Soldath - Mage

So... are we cutting them all down or just the ones trying to be scary? I can go either way.

OOC: That's excellent. "I can go either way." Poetic beauty.

IC: Just the ones who arrived now and seem to be calling out the 3 who asked us for food. I'm thinking perhaps they don't like each other. And 6 is too many goblins in my immediate area, so we've got to kill 3. That's a rule. Like dinosaurs, or water.

Soldath - Mage

Solath will hurl a dart at a gobbie that is trying to be menacing. If there is a high chance he will hit one of his comrades he will hold off and watch the hungry ones.

Tret, rogue

Tret let's fly at one of the new "menacing" gobbies. Drop 'em all.

((OOC: Yeah, attacking just the snake goblins, not the red blades))

Day 13, Tserdain, Thaumont 13th, Dymrak Forest, nightfall, Combat round 1

Rain pelts the mud-soaked ground as man battles goblin, and goblin battles goblin. I don't think we'll need a map for this one.

Tret, who's been wise enough to hide his bowstring from the rain--haven't you, Tret?--quickly strings his bow and takes aim at one of the Viper Goblins. Whizzzz...thunk! The arrow sinks into the goblin's face (7 hp dmg), killing and downing him instantly.

Athelstan, having had enough of this goblin nonsense, swings Chrysomer into one of the two remaining Viper goblins. The little bugger steps aside at the last moment, though, and the swing goes wide. The goblin cackles with laughter as he then sidesteps Renardius' crushing blow with Smiter.

A Redblade goblin yells some curses at the Vipers, then lunges at one with his sword. The Viper ducks, then retaliates with a war hammer. The Redblade jumps back out of the hammer's arc. Now it's the Viper's turn to curse.

Soldath, watching the two goblins go at it, lobs his dart into the fray. The dart buries itself into the Viper's arm (1 hp dmg). The miserable creature shrieks in pain.

Another Redblade tries to chop off the head of the remaining Viper goblin, but loses his footing, missing completely.

The Viper retaliates, swinging his war hammer not into his original assailant, but at another Redblade entering the fray. The Redblade ducks the swing of the hammer, then plunges his sword into the Viper (5 hp dmg). Black blood flies as the Viper falls to the ground, dead.

Two Viper goblins are dead, one wounded.
The three Redblades are unharmed, as are you.

Actions? Don't forget to deduct any missiles used.

Tret, rogue

Tret reloads and fires arrow number two at Viper number three. Glad I kept my bowstring from getting damp, he says dryly.

Athelstan - Fighter
Athelstan swings Chrysomer down in a big arc toward the brainbox of the laughing goblin "Let's see how you chuckle with my sword buried in your skull."
