Estella Porazio

Estella let out a sigh of relief as her beautiful robe was saved from the dreadful stain, though the goblin carcass around the battlefield had left her horrified. Of course, Estella knew that she wouldn't have survived if it wasn't for the brave warriors. "Oh no... Look at the mess we have done!" Still, she lamented over all the death that happened. "But more of these horrible creatures? What ever shall we do?" The dress maker asked worriedly.

Lanna

Lanna heard the wizard's comments about the gaudy dress she was wearing. Lanna didn't understand how women could become so attached to something so unwieldy and confining....but they always did.

"We go kill more goblins miss. Please take cover...

Let's go Kneecap! Lanna exclaimed as she started to run down the street and motioned for him to follow. Lanna didn't want to take much time dawdling...she knew her size advantage wouldn't last long.

Premature Bonfire-lation


Just as Lanna is about to run down the street to find more goblins, a cart full of fuel for the evening bonfire at the south of the town square burst into a furious flame.

OOCOh noes! What could have happened to the cart?!?
Roll for initiative if you haven't yet…

This is a psuedo surprise round... since you can't see what you are fighting yet, you can't really FIGHT...

OH! And everyone gets 100xp for the last fight!

Taika (Nevin)


"Fire! Anyone, help. Fire!" Taika runs towards the fountain, looking widely for a scoop of some kind, a bucket.

Estella Porazio

"Fire? Where?" Estella didn't notice the fire, until Taika brought it to attention. "Oh no! Not the bonfire fuel!" The dressmaker gasped and held her face in terror. Walking toward burning cart, Estella waved her hands toward it, and conjured some bubbly water above the fire. "I hope this works..." She said, as the soapy water poured onto the burning cart.

Elenion Valdemar
Rather alarmed to realize that he had just killed the last of the goblins, Elenion said nothing when the rotund cleric suddenly showed up and began healing his companions. Taking a moment to compose himself, the half-elf was jerked suddenly back to reality by the cries of "Fire!". Elenion had only seen one serious fire during his lifetime, a blaze in one of the poorer quarters of Magnimar that was kept under control only by a frantic action from the city watch and volunteers, but the aftermath of that disaster had certainly been a grim enough sight by itself.

"I don't see anything near the wagon!" Elenion called out, running over to the scene of the fire while weaving through his less agile companions. Keeping in mind the dwarf's prudent advice, he spends most of his energy looking around for perpetrators or ambushers, only giving the fire itself a brief-once over to make sure that there was nothing more at risk than a wagon and a load of firewood.

Urko

Urko takes a few running steps towards the burning cart then pauses, looking around. "It's wood for the bonfire. Let it burn, just keep it away from everything else. I don't trust it, keep yer eyes up!"

Axe at the ready, he peers carefully around, keeping an eye on the surroundings.

Lanna

Lanna was running toward the area of the fire when it started....and she continued running that direction.

Goblin Pyros - Round 1 start



The group runs around like headless chickens trying to put out the fire.

Urko's warning to look for ambush is well taken. As Estella's spell of soapy water cascades over the flaming cart, Elenion notices small green figures moving around behind and under the cart. Before he has a chance to yell "GOBLINS", shrieks of rage and disappointment arise from behind the fizzling flames, and 5 goblins, most of them bearing dogslicers and torches, move around the wagon.

As the goblins notice the heroes arrayed before them, their shrieks turn to shrieks of delight, with giggles thrown in as well.

OOCInitiative Order:
20 Urko
17 Elenion
16 Lanna (7 rounds enlarged left, or end of this combat, whichever comes first)
15/12 Geeba Geebas
07 Taika
03 Estella

Urko, Elenion, and Lanna may have their actions posted now. Taika and Estella will post their actions after the next update.

Seeing more of the horrid green creatures, the seamstress didn't do anything aside from screaming.

Urko

His suspicions confirmed, Urko take a few odd, jogging steps, then turns all of his momentum into a rising sweep with the axe. Nearly three hundred pounds of force tear into the goblin, flinging it like a rag doll. Grinning through the bloodspatter, he turns to eye the others.

