* Naralon casts a spell that shatters the fourth wall. "Hey, I want that dice!"

Aeter:
The party learned from Captain Skellerang that there is a goblin infestation within the city. The party was offered gold in exchange for every iron ring upon the goblin's right ear in tribute for each kill, but the Captain also begged the party's assistance: To find the cause of these sudden goblin raids and put it at a stop. After day after day of investigation, the party finally brought the hammer down upon Orak Stonehaven's bathhouse. The wererat guards within were defeated, and the dwarf was interrogated. This is where we left the party. Naralon stood over the tied Orak, throwing a subtle verbal knife when she could to coax the information out of Orak... but to no avail. No matter how much they tried, Orak refused everything. He denied the world, no matter how the sweat beaded on his forehead.
Aeter:
The interrogation continued until one thing was obvious by those that were interrogating him: He was being magically compelled by something or someone to *not* give up that information.
Ivanika:
The priestess stands over the dwarf, giving him another nudge with her heeled boots. "Zanorin, t'ink you can carry zhis dwarf for me?"
Aeter:
The party found one way down into the bowels behind a steel door... But, there was another familiar face wandering by. Fario had given Victor remarkably good directions -- directions that would lead him directly to Orak's bathhouse, where the party waited.
* Naralon thinks deeply on the matter before speaking up. "This isn't going to work. Not with mundane means, anyway. This dwarf is being magically controlled."

Ivanika:
"Vhat vill not vork?" she raises an eyebrow and looks to the gnome.

Naralon:
"Hmm, well..." she replies, trailing off for a few seconds. "Beats me!"

Ivanika:
"Ve need to ensure zhe custody of zhis dwarf and his ratling allies, yes? Zhat is vhat I am t'inking. Zhe rest of you should vatch zhese bodies, make sure zhey are safe. I fear zhey may be carried off if ve do not keep an eye on zhem. Ve vill return vith guards as soon as ve can."

Naralon:
"We won't get any info out of him like we are, and I don't have any methods to remove the magic from him."

Orak Stonehaven:
" They ain't me allies! Why won't ye listen ta me?!"

Ivanika:
Iva looks to Naralon for a moment, she looks around wondering if perhaps her common is not quite right. "Yes.. I t'ink you are correct. Zhat is vhy ve must ensure he stays in.. zhat ve do not let him go, yes? Zhat he does not escape?"
* Elisabetha stares at Orak. "Thanks for the nice bruise on the back of my head."
* Victor Reede makes his way through the streets, keeping his head somewhat low. He'd borrowed a long coat from the Striders of Fharlaghn before he'd departed their numbers, and he kept his hands deep in its pockets. His guisarme was strung over his back, along with his ever-swollen backpack. He glanced up at the building before him - Orak's Bathhouse. It's where he had been told to go. He moves to test the door, and, were it open, he'd enter.
Naralon:
"You're right, we gotta do something about him. But what about that passage by the wall?" she says, pointing to the east.

Ivanika:
"Ve shall get to it shortly. No need to rush. Ve must be prepared ~ no lives are immediately at stake." she nods to no one in particular.
Naralon:
"True, true! But if we involve the authorities, who's to say we'll be able to get back in here?"
* Victor Reede steps over the bloodied remains of the wearrats, pausing a moment to look at them curiously. His hair was unkempt and his beard a slight shaggier, but his zest for learning hadn't left him. He glances up to the others with a tired smile. "I'm glad to see you all in one piece, though I believe a friend of ours has gone in my absence..."

Ivanika:
"Who else vill zhey vant to send to investigate?" she crosses her arms and leans back on her heels.

Ivanika:
"Ve are 'Defiance' afterall, yes?"
* Ivanika rolls: d20+1 => 3 + 1 = 4

Fellian Shard:
"The traveler returns from the Path." Fellian mused as he glanced over his shoulder towards Victor. "I think I have found the one sent to investigate."
Naralon:
"I mean, it's not uncommon for authorities to put a place like this on lockdown. Plus-" she gets cut off by Victor's entrance. "Whoa! Heya, Victor! Long time no see!"

Shona:
"Victor. It's good to see you. All of you still here."
Naralon:
"It's good to see you! Especially without the icky Vanishing goop on you."

Ivanika:
Iva turns to look toward Victor, the two of them having nearly exchanged appearenced. "Victor!" her serious expression immediately shifting to a warm smile.
Victor Reede:
"Most of me." He agrees, tucking his left hand from his pocket to splay his fingers open, showing they were, indeed, opaque.

