The man notices the goblins approaching. He waits a heartbeat, then peeks out from behind the tree that is concealing him. He mutters an arcane phrase and a bolt of energy colored purple and black streaks out from him his outstretched hand.

It does not, however, come anywhere close to the goblin he is aiming at. His eyes narrow a little and a frown mars his visage as he contemplates his failure.

Round 6

Tiria Nailo rushes forward towards one of the goblins and swings with her blade, but the goblin swiftly ducks underneath it.

Walter looked around the tree and shot off a beam of purple energy at another one of the goblins, but unfortunately that missed as well.

With one quick motion Golun Fearstorm threw a magic stone at Enemy 3. It smashed directly into the goblin's face and with a quick yelp of pain it was over for that small enemy. He crumbles to the ground, no longer moving.
Golun Fearstorm crits using a Magic Stone for 15 damage total at Enemy 3. Enemy 3 is dead!

After ducking under Tiria Nailo's blade, Enemy 1 continues to run at top speed passed and away from her.
Enemy 1 takes Disengage as a bonus action and dashes to I13.

Enemy 2 runs at full speed trying to get through, but does not spot Ten preparing his chance to attack.
Ten has an attack of opportunity against Enemy 2.

Enemy 3 is dead in the snow.

Tiria snarls silently as the goblin ducks her blade, having to fight her own momentum to pivot in a flurry of dirt and snow from the road before she can give chase.

Despite her speed it appears she won't be able to have firm footing to strike so instead of doing so mid stride she again summons a trio of glowing yellow tetrahedrons that spiral her left wrist. They accelerate in a blur of light before being released as she points her index finger at the fleeing goblin's back.

Thumpf, thumpf, thumpf, all three fly forwards rapid succession, landing simultaneously.

The man sees one of the enemy's number is struck down and he nods. But then another one runs right past him, and he is too slow to react. He whips his quarterstaff around and is able to strike the tree next to him quite soundly, arms reverberating with the blow for a moment.

Grimly satisfied with a clean kill, Golun noticed another Goblin breaking through their defensive line, pursued by the diminutive but dangerous Elf-maid. As it ran he swivelled his body and whipped another stone at it. The stone flew true and struck the runner hard at the top of it’s leg, smashing it’s thigh bone, just as the Elf unleashed her own magic on it.

Brohm launches his javelin from his concealed spot.  The middle flies unerringly through the air to transfix the goblin (E2) to the tree behind it.  The steel head hurried deep into the tree.

Round 6 Continued

Ten sees the goblin come rushing past him, but can't seem to react quick enough with his quarterstaff and instead hits a tree hard enough to reverberate through his arms.

Brohm of Clan Stonehelm throws a javelin at the goblin who just passed by him and it strikes true as it hits the goblin through the chest. The javelin continues to fly now with the goblins body pinned to it into a tree not too far away there it imbeds itself into the thick of the trunk with the goblins dead body hanging from it.
Brohm of Clan Stonehelm crits dealing a total of 24 damage to Enemy 2. Enemy 2 is dead!

Larwick shoots off a beam of energy much like the one Walter had shot off, but unfortunately he too missed his mark.

Walter was annoyed at having missed with his cool finger gun, so instead, he pulled out a sword that almost looked too big for him to wield even as he held it in both hands. With a sigh, Walter burst into action trying to head off the one who was closest to him.

In reply to Golun Fearstorm (msg # 71):

I didn't the last round posted was 6 and that is when you crit. The next round hasn't been announced yet, but not to worry I'll use your last post for your 7th round action, if that's what you're still wanting to do.

In reply to The Narrator (msg # 72):

Ah sorry, my bad. Yes stick with that please!

In reply to Golun Fearstorm (msg # 73):

No problem.

If the goblin still stands, Brohm hurls a javelin at it.

The man flinches as the impact against the hard tree, rather than the expected softer goblin form, hurts his arm slightly. He barely restrains making a pained noise. After shaking his head, he notices that the goblin that just ran past him is now down.

He steps out from behind the tree and his eyes lock on the next goblin. He utters an arcane phrase in a strange hissing language, and makes a gesture his with off-hand. But when he tries to point the staff at the goblin, his arm twinges in pain, and the eldritch bolt he looses goes wide.

He frowns deeply at missing yet again and lets out a small sigh.

Round 7

Tiria Nailo shots off three missiles at the remaining foe and he falls to the ground with an, "Ugh!"

With the last seen goblin downed the group stayed vigilant for signs of any other threats, but there were no others to see yet.

Round 7 has concluded please post your actions for round 8.

