Chapter 6: The Evil Queen & Her Fortress

[Rex]

I think it is +2 for non-thieves and +4 for thieves in 2e.

[Cwreando]

Trist

I wasn't sure, so I had a question mark there for the DM. If we're lucky Trist might hit with both shots. Most likely just one though.

Delsenora

Attack with Short Bow[1d20+3]=19+3=22, Damage with Sheaf Arrows S/M [1d8]=2 L [1d8]=3
Attack with Short Bow[1d20+3]=14+3=17, Damage with Sheaf Arrows S/M [1d8]=2 L [1d8]=5
This is not counting +2 from the back

Elanriel
Appears to not have a bow in her possession, so she will guard the rear.

[GreyWolfVT]

I'll have to check the Player's option or PHB I don't rightly recall what the bonus is for behind attacks off the top of my head but I am going BTB on it. Question is which book.

I couldn't find anything on attacking from behind for non-thieves, maybe I was thinking 1e.

[RiverGreenForest]

Could I make a backstab attack or did the hobgoblins discover us? If so, I'll have to read more into it.

[RiverGreenForest]

Xlore

Quietly getting ready, the Elf fires an arrow at the hobgoblins from behind.

Long bow to hit: [1d20+4]=8+4=12, damage with long bow: S/M[1d6]=1 L[1d6]=3

Long bow to hit: [1d20+4]=1+4=5, damage with long bow: S/M[1d6]=1 L[1d6]=1

OOC - I don't know if I wrote that out right, please let me know if I need to change it.

[GreyWolfVT]

The hobgoblins give chase shouting at Misha and Krofter but their shouts soon end in croaks, and death throws as between the combined attacks they are dropped dead in their tracks as they collapse and bleed out on the cavern passage floor.

[Rex]

Egon

Egon will search them for anything useful (keys etc).

[gurusql]

Delsenora

Delsenora will recover her two arrows.
Projectile Recovery: [1d12]=7
Projectile Recovery: [1d12]=7

Elanriel

Elanriel will maintain the rear guard.

[Cwreando]

Trist

Trist will try to recover her two arrows.

[1d12]=6

[1d12]=11

Recovers both.

[Rex]

Egon

After checking the body, Egon will search for his arrows to.

Arrow search [1d12]=5 [1d12]=11

[Darklin2]

Grimnir

Retrieves his javelin cleaning the head on their clothes.

[GreyWolfVT]

The two dead hobgoblins have very little of use other than their weapons, both short swords. Neither has much in the way of coin on them and neither carry any keys. However, they both bear that same symbol indicating they work for the queen. They also both have odd amulets on. Perhaps they mean something or are important for passing through doors into the keep? It is hard to say without more information.

[Rex]

Egon

Egon takes the amulets. "These look important maybe some sort of pass? Who wants the second one for now?"

[gurusql]

Delsenora

"Let have the front have them for now, so Xlore."

[Rex]

Egon

Egon will hand over the second amulet to Xlore.

"Maybe when we have time someone could check them for magic just in case."

[gurusql]

Delsenora

"Good idea, but did not get that today - so I cannot perhaps another."

[Cwreando]

Trist

"I do not have it memorized today. When we rest, I can swap something out for it too."

[shaidar]

Weston

"I have that spell, if we feel it prudent to use it at this time."