Shona:
"Oh. Wow." Shona quickly came over to explore Victors arm. "What is this?"
* Elisabetha crosses her arms over her chest. "Great...welcome back. I suppose."

Shona:
Shona moves over to Victor and gives a heardy slap on the back. "Welcome back." She offers her own smile.
Kyokan:
"Its good to see you again Victor."
Victor Reede:
"Likewise, Zanorin - all of you, really. Now, how can I help?"

Shona:
"So, how was it on the brink of disappearing?"
Victor Reede:
"I was in good hands." He nods to Fellian, a grateful expression on his face. "I cannot thank you or your company enough, Strider."

Ivanika:
"Zhis dwarf is zhe erstwhile proprieter of zhis crooked bath. His friends over zhere," she nods to the dead bodies, "are ratlings. Lycanthorpes," her tongue struggles with the word but manages to get it out, "And zhere is a bath in zhe back zhat leads down, ve know not vhere to."

Shona:
((Yay. Millitary talk I know nothing about.))

Shona:
((Yeah. Puddle Pirate. My favorite...))
Elisabetha: (( *Beth slides up to the new and improved Fellian* Ohi. ))
* Victor Reede nods, poking one of the dead were-rats with his boot. "Anything useful from him?"

Shona:
"Anyway. Iva. I totally agree with you. We should get this Dwarf to the athoraties. I will go with Zan incase we get jumped."

Ivanika:
"Not'ink. He 'tinks ve're going to turn him over to zhe authorites for safe keeping - zhat is my plan at least." She looks at Felian again. And then looks at Felian longer.

Ivanika:
*cute little wave, as she bashfully slides her hips back and forth, holding her other hand behind her and trying not to giggle* (( okay that one is just kidding ))

Fellian Shard:
"I will join you, Shona. I will speak to Captain Skellerang and request he send guards to secure this area."
* Elisabetha glances at Iva, watching her watch Fellian. She takes a step closer to her elf friend and murmurs to her. "Yep. Me, too."
Naralon:
"So the rest of us will stay behind and watch this place?"

Ivanika:
"I t'ink so ~" she pauses a bit before she can break off her gaze, "Um.. I fear it may be attacked. But perhaps Felian should come vith us to help make sure he does not escape."
* Victor Reede sits on the steps of the largest bath, seeming to take a load off for a moment - unshouldering his pack, and, seemingly, other burdens as he eases back into the group of his good comrades.

Fellian Shard:
" Until the guards arrive. We will not be long. " After all, it was day and the sun was high in the sky.
Victor Reede:
"Perhaps Fellian, Naralon and Zanorin ought to go, while the rest watch the bathhouse."

Shona:
"Plus, the first gaurd we see we can send over. "
Naralon:
"Mm! Whatever works for you guys."

Fellian Shard:
" Very well. Shall we?" He gave a nod to the group, moving over towards the door.
* Naralon happily skips along with the departing group.
* Victor Reede watches Ivanika, bolting back to his feet. He hops over the bath's channel, invading personal space!

Ivanika:
( Iva is wearing a masterwork chainshirt now, that does not cover her upper back to leave her wings free )

Zanorin:
Zanorin follows gripping the rope that bound the dwarf. "Lets get going the faster we get there the better."

Shona:
"Go quickly. Be safe."

Ivanika:
Iva turns her upper body a bit, her eyes focusing on Victor, "Yes.. hello again!" she offers a slightly hesitant smile, wondering if he is going to try to suddenly hug her or some other strange customary greeting she is unfamiliar with

Shona:
((Is it secret? Is it Safe?))
* Victor Reede throws his arms over her shoulders!... only to lightly poke and prod at her wings. "Fascinating, just fascinating! You and I will have to have a very long talk when we've time, yes..." Victor murmurs, leaning over her shoulder to look past. The cool touch of metal would contrast flesh as he poked at either of her wings, carefully studying their architecture. "Are they your own? Your lineage must be more interesting than I could have ever guessed."
Elisabetha: (( WHERE IS BETH SUPPOSED TO GO, OMG OMG OMG OMG ))
Elisabetha: (( Ok! ))

Shona:
Shona began to slowly drag the dead wererat bodies into the back corner room. She looked over at Victor and laughed to herself as he began to pester Iva about her wings.
Aeter:
Zanorin, Fellian, Naralon, and Elisabetha went off to escort Orak to the guard captain who truly asked no questions as to what was going on. With the wererat proof, Skellerang took Orak on just the party's words and locked him in the dungeon before sending the group back with a guard escort, adding "find out what's going on with those rat bastards, and we'll handle this. Find what's going on with that path down beneath the city. My guards aren't equipped to handle that sort of expedition, and it's either you or the Stormblades."

