In reply to Eron Windblade (msg # 85):

Well, at least you hear the grinding of gears just above the stairs on the roof level. And the door is open. (On Manaku's side as well.)

The mule clops over and licks the wizard's face.

In reply to DM (msg # 87):

Thud shoulders his bow, then draws his short sword to use with his shield. Pushing the deceased goblin out of the way, thud carefully advances, listening and anticipating another attack.

In reply to DM (msg # 87):

“Oh, there you are, girl! All well and unharmed, as you should be. Good, good!” Sasar gently strokes the mule. Only then he pays more attention to the surroundings, noticing the party members he can see.

“Brodd? Regdoc? Are we clear? Is is safe?”

He throws sharp glances at the direction of the new people he hasn't seen before, unsure if they are friends or foes.

Outside you hear Stormbinder shouting about his spellbook, and his voice trails off through the burning fields.

With growing horror you realize the ash-covered form dropped down the chimney is that of Einhard!

Great sword in hand and ready Amalrik follows the pixie up the stairs looking for a target to unleash his furry on.

Einhard groans as he crawls out of the fireplace and back to his feet.

Manaku is going to open the doors (if there are) that brings to the roof, and if an enemy is spotted he'll shoot an arrow on this one!

13:51, Today: Manaku rolled 16, 6 using 1d20+2,1d6

And he will move on his right, always facing the crane, so the magic shield will protect him.

Ooc:open the door, shoot the enemy, go on his right facing the enemy.

Einhard groans as he crawls out of the fireplace and back to his feet.

Fearing the worst Brodd rushes over to the fallen man.  To see the knight plucked right off the horse by that golem-like thing ... he had certainly feared the worst.  "M`lord let me help you stand," Brodd offers.

Once it seemed clear that Einhard was not needing further aid, Brodd tries to assess the situation and delegates as well as he can:

"If the fire is bad we`re in danger in here, we need to get to the roof to find a way down on the far side, or we need to find a back door."

He can`t offer anything for the mule, it would have to be safe inside.

The other option was to find a way down into the cellars - Brodd assumes a winery would have extensive cellars for bottle storate - but there was no guarantee there was an exit from them.  In fact, he`d guess there wasn`t.

"First though, the roof!"

The goblin had already pushed the door open. The elf races up the stairs. The air is thick with smoke and the crimson glow from the ground tinges everything. The giant crane looms before Manaku, a thunderous monstrosity of lumber and wrought iron gears!

At the base, he sees a skull with beady red eyes staring back at him through a slat in the boards. Manaku lets loose his arrow, and a century of practice in hunting birds in flight guides it through  the space.

<Goblin> "GAH! YOU NOTCH ME EAR! YOU PAY FOR DAT!"

A massive iron claw that suspended over the chimney from where it dropped the knight begins to rise and swing over the elf...

[NOTE: To hit the goblin in the cab requires a missile strike of AC 2[16]]

In reply to DM (msg # 96):

Thud seeing the monsterous crane structure with the skull, quickly arms his sling with a bullett. Then throws the bullet with the sling toward the red eyes of the skull.

20:37, Today: Thud rolled 8 using 1d20+2 ((6)). (the dice hate me)

Eron pulls a small pixie spear out, takes careful aim and lets it lose.  It flies amazingly through the narrow opening in the monstrous contraption, but is weakly thrown and barely grazes the goblin.

05:49, Today: Eron Windblade rolled 0 using 1d4-1.  damage.
05:49, Today: Eron Windblade rolled 18 using 1d20+3.  spear attack.

Thud's bullet makes a dull *THUD* against the planks.



<goblin>"OI! WHO GROW DE MOSQUITOS SO DAMN BIG?"

There is a pause...

<Common>"AIGHT, STOPPIN' DE POKEYS! ME SURRENDER!"

The crane lurches to a halt, the crane's massive claw dropping and stopping barely a yard over where the elf stood!

“My goodness,  we’re going to burn alive! Angie, wait here – I’ll be right back!”

Sasar leaves his mule for a moment and moves to check the doorway towards west (A5). He scans the room for an exit, stairs or anything which might be useful in the current situation.

“This is a winery. There must be a cellar or storage below ground level. If we could find the exit down below, perhaps we could go there and just wait until the flames die? I’d prefer finding a back door, though...”

[Roll D6 to search for secret doors.]

His own eyes beginning to burn from the accumulation of smoke, Regdoc agreed with his elderly companion. "Take it easy Sasar, you were on the shady side of dead only moments ago. But yes, any further protection at this point would be well for us!"

Assist Sasar in secrety secreeets: Regdoc rolled 3

Following Manaku out the door, Amalrik looks for the nearest goblin to strike with his sword missing it.


OOC: 18:37, Today: Amalrik rolled 11 using 1d20+3.  attack.

05:20, Today: Iffy rolled 5 using 1d6 ((5)).
05:19, Today: Iffy rolled 14,2 using 1d20-1,1d6 ((15,2)).
Firing at the cab goblin.  Cabgoblin.

Part-surprised at things and part-trying to ready her acquired cross bow, Iffy soon proves that she is all about making sure those gods-forsaken goblins have as little success as possible doing...whatever it is their budget grey matter in their heads is telling them to do.

Since Sasar said out loud that he was looking for a trap door, Creston will help him look for it.

((Creston Fairwood rolled 3 using 1d6.  secret doors.))

The only goblin on the roof is in the cab.

<Common> “Hey! Call off your ogre! I no come out to you put you weapons down, got it long legs?”

In reply to Iffy (msg # 104):

[Iffy, you’re not on the roof level. You can keep your roll but hit the right goblin :D]

In reply to DM (msg # 107):

(O.O.C - If there is only one Goblin on the roof and no other enemy, AND if the "cab" is made of wood, Thud will do the following :   )

Thud reaches into his back pack, and pulls out his tinder box, and will attempt to set light to the "cab", trying to ensure that the Goblin cannot stab or hit him with anything.

Dex roll 18:22, Today: Thud rolled 5 using 1d20+2 ((3)).    (this dice roller is suss)

"Im not putting my weapon down ! besides its chilly up here, let me warm things up for you."

In reply to Thud (msg # 108):

A pair of beady eyes peers down at the halfling through the planks.

“Hey short legs! ” The goblin wiggles their fingers.

[Thud, Save vs. Spells!]

In reply to DM (msg # 109):

18:50, Today: Thud rolled 6 using 1d20+4.  (save vs spells) (another high role ? )

Thud attempts to get his little fire started, and keep the little Goblin warm.
