The Main Campaign!

Phedre nicEssus wrote:Oh I hate when this happens...*grumble*

Beth gets up off the couch and walks over to where the grey box sat on the floor hooked up to the TV. Nudging it with her foot she watched the screen for any change. With a sigh she sat down on the floor next to it, controller tossed to the side. With a quick prayer to the Game Gods that the game won't get deleted, she popped the cartridge out of the console. Blowing into the slot of the game cartridge a few times and even on the console for good measure, she shoves the game back in and presses power once more...

BOOP!

... BEEP!

You smack the console, and it manages to unfreeze itself! That never works. You sigh, and QUICK-SAVE to avoid any problems in the future.

God, I mean, if you lost your data, you would have had to come up with character names all over again. That would take forever.

All of the goblins scream as they rush in to a crude formation, taking aim at Cameron! It seems that Cameron's cover is not compelling them to stop; They grab anything they can get their hands on nearby, load it in to their blunderbusses, and fire!

6 of the blunderbuster's miss their mark, embedding the door frame with shrapnel and silverware. The seventh, however, mindlessly grabs a lit candle from the cake and a bottle of rum, which creates a horrible makeshift molotov cocktail! Cameron is burned by flaming shrapnel for 25 damage! Tabitha is burned for 5 damage!

Cameron shuts the door as fast as he can, and finds a bit of cover.

"Tabby, Phedre! I need you both to get out of this room; We cannot fight all of them head on. The way I see it, they are stubborn, they only know about this one way in to this room. If you go out through that dark room behind us, you might be able to flank them, or give yourselves enough breathing room to come up with a better plan. Now go! I am going to stay in here and barricade myself in to slow them down."

Vasani Shepard wrote:Vasani decides she had better see what Phedre is shouting about outside. She stares each one of the villagers in the eye, as if daring them to attack her. Come at me, bro. Still tipsy, she staggers her way out of the barn and looks around and spots Metah riding towards the town hall on a magnificent horse that in no way resembles a goblin to Vasani's drunken eyes. As Metah rides past, Vasani makes a drunkenly graceful leap onto the back of the horse and rides the battle-worthy steed into the town hall.



initiative is like... +3.

You arrive gracefully on your strange horse at the entrance to Town Hall. You notice hordes of goblins before you, as well as notice a panicked everyone else behind them. Time to be a goddamn hero!

Vasani and Metah have entered the battle! Metah is currently DISGUISED, and can choose to enter combat at any point that you want. When you choose to, roll initiative as part of your action. Since it will be a SURPRISE action, you will be granted automatic critical damage!



It is now.. Vasani's turn!

Judging by the commotion coming from the other room, there were alot of goblins in the other room. Even in her drunken stupor, Vasani could see that charging into a hall full of gods know how many goblins would get her swiftly killed.


She charges up to the one of the goblins just ahead of her, punches him square in the jaw, and grabs hold of him as a shield. Or perhaps a buckler, given his small stature.


+9 vs AC

Wham! The goblin barely had a chance to respond before he gets his jaw broken, his banner drops to the ground, and he is forced in to a headlock!

You have a firm grip on the goblin, and enemies will take a disadvantage to any checks made against you! If any rolls are made below a natural 5, they will hit the goblin instead!

It is now.. Cameron's turn!

Cameron grabs the closest object, a large vase, and places it in front of the door. He reaches out and grabs the mayor's office chair and plops down in it in front of Tabby, taking a moment to rest. He smiles at her, "Don't worry! I'll be fine. Go on!"

Cameron blows his second wind. Gonna keep barricading next turn; (I realize the vase won't do much).



It is now.. PHEDRE'S TURN!

Phedre looked at the glass vase blocking the doorway and looked harder at Cameron. Had he taken a blow to the head as well? Catch your breath and maybe we can add the table to your vast barricade. In your own time.

Inspiring(kinda) Word:(minor) Target(Cameron) can spend a healing surge and regain 1d6+4 additional hps.

And if thats not enough Aid the Injured:(standard) Target(Cameron) can spend a healing surge.

With Cameron and Tabby covering the exits, Phedre decided to see if there is anything they can use in the darkened room to the east.

Move action into the room at the east. I'm not gonna bother reposting the map, you know where I'm going.

You manage to heal Cameron back up to full! He thanks you before you walk off in to the dark room.

Taking a quick look around the dark room, you notice that it seems to be a study or library of some sort. A couple of things around the room catch your eye:

A BOTTLE of WHISKEY
A WIDE GLASS
BOOKS
BOOKS
BOOKS
A COMFY-LOOKING CHAIR
A CHEST-OF-DRAWERS

Hmmmm..

Meanwhile, in the dining room!

The goblin flag-twirlers begin running at the door with their spears, but don't achieve any real damage to the barricade. The birthday-goblin begins to get frustrated at the mass of goblins trying to get in to the door way, crowding his aim. "HEY YE NUMNUTS, GET OUTTA DA WAY! GO FINDANOTER DOOR OR SOMETIN! DER TOO MANY GLUBGLUBS IN HERE!" Most ignore him. A few BLUNDERBUSTERs and a few BANNER BEARERs listen, though, and break off from the main group (Now listed as GROUP B on the PAUSE MENU), and start walking towards the southern door. Two blunderbusters bump in to eachother as they exit the dining room, shocked at seeing Vasani and the Gob-horse.

"WHAT KIND OF SAVAGE LETS A HORSE IN TO A BUILDIN? JEEZ! GET HER!"