Ivanika:
Iva turns her head first to the left and then to the right, trying to get a better view of Victor as he so rudely pokes and prods, "Yes.. zhey are my vings, please be careful. Zhey are already in bad enough shape." the feathers are mattered and many mis-aligned or missing from many weeks of abuse.

Naralon:
"You can count on us, sir!" she says, giving Skellerang and the guards a spirited salute and turning attention back to the quest at hand.
Victor Reede:
"I - oh, of course. I apologize." He coughs softly against his shoulder, pulling his arms back, walking around her in a quick circle to look at them closely from behind. "Can they bear you aloft? That must be wondrous."

Ivanika:
She nods a little, her eyes following him as he circles her, "It is quite alright.. you are not zhe first to be curious yes?" she smiles a little, "I vas just not expecting it so suddenly. Your question - yes, zhey do vork, zhough my father hated vhen I dared to use zhem." She laughs a little.
* Naralon turns to the party. "Since that's all taken care of, what do you guys say we go take on some bad guys?!" she exclaims with an enthusiastic look on her face.
Victor Reede:
"I can imagine it's hard to watch an heir fly about, yes." He chuckles, circling her once again, for good measure. "I'd like to sketch them sometime, if I may." He nods to the priestess of Pelor, looking to Elisabetha. He tilts his head, drawing nearer to the WArlock. "Were the children saved?" He asks, a little quietly.

Ivanika:
"Ve may vish to check our provisions and supplies first, yes? Ve do not know how long we may have to be down zhere."
* Elisabetha looks at Victor and nods. "Yes."
Victor Reede:
"I'm glad, I know you were very worried about them - I only wish I could have remained longer to help."
* Naralon straps her pack around her shoulders. "Already checked my stuff this morning. I'm good for a trip. Don't know about the rest of you though; go ahead and stock up now if you need."
* Elisabetha closes her eyes for a brief moment before reopening them. "I'm sure. Everything turned out well in the end, though, even with your...illness." (See the Unseen)
* Victor Reede nods to Zanorin - the ambidexterous fighter had always seemed the stoic sort, but he was happy to see him, nonetheless. "I agree, let me just take inventory of my supplies very quickly."

Ivanika:
Iva nods, her attention a little torn with the sudden events of the morning. Considering the coming exploration, the sudden return of Victor, and the sudden make over of Fellian.. "Yes.. I t'ink zhat is an excellent idea, Naralon. Can ve find a store near?"
Victor Reede:
"I've one on my back, practically." Victor chuckles, rubbing his beard. "I could use a moment, if you want to wait an hour."

Fellian Shard:
" We all ate this morning. I have my equipment prepared as always. A traveler must be aware of the dangers upon the Path. When we are prepared, we should begin -- preferably before they are alerted to our presence."

Naralon:
"I'm sure there's one nearby. Go on ahead, I'll wait for you all here."

Ivanika:
"Have you brought enough food and somet'ink for me to sleep on?" she asks to Fellian, obviously nowhere near as well prepared as the CLERIC OF THE TRAVEL GOD.
* Victor Reede digs through his pack, pulling out a blackened leather kid.

Fellian Shard:
" This is not a trip through the woods, Lady Ivanika. This path leads down into a dangerous region. If Goblins are rising from the underbelly, we must be swift. Also, the beasts see in the deep as well as we do with the sun's grace overhead. We must not be caught unprepared or sleeping in comfort in the beneath."
Victor Reede:
"Does Elisabetha still have a store of sunrods?" Good memory!
* Victor Reede uses the bath as both a mirror and a water source, taking a few long moments to tidy up his ungroomed shave and his unruly hair.
* Elisabetha nods again. "Several."
* Naralon leans against the stone steps by the water, browsing through her treasured book while waiting for the rest of the group to prepare.

Ivanika:
Iva crosser her arms and looks down in frustration, "hmph."
Victor Reede:
"Iva, I think I've provisions enough for two."

