Act 2, Scene 3: Twisting Paths

[Dargon Lonewolf]

Bull moves up on the lower side of the pillar in the middle. Next to Nocturno if he can see any any of the goblins to the south he will throw 3 darts at them. Two at one and the last at the second.

[Jenara]

Katten waits for the others to join her, arrow notched and another ready as she waits to see if they approach.

(Hide in shadows, [1d100]=23 pass)

[Nocturno]

Nocturno waits to see who gets rushed and then will attack.

Longsword(16): [1d20]=20 [1d8+3]=8+3=11

[TristenC]

[Wow, 3 crits this round from the party... Nice! Seems a shame to 'waste' them on goblins though...]

Jordek and Fin hide in place as best they can while Katten and Linar remain hidden, bows drawn and focused on the threats ahead. Nocturno falls back to mention the setup to Bull, and the pair move forward. The Minotaur edges towards the corner, spotting the three goblins. Just as he comes around the corner, the two goblins to the north and the three to to the south spot the massive fighter just as the first dart flies forward! Like a bolt from a crossbow it takes the nearest goblin in the chest, knocking him backwards with the force of the missile!

To the north the two goblins cry out and charge forward, catching the attention of the Worg in the hall to the west! The first goblin gets hardly a half-dozen paces before arrows sprout from its chest and face, causing it to tumble lifelessly to the hard stone. The second rushes the Felis archer, but Nocturno is prepared to defend them and steps around the column to meet the wetrock tribesman with a vicious upward slash; severing the raider's arm and head in a single powerful swing!

The second and third darts sail from the Minotaur's hand, absolutely devastating the remaining two goblins to the south, silencing them permanently. Seeing the Worg alerted, Katten and Linar fire at it as well; one arrow causing a small injury to it's shoulder.

[Nocturno]

Nocturno will try to rush the worg. Hopefully meeting it half way, since it is probably out of his range.

Longsword(16): [1d20]=3 [1d8+3]=8+3=11

[Dargon Lonewolf]

Bull moves a couple steps forward and throws three more darts at the Worg.

MMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOO! These darts work pretty well. Better than the bow with shorter range. Come and get some Doggie!

[1d20+3]=5+3=8 Dart Miss

[Styrius]

Findalsip will move up behind Linar near the pillar.

[TristenC]

Fin and Jordek move up to join Linar, crouched at the central column. The forest gnome begins an incantation, enhancing a trio of small stones with magical power. The worg in view comes barreling out of the side passage, snarling and growling a challenge to the intruders as it closes to attack Nocturno! The Protector's heavy armor proves proof enough against the slavering jaws of the evil beast. He slashes back in kind but the speed of the canine's assault causes his retaliation to go wide. Nearby, Bullock manages to hurl one of his deadly darts at the animal; the metal spike punching deep into the enemy's side! Before he can bring a second missile to bear a second Worg, with mounted goblin spearman, barrels out of the passage beyond. The combined efforts of the worg-rider and his mount prove effective as both land more than glancing blows against the minotaur, injuring him further!

Goblin voices cry out in alarm and several more of the wetrocks tribesmen appear! One such hesitates upon seeing the party, glancing to the south as if he means to run for reinforcements rather than engage! Another rushes to the lone warg and scrambles to climb into position just below it's shoulders. The Feliz and the Drow focus fire on the injured steed, the Drow's arrow taking it above the collarbone; the arrow skillfully finding the heart of the moving monstrosity. Crashing to the hard stone, the twisted wolf-kin lies still while it's rider manages to slide free of the fallen beast. Shouting obscenities in his native tongue the worg-rider brandishes his spear; clearly enraged at the loss of his mount! Katten responds by putting an arrow in the Worg harassing Bullock.

Katten aims two arrows at the fleeing creature, missing twice due to the general noise and chaos around her.

Findalsip hurls a stone with his sling at the goblin directly to the left in the image. Sadly it will miss even with a strength of stone bonus str=16.

[TristenC]

Hearing his allies cry out to stop the fleeing goblin, Jordek makes his way around the central column. Using his magical echolocation he targets one of the two tribesmen trying to get away, but misses his shot. Fin slings a stone of his own at the goblin attacking Nocturno, with similar results. The goblin continues to try to puncture his opponent, but his makeshift spear cannot make it past the heavily armored elf's defenses.

The Worg and mounted goblin continue their assault on Bullock. The minotaur strikes the worg hard with his sword, and tries to gore him with a headbutt besides! Unfortunately, the nimble canine avoids the attack, causing Bull to overextend and fall flat! Taking advantage of the stumble, the slavering jaws of the monstrous wolf sink deeply into his back; tearing flesh and cracking bone! The rider tries to stab at the downed foe, but his spear is knocked free from the thrashing of his mount.

One of the goblins to the south tries to flee but Katten manages a crisp shot through the melee, catching the enemy in the chest and dropping him instantly. The Drow moves up beside the Sun Elf and takes a shot at the other fleeing goblin. He manages to barely clip it's neck, sending it stumbling to the ground where it clutches the wound. Struggling to crawl away it weakly stretches out one arm to the south but soon lies still. Seeing it's fellow killed, one of the newly arrived foes rushes forward, shouting in his native tongue. You keel Znot!! ME keel YOU! With a wild fury the goblin rushes forward, spearing Linar through the side! With a flash his magical armor winks out as the crude weapon punches into his flesh. Coughing, blood begins to flow over the Drow's lips. Jordek hurls another stone, clocking the goblin in the side of the head.