The two fire their blunderbusses at Vasani! The first shot misses Vasani and her hostage entirely, but the second embeds the poor goblin with shrapnel, dealing 19 DAMAGE and defeating him! Gross. You drop the dead goblin before any of it gets on you.

Your party gains 25 exp!

(Also, Cassie, whenever you post, follow the move-minor-standard listing of actions as if you were in combat. Also, if you can, if you make any significant movement around the building or near other goblins, be sure to do a BLUFF check before you take any attack actions!)



It is now... TABITHA'S TURN!

Tabitha manages at least a small smile. Phedre had done a fine job healing him up, but it still didn't get rid of the scorch marks on his clothes... "I'll go, but I'm still going to worry." Stalling a little, her eyes inevitably fall on the potted plant sitting casually in front of the door. "Well, I like your plant." As she turns to leave, she spots some of the stray mushrooms she hadn't managed to fit in her pack. Squinting at them, she turns back to the pot, back to the mushrooms, then back again. Dammit, why not? "Just a minute," she mutters at Cameron, crouching by the plant. "I'm gonna try to grow it bigger, help block the door for you."

Nature: +14

You made the HARD DC!.. for a level 11 player.

The potted fern begins to shake a little, when, all of a sudden.. fwoosh!

The fern grows ten times in size in a blink of an eye, it's roots digging in to the floorboards and it's leaves and stalk turning the doorway in to a dense jungle.. of fern.

Cameron is impressed.



You still have a move and minor action!

Tabby nods proudly at her new giant fern. Probably confuse the shit out of them, anyway. She was a little sad to leave it but after a mental goodbye, she hurries into the other room, making it just inside the door. Though she notices the objects Phedre already found, she decides to get her bearings and give the room a harder look for anything helpful...or dangerous.

Perception: +12

You made the HARD DC!

Hmmm.. books books books. You notice some odd books in his collection (I mean, really? Vixens of the Draconian Empire?), but otherwise, you don't notice anything entirely out of the ordinary.. except.. hello, what's this? You notice a key hiding beneath the whiskey-drinkin' glass.

You pick it up!

Recieved OLD KEY!

Two of the Goblin Banner-bearers begin twirling their adorned flags, preparing to strike Vasani! For goblins, they have some surprisingly smooth dance-moves..

The first goblin swipes at Vasani with the spear-end of his flag, but misses! Gracefully, he sidesteps allowing room for his partner in swank to charge! The second goblin successfully strikes Vasani for 15 DAMAGE, and knocks her prone! But her intoxication reduces it to 11. Woo for booze! The second goblin sidesteps behind the first goblin.

In the other room, the blunderbuster's reload their rifles and unload another round of shrapnel in to the already torn-up door. That thing is barely holding on now!



It is now.. VASANI'S TURN!

Time for a little goblin bowling. One of Vasani's favorite passtimes. She takes a step back and charges back to the goblin in front. Vasani barrels into him, pushing him back into the group of goblins behind him and knocking him (and hopefully some of his comrades) to the ground.


+9 vs Fort
1d8+5, pushed back a square and knocked prone.

Wham! Just like a classic game of goblin dominoes, they each fall back and fall flat on to the ground! The first goblin BANNER BEARER, taking the brunt of the blow, takes 6 DAMAGE, while the BANNER BEARER behind him takes 2 DAMAGE, and the BLUNDER BUSTER behind him takes 4! You completely messed up the Banner Bearer's groove.

Meanwhile, goblin flag twirlers continue to stab at the office door with their spears, nearly breaking the barrier down!

Cameron grabs the BLUNDERBUSS off of the ground, and hopes nothing goes wrong; He places the barrel against the broken door and pulls the trigger.

BOOM!

A large blast echoes through the building. The smoke clears, revealing flaming shrapnel and four dead goblins. The door is entirely obliterated. Cameron, however, takes 5 DAMAGE from the scorch!

Luckily, the fern is still completely intact, as Cameron had made sure to reach around it to avoid it getting harmed by the blast. Ferns are great!

Your party receives 90 EXP!



It is now.. PHEDRE'S TURN!

Phedre's eyes land on the bottle of whiskey. A horribly awesome idea came to her. This was either gonna be amazing or tragic, but it was gonna be fun. Grabbing what seemed to be last months copy of Distressed Damsels she yanked the centerfold pin up out.



*ugh* Crumpling it up and shoving it into the neck of the bottle she ran back into the main room. Whiskey in one hand, candle in the other she waits by the door till she can chuck it right in the middle of the gobs when the door comes down.

KK not sure if the door is damaged enough for me to chuck it into goblin room yet, but holding my action till it is. Do I roll now? or do you roll for me when the time comes?

oh dear.

No door? kk so I'm rolling...what? d20 to hit I guess. Dunno what the damage is on a burning pin-up Molotov cocktail

Foom! In a glorious blaze, five of the GOBLIN BLUNDERBUSTER's ignite in a strange, purple flame! They burn pretty. The goblins took a critical 16 FIRE DAMAGE, and 5 ongoing damage!
It also appears the fire is spreading.

In the main hall, the two Goblin Blunderbusters spring to their feet, and take aim at Vasani! Blam blam! Due to a strange series of events, you are first hit by a buckshot of caltrops, and than .. a healing potion. A combination of healing potion, intoxication, caltrops and buckshot leaves you taking 20 DAMAGE! Ow! You are also SLOWED due to the CALTROPS.




It is now.. TABBY'S TURN!