Ivanika:
"Zhank you.. Victor." she lifts her head enough to look at Victor and nod in thanks, she takes a few steps toward the door down.
Elisabetha: (( [e-mail] ))
* Victor Reede rinses off his razor and scissors, before taking a moment to wash any remaining lather from his goatee. He packs up his shave kit and hefts his pack back on with a little grunt. "I'm curious to see what you've all learned in my absence. I've to show you some of the rubbings I took of leaves on my recovery trip..." He begins to follow Ivanika.
* Elisabetha couldn't help but quip "We waited for him to shave? Really?"
Aeter:
aaaaaaaaaay sexy layday
Aeter:
op op op op oppan gangnam style

Fellian Shard:
"I am prepared when you all are."

Shona:
"Ready and waiting."
* Elisabetha rolls her eyes and pushes away from the wall to begin the trek...where they were going. Beth knows. The player doesn't. Shh.
* Elisabetha totally follows Fellian.

Ivanika:
Iva spends as much time preparing her clothing and appearence as she does praying.. it makes for a long morning!

Ivanika:
(even though having a maid helps! )
Victor Reede:
(All going in then?)

Naralon:
(I'm torn because Naralon should be spending hours every morning to prepare because she's a woman but then I would be afraid of being sexist.)

Shona:
((ONWARD! WITH ALL MY STENGTH!))

Ivanika:
( Yep !)
Elisabetha: (( Beth's just naturally gorgeous. She combs her hair and goes. ))

Ivanika:
(( the au naturale look! ))

Ivanika:
(( Iva went with that for like eight weeks without bathing ))

Ivanika:
(( now she's in recovery ))

Naralon:
(( Eh, I can take the wizard route. Fix it with magic. ))
* Elisabetha tosses a sunrod to Victor. "Here, carry this."
* Victor Reede catches it in his right hand.
Victor Reede:
"Useful."
* Naralon strolls right along, able to see just fine, slightly pitying the rest of her group for not being blessed with awesome gnomishness.
Victor Reede:
((Like how Koreans are KEKEKEKEKEKE))
Victor Reede:
((While they zergling rush you.))
Aeter:
jajajajajaja
Naralon:
FOR THE HORDE
Aeter:
The stone stairs from Orak's Bathhouse descend thirty feet, eventually opening into a five-foot-wide corridor that runs north to south. The masonry walls are covered with crude graffiti written in chalk, blood, slime, excrement, and other less recognizable substances. To the east, you hear a strange cacophony of monstrous chatter and barking dogs. There are two openings in the east wall. The doors that once sealed these openings have been removed, but their hinges remain in place. On the wall directly across from the staircase, written in goblin blood in the Goblin tongue, are the words "DRAKTHAR IS DEAD! LONG LIVE DRAKTHAR!"
* Naralon sniffs the air. "Ew! Smells like gross."
Victor Reede:
"It's not a wonderful smell, no," Victor agrees, holding the sunrod towards the wall. He tries to determine how fresh the message is. " 'Drakthar is dead! Long live Drakthar!' How curious," Heal: « 1d20+1 = 9 + 1 = 10 »
Aeter:
You have no clue.
* Victor Reede takes his glasses off. "Looks like this blood's... run cold."
Naralon:
"Is that what it says? Huh. These guys are more lopsided than I am!"
Shona:
"Awwwwwwwww yeahhhhhh!"
Aeter:
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Ivanika:
Iva ponders the graffiti, "Zhat.. does not sound good."
Shona:
lol
Aeter:
I stopped sharing things that Kalim says with Sokraun.
Shona:
"I wonder if they will take his life as a marytar (sp)
Aeter:
He just kind of glares ate me since he's army.
Shona:
"
Aeter:
at*
Aeter:
"Kalim's in IT and he can play WoW!" Sokraun: " fucking navy"
Ivanika:
"I suspect.. it means he is no longer dead, yes?"
* Victor Reede offers his sunrod to Ivanika, pulling his hookblade-on-a-stick off his pack.
Victor Reede:
"Perhaps he's a zombie?"
Ivanika:
Iva holds it in her left hand and holds it up for him. "Undead yes.. I suspect."
Shona:
"Oh. very true. So, which way do we go? Toward the noise? Or away?"
Victor Reede:
"I hear barking - it's likely they're aware we're near, if their hounds can smell us."
Ivanika:
"If zhey know ve are here.. ve should face zhen I 'tink." she takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself, her instincts wishing the exact opposite approach.
* Victor Reede 's brows perk in surprise.
Naralon:
"Well, if we don't take them on, the attacks will continue on the surface and we'll be in danger regardless, right?"
Shona:
"Well. If surprise is forfeit. We might as well. How hard can a few goblins be?"
Naralon:
"Better we face them now, on our terms. It's just logical!"
Victor Reede:
"Elisabetha?"
* Elisabetha looks at the gnome and shakes her head with a sigh. "Well...let's go."
Ivanika:
(( Though actually she has knowledge devotion nwo so she is quite able ))
Ivanika:
(( but in the last adventure she did more damage than just about anyone.. despite having no reason to do any damage )
Zanorin:
Zanorin draws his swords."well is everyone ready then?"
* Victor Reede nods. "A little rustier than I once was, we'll see."
Naralon:
"Let's go! I'm ready to make some sparklies."
Ivanika:
Iva draws her hobgoblin longsword, feeling a great deal of trepediation as she advances behind Victor.
Shona:
Shona went ahead and drew her silver daggers at first, fearful of more wererats
Aeter:
LOCK MOVEMENT
Aeter:
*Dingalingaling!* Zanorin's leg gave a hard tug of a tripwire that was on the ground, causing a loud bell to ring somewhere up ahead in the side room. Immediately, the chatter stopped.
Naralon:
"Whoopsie!"
Shona:
"Oh god."
Aeter:
Moments later, the two goblins nearby stuck their head out of the door and let out a roar of challenge as they bared their weapons and charged the group! (Roll Initiative)

