With a surly oath, the big warrior shows just how quickly he can move as he leaps out towards the goblin who is currently creeping from under the table.  Garth's dagger, stabbing outwards towards the spindly thing's throat!

Talis stared at the goblin for a moment, wondering if the thing was still alive, as he watched droplets of the creatures blood fall to the dirt. He would later curse his inattentiveness, as a burning sensation came across his ribs. Turning in surprise, he realized that one of the goblins allies was looking to avenge the fallen comrade. Or perhaps, that was just the human in him rationalizing the goblins actions. In any case, Talis was no pacifist, even against an enemy he thought might be justified. Still though, in these close quarters, his sword seemed at a disadvantage.

  Catessa is slow to react, having been surprised by the sudden turn of event.  She dares not throw away her spear, in case she misses or another goblin comes after her.  So she can only draw and load her sling while she looks around for a suitable target.

Glum nodded and said, "Someone's going to pay.  It's you".  With that he moved forward in a blurr of motion as he aimed fists and feet at the first goblin he came to[Private to DM:  [goblin 4]].  His fist was easy for the goblin to avoid, but his foot caught the goblin straight in the face.

[Private to DM: [Adjustment as follows... Glum's usual to hit = d20 straight.  +1 because he's a dwarf fighting a goblin, -2 because he's using a flurry of blows. I forgot to do the -1 because goblins are small but would still be 18. Natural 20 makes critical possible. If it's critical then damage is doubled to 12]]

Zer-wedula faces the unarmed goblin.  "Have at!' he cried, swinging a roundhouse punch at the goblin.

07:54, Today: Zer-wedula rolled 13 using 1d20. punching goblin.

<be sure to include hits, dam, and all other rolls you need in 1 post.  If you don't I will roll it for you.
Be sure to track your hp on your character sheet
Your voice colors match your dot colors and goblins are;
blue  if active
black if down
gray  if out of sight>

Tactical situation
Zer-wedula are 30'N of the goblin1, next to 2 and 30'E of 5
Talis is in melee with 5, 30'W of 2
Naomi, Catessa, and Garth are 40'SE of 2, 20'E of 1, 25'N of 3 and 4
Glum is 15'N of 3 and 4, 35'E of goblin2, 25'E of 1

There are people, tables and chairs scattered everywhere except for a 30' radius around the goblins, so for the most part the crowds are no longer a factor.

Round 1
Naomishoots Goblin4.  On the table he is an easy target and she hits, doing 2 dam.  The nasty creature is hurt, but keeps going.

Zer-wedula shows great bravery and punches goblin2, hitting the goblins armor and doing no apparent dam, but your show of spirit frightens the cowardly thing.
[Private to Zer-wedula: Missed by 1, You could have taken a 5' step and cast a spell, but punching a goblin was very cinematic, kudos.  Also, you run your familiar.]

Catessa draws and loads sling, moves 5'NW so she can see Glum.
[Private to Catessa Fallowfield: You needed to move at least 5' to see Glums fight, see map)]

Glum carefully moves forward 10' and attacks goblin4 on the table, who nimbly skips over the blow.
[Private to Glum: Flurry of Blows requires a full round action (meaning maximum of 5' move, You had to move10', so 1 attack is all you can make.  Your 1st attack misses.  However, save that natural 20 and 12dam, that will be your next attack, next round]

Garth moves forward, but goblin1 was ready for him and slashes out with his dogslicer, hitting Garth on the arm for 2 dam <readied action>.  But he overextends in his eagerness for blood, leaving his throat exposed.  Garth stabs into the goblin1s throat, leaving a huge gash that gushes blood,  crit=12 dam.  And he thought he as safe under his table.
[Private to Garth Oakenshield: I don't see a confirmation roll for the threat, so I rolled for you- confirmed and the 6 must be before the crit (you can't get 6 on (1d4+3)x2]


Now that the crowds have had time to run, there are 30' radius clear areas around the goblins and you can see them clearly.  They are wearing nasty looking leathers and carrying makeshift blades called dogslicers (basically poor daggers).  Confusion is rampant, with crys and screams coming from all over and no sight of any guards.  It looks like you are the only ones between these goblins and many unarmed people.  The goblin song is more distinct now, and Glum hears the 2 he's fighting singing along; <yes, goblin bardic music>

Goblins chew and goblins bite.
Goblins cut and goblins fight.
Stab the dog and cut the horse,
Goblins eat and take by force!

Goblins race and goblins jump.
Goblins slash and goblins bump.
Burn the skin and mash the head,
Goblins here and you be dead!

Chase the baby, catch the pup.
Bonk the head to shut it up.
Bones be cracked, flesh be stewed,
We be goblins! You be food!


Round 2
Talis misses goblin 5 from the pain of his injury

Goblin2 - runs south, screaming and flailing his hands, sees Garth killing his cousin and runs around the corner of the building behind the cart and out of sight(full concealment).  The screaming ceases.  Unsettling how goblins can go go silent so quickly.

Goblin3 - waves his leg at goblin4 (as if to say, "mine", but his mouth is full of food), and then duck down under the table(hard cover).