"Who's next?!"

Lanna

"These two are mine! Lanna exclaimed as she ran at the two goblins on the opposite side of the wagon from the dwarf. Swinging the giant weapon in a circle over her head, the goblins started to wonder if they weren't in over their heads....the soon would find that to be entirely true.

As Lanna arrived next to the goblins, the mighty Earthbreaker came crashing down near the goblin closest to the cart, but it deftly averted the swing.

Elenion Valdemar

Quick to perceive the goblins and switch into a defensive stance, Elenion is slower to react to the new wave of opponents. Unwilling to charge the mob of goblins pouring out from behind the flaming wagon himself, he turns and literally looks to his warrior companions to lead the attack. They don't disappoint and, after the 4' dwarf and the 12' barbarian woman charge into battle, Elenion gladly follows them in himself. Respecting Lanna's request, he aims towards the left side of the wagon, trying to work his way around the battle to flank the enemy and perhaps attack the chanting apparent leader of the goblins.

Weaving around Urko as the fighter smites one of their frantic little assailants, Elenion squeezes in between the burning cart and the remaining two goblins, climbing over the fallen body of their companion. Dodging and tumbling to stay of of reach of their sharp little blades while trying to ignore the heat of the burning wood to his back, Elenion tried to distract the quieter of the two goblins with a wild flurry of useless rapier strikes, calling out to Urko, "Go for the chanter! I'll get around to the back!"

Goblin Pyros - Mid round 1


Estella's scream rips through the air as the goblins emerge giggling from hiding, but Urko ignores it as he moves up to the group of goblins to the left of the wagon, practically obliterating the goblin nearest the wagon.

Elenion moves up and somersaults with a twist and a half in mid-air past the remaining goblin and waves his rapier around trying to distract the remaining goblin facing off with Urko. The flames on the cart behind him are slowly sputtering as the soapy water slowly moves to the wood that had not been covered in the initial deluge.

The towering Lanna moves up to the goblins on the other side of the cart and swings her earthbreaker at the ugly little creatures. Her aim is a bit off as she is not quite used to the perspective of being so large, and her earthbreaker lives up to its name as it slams into the ground, cracking and even pulverizing cobblestones. The blow shifts the cart, and soapy water moves over more of the still burning wood, and a piece of firewood near the top starts bouncing down the pile.

The goblins facing her are a bit shaken by her blow to the ground, but they still giggle and shriek as they stab their torches at the redhead. They are a bit to timid though, and their torches don't even get close to her.

The two goblins drop their torches as the one left facing Urko screams out something that SOUNDS like "Oh my god! They killed Kenny!" as he swings his dogslicer at Urko with all his might, slicing into his leg. (4 damage)

The female goblin behind it shrieks and starts casting a spell at Urko. Something about a chicken crossing a boot? Eating a boot? Urko pays no heed, whatever the silly thing was trying to say!

As the warchanter concentrates on Urko, Elenion lashes out with his rapier, trying to stop her. But that piece of firewood tumbling down the pile pinwheels off the cart and smacks him in the shoulder, throwing his aim WAY off. If anything had been standing behind her, the rogue MIGHT have hit them!

OOCInitiative Order:
07 Taika
03 Estella
20 Urko
17 Elenion
16 Lanna (6 rounds enlarged left, or end of this combat, whichever comes first)
15/12 Geeba Geebas

The goblin warchanter's hideous laughter spell failed miserably to affect Urko… What is it with dwarfs??

Estella Porazio

Estella had soon stopped screaming, but she was still feeling faint from all the violence that was going around her. "Oh dear, what a horrible, horrible day!" She spoke to no one in particular, with the back of her hand on her forehead.

Her own cat familiar, Onyx, tried to tug her mistress' robe toward the direction of Elenion and Urko, but Estella paid no heed to it.

OoCEstella is delaying her actions until... hm, until it makes sense for her to act, I guess.
