VII. Tree Cave - Level 2

[onlyme]

Junius falls back, sword ready to swipe anything attacking him.

[Rusty Tincanne]

Seeing Junius near death (again), AdaRue races up behind him, reciting a prayer for healing.

Cure Light Wounds [1d6+1] = 4+1 = 5

[Zhym]

Keebler falls back into the hallway, hoping to avoid further arrows—and maybe find some healing.

Tippin fires another arrow from behind the partial cover of the entrance.

Short bow (THAC0 19): [1d20+2] = 17+2 = 19, [1d6] = 3

Is Tippin actually getting any benefit from the "cover" of the corner?

[Bluehorse]

Mila

Cast Shield on Keebler hoping to save him from further damage that would certainly spell his death. Otherwise, she will back out of the way of those trying to retreat.

[Alethan]

Hastin attacks the sword-wielding goblin...

Longsword [1d20] = 1 Damage [1d8] = 2


*sigh* FFS...

[AleBelly]

Canun will look for a way to get to the main room, loading a sling and letting a stone fly. He'll target the one he blinded, but if that doesn't work he'll hope to hit a bowman instead.

Sling attack [1d20] = 13, damage [1d4] = 2

[dmw71]

Round 3
The goblins continue to act with a determined quickness. The spear-goblin facing Junius makes quick work of the dwarf, skewering him (-2). Junius loses the grip on his sword as he collapses. The goblin archer, also targeting Junius, sends an arrow sailing harmlessly over the now downed form of the dwarven hero.

On the opposite side of the chamber, Hastin finds himself confronted by a trio of goblin pests -- two with swords, one with a mace. The fighting man manages to elude the strikes from two of his opponents, but feels the sting (-4) of a curved goblin blade that slips past his defenses.

AdaRue, noticing Junius was in bad shape even before this latest blow, bravely steps forward and, at the last possible instant, casts a healing spell (+5) on her fallen dwarven companion.... who begins to stir back to life!

Hastin, overcome with goblin attackers, lashes out at the sword-wielding goblin that struck him moments earlier... and flails wildly, allowing the goblin a reflexive counter-strike, which is equally unsuccessful.

Back near the entrance to the chamber, Canun steps forward and sends a sling stone sailing at the goblin he blinded moments earlier. The stone thuds against the back of the creatures skull, killing it! Tippin sends an arrow at the nearest goblin engaged with Hastin, and strikes it with precision with a fatal shot! Keebler, nearing death's door, quickly slides past Canun, retreating into the relative safety of the hallway. Mila, spying the elf's condition, and the wound inflicted by the goblin spear, casts her 'Shield' spell on Keebler for if and when he re-enters the fray.

[AleBelly]

Canun lets out a victory whoop as he reloads his sling and targets the bowgoblin.

Sling attack [1d20] = 2, damage [1d4] = 3

[Zhym]

Keebler steps up and fires ineffectively at the archer at the edge of the light.

Long bow (THAC0 19): [1d20] = 7, [1d8] = 8

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I got this!" claims Tippin confidently has he looses an arrow straight at the goblin archer's head.

Short bow (THAC0 19): [1d20+2] = 20+2 = 22, [1d6] = 3

[Alethan]

Hastin tries again...

Longsword [1d20] = 4 Damage [1d8] = 1


OOC: So... apparently I shouldn't have made Hastin a fighter.

[Rusty Tincanne]

Desperate to protect her friend, AdaRue uses her freshly-painted shield to body-check the goblin threatening Junius. Take that, you filthy beast!

Shield Attack! [1d20+1] = 11+1 = 12
I don't know what sort of damage a shield should inflict. 1d6, perhaps? Anyhow, I'll let Dave decide and roll. She has a STR modifier of +1 to damage.

[onlyme]

Junius, weary from slipping in and out of his senses, instinctively swats at the goblin attacking him and AdaRue, but to no use.
Scimitar attack [1d20+1] = 7+1 = 8 ; damage [1d8+1] = 8+1 = 9

[dmw71]

Round 4
The goblins continue their quick attacks, but none of them do so successfully. The group nearly manages to equal the goblin ineffectiveness, except for Tippin who manages to successfully graze the goblin archer with his latest projectile.

Sorry this update is so short. However, there was very little of note to actually update, and I am crazy busy preparing for our move which is next weekend (August 12th).

  Tippin (20): 3 or [1d6] = 3

[onlyme]

Junius swats in scimitar ineffectively at the spear-loving goblin.

Scimitar attack [1d20+1] = 5+1 = 6 ; damage [1d8+1] = 6+1 = 7

[AleBelly]

Canun loads his sling and fires it at a goblin (bowman is first priority target). He calls out to Junius and AdaRue "Careful with his head! That's our lantern on his shoulders!"

Sling attack [1d20] = 14, damage [1d4] = 3

[Zhym]

Keebler and Tippin fire their bows at any goblin still standing.

Keebler: Long bow (THAC0 19): [1d20] = 6, [1d8] = 3
Tippin: Short bow (THAC0 19): [1d20+2] = 18+2 = 20, [1d6] = 6

[Alethan]

Hastin continues to be ineffective...

Longsword [1d20] = 10 Damage [1d8] = 7

[Rusty Tincanne]

AdaRue Hanspitcher, midwife's apprentice, is disgusted by Canun's joke about carrying around a severed head. She takes it out on the goblin harrying herself and Junius. Leave him alone! Can't you see he's hurt!?

[dmw71]

Round 5
Tired of the goblins always having the upper hand when it comes to attacking first, the group makes a concerted effort to strike first. Despite his condition, AdaRue is content to position herself behind Junius. She swipes her broom at the spear-toting goblin before repositioning herself. The goblin easy fends off the broom swat, then also manages to successfully duck under the slashing scimitar of Junius.

Hastin continues to find it difficult to damage either of the goblin adversaries dancing around him. Canun and Keebler share the fighting man's frustration as their ranged attacks sails wide of their intended targets. Meanwhile, Tippin fails to have the same difficulty as he lets loose an arrow which strikes and drops the goblin archer, finishing the job he began moments earlier.

After the goblin spear jabs and narrowly misses Junius, AdaRue scolds the goblin attacker: "Leave him alone! Can't you see he's hurt!?"

A mere 15- or 20-feet away, Hastin continues to battle his pair of goblin attackers. His defense proves to be more effective than his offense as the fighting man is able to successfully side-step the goblin blade jabbed at him, while knocking aside the mace strike with his shield.
