Wow, I have had a streak of mistakes recently. Glad you all are keeping me honest here. I updated my spreadsheet but forgot to update the post status with it. Will correct it. Was trying to push the post out before making breakfast for the kids.

Speaking of which,  I should be down 8 hp due to one of those pesky goblins.

Thanks Bart. I will make the updates.

bhu, you can certainly try it. Enough damage should break it rendering it useless as cover for the goblin.

Also, if anybody is so hurt that you would like me to use actual healing on you (which would also let you spend a healing surge) let me know.  This goes for in general, not just this fight.

I'm not bloodied yet so I'm good for now, though one battle is over or I fall under bloodied (whichever is first) I'd like some hraling. Theo might need it first though. ;)

Well, I guess we have to decide whether to open the two doors at once or one at a time. If we open one, I reckon, we would be attacked and pincered on two sides anyway. Also, I will not be available until Thursday or late Wednesday so feel free to do my actions.

If we're waiting,  I can try to kick the doors into them. I guess technically anyone can, but only a couple of us really have the strength for it.

FYI on the doors. Dunor and Theo would both know from previous that none of the doors have been locked so far, they open both ways, inward and outward. The latches are slide bolts and still move effortlessly. I suppose kicking it in you have the chance of hitting the goblin behind it though.

That was the idea. I'd basically be bullrushing the door, the way I figure, unless I can push through as part of the movement. I imagine it doesn't work that way, though.

Well if you can succeed on the break DC of the door I will allow a bull rush attack against the square just on the other side of it.

To me, the rules are a little vague for Ready an Action on how many actions can be readied. In my mind, it seems you can ready multiple actions (i.e. minor and standard). a I have done for Shandien's turn (posting in a few more minutes here). How does everyone feel about this and should we use it going forward?

Was Shandien expecting Dunor to break through the west doors or the north ones? I was thinking to rush the west ones to take care of the goblins.

Just wanted to check what the gesturing was assuming.

Ah, well if you go through the west ones, then I will just alter the post to have Shandien go through the north ones right away.

I guess I'm not sure.  Everyone else can probably take the Goblins, though I'd rather not split the party and add more enemies on multiple fronts if possible, assuming there are likely more enemies in the northern room.

Yes, that is always a possibility.  :plotting

If I'm not mistaken, one of the goblin is in the north room while the other is in the west, so there surely are enemies in both rooms. Some round earlier, one of the goblin stopped shooting and did something. This is the one in the west room, so there is likely to be a trap/ambush in the west room waiting for us. Things are likely to be the same in the north room too, but since the goblin there shot at me last round, he is most likely to be there behind the door still.

It is best I think to not split the party. However, aforementioned, we will most likely have to fight on two fronts anyway, because if we all go in one direction, whatever enemies in the other room will probably spill into the current room and attack us from behind/on the side. Or it is also possible that we are over-thinking and there are only two goblins left to kill (unlikely).

Anyhow, extra caution ought to be taken in the west room, since it's dark, and we know the goblin did something beside shooting at us.