Goblin4 - attacks the dwarf from the high ground(+1 to hit) and misses.

Goblin5 -   Muttering along with the song, he hits Talis for 2 dam (Talis is at 0hp, disabled but conscious and mobile- may take 1 move action, any more and you take 1 dam and collapse)


Tactical situation
Zer-wedula is 30'E of goblin5
Talis(at 0hp) is in melee with goblin5
Naomi is 25'N of goblin3 and goblin4
Catessa is 30'N of goblin3 and goblin4
Garth is 30'N of goblin3 and goblin4, at least 15'E of goblin2(out of sight)
Glum is in melee with goblin3 and goblin4

There are people, tables and chairs scattered everywhere except for a 30' radius around the goblins, so for the most part the crowds are no longer a factor.  Confusion is still rampant, and you still hear screams in the distance.  You are beginning to smell smoke.

In reply to DM (msg #58):

[Private to DM: Sorry about that, I had origionally put down a 12 total but then I thought perhaps the crit double damage did not include strength bonus x2 so I knocked my damage down to 9 adding in strength damage only once.  I haven't played 3.5 in many years as I switched back to 1st edition a while back so I'll try to get my rolls right next time.  Feel free of course to continue correcting my mistakes when you see them as I try not to repeat but learn from these instances;)]

   Everyone engages the goblins so fast that Cat has trouble choosing a target.  She decides to aid Glum, but he is everywhere, and Cat fumbles and drops the sling before she can make a shot.  Cursing to herself, she decides it is best to engage at close range.  But she has trouble pulling out the spear, and so isn't ready to move into position.

(I realize I run the weasel but if she gets squished.....:()

Zer-wedula smiles a humorless smile and with a moment to plan contemplates his spell selection.  Then he spies a goblin readying a blow to finish the man from the ship.  What was his name....Target?

Narrowing his eyes, Zer-wedula casts Daze, hoping to save the man.

Glum continued the fight, whirling around in a blur of motion as foot and fist and elbows strike out at the goblins before him.  He thumps one goblin in the face and then aims a kick at him, but by the time he aims the kick, the goblin has already fallen over.

[Private to DM: Saved natural 20 and 12 damage for first blow]

Round 2
Naomishoots at Goblin4.  This time her aim is high and the energy goes harmlessly by.
[Private to Naomi Armastance: You see golin2, sneak from the cart to the table in the middle where goblin1 died.]

Zer-wedula sees that Talis is in trouble and casts a spell at goblin5, who now seems to be having problems deciding what to do, but is still aware of his surroundings (dazed; take no actions, has no penalty to AC.)
[Private to Zer-wedula: You see golin2, sneak from the cart to the table in the middle where goblin1 died.  What is Willi's SOP in combat?]

Catessa shoots her sling at Goblin3.  Her aim is off and the stone goes sailing by harmlessly, time for spear work.
[Private to Catessa Fallowfield: You will need to drop the sling (free action) to properly use the spear as it is a 2 handed weapon]

Glum hits goblin3 under the table with a well placed kick, crit 12dam), which takes the giggling thing by surprise,  Goblin3 collapses twitching to the ground with a solid thud.  Glum continues the attack on goblin4, but again the goblin avoids the blow.
[Private to Glum: ]

Garth runs N, where a halfelf is casting a spell to Garths left behind the building.  As he rounds the corner he sees a Chelaxian wielding a great sword in melee with goblin5 (though the goblin looks like it is having trouble deciding what to do).  There is already 1 goblin down with a pool of blood under it.  The Chelaxian looks to be at the point of collapse.  You rush up and engage goblin5.
[Private to Garth Oakenshield: double move this round, just use the same roll next round]


Round 3
Talis is barely conscious from the pain of his injury and this goblin hasn't even been touched.  But then, goblin5 starts behaving oddly, as if it couldn't focus or something.  And then a big Varisian with a dagger comes around the corner and rushes up to the battle.  Taking this chance, you move 30'E near the halfelf from the ship, Zer-wedula.

Goblin2 - generally unknonwn

Goblin4 - attacks the dwarf from the high ground(+1 to hit) and misses again.  "Stinky dwarf"

Goblin5 -   Dazed, no action


Tactical situation
Zer-wedula is 30'E of goblin5
Talis(at 0hp) is 30'E of goblin5
Naomi is 25'N of goblin4
Catessa is 30'N of goblin4 and 45'SE of Talis
Garth is 30'W of Talis/Zer-wedula, in melee with goblin5
Glum is in melee with goblin4



The crowds are starting to thin as people are finding ways around the pockets of fighting, but they still make a barrier about 40' from the fight. Confusion is still rampant, and you still hear screams in the distance.  You are beginning to smell smoke.

  Cat decides to help out Glum.  She yells "I'm coming, Glum" as she levels her spear at the goblin next to him.  She runs at the goblin, trying to skewer it.  She tells Glum "Try to get around it so we can come at it from both sides.  And hopefully prevent its escape."

Zer-wedula spares the time to nod to the wounded man.

