II. Battle on the Hill

Seeing Rebeccah take an arrow to her chest, Deniv nearly cries out.  But, he instead chooses to move to one of the orc bodies to find a dagger or other two.  If necessary, he will run over to the goblin bodies to do the same.
Once he has his commandeered daggers, he climbs his way up the hill to go after the closest goblin by attempting to stab him in the back.  Unfortunately, between his injury and the stress of the situation, his strike goes short and wide.

18:54, Today: Daniv Jensen rolled 6 using 1d20.  Dagger strike.

Kerkrin moves quickly to Rebeccah's side, using her cloak to staunch the bleeding and trying to keep her awake. His voice is low, speaking dwarven, with the occasional injection in common to the girl to keep her attention.

II. Battle on the Hill

Behind the boulder, which he didn't get to move in the previous round,
Jory picks up the broadsword of the pirate and gets ready to attack the goblin as soon as they get near.
He'll jump sideways out of hiding when he hears them getting close, and then moves towards the closest one, hoping to surprise him with a nasty swing of the broadsword.

OOC: Surprise attack with broadsword: Strength 18/30 gives +1 to hit, +3 to damage.
not proficient with broadsword: -4 to hit
16:25, Today: Jory Ranglore rolled 9 using 2d4+3.  damage with broadsword.
16:25, Today: Jory Ranglore rolled -2 using 1d20-3.  To hit roll with broadsword, +1 -4.

Desperate now with Rebeccah hit and down, Lam tries one more time to push the boulder down upon the Goblins but alas to his disappointment the boulder did not budge.

18:18, Today: Lam Durus rolled 5 using 1d6.  boulder rolller.


Laying there a moment more, Lam prepares to jump out at the goblins with his improvised cub.

II. Battle on the Hill

(Daniv, the goblin archer is on the other side of the ravine from the bodies.  You would be very obvious to the archer.)

Regardless of what Daniv does, the old man keeps moving up the hill to his rescuers.  The party push at the boulders, but nothing is moving.  Jory strikes out at an approaching goblin spearman, but his awkward swings miss.  Kerkrin does what he can for Rebeccah, but she is going to need a healer.  Edward steps up and staunches the wound.  Rebeccah is stable but still unconscious.

The goblins attack as they reach the top, but fail to hit either of their targets.  The archer fires an arrow at Lam that sails over his head.

(New actions!)

Jory was fighting with the broadsword against a goblin spear fighter.

14:15, Today: Jory Ranglore rolled 8 using 2d4+3.  damage with broadsword.

In reply to Rebeccah (msg # 69):

Sal, not much in the way of brute strength, moves to help his new friend Rebeccah.
Assessing the situation, not very good in the healing or faith department, either, he simply makes sure Rebeccah isn't pouring out blood.
"Hold still. I cant push boulders over, so you are stuck with me for now.  I do know dont pull the arrow out, unless you have a way to stop the bleeding.  It is better left in for now, until someone more qualified can check on you."

Looking around to see what everyone is doing, and find someone with an ounce of bandaging ability.
"Anyone, help!"

In reply to Sal Warth (msg # 70):

Lam rushes out to attack a Goblin that reached the top of the hill in an attempt to block them from reaching those helping Rebeccah but not being very experienced with swinging the large piece of wood he acquired from the wreckage intentionally at someone he missed so badly he splattered the ground beside him soaking all around him in mud.

Gah!!, Oh crud! Be gone little Gob!!

11:10, Today: Lam Durus rolled -2 using 1d20-4.  attack Goblin.

Jory atrikes with his broadsword, taking the head clean off the goblin's body.  Edward hits the other goblin upside the head, killing it.  The goblin archer decides dead companions and an old man aren't worth fighting for and turns to run.

Jory yells "Chakka!" in victory over the goblin and starts to search its pockets for food, drink or valuables.
"We should look around for the cave or shelter where these gobelins lived,  before they ran into the orcs!"

Looking at Rebecca

Starting to search the goblin & orc bodies for a dagger, or some weapon and anything useful.

"I have been down and out before, but not owning a thing is really for the dogs!"
Lets search quickly and get out of here.  Don't want more Goblins or Orcs visiting us, unannounced!"