Tiria stands upright and lowers her scimitar, looking around as the dust and quiet settle once again.

"More messengers? Hopefully we didn't miss any others."

She moves part way towards the most recently felled goblin then stops and turns to Walter, "Would you mind checking the bodies to see if they carried messages like the bird did?"

OOC: Move to H17 then making a perception check.
16:14, Today: Tiria Nailo rolled 6 using 1d20+2 with rolls of 4.  Perception.

Walter's head was on a swivel as he looked this way and that for more green people to shoot at, but none were apparent. He nodded at Tiria's suggestion. "Sure, let me see."

The green man moved over to the goblins and started rifling through their gear looking for more notes and messages, but would be easily distracted by anything else he could find.

15:27, Today: Walter rolled 11 using 1d20-1.  Investigation

Round 8

Keeping his eyes open, Golun moved forward to check the body of one of the fallen foes. As he stepped carefully through the undergrowth he muttered a quiet prayer, asking for a blessing from Selune.

As he moved his eyes flicked around, spying for movement or anything out of place, just in case they missed something before. He then delved into his belt pouch and retrieved more pebbles, ready to hurl them at any target that presented itself.

Bonus - Cast Magic Stone on pebbles

13:37, Today: Golun Fearstorm rolled 12 using 1d20+5.  Perception.

Seeing that the last of the current set of messengers is no longer a problem, the man looks around one more time. Then he steps back behind the tree once more, attempting to make himself less seen as before. He tamps down his annoyance with himself on his bad aim, knowing he has very little practice with that sort of thing really. Still, his fidgeting and slight anger make it easier to see him behind the tree for the moment.

Retrieving his blood soaked javelin from the goblin and the tree, Brohm then wipes it clean.  He scans the area, then disappears into the trees again, vanishing from sight.


18:34, Today: Brohm of Clan Stonehelm rolled 24 using 1d20+8 with rolls of 16.  Stealth.

Round 8

Tiria Nailo moves forward and asks Walter to check the bodies as she continues to stay vigilant. Walter does so, but finds nothing on the body of the goblin he checks. Golun Fearstorm checks the body nearest him, but again nothing is found on the body. He then prepares magic stones for the next fight. Ten, seeing the current enemies taken care of, steps back trying to hide among the trees. Brohm of Clan Stonehelm retrieves his javelin then disappears in the trees as well. Larwick remains vigilant too.

It is a while before any other movement is spotted, but when the time comes what look like reinforcements are on the way. A total of 6 goblins and 5 hobgoblins can be seen approaching in the distance.

Round 8 has concluded please post your actions for round 9.
The same initiative will be kept for now. Golun Fearstorm, you can save your Vigilant Blessing for now.

Upon seeing the oncoming group of goblinoids Tiria once again begins swinging her sword with the characteristic thrum of her bladesong, moving a short distance forward and positioning herself ready to face the imminent clash.

With a gesture of her free hand towards the ground ahead, a small black geyser erupts beneath the feet of the group ahead, pooling to create a slick greasy surface about 10 feet across.

---

OOC: I'm assuming bladesong has ended so Bonus action to start that up again.
Moving within 60ft to cast Grease as an Action on H1 to I2 then moving back to H16.

Is there an apparent leader in the incoming group?

Hearing the incoming enemy squad, Golun moved as silently as a squirrel in a flanking manoeuvre, stepping gently on the soft ground and avoiding any twigs or fallen branches. He kept low - well as low as you can when you're a a bear nearly seven feet tall - twirling the magic stones in his hand as he moved. Carefully he positioned himself behind a tree and waited for an opportunity to strike.

Gently he whispered an incantation. Suddenly there was a sound in the trees way above his head. The beating of wings, quiet at first but gradually getting louder. What could it be? A mighty eagle? A wyvern, maybe? No, it was the unmistakeable sound of a dragon in flight, and it was getting closer!

10:38, Today: Golun Fearstorm rolled 20 using 1d20.  Stealth.

Walter's interests are torn between the incoming band of enemies, some of them bigger than before. Sometimes Walter dreamt of being a bigger green man, but that was neither here nor there. The other fascinating pull on his limited ability to focus was the wonderful thrum of the bladesong coming from Tiria.

He moved closer to her while keeping his sword up and aimed at the approaching green people. As he got closer he started to move his body in time to her ability, and when he came to a stop next to her, his whole form seemed to shift back and forth in a weird syncopated rhythm.

Move: to G16
Action: Cast Blur (any creature has disadvantage on attack rolls against you. (Except blindsight/truesight)
