If the goblin was the side of a barn you might have hit him.

In Real Life I shoot better than this.... Although I improved to hitting the inside of a windowless room. From inside.... At least my arrows aren't breaking....
Tempted to jump through the window, glass and all.... Maybe tackle a couple of them...

Although my WIS isn't that low, so next time I go I try again.... Carefully using my 6 second round....

My next roll: 12! +2 for DEX, 14, plus flanking?

Aldwyn resets and attacks the goblin:

roll: 17(take that)

Damage 4

marcuspeddle · Post by **marcuspeddle** » Mon May 18, 2009 2:22 pm

Aldwyn pulls his spear back and then puts it through the goblin's chest. Blood spurts when he pulls the spear back out and the goblin falls to the floor in a crown of blood.

The goblin leader lunges for Aldwyn, narrowly missing with the first dagger and then catching the second dagger on the table so it falls to the floor on Aldwyn's side. The goblin utters a vicious grunt you expect is a curse.

Faran, encouraged by the fall of one of the goblins, swings in a sweeping arc towards the leader but the results are disappointing again. The remaining goblin stabs at Faran as he is off balance but the blade goes over Faran as Faran moves his body down with the long swing.

Orvyn tries to shoot the leader but the arrow deflects off a metal sholder plate. (No flanking, sorry, since you are slightly to the front of the goblins).

Aldwyn, it's your turn again.

I reset and stab again

roll: 4

(however, my awesome display of prowess will surely frighten the goblin leader to death. )

jaguar451 · Post by **jaguar451** » Tue May 19, 2009 5:52 am

My next roll: 6 +2 DEX = miss...

Argh!

I is accursed!

(I know it's not my turn yet; let me know if you'd rather I didn't post out of turn, but as I'm on the left coast and get home late....)

(posting out of turn is fine; it's saving us some time)

The leader, furious that he has dropped one of his daggers, strikes wildly at Aldwyn and cuts a gash in his side (2 points of damage).

Faran whips his mace around again and goes for the goblin with the short sword. Desperation to end the combat before any of his friends become more seriously injured helps him aim and the heavy mace comes down hard on the goblin's shoulder with enough force to shatter the shoulder and several ribs after it. With a shriek of pain the goblin falls to the floor and twitches several times before becoming still.

Orvyn is up . . . .

mordrene · Post by **mordrene** » Tue May 19, 2009 1:17 pm

Aldwyn will attack again

roll: 8

Guess I didn't say what Orvyn tried with his next roll.... Attack again with the bow. Maybe I hit the far wall this time? The windowsill?

Crap, got confused. Sorry and thanks for the humorous reminder.

marcuspeddle · Post by **marcuspeddle** » Thu May 21, 2009 12:03 am

The goblin leader knows he is outnumbered and probably in trouble but he is stubborn. He stabs at Faran, giving him a good scrape on the arm. Faran takes a step back,swings the heavy mace over his head and steps forward again to increase the strength of his blow. He hits the goblin leader on the chest but it is just a grazing blow and doesn't kill him.

Orvyn and Ardwyn

aldwyn mutters a prayer to nature and attacks, thrusting his spear at the goblin

roll: 18 damage 6

marcuspeddle · Post by **marcuspeddle** » Thu May 21, 2009 2:39 am

Oh, he's buggered.

You pull your spear out of his guts and he falls to the floor. A pool of blood starts to form around him.

All the enemy are dead. What do you want to do? Check the bodies? Look around the room? Spit on the bodies?

marcuspeddle · Post by **marcuspeddle** » Thu May 21, 2009 10:39 am

You get 18 experience points each for the goblins.

jaguar451 · Post by **jaguar451** » Sat May 23, 2009 7:09 am

I look around to see if anyone has noticed us....

Pick up arrow that fell backward (and check if any more fell out of my quiver...)

Join the lads inside, search the room. Collect more arrows. Check for any trap doors. Stairs. Etc.

If no one else does, I search the Goblins.

marcuspeddle · Post by **marcuspeddle** » Sun May 24, 2009 1:12 pm

One of your arrows was broken but the others are okay.

Checking the bodies of the goblins, you find the following things.

