Bob lauches a javelin at one of the goblins, hoping to strike before it does.

ooc: 07:19, Today: Bob rolled 5,2 using 1d20+3,1d6 ((2,2)).

looks like I'll have to go pick that one up.

Satisfied in his experiment in CHAOS, Dr. Mason sheathes his cane and unhooks the crescent wrench from his belt. He stands a few feet from the fanta-black sphere and holds his wrench like a batter in one of those ancient sport games.

He clears his throat and shouts "BREE YARK! in a higher pitch, hoping to fool the humanoid simpletons into meeting the business end of his wrench.

Veryn shoots a goblin to the right side through the throat it drops it's javelin slumping to it's knees as it clutches at the arrow sticking out of it, before collapsing totally staining the dirt red.  Veryn crouches using Bob's mule for cover against the ones behind the party.

Atak shoots into the darkness, you hear a thump and surprised grunt followed by the sound of a body hitting the road.


Black Angus wings one to the left, but not enough to deter the goblin's javelin.

Bob hits the tree next to the goblin he was aiming at, the javelin sticking out of it.

The remaining 7 goblins outside of darkness launch their javelins at random targets having lost any kind of coordination amongst the confusion of the darkness and all their shouting.

One finds it's mark on Atak (AC 0, 3 damage) while two more land next to him.

Another pierces Veryn's side. (AC 0, 2 damage.)

A javelin each thunks in the dirt road next to Darien, Bob, and Black Angus.

A larger goblin in the back shouts "Chee choe!" The remaining goblins outside the darkness stop shouting and move back around the trees a bit to get some cover while preparing their second javelin.  the bigger one continues shouting, "Diech dee doong nay!" a couple times, shakes his head, points at Darien and shouts "Geeit foo thooey!" None of those within the darkness have made it out yet.

(OOC: They're all within range to move to and melee if you prefer, otherwise they have some cover from their current positions.  Actions and attacks for the 2nd round?)

When struck by the javelin Atak shows no signs of pain or injury, except the jarring to his body from the impact.

Recovered, Atak targets one of the visible goblins and lets fly another successful arrow. "Doctor, I think you are the new belle of the ball. I suggest you dodge and run!" he calls out, then resumes making his clicking noise.

((ooc: 13:15, Today: Atak rolled 3 using 1d8+1.  Atak bow damage.

13:15, Today: Atak rolled 15 using 1d20+2.  Atak bow shot.))

Bob tosses his javelin at the leader, as he grabs another from his quiver.

13:04, Today: Bob rolled 10,4 using 1d20+3,1d6 ((7,4)).

His AC 8 for 4

Dr. Mason sprints around the edge of the darkness, still hoping to bash some unlucky goblin stumbling out as he steals the bases.

Black Angus drops his crossbow, draws his great sword, and charges the nearest goblin. Of course, this takes some time and the goblin has plenty of time to prepare to dodge the huge sword as Angus brings it crashing down.

13:55, Today: Black Angus rolled 3 using 1d20+1.  Attack (two-handed sword).

In reply to Dr. Darien Mason (msg # 104):

OOC: Very prescient, roll an attack as you run by one that stumbles out.

In reply to DM.Justisaur (msg # 106):

The Doctor spots a misshapen head poking from the wall of blackness, squinting in the sudden onslaught of hated sunlight.

"HEEEEY BATTA BATTA!"

12:42, Today: Dr. Darien Mason rolled 19,4 using d20+1,d6+1 ((18,3)).

The mighty wrench swoops downward on its skull with a satisfying CRUNCH.

Veryn fires on the creatures from his partially covered position behind the mule.

OOC: 12:36, Today: Veryn Darkwater rolled 19,2 using d20+3,d8 ((16,2)).

Atak shoots one of the goblins through the nose into the brain knocking it over, where it twitches for a moment before death.

Bob hits the tree the goblin's leader is using for cover.

Black Angus chases his intended victim around the tree where it decided to throw a javelin at the menacing figure (AC 0, 6 damage) scoring a telling hit.

The goblin Darien clobbers never recovers from the blow, staggering a last step before falling.  Darien continues running around the darkness, using it as screen against javelins.

Veryn shoots another in it's open gullet as it opens it to speak, which dies gruesomely.

Three other goblins stumble out of the darkness squinting and shading their eyes, only one still had it's javelin at the ready which it throws into your crowd, hitting Veryn (AC 1, 5 damage)

The goblins start all chattering and shouting again, The leader shouts "Geeit Choe!" which doesn't seem to help their confusion The two remaining that were using trees for cover closest to the darkness take off after Darien, throwing their javelins at him as they come at him in a pincer on either side of the darkness opposite the party, but their running throws go wide.



One goblin remains by their tree and looses a javelin Atak hitting him again (AC 3, Dam ?)

