The bard wandered over to take a closer look at the remains of the statue. "This is amazing! There must be a quarry nearby, but the manpower this must have taken to construct... or magic," with a sideways glance at the kneeling cleric he added, "...or divinity..."

Legend Lore: Harald rolled 2 using 2d6.  Legend Lore, 2 in 6 chance.

Harald caught a hint of verse with the ode at sunset. But as he begins plucking the chords looking for a full but forgotten song it was attached to...

[PLEASE ROLL PARTY INITIATIVE]

In reply to DM (msg # 34):

10:19, Today: Brother Brodd rolled 6 using 1d6.  initiative.

Scrabbling sounds and a crumbling chunk of marble clattering down the ankle of the left sandal (facing east) gives you a critical second to react as vague silhouettes of goblins line up above the party, their row of spears lowering to aim...

Brodd raises his shield overhead, "Goblins from above!" he shouts in warning to the others and grabs his club!

Creston wastes no time getting an arrow nocked, drawn and pointed at the Goblins.

"I see the Sandals are already filled with Goblins."

Alietra grabs her shortbow and readies an arrow, aiming at the goblins.  She scans the silhouettes, attempting to estimate the number of goblins before her.

Leo makes sure we aren't surrounded and moves to the rear,staff at the ready.

Jarvak readies his sling.

"Who speaks Goblin here? Ask them if they found the scout! Tell them I'll pay for him! More if he's alive!"

In reply to Jarvak Amendola (msg # 41):

Brodd shakes his head, he does not speak goblin.

Dwargar raises a hand to the side of his mouth and shouts a gutteral tongue at the goblins.

There's a consternation as a couple of them argue then shout back. The dwarf turns to the bounty hunter.

"They said.."

12:25, Today: DM rolled 10,8,15,1,7,15 using d20,d20,d20,d20,d20,d20.  rain of spears.

12:28, Today: DM rolled 3,2 using d6,d6.  spear damage.

Dwarghar stops in mid sentence as a pair of spearheads bite into his shoulders.

Also there's a scream from above as an unbalanced goblin tumbles to his death and crumples on the base of the sandal. His spear lands point-up a second later and clatters to the flat marble.

Leo will wait for the group of goblins to get within 40' and hopes to cast "Sleep".

Pock, readying his bow, avers a short "Please, don't kill us!" on the off-chance these goblins speak the kobold language. Then he begins loosing arrows if he can see any goblins--or even if he can't, wagering that arrows whizzing overhead might convince them to refrain from peaking out to hurl more spears.

OOC: "13:47, Today: Pock Oneshoe rolled 20,1,19,4 using 1d20,1d6,1d20,1d6.  prospective attack + damage, rounds 1-2."

[DM: Only one shot at a time. The first attack was critical for a solid 6 points]

"Find us cover!" Regdoc barked (heh) at his dog. Looking toward the opposite sandal from whence the goblins appeared, Regdoc and Chomper scrambled. Then, from whatever cover they'd found, the old cleric attempted to sling a stone, perhaps more in defiance than danger to the goblins...

Move toward cover
Attack (Sling): Regdoc rolled 19 (20) to Crit! for 2 damage (min 1 x 2 for crit). ::eyeroll::

[DM: Critical hit for a solid 4 points of sling damage]

Harald, realizing the wisdom displayed by the old cleric, followed suit and headed for cover from the goblin's spears, spit and whatever else the little monsters might project his way!

"Shame we don't have Travis here now! His bow would sure have proven useful!" the bard declared as he donated an arrow from his own bow...


Move: Follow Regdoc to cover
Attack (Bow): Harald rolled 5 to miss!

Seeing the others take cover, Leohart will follow suit.

Alietra also moves towards anything which will cover her small frame, only after unleashing one of her own arrows.


Move: Towards cover
14:57, Today: Alietra rolled 7 using 1d20+1.  Short bow attack.

As she moves towards cover, quietly hopes that no one saw her poorly aimed arrow,and vows to make the next one count.

In reply to Alietra (msg # 49):

09:41, Today: Brother Brodd rolled 1 using 1d20.  to hit.

Brodd misses the goblin he slung at, hits a rock and gets a 'stinger' so bad he drops his sling!

[DM: Club? Do you mean sling?]

Okay, that high up.

Creston lets loose his arrow, then runs for higher ground, not stopping until he can get the angle on the Goblins.

((07:29, Today: Creston Fairwood rolled 22,5 using d6+3,d6.  Bow shot.))

22

Einhard raises his shield high and moves toward the sandal to look for a path to climb or circle around to the goblins location. "Cowards!" he called out to the troublesome runts above. "I'm coming for you, so you better run now while you can."

Starshell raises her shield to protect her tutor, the old wizard Catweazel.

The bounty hunter hurls a slingstone up at the goblins, but the stone falls short.

12:06, Today: Jarvak Amendola rolled 12,2 using d20+2,d4 ((10,2)).

Three goblins scream as they fall to their deaths down the side of the colossal foot.