II. Battle on the Hill

Despite his inability to strike the fleeing goblin and Rebeccah's injury, Deniv actually feels almost good about their victory.  He begins to collect weapons, cloaks, belts, equipment and supplies, and clothing from the orcs and goblins.  It may not be in the best condition, but at least the rain will help to make it a bit cleaner.
How is Rebeccah doing?  He himself is still injured, and he can feel his wound bleeding a bit from being reopened slightly.

(Nice!)

Kerkrin puts a bolt right between the goblin's shoulder blades.  It's dead before it hits the ground.

The old man grabs Lam's hand and shakes it vigorously.  "Thank you, oh thank you very much!

"My name — haven’t needed it in a long time — is Keestake, and you’re the first human faces I’ve seen in more years than I can remember. It’s true.  And you wouldn’t know it to look at me now, but in my day, in my day, I was personal
groom to himself — to Viledel, the Sea King. Yes, this is the Island of Viledel — you didn’t know that?

"But himself died when the pirates crushed the island, years and years ago, when my hair was still black and my face unlined. I didn’t fight on the day the pirates came, just hid in an overturned, ruined boat no one looked under, while the murdering and the burning went on day after day. And finally the pirates were all gone, and I’ve been here  alone since then.  Living in the house of the Sea King, protecting the treasure left behind — for the pirates never  found the real goods of Viledel, just some of the trinkets and baubles kept in the manor—and becoming tired and gray. How long has it been?

"The orcs came a few days ago. They captured me, and said the stories said that the treasure of the Sea King had never been found, which was true enough, I guess.  And they said I knew where it was, which was true, too, but I never told them so.

"The goblins came two days ago. The orc chief and the goblin chief talked, and the goblin chief said they were there to claim the island as their new stronghold, but the orc said they were there for the treasure too, and as soon as he said it the goblins wanted the goods, and there’s been war ever since.

"The orcs are all set up in the old soldiers’ barracks, and the goblins are all in the old stables, and the manor in the middle is where they hunt around for treasure and fight one another most of the time. But there’s another place, where they went once but leave alone now — the temple of the goddess. It’s on the far side of the hill overlooking the manor, and if you and your friends want to take shelter there, no one will bother with you."

Rebeccah is stable but unconscious.  The only thing to be done for her now is to keep her wound clean and some rest.

(I'll have a loot list for you all later on.)

"Glad we stumbled on you, while you were still alive.  Goblins and Orc's can be slaughterous creatures."
Looking at Rebeccah, then to Lam. In a quiet tone.

"Lam, what do you think?  Do we trust him, and bring his with us?  It wouldn't be safe for him out here, alone, plus the more the merrier."

In reply to Sal Warth (msg # 84):

Lam helps the old man up, Keestake is it, Lam is my name.   Island of Viledel interesting yea never heard of it but wow that is a tall tale to be told Sea king and all and softly chuckles always treasure to be had too. Smiles to shake any fear out of the old man.  No we have become stranded, the um ship we sailed upon ran aground on the shoal reefs just out beyond the island from this storm - and points somewhat in the direction - that way.  Lucky for you we came this way looking for shelter.

Ah, Orcs and Goblins after the same thing, nasty beasts.  Sighs, I hope they kill each other off before too long.  (Lam avoids mentioning Keestake hiding from the pirates.)

Listening to the description of the manor area.  True that would be a great place to take refuge for now at the temple of the goddess.  You can help guide us there right?

Looks up as the rest of the group return from looting.  Grins at Kerkrin great you got the last one so none got away.

This is Keestake, he has a place we can seek shelter at but we also have more Orcs and goblins on this island, the Island of Viledel (and recounts Keestake's tale).

As Lam picks at the loot looking for what he could use he whispers back to Sal,We have to trust him for now, but keep an eye on him too

I'll help carry Rebbecah,  Keestake you read to ead us to the temple of the goddess?

Keestake shakes his head in the affirmative with a near toothless grin.  "Yes, yes!  The goddess will welcome you, I think.  Orcs tried to loot it some days ago and angered her.  She's still angry.  Orcs won't bother us there."  The old man leads the group across the terrain, keeping a quick pace.  He sticks to old trails with scrub for cover as much as possible.  There is no doubt that there are more orc and goblin patrols on the island.  As the group emerges from a small copse of trees, Keestake says, "we're here."

Kerkin takes two thin bladed daggers, that and the crossbow are enough of a handful.  "I'd rather be cold than ta wear a goblin's clothes."