Naralon:

Aeter:

"Mighty, Merciful Pelor.. bless us vith your strength, make all of us... strong like bull!"

Fellian Shard:
Fellian came around the corner, slipping behind Beth and leaning to her side. "Hard left!" He called to the group, aiming a single arrow down the hall and letting it fly towards the first Goblin, around his companions.

Fellian Shard:
« 1d20+5 = 14 + 5 = 19 »

Fellian Shard:
« 1d8 = 8 »

Fellian Shard:
The lead goblin took an arrow straight to the chest, falling dead to the ground.
Elisabetha has received initiative.
* Elisabetha glares at the half-elf. He may be cute, but she didn't give him permission to touch her! "Right side now!" She didn't give anyone time to, though, she totally shot the blast past their heads. Muhwahahaha. (Oh, God, no nat 1, no nat 1, no nat 1.) « 1d20+5 = 19 + 5 = 24 » against Goblin Skirmisher 17.

Naralon has received initiative.
* Naralon grins as the party tears it's way through the swarm of goblins. "Well done, well done! You guys go ahead, I'm just going to do this here for a second..." Naralon raises a palm in front of her as energy coalesces about her in the form of a shield. (Casting Shield, +4 bonus AC)

Naralon:
(End turn)
Aeter:
From the east came howls of "BREE YARK!" followed by the trampling of goblin feet as they rushed out, diving for Naralon!

Naralon:
"Uh oh!"
Aeter:

Naralon:
"Oh yeah! Nice shot, Shona!"
Ivanika:
Iva raises her crossbow, focusing on the inhereit weaknesses of goblins.. their big heads. Knowledge Local: « d20+9 = 7 + 9 = 16 »
Ivanika:
She fires her crossbow at the front skirmisher, « d20+4 = 10 + 4 = 14 »

Shona:
"I do what I can Naralon."
Victor Reede:
"Hold fast, we'll thin them out!" Victor assures the swordsman, stepping nearer to swing at one of the offending gobbos.
Victor Reede:
« 1d20+3 = 3 + 3 = 6 »

Fellian Shard:
Fellian decided to give cover in the best way he could; by carving a path. Even though he was an archer by trade, he could get into combat with the best of him, and he chose to do so in this moment; setting aside his bow and drawing his sword as he waded into the goblin infested side room and swung hard at the Goblin Sneak 6.

Fellian Shard:
« 1d20-1 = 13 - 1 = 12 »

Fellian Shard:
« 1d8-1 = 1 - 1 = 0 »

Fellian Shard:
And doing no damage!
Victor Reede:
((Lmao.))
Ivanika:
Iva slowly loaded the crossbow before raising it, surely she could remember how to operate the darn thing. With a beginner's touch she raised the device to her shoulder, and rested her cheek against the stock. With some luck, or fortune behind her, she managed to loose the bolt toward one of the goblins piling behind Zanorin, the heavy steel-tipped wooden bolt lodging in the little green man's shoulder.
Victor Reede:
((Noodle-arms.))
Elisabetha has received initiative.
Elisabetha: (( Can I hitSneak 1? ))

Fellian Shard:

Naralon has received initiative.
* Naralon whips out her quarterstaff, spinning it skillfully about her like a trained monk. No, just kidding. But she does take out the staff and tries to poke the goblin next to her with it. (Attacking Goblin Sneak 1: « 1d20 = 14 »)

Naralon:
« 1d4+1 = 3 + 1 = 4 »

Naralon:
*thwack*

Goblins:
The goblins in the barracks room knew things weren't going their way. They began to fall back through the corridors!

