PBEM - Episode 426. Great Goblin Battle and Fire.

With the death of Lannis and the number of goblins still not at zero, the player running the dwarf who had been holding the potion of Regeneration decided to NOT take a chance and drink it! Good call!

Follows:

FOUR HUNDRED TWENTY SIX

(I/C)

”Thor’s balls,” Kovid swore, reaching into his bag and drawing out his potion of regeneration. He dodged to the left avoiding another swing as Lyra was running up to help, and popped the top. “I was saving this but... green shits aren’t getting me today!”

From the hall, Wyn called out while fighting the goblin there, “Offop’s down! We got one tryin’ ta get away!”

Swallowing the juice, the dwarf asked with shock, “Pink hat down?”

“Yea, the idiot is down,” Lyra frowned, stepping in front of Kovid and swinging her Flail hard, driving the goblin there back (>+4 to hit, White 19). Two solid hits taught it the error of its ways (1d6+2 Damage, White 2+2=4 Damage!) and then the battle was on. Abraxas was snatching up the crossbow and looping it on his belt, body still humming with the haste potion.

From the hall Wyn admonished Brendon, “Du Lac! Stop lootin ye “scout” en help me wit dis bitch!”

“MEDIC!!” the ex pirate called out.

(Regeneration potion: Duration 1d6: Yellow 3 = 30 rounds. Heal? Yellow 5: 2 – Heal 2 Damage!)

"SeñorKouvonosTieneDolorMucho!AltoQueGob!HacesEllaMuerteMucho!” Abraxas called out from the Sitting Room, bringing his Scythe back around again.

“Wait,” Lyra called down the hall. “He’s like... down down?” 

“Oui!” “He’s not talking and there’s a hole in the middle of his chest where his heart used to be!”

Still swinging, Lyra grew pale. “Guys, I think Lannis is dead. Like... really dead.”

“No shite!”

Her features grew angry as the moment passed. “That bitch! I was supposed to kill that faggot. That was supposed to be my kill!”

Abraxas finally ran up, weapon flashing at the goblin Lyra was fighting. “NecessitamosFinishEseLuchaAmigos. DespuesDeNecessitamosDormir. EsQueGobPutaMuerte?" His Scythe struck (>+8 to hit, Blue 8), cutting the wounded goblin full across the midsection and then tearing up (1d8+4 Damage, Blue 7+4=11 Damage and killed!!), blood spraying across the Fighter as the goblin died howling.

“Don’t let that bitch get away,” Lyra called out.

“Trying not to!”

Abraxas then swung his scythe slashwise under the edge of the door at the goblin’s underneath (<+8 to hit, -4 cover, Blue 2), making them scream in terror and wiggle around, but he did fail to hit either one of them.

Wyn and his one image swung hard at the pink hat wearing goblin (>+6 to hit, Orange 14), striking her a few times (1d6+2 Damage, Orange 1+2=3 Damage!) making her hiss in pain, but she refused to go down, eyes darting about, looking for an escape or a way to end the fight.

“I’m going to skin her alive and wear her fucking scalp as a makeshift wig!” Lyra continued to shout.

“Great!” Brendon called back, not seeing an easy way to get a backstab so resorted to plugging up the doorway and joining the elf in hoping to end the goblin girl’s foray (<+4 to hit, Red 2), slashing at her to keep her back but not landing anything more than a few cursory scratches.

(Initiative 6 vs 6 – reroll. Party Steel 1 vs Enemy red/black 4)

The two goblin’s under the door finally (Dex check +2 bonus: Black 3..Black 9) were able to drag themselves out from under the doorway and shaking their heads clear found themselves beset on three sides by the ragged looking Kovid, the murderous looking Lyra, and the blood soaked looking Abraxas. With teeth bared and weapons high, they engaged the three warrirors.

Meanwhile the wounded goblin girl was hoping to slip past the elf and scout, stabbing and shoving (Combative Dex check: Brown 8 (under 4) vs Orange 14 (under 4) PLUS aid by Brendon adds another two (under 6) – denied.) but couldn’t make a hole large enough for her to escape.
