Yaotl, not quite seeing danger too apparent, intends to step up to S10 and block to exit path if the goblin decides to flee. If it still stands then she plans on slinging another stone at the beast of Q7.

She rolls an initiative of 22 total.

Initiative & Actions, Round #2

Althiof Morad            -
Korkas Stonedelver       -
Stormrider Truesight     -

Yaotl Chimalma           - 22 (Moves to S10 to block Path. Staff-Sling Attack.)
Ali Ansari               -

Althiof Morad rolled 5 using 1d10 with rolls of 5.  init (no weapons).

The wizard — encouraged by the battle's progress — made his way deeper into the cavern in order to rule out any goblins who may have been lying-in-wait.

OOC: I fumbled last round, looks like you missed it or attributed it to another. So I miss this turn?

IF not then:
11:31, Today: Secret Roll: Korkas Stonedelver rolled 9 using 1d10+2 with rolls of 7.  Init with Daggers.

11:31, Today: Secret Roll: Korkas Stonedelver rolled 19,7 using d20+3,d4+4 with rolls of 16,3.  Attack Prime Hand.


Fumble on Second attack (seriously..)
11:32, Today: Secret Roll: Korkas Stonedelver rolled 2,6 using d20+1,d4+4 with rolls of 1,2.

I did miss that Korkas, sorry about that, So yes since we are using Fumbles and it goes both ways, you will loose your next turn. Sorry man!. Lets do this though, If you fumble on your Primary attack, you suffer fumble rules. If you fumble on your secondary attack, you do not suffer fumble rules. This will apply for everyone that uses two attacks.

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 139):

Sounds good. So I do nothing this round but recover from my fumble.


Korkas's last lunge had proven to far, the slippery planks crossing the small bridge that crossed the creek caused his footing to miss, almost slid passed the goblin into the water, he was able to keep himself from falling in but the goblin was able to land a solid blow upon him. He gathered his footing as he prepared for another attack from the goblin.

Virius moves down and around the corner. And is faced with three Goblins, another Worg and a Hobgoblin, who looks to be in command!. The cavern also has an assortment of stolen crates, barrels, and other stuff strewn about the ground. You can also clearly see a book resting on one of the crates. Spugonior's Spellbook, from the description he gave you!

You drop your sleep spell, luckily for you you are able to swiftly cast your spell before anyone else has a chance to go. Your sleep spell can catch all of them together. Three of the Goblins fall to sleep, as does the Worg. The Hobgoblin looks to be a Chief, and is now pissed!.

Stormrider moves up and swings at the Goblin with the Dwarves. The attack misses. The Goblin turns his attention to Stormrider and jabs his shortsword towards him. The blade strikes true and does some damage. (5 Damage to Stormrider.)

The Hobgoblin unaffected by the Sleep spell moves towards Virius. Drawing his Longsword. The Hobgoblin moves with purpose, his longsword comes within an inch of striking Virius' head. The Hobgoblin missing.

Althiof Your Action, Then I will sumarize the rest of the round.

You can affect 2d4 with your Sleep spell. I messed up the roll and did 4d4, I am just going to take the first two rolls, the 2,4 for a total of 6HD. Sleep does not have a Saving Throw, so they do not get to counter the spell.


BLUE CIRCLE MEANS THEY ARE PRONE AND SLEEPING.

Having removed the lock, Althiöf moves into the prison cell and cuts the prisoner loose of his bonds (if their rope, otherwise, he'll try picking them).

Korkas Stonedelver       - 0 (Fumbled last Round, skips current Round.)
Ali Ansari               - 0 (No Action unless unbound.)

Althiof moves into the caged area and starts removing Ali's bonds. Hollen watches the Mage run off towards the darkness and shakes his head, running after him. He runs up to the Hobgoblin and swings his sword. The Ranger misses his attack. Kossoth moves up with his double spear and gets into position to defend the Mage if necessary, and jabs at the Hobgoblin. The double spear comes extremely close to hitting the hobgoblin, but it only scratches his armor. Yaotl tries to sling-staff the Goblin over towards the cage. The stone smacks the goblin in the side of the head knocking it out. Korkas continues to recover from his misstep and Ali is untied.