Gesturing quickly, he casts Flare on the goblin on the table.  Even if it doesn't faze the creature, it might draw the ire of the locals on it, hopefully in the form of a bucket of molten lead.

"I am Zer-wedula, friend.  What is your name?" he then asks.

[Private to GM: If you mean Standard operating procedure it is to hide in Zer-wedula's pocket]

"OH NO YOU DON'T!!!"  Naomi shouts flinging a lance of energy at the goblin attempting to sneak around. (G2)

Round 3
Naomi shoots Goblin2 and misses again.
[Private to Naomi Armastance: I feel for you. I once spent an entire combat missing by 1 point, arghh.]

Zer-wedula casts a spell at goblin2 who had quietly moved into position under the middle table and had armed himself with goblin1's dogslicer.  As a bright light bursts in his face, goblin2 starts rubbing his eyes with his off hand (Dazzled:  –1 penalty on attack rolls, Search checks, and Spot checks), it also serves to alert everyone to goblin2s location, in the middle under the table.
[Private to Zer-wedula: What is Willi's SOP in combat?]

Catessa charges goblin4 while yelling at Glum , "I'm coming, Glum" .  But wily goblin4 is just as adept at avoiding her blows and she misses.
[Private to Catessa Fallowfield: Ok, I stand corrected, well technically I am sitting.. .Next round Glum can 5' adjust again and flank]

Glum tries to pull goblin4s legs out from under him, but again the slippery goblin avoids his attack.  Glum adjusts 5'S to the end of the table.
[Private to Glum: "1d20-2" I think you left the -2 from last rounds flurry on by accident.  Next round you can 5' adjust again and flank with Catessa]

Garth attacks goblin5 who is almost quick enough to avoid the dagger, almost.  It catches him in the gut, punching through the leather with ease and drops him with 6 dam.  Goblin5 slumps to the ground, senseless from the pain and bleeding profusely from the wound.  Garth looks around for more threats, but none immediately present themselves.
[Private to Garth Oakenshield: Since you didn't specify, I had your other action, is to look around for an ambush.]


A Chelaxian female in clerical vestments comes out of the cathedral and looks at Talis, then carefully looks around.  She has a crossbow.

Round 4
Talis sees Zer-wedula light up goblin2.  So he moves 5'W, putting the building between himself and goblin2 and hopes he wasn't seen.  As goblin2 goes by he takes an AoO, suffers 1 dam and collapses at -1hp.

Goblin2 - Charges (-2ac)to Zer-wedula, "Got new doglicer, slice you good longshanks".  But runs right by Talis who swings and sweeps goblin2 at the knees, 6 dam.  The goblin falls to the ground and his head hits the ground hard, just before Talis joins him on the ground.

Goblin4 - neatly avoiding both AoO from Glum and Catessa, hissing "can't catch me stinky" goblin4 moves 10'SE toward the building, when a tiny dog comes around the corner and starts barking at him.  Startled, goblin4 slashes at the dog, and misses "nasty dog, I eat you".  The dog backs off, still barking.

Tactical situation
Zer-wedula is 65' from goblin4
Talis(at -1hp), bleeding
Naomi is 30'N of  goblin4
Catessa is 5''NW of goblin4
Garth is 30'W of Zer-wedula
Glum is 15'W of goblin4

Chaos has engulfed Sandpoint. Goblins race everywhere, running amok and singing and slashing indiscriminately.  You now definitely smell smoke, but see just thin tendrils rising into the air.

Round 4
Naomi concentrates.... and shoots.  Bam, Goblin4 gets hit for 5 dam and goes down.
[Private to Zer-wedula: Now that you can pause and observe, that female gnome who just "cast" that bolt of energy, has a style you have ever seen before.]

Everyone takes stock and looks around.  While chaos still has Sandpoint in it's grip, with goblins everywhere, there is no immediate threat and you do see a man down.

The Chelaxian female in clerical vestments and crossbow starts moving toward Talis.

Garth stalks warily amongst the tables, stooping now and then to look beneath them as he seeks out any more goblins or wounded who may need his immediate help.

<I have deleted or incorporated the unnecessary combat posts;
What are you going to?>

The big warrior now seems to show worry for his little comrades as he calls out to them, "Naomi! Catessa! Glum!  Little one's, are you hurt!"

"I'm fine thank you", called Glum, "But there's a man down over there."  He points at Talis.

Then he turns around to survey the waiting crowd.  He shrugs and reluctantly climbs onto the table where one of the goblins took the higher ground.  "Ladies and Gentlemen", he exhorts loudly.  "If I may have your attention please?  Thank you.  I'd be grateful if you could point out any casualties or remaining goblins in the immediate vicinity.  If you help with this, then we can get the situation sorted all the quicker.  Thank you and enjoy the rest of the festival."

Zer-wedula pulls his robe pocket open and looks in to see how Willi is doing.  She pops up and sticks her head out, nose wiggling, seemingly unfazed by the recent melee.

He then walks over to the downed acquaintance and bends down to provide what little help his skills enable.

"I am Zer-wedula," he tells the cleric as she approaches.  "This man came over on the ship from Riddleport with me.  Can you help him?"