Goblins:
The other goblins, however, kept assaulting those that fought back the horde in the north corridor. 4 melee attacks on Zanorin and 3 spears taken from the goblins behind them.

Goblins:
« 1d20+2 = 10 + 2 = 12 »« 1d20+2 = 18 + 2 = 20 »« 1d20+2 = 14 + 2 = 16 »« 1d20+2 = 19 + 2 = 21 » « 1d20+3 = 17 + 3 = 20 »« 1d20+3 = 12 + 3 = 15 »« 1d20+3 = 4 + 3 = 7 »

Ivanika has received initiative.
Ivanika:
Iva steps a little closer, taking aim with her crossbow and firing another shot down the hallway.
Ivanika:
« d20+5 = 9 + 5 = 14 » at #16
Ivanika:
« d8+2 = 3 + 2 = 5 » (if that hits)

Goblins:
Misses!

Goblins:
Goblins are small and they're wearing armor!
Victor has received initiative.
* Victor Reede swings alongside Zanorin, looking to maim one of the many goblins assailing the eastern warrior. "Fall back, I'll cover you!" He assures. Trip attack! « 1d20+3 = 11 + 3 = 14 »
Ivanika:
Ivanika would prefer to not surrender their escape route
Victor Reede:
« 1d20+8 = 5 + 8 = 13 »

Goblins:
« 1d20 = 20 »
Victor Reede:
Cheating fucking goblins.))

Victor:
Who's flinging spears?))

Victor:
((I use Cunning Defense against each of them.))

Victor:
((End turn.))

Fellian Shard:
Fellian grumbled at the retreating goblins, sheathing his weapon once more and moving back for his bow. "The path is clouded. Make sure you do not over commit yourself! If you require assistance, fall back!"
Elisabetha has received initiative.
* Elisabetha turns her attention back to the goblins Zanorin was fighting since the others no longer wanted to play. « 1d20+5 = 18 + 5 = 23 »
Elisabetha: (( @ 17 ))

Fellian Shard:
Roll damage
Elisabetha:
« 2d6 = 7 »
Zanorin has received initiative.
Naralon has received initiative.
* Naralon glances at Fellian. "I'll go after her, just in case she needs help."
* Naralon takes off in the direction Shona went.
Zanorin:
Zanorin retreats moving back behind Ivanika. "I'll try and get back to the front as soon as i can Victor."

Naralon:
(End turn)
Ivanika:
Iva watches the migthy warrior hide behind her.

Goblins:
The goblins in the south-west, perhaps realizing they were being chased and would not easily escape, turned about and quickly formed up to assault their attacker! 3 attacks on Shona.

Goblins:
« 1d20+2 = 18 + 2 = 20 »« 1d20+2 = 3 + 2 = 5 »« 1d20+2 = 17 + 2 = 19 »

Goblins:
« 1d6 = 1 »« 1d6 = 5 »

Goblins:
The dead were quickly pushed aside as new goblins filled the ranks!

Victor:
Trip! « 1d20+3 = 15 + 3 = 18 »

Goblins:
« 1d20 = 13 »

Victor:
« 1d20+8 = 2 + 8 = 10 »

Goblins:

Goblins:
« 1d6 = 4 »
Shona has received initiative.
* Victor had forseen the threat of the javelineers, and positioned himself to most easily avoid their weapons. He brought his right arm up to hold off the swing of a sword, but the opening down low let a stab from another goblin get at his belly.

