Rescue at Rivenroar (Game Thread)

[Melblen_Cairn]

Gor manages to evade most of Everyn's initial attack by ducking down into the wagon. Varg is not so fortunate. Not seeing the caster's spell he takes the brunt of the first blast gets spun and gets hit fully by an exploding barrel of pitch.

Varg is bloodied and prone by this.

Suq moves to stand beside Everyn and whispering dark phrases, "Naleethah tbinth eleng born", calling upon his pact given infernal powers and brings forth a cascade of rivulets of fire to rain down on Thak. The beasts skin bubbles and fries as the clinging drops of fire scorch him and set little fires off on his tattered clothing and armor. "Dahahow!! Me's Burnin'!".

Suq quickly follows the display up with another. Drawing from his pact again he reaches out and a purplish ribbon of dark force crawls through the air toward Thaks heart but as it establishes contact the Ogre growls it away before it can begin feeding on his life force.

Soff'a leaps past the nearby flames and races forward, careful to avoid the thrashing ogre on the ground. Sweeping the glowing blade as you wade in the trailing red runes float above Thak momentarily. The sides and height of the wagon again save Gor as the blade glances off of the wood. Up this close it is clear that not all of the barrels in the back of the wagon have burst yet and are currently alight consuming the wood.

Running gives -5 to your attacks as well as granting a combat advantage to those attacking you. So really neither are hit by it currently. You can choose not to run and go through the square of fire and still get there in which case only the Orge is hit by it and marked overriding Bhrims Mark on the ogre. Also I moved you in such a way that you would not get hit by an attack of opportunity from the ogre.

Gor drops his bow to the floor of the wagon, drawing his sword he leaps off the side of the wagon and brings his blade down on Soff'a

Behind you from down the street four hobgoblins that were chasing some townsfolk appear and see the fight. They turn and yell, "For Sinruth! For the Fist!" and charge in.

Rug moves up and then charges on Everyn = 1d20+7=18 vs. AC
Wad moves up and charges on Suq = 1d20+7=11 vs. AC
Scor moves at a run and charges on Atanos = 1d20+2=11 vs. AC
Gab moves at a run and charges on Atanos = 1d20+2=3 vs. AC
If the attacks hit they do 5 damage each. Looks like only Everyn is hit

Oh and yes I have taken the damage off Gor and Varg for the fire zone created by Everyn.

Also Suq gains +1 to all defenses until the end of Granite's turn next round.

      - Cleaned up my post above to change the Run to Walk (did not know about the -5 to attack on run.)
      - Athletics check added for leaping over the flames (Success!)
      - Assuming no combat advantage for Gor (for not running), a 20 will miss my AC of 21.
      - Varg and Thak are now marked by Søffå.

      Having already anticipated the hobgoblin's action, Søffå unleashes his prepared strike against his enemies, sweeping his sword and creating an arc of force:

Glad you overwrote the mark, because now I get to do this to you 

As Thak stands back up, his body and face still on fire in spots, making him look that much more menacing as he rises back to his full height. Towering over Bhrim and Soff'a. "THAK MAD! THAK SMASH!" the ogre roars as he repeatedly brings down his club slamming the ground around Soff'a and connecting several times. The shield of runes protecting Soff'a flares angrily against the assault and while it holds off most of the ones that do land, it can't stop the shear power and size of the Ogre wielding a petrified tree branch.

That is a solid hit.  Damage marked.
I thought 8 damage is not so bad...  until I looked at that roll - +11 to hit, better of two rolls, and 2d10+5 damage???
I do not need to do the math to understand that I am going to get crushed if I stay here long....

As Atanos starts to move away from them toward the larger fray, the two hobgoblins take advantage of the situation and hack at Atanos' backside. Gab connects once with the wild swinging longsword.

[Melblen_Cairn]

Granite moves in on the Ogre weapon leading the way. "Ye picked the wrong Dwarves to be messin with!" he shouts keeping a more tactical mind slipping in opposite of the rest of the group. He furiously swings he warhammer connecting solidly several times. Thak leaves several more openings as he tries to fend off the new attacking Dwarf.

That is before. AoO's are interrupts. Those two hobgoblins are on the other hobgoblins init and just appeared and charged you just before your turn. So they were right behind you as you left the square.  But you only get hit once for 5 damage and you are gaining 9 from your power I think so its kind of negated.

Everyn

(click to show/hide)

Everyn took 5 points of damage after that charge from Rug. You may also just want to shift one square away or use your teleport racial ability. If you just move to T33 you will take an AoO which will happen before you get to cast. Shift is nice for avoiding the AoO but if you also wanted to cover the extra squares Fey Step may be better option. With teleports you can think in three dimensions too and go up.

      Søffå stands his ground amidst the explosions, shielding Atanos; he sweeps his sword once more, creating another arc of deadly force, and focuses his shielding energy on the remaining hobgoblin:

Suq spins on his attack, backpedals just a bit while muttering a curse and looking the hobgoblin in the eye. He unleashes a blast in the enemies direction. Black light explodes through the hobgoblins center, falling dead to the ground immediately.

As Everyn steps away from his attackers they take advantage of the apparently defenseless weakling elf in front of them and both attack. While Wad hacks wildly missing by a wide margin, Rug's more measured stroke lands. Everyn's silvery bolt burns a hole in Rug's head as it screams through.