The leader chooses his target carefully and goes for Atak, but took too long telegraphing his throw so that Atak just shifts a foot and the javelin pierces only the dirt of the road.


The goblins all look shaken at the losses they've taken but are still fighting.

(OOC:  To clarify positions:

Darkness starts 15' from where the party started.

3 goblins remain that came out of the darkness toward the party so they're about 10-15' away, close enough to melee.

2 goblins are now on the opposite side of the darkness as is Veryn.

1 goblin is being chased around a tree by Black Angus - the one he winged previously.

2 goblins remain using trees for cover, one of them the leader.

Round 3 begins, state movement & attacks)

Veryn shrugs off the wound, and fires once more into the Goblins, assuming that killing them will be the better choice than hiding.

OOC: Veryn's cover is being taken into account, right?
15:43, Today: Veryn Darkwater rolled 16,1 using d20+3,d8 ((13,1)).

After being hit for a second time by a javelin, Atak rushes INTO the sphere of darkness, disappearing from view.

(OOC: Veryn: Yes the cover is taken into account, just been rolling a lot of high ACs like in the AC 0 range.)

The Doctor keeps giggling to himself, hoping for another surprised goblin to smack around the corner.

"Here we go round the mulberry bush, the monkey chased th weasel, right around the mulberry bush...!"

11:05, Today: Dr. Darien Mason rolled 12,4 using d20+1,d6+1 ((11,3)).

From the sphere of darkness an arrow flies out, striking the goblin leader.

((ooc: Atak rolled 2 using 1d8+1.  Atak bow damage.

Atak rolled 18 using 1d20+4.  Atak bow shot from darkness.))

Bob launches another javelin at the goblin giving orders, but seems to have a vendetta against the nearby tree.

ooc: 19:16, Today: Bob rolled 13,3 using 1d20+3,1d6.  Vs talking goblin

Hits AC 5 for 3

In reply to Atak (msg # 116):

Black Angus maneuvers around the tree and again tries to separate the goblin's head from its body with his sword.

10:03, Today: Black Angus rolled 9,8 using 1d20+1,1d10+1.  attack goblin.

Veryn wings one of the ones that came out of the darkness, he's little affected as he readies he returns fire on Veryn, but seeing it coming he ducks around the Bob's mule who takes the hit instead (AC 2, Dam 2)

No more come out of the darkness, Darien's swing against the nearest as he circles the darkness goes wide, the goblin fully recovered from the ordeal.

An arrow shoots from the darkness and the surprise on the goblin talker's face is evident when it hits him solidly in the left arm.  The tree gives the goblin talker just enough cover as Bob's javelin ricochets off of the edge of it, and rips his leather helmet, giving him a fright but no real damage.  Between the arm and near hit, his javelin throw is far off, so much so, you aren't even sure who he was aiming for.  His last javelin used he pulls his more solid spear from his back.

Black Angus goes for the one he's chasing's neck, but it steps out of the range of his sword just in time, then throws his last javelin at Angus but it's deflected by his armor.

One behind the other tree throws his last javelin at Angus' back when he's chasing the one around the tree hitting him in a weak spot of his armor, and he chuckles at the hit (AC -2, dam 3) then ducks back behind the tree out of sight.

A third from the darkness also throws a javelin at Black Angus, but is very wide as it squints into the sun - it then runs behind the nearest tree getting some relief from the sun in the shade.

One of the ones that came out of the darkness turns and throws a javelin just as Atak enters the darkness, it misses, but came awfully close, a moment sooner and it would've hit.

The two who chased Darien along the tree line continued to do so, but only one has a good shot due to the intervening darkness and other goblins which finally lands piercing his deceptively strong lab coat (AC 4, Damage 4)

All of the goblins but the three nearest the darkness are now out of javelins, leaving them with only one spear.

(OOC Round 4!)

Not to be daunted by a hurled sharpened stick, he spins and takes another swing at the foe nearest him. His wrench makes a solid hit across the jaw, sure to knock out fangs but probably not enough to send skulls flying.

14:40, Today: Dr. Darien Mason rolled 19,2 using d20+1,d6+1 ((18,1)).

Bob launches another javelin in a futile attempt to kill the leader.

ooc: 19:33, Today: Bob rolled 5,5 using 1d20+3,1d6.  Vs talking goblin.

The dice rollers hates Bob.

Black Angus yells in anger as the goblin he's attacking dodges away again, then a javelin tags him in the arm. "Get over here, you little creep! You can't run forever!"

As he finishes his taunt, he brings his sword down with authority.

10:42, Today: Black Angus rolled 15,7 using 1d20+1,1d10+1.  attack goblin.

Another arrow flies out from the darkness, headed toward the goblin leader.

((ooc: Today: Atak rolled 6 using 1d8+1.  Atak bow damage.

            Today: Atak rolled 9 using 1d20+4.  Atak bow shot.))