Goblins:
The goblins are wielding very crude looking morningstars, by the way; often just quickly assembled balls on sticks with spikey bits on them. Sometimes made of bone, sometimes wood.
Shona:
« 1d20+3 = 3 + 3 = 6 » « 1d20+3 = 20 + 3 = 23 »
Shona:
« 1d20+3 = 1 + 3 = 4 »
Shona:
« 1d6+2 = 2 + 2 = 4 »
Ivanika has received initiative.
Shona:
"Bitches. Please. You would surrender if you know what is good for you!"
Ivanika:
Iva does a double take as Zanorin flees behind her, but noticing his obvious wounds she begins to chant in a foreign tongue. As she prays she places her hand upon his shoulder, and soon her hand and eyes give off a soft golden glow as the warm healing of Pelor passes through his body. Cure Light Wounds: « D8+3 = 6 + 3 = 9 »
Ivanika:
She then takes a few steps back, passing Zanorin again and hoping to re-establish their front..
Victor has received initiative.
Ivanika:
She bumps into Elizabetha as she backs up, giving a quick startled turn.
* Victor shuffles his guisarme over to his right hand, dipping the other into a pouch on his waist as he begins to mutter a spell... Casting defensively, hope it works! « 1d20+3 = 15 + 3 = 18 »
* Elisabetha grumbles to the priestess. "I should just speak up. 'Hey, that sounds like a really bad idea.' But no, I never do. Instead I'm constantly blasting things into oblivion or getting surprised and hit over the head or stabbed through the stomach."
Ivanika:
"Zhat almost sounds like you are complainink..."
* Victor pulls a handful of multicolor sand from his component pouch, raising it to his lips. He utters the last word of the spell, blowing the sand in a kaleidoscope of colors towards the goblin onslaught. Color Spray!
Aeter:
« 1d20-1 = 3 - 1 = 2 »« 1d20-1 = 8 - 1 = 7 »« 1d20-1 = 10 - 1 = 9 »« 1d20-1 = 16 - 1 = 15 »« 1d20-1 = 5 - 1 = 4 »« 1d20-1 = 2 - 1 = 1 »
Aeter:
« 2d4 = 4 »« 1d4 = 1 »
* Victor smiles as the risk pays off, before taking advantage of the moment and running a safe distance back!

Naralon:
"Shona, it looks like they're in trouble. We should head back."
Victor has received initiative.
Shona:
"We kinda have two to deal with here!"

Fellian Shard:
Fellian continued his fire, aiming for the one in front! « 1d20+5 = 6 + 5 = 11 »

Fellian Shard:
Miss.
Elisabetha has received initiative.
* Elisabetha aims at the next goblin in line. "Keep coming! I can do this all day!" « 1d20+5 = 10 + 5 = 15 »

Fellian Shard:
Hit
Elisabetha:
[2d60
Elisabetha:
« 2d6 = 2 »
Zanorin has received initiative.
Elisabetha: (( I....I rolled a one. Twice. That's impressive. ))
Aeter:
« 2d60 = 59 »
Zanorin:
« 1d20+7 = 3 + 7 = 10 »
Naralon has received initiative.

Naralon:
"Shona, could you handle these by yourself for a moment?"
Shona:
"Sure. I got these guys."

Naralon:
"Be back in a flash!"
Shona:
Under her breath. "I hope."
* Naralon makes her way back to the main battle, and takes a look around. She concentrates her magic into a small area in the hallway further north. The ground splits open as shards of rubble and stone shake about. Suddenly, a massive smooth, stone wall the same color as the floor shoots up toward the ceiling, slowing down as it reaches the top, and covering the entire passageway. All illusionary, of course. (Silent Image)

Naralon:
"Alright, that should provide some cover for a little while at least!"
* Naralon turns back to the east where Shona is, preparing to rush back to her side. (End turn)

Goblins:
Closed off from their allies that all fell, the goblins began to break as their morale shattered. They fled, screaming in their high pitched tongue as they dashed down corridors and along passageways.

Goblins:
Those that were fighting Shona, however, still fought.

Goblins:
« 1d20+2 = 18 + 2 = 20 »« 1d20+2 = 19 + 2 = 21 »

Goblins:
« 1d6 = 1 »« 1d6 = 6 »
Elisabetha: (( That's a dead Shona. ))

Goblins:
Shona falls.
Shona has received initiative.
Shona:
« 1d10 = 10 »
Ivanika has received initiative.
Ivanika:
Iva sees Shona go down out of the corner of her eye and quickly turns, stepping quickly across the stone tiled foor, resting on a knee as she lays a hand on Shona and prays for Pelor's mercy, Cure Light Wounds: « d8+3 = 2 + 3 = 5 »
Victor has received initiative.

Victor:
((Can I coupe de grace with a gauntlet?))

Victor:
((ehh, screw it.))
* Victor starts punching the My Little Pony goblins.