Gobin 1: Besides his filthy clothes and weapons, he has 15 silver pieces in a vest pocket.

Goblin 2: 23 silver pieces in a worn leather pouch hanging from his belt.

Leader: The two daggers the goblin was using are in excellent condition and obviously of superior workmanship. The hilts are a beautiful leather with a swirling design engraved on the pommels. They are a matching set. In a pocket you find a small tin with some ointment inside. On the lid is written "For External Use Only". In a fur pouch you find 7 gold pieces and 11 silver pieces.

The room is mostly empty though there are a number of broken chairs, the now broken table the goblins were behind, and a desk with two broken legs. There are three closed drawers in the desk. The top two are smaller than the bottom drawer. There doesn't appear to be anything else of interest in the room.

i wish to check out my comrades to see their physical condition.

"I think we need to rest here and then continue our attack."

marcuspeddle · Post by **marcuspeddle** » Tue May 26, 2009 10:34 pm

"I have a cut but it isn't too bad. I'm fine for now."

jaguar451 · Post by **jaguar451** » Wed May 27, 2009 6:33 am

7 gold

49 Silver

Let's split them evenly - 2 gold & 20 silver for two of us, 3 gold and 19 silver for the other (owed a silver piece...) Anyone with any preference?

How about I hold on to the daggers until we figure out what to do with them? I don't think either of you can use them? Although do either of you have a knife? Always good to have a small sharp thing on ya....

So, if we think we're ready to go on, anyone with any preferences on where we go next? Continue to the next building north? Head to the main building?

I'm leaning towards heading to the main building.... Carefully, of course....

"What about the drawers in the desk? Let's have a look in there."

mordrene · Post by **mordrene** » Thu May 28, 2009 1:51 am

"i agree, open the desk up. " Aldwyn moves over to the drawers and speaks aloud a prayer, asking to detect poison in and around the drawers.

jaguar451 · Post by **jaguar451** » Thu May 28, 2009 6:26 am

Oh, drawers. Must pay better attention.

I stand back just in case anything interesting happens...

marcuspeddle · Post by **marcuspeddle** » Thu May 28, 2009 11:41 pm

There is not a whiff of poison about the drawers. In the top two drawers (I assume you open them) are some very old and dry pieces of paper that have been torn and stained with who knows what. Some of them are bound into book form. On the paper are rows and rows of symbols that you do not recognise. Some are fairly simple (consisting of a single horizontal line) and others are extremely complex. In the bottom drawer you find a small wooden chest. Carved into the top is a fancy letter 'G'.

mordrene · Post by **mordrene** » Fri May 29, 2009 2:21 am

i open the box

marcuspeddle · Post by **marcuspeddle** » Fri May 29, 2009 12:56 pm

YOU FOOL!

Just kidding. Inside the chest are 4 platinum pieces (the first you have ever seen, being from a farming village), 25 gold pieces, 20 silver pieces, an accounting book, and a gold locket. Inside the locket is a small lock of blonde hair and a well-done drawing of an elegant looking woman.

(Anticipating hearing what's in the box...

marcuspeddle · Post by **marcuspeddle** » Mon Jun 01, 2009 10:24 am

I told you in the post above.

jaguar451 · Post by **jaguar451** » Mon Jun 01, 2009 8:06 pm

I'm on the other side of the room, and the guy who opened it seems to be paralyzed....
Just wondering how much my character should know of what they actually don't know....

marcuspeddle · Post by **marcuspeddle** » Mon Jun 01, 2009 10:52 pm

Ah, I see. The box opener is the victim of work server filters so he can't post until he gets home.

But let's assume that you would have been peering over his shoulder when he opened it.

By the way, what did you do with the tin of ointment labelled "For External Use Only"?

mordrene · Post by **mordrene** » Tue Jun 02, 2009 2:49 am

Aldwyn will show everyone the contents of the box, "are these what I think they are? we will definitely take these back to town. imagine how many people we could help."

Aldwyn will examine the book and ask, "Faran, can you make anything out of the book?"

(The internet server at my work has labeled the freeyabb forums as a illegal drug hit so its banned.)
