Awesome. Never played any published adventures before. So anything is new to me.
I want to retcon any plans for Oloric. Did he see the heavy bags and what appeared to be gold? If so I realized he'd react differently to be in character. I'll say more once its his actual turn but he won't be going down the ladder.

Hearing Malik's warning, Blackarrow has a deep frown cross his face. For a moment, things almost seemed to be going well, but then the drakes ran loose, the hobgoblins arrived, and apparently now there's even more trouble. This was definitely a step above his usual fare of thugs and homicidal maniacs. Everyone definitely needed to regroup, but that could be a challenge with the goblins' arrows coming for them with each step they take.
Initiative: 15.
OOC: How long would the run be to the next tower? I'm trying to measure it out, but I don't trust myself on this one. Also, could we use the backside of the tower as total cover if the distance from towertop to towertop is too much?
P.S. Glad to hear you had a good time! |

Oloric sees gold spill from one bag and hears the beautiful clink of money.
The towers are 30' apart and each is a 20' square.

Izzy: [Init: 6] Fargrim: [Init: 1]
[Since pretty much everybody's going before both of them, I'll hold off on deciding what to do yet.]

Seeing the Drakes Paelius fires 2 frost bolts at the first Drake. The Drake roars at the wizard whose bolt strike freezes his joints. The Drake steps on a pressure plate and the statue and gargoyles burst flames over him. The second Drake jumps back the fire just barely burning his flesh.

Malik is standing behind Paelius and Fargrim in the tower. The slowed Drake is unable to further. The second Drake continues forward leaping as he triggers 2 more burst of flame. He reaches the doorway and bites Paelius (raging extraordinary hit) 10 damage and grapples Paelius in his teeth. With the second attack he chews Paelius a little pulling him out of the door to the gatehouse (8 damage).
The gnome runs further north down a hall on the other side of the barracks.

"Bet you wished you had gone up the ladder now don't you!" Malik remarks.

At -2hp Paelius is unable to appreciate the humor.

Izzy: On his action at 6, Izzy shouts "You'll get yours, half-pint!" at the fleeing gnome and then runs back across the courtyard [Perception: 17] and backstabs the drake [Attack total: 23, damage total: 13].
Fargrim: On his action at 1, Fargrim's gonna step out into the courtyard and hit Paelius with a Cure Wounds [5+3+3=11 hp regained, which should put him at 11 hp].

The barracks goblins move down the hall and start across the trap room to the courtyard. Only the one guard has a shortbow and she stops and fires at Izzy. She misses instead hitting the rage drake. (rolled a 1 critical miss at pc in melee. Then rolled a 18 to hit the rage drake.

At their turn the hobgoblins solder to the right of the leader lifts a large horn and places it on his shoulder.
The leader speaks,"In the bags are gold enough to pay for your time. Take it and leave or we blow the horn of alarm. You will be facing my battalion of hobgoblin warriors and hundreds of goblins. I understand the want for gold. So take it and leave this place.

[Looking at the map, those dudes should be within longbow range. Hey, Batman, think you can hit that horn from where you are? Or at least the dude carrying it? Just a thought for next round.]

OOC: Sorry for the wait, I didn't realize that with Paelius out I'd be up next. Also, seeing as everybody else declared actions and mine would probably be more helpful AFTER the hobgoblins act, I'll delay in order to react to them.
Seeing a gap in the goblins' fire, Blackarrow rushes from tower two to three, taking cover as best he can. He hears the hobgoblin's offer and thinks to himself They're attempting a bribe? Who do they think I am, one of the Golden Lions? Unfortunately for them, I'm not doing this for gold. However, I'll be happy to take it from their corpses. He peeks out for a moment, unleashing an arrow at each of the hobgoblin minions before ducking back down to relative safety. He doesn't even see the two hobgoblins go down, felled by his arrows.
Attack: 25! Extra success. 11 damage on the first shot. Second shot is 26, for 8 damage. Adding Menacing Attack, which boosts the damage by 5, so that's two dead hobgoblins. Seeing as the leader just had his two men shot down right next to him, I don't suppose I can apply the Wis save of 13 vs fear on him? It's definitely not part of the power as written, I was just wondering if it worked in this particular scenario.