Victor:
« 1d20+3 = 14 + 3 = 17 »

Victor:
« 1d2 = 1 »
Elisabetha: (( ...What? ))

Fellian Shard:
Fellian moved into the room after Ivanika, taking a clear shot at the GOblin 8 as it attacked around the doorway and sending an arrow flying over the fallen Shona to strike the goblin.
* Victor throws a mean haymaker at the dazed goblin.

Fellian Shard:
« 1d20+5 = 2 + 5 = 7 »
Elisabetha has received initiative.
Zanorin:
"Im guessing you have this covered Victor i think im gonna go help them."
* Elisabetha follows after the cute half-elf! "Where is it, let me at 'em!"
Elisabetha:
« 1d20+6 = 8 + 6 = 14 »

Fellian Shard:
Touches
Elisabetha:
« 2d6+1 = 7 + 1 = 8 »
Zanorin has received initiative.

Victor:
"Go ahead, I'll make sure this lot doesn't wake up." Victor clenches a gory mithril fist.
Zanorin:
« 1d20+5 = 1 + 5 = 6 » « 1d20+5 = 1 + 5 = 6 »
Naralon has received initiative.

Naralon:
"Good luck then, Victor!" she shouts before running back to Shona's aid.
* Naralon just focuses on concentrating the stone illusion in the hallway. (End turn)
Aeter:
The remaining goblins succeed in fleeing. Victor and Zanorin spend awhile slicing the throat and punching the face into the helpless goblins. COMBAT OVER.

Naralon:
"Tsk, tsk. I leave Shona alone for FIVE SECONDS! Yeesh!"
* Victor isn't evil for beating up helpless goblins. He's just thorough.
Ivanika:
Ivanika puts away her crossbow and breaths a sigh of relief, "Zhey are gone, for now at least, yes?"

Fellian Shard:
"Let's see what we can do to those that suffered the wear and tear of the path..." He stepped up to the fallen Shona, offering her his hand. "Come. Back to your feet." (Cure Light Wounds)

Naralon:
"Mmhmm! Well done, everyone."
Shona:
Shona stayed on the ground for a moment. Catching her breath.
* Elisabetha turns to stare at the gnome for the second time in the past hour. "You know...no. I'm not going to say it..." she waves a hand and walks back to the hallway. "You two alright down there?"

Fellian Shard:
« 1d8+2 = 8 + 2 = 10 »
* Naralon approaches one of the goblin bodies. Remembering the bounty offered by the guard captain, Naralon looks at the ears to confirm that there are iron earrings on them.
Aeter:
There are, indeed, iron rings!
* Naralon reaches down and yanks the ring off this goblin corpse.
Aeter:
If they are harvested, the party's current earring count is up to 12.
* Victor glances at his rather bloodied outer jacket with a frown.

Naralon:
"Don't forget to search the bodies, everyone! There's bounty to be had off these rings, remember!" she says, holding the ring up.

Victor:
"A bounty?"
Ivanika:
Iva stands up, straightening her hair and clothing, thankful to not have been so much as touched.
* Elisabetha follows Victor's gaze. "What...what did you do?" She makes a face.
Aeter:
The goblins had no treasure on their bodies aside from the small crude iron trinket, bone charm, ect.
Shona:
"Oh yeah. Earrings." Shona said from the ground.
* Naralon helps the party with the grim harvest, collecting the rings and pooling them together with the group.

Victor:
"Ah... I punched them." He coughs, crossing his arms to hide his hands.
* Elisabetha refuses to touch the iron rings.
* Naralon takes a sack and gathers the collected rings from anyone who chose to help, and stores it away for later.
Ivanika:
Iva is not exactly helping either!
Ivanika:
Such a grim task!
* Naralon collected them all by herself then!
* Naralon secretly plans on keeping a little finders fee for herself in that case. *grin*
* Elisabetha would like to point out that she killed quite a few of them and will come after the Gnome.
Aeter:
Drak'thar's way is open to the party. The goblins are alerted to the party's presence, however. Will they fight on? Will they continue down into the bowels of the earth beneath Cauldron and fight what force is behind the goblin threats... and if, beneath it all, there is an even worse force at work?
Aeter:
WE WILL FIND OUT NEXT TIME, ON DRAGON BALL ZEEEEE
Ginji is disconnected.
* Naralon pulls down the fourth wall as the episode concludes for a moment. "Watch as we bring the goblin complex down!"
Victor Reede is disconnected.