Spoiler text: (Highlight or hover over the text to view)
Korkas taking the opportunity the other warrior offered in distracting the goblin was able to regain his footing, using a feint with his secondary hand he drove home his dagger into the sternum of the goblin. Korkas seeing the goblin's eyes cloud over will shake his dagger loose and move towards the sound of the other combat (to X8).

Virius had followed the curving path of the dank cavern, his lantern bobbing and casting irregular shadows all the while.  The sounds of the melee rang out behind him, the shadows of the cave threatened to stretch on forever.  Then his light met the luminous eyes of the goblins, another warg and their cruel taskmaster.

A hobgoblin!  As cruel as the day was long ... and twice as mean.

Virius had been half-expecting there to be some sort of leadership waiting deeper within the cave.  The goblins they had found were standing guard duty after all ... that meant that someone else had been calling the shots.  But faced as he was with this new threat ... time was of the essence.

For all of his naiveté, the young historian was not entirely without a plan.  He was a mage of the Wizardholme after all.  With the right Words, with enough practice ... there were no heights he could not achieve.  No task that would not fall to his will.

The Suel nobleman reached into his pouch and grabbed a pinch of fine sand, he raised his hand and held it our toward the hobgoblin and his goons.  As he sprinkled the sand between his fingertips, his fingers assumed Nerrag's fourth gesture ... a complex articulation of the digits that was a precursor of most minor enchantments.

Then he said the words which would harness the magic, guide it, funnel it into its purpose.

"Somnus Alia."

One by one the goblins — indeed, the warg as well — collapsed where they stood.  Falling into a deep and dreamless slumber. The hobgoblin, however, was not affected by the magics.  This was not good.

The brute snarled and closed the distance between Virius and he faster than the wizard would have thought possible.  His blade sang as it came through the air, meaning to part head from shoulders but Virius danced (well, less-than-artfully stumbled) out of reach.

As Kossoth and Hollen came up to his side, Virius continued to withdraw.

"T-thanks."  He said with shaky breath.

"Name's Althiöf.  Got some friends with me.  We're here for the goblins.  If you don't cause any trouble, you'll go free, no worse for wear."

The dwarf then searched the cell amazingly quickly for anything of value.

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 152):

TThhankkss my friend, you are Ali's savior, freedom.  Now, let me find my gear and maybe I can help, oh if only they did not smash all my precious elixirs and scatter my components to the wind gods.  oh my oh my  Ali, follows the Dwarf out wringing his hands as he looks about.

Seeing that the situation before her is well in hand, she swiftly draws her knife, a thing that seems to have seen leagues more use pairing fruit than butchering, and swiftly forges on ahead to join the others. She steals a quick glance at the strange objects in the side of the cove (X and Y 3) then hurries onward to the room.
With the sounds of snoring and gasping echoing throughout the room, Yaotl quickly decides to do what must be done and finish off whichever beast she can. She approaches (Y13) with intent.

22:22, Today: Secret Roll: Yaotl Chimalma rolled 11 using 1d20+2 with rolls of 9.  Dagger init.

Althiof Morad searches the caged area, and finds nothing of value or usefulness. Storm moves deeper into the shadows of the cavern towards the others. The Hobgoblin swings his sword at Hollen, connecting with the blade across the neck of the Ranger, slicing leaving a major bloody wound. Hollen You take 11 damage. Ali you are able to get up and look out of the cage, while the Dwarf goes about searching the cage for anything left of value or usefulness, You can hear the clanging of steel further into the cavern but because of the darkness and the curve in the cavern you can't make out much. You do see others moving around the cavern heading that direction. Korkas stabs the unconscious goblin, killing it instantly. Virius withdraws away from the fight, as he watches Hollen go down from the Hobgoblins longsword. Hollen falls to the ground clutching his neck as blood spurts from the wound. Yaotl moves up to one of the goblins, with her dagger and jabs it into the creatures head, killing it. Kossoth attacks the Hobgoblin and and his double spear bounces again off the protective armor.

Despair creases Yaotl's face as she sees Hollen fall tumbling down the small slope before her. She faintly mummers something to herself that barely sounds human much less common to hear. Vivid red lines of writhing life start to churn on her hands as she holds her hands together and marches towards the Hobgoblin. Determined, she steps towards AA14 and lets loose her spell if her allies continue to not be caught in the crossfire.
