Round 8
On the ledge to the east Isaril slides his scimitar from its sheath and slides it into the persistent goblin’s chest cavity
[#5, AC26crit!, 14 slash] and gives the weapon a vicious twist before kicking the goblin off the ledge.
“Let’s see you come back from that!” Almost as an afterthought the elf points his blade at Val and utters a Healing Word.
[Val regains+7HP]
Using the momentum from his previous swing Val puts his full weight behind his glaive and spins round to bury the blade in the side of the goblin just south of him.
[#Bigger Goblin, AC25 crit!, 25 slash] As the poleaxed goblin drops, the goblin’s king shouts,
“Yousa die when I say so!” and unbelievably the fallen goblin gasps as its eyes shoot open and it resumes breathing. Val tugs his weapon free from the prone body just as the commanding voice continues,
“KILL!” and all the able goblins in melee gain two attacks.
[Val: AC21, 7 slash & AC19, 5 slash] [Unbar: AC23, 5 slash & AC24 crit! 10 slash] [Unicorn: total 27 slash] The flanking assault overcomes the mystical unicorn and it dissipates leaving no trace.
An arrow flashes from the shadows at the cavern entrance and takes a green-skinned archer in the ear,
[#3: AC21, 15 pierce] exiting through the other side. The goblin expires. Before any have really assimilated the intrusion a slightly down-at-heel elf steps from the southern shadows and plants an arrow in the chest of another diminutive archer.
[#4, AC16, 13 pierce] The elf takes a pace back into the gloom.
Unbar clonks his warhammer on the cavern wall, looking as if he’s dropped it. As Unbar’s goblin glances south to see what’s happening the cunning drawrf whips his warhammer round and smacks his distracted foe under the chin.
[#9, AC17, 11crush] Its head snaps back and bones break. It drops, dead.
Next Vic moves to the edge of his ledge and tries to Knife the golbin's king with a shard of Ice. It hits the rocky column obscuring the feellow with the crown but does peppers the immediate area with cold glass-like fragments.
[King saves, Big Goblin #1 saves, '1 fails] The weedy-looking goblin
[#10] pitches worwards and lays on the ground seeping blood as it dies. Before Vic can move back to slink behind the rocky cover
[+2AC] a spikey, pallid disk, three foot in diameter, trailing dozens of writhing tentacles appears next to Vic. It's two eyestalks try to reach for the ceiling as they focus on the sorceror and its tentacles go rigid as if electocuted. Vic steps back behind the meagre cover and the weird disk thing floats off into the dark tunnel to the east. Vic's voice emerges from behind the rocks,
"Keep it up boys!"
The goblin
[#8] to Val's north tries to cut the mountain man down but ties too hard and nearly drops its sword.
[#8, AC6, misses]
One of the big goblins
[#BG1] moves carefully past Unbar and slashes at the dwarf's rear. A heartbeat latter the other big goblin
[#BG2] steps forwards to flank Unbar and assail him. Neither penetrate the cleric's sturdy armour. Perhaps noting this, the crown-wearer moves behind Unbar and raises his voice again,
"Yousa getta in here!" A weedy-looking goblin
[#11] dashes into view to stand next to Unbar, forming a flanking position with its summoner. The leader makes three slashes with its scimitar, only one possibly troubling Unbar.
[Unbar: AC21, 9 slash]
The bigger gobli climbs to its feet and slashes at Val's flank, swinging recklesly* with both scimitars.
[#BiggerG, AC15, 8 slash; AC18, 7 slash] [*Attacks on this goblin before its next turn will be with advantage]
