PBEM, Episode 19 - Gob and Hob Kitchen

NINETEEN

(I/C)

Kovid whirled his war hammer overhead as the goblin was screaming in Abraxas’ face, and swung it broadsides with all his might (>+2 to hit, Yellow 14) crushing the goblin’s chest and folding it almost in half as it flew across the chamber broken and dead (1d8+1 Damage, Yellow 7: 8 Damage and killed!). “Manling,” he yelled to Abraxas, “the others have the one on the chair, get the one behind the table if you can!”

As he was calling out, Lyra had already stepped to the side and let fly another sling stone (>+3 to hit, White 15), cracking the goblin in the chin, splitting the lower part its face open (1d3 Damage, White 5: 3 Damage) and causing it to stagger back.

And then Wyn’s arrow struck the goblin (=+5 to hit, Orange 8) in the chest (1d6 Damage, Orange 3 Damage and killed!) and it finished its fall with a crash to the floor.

While all this was going on, Abraxas was still singing, his song transmuting from the dwarven red rain chant to, “Red Rain from Green Skin, bastards' blood wipes sin.” He gathered his feet beneath him, gave the table across the refuse strewn room a hard look, and then tossed his sword to Kovid and locked his shield in front of him and started to MOVE. “Bludgeon Flesh, break bone. Make Devils atone.” He gathered speed, stomping heavily as the goblin behind the table frantically tried to get a stone in time to sling. “Never stop, strike true, goblins gore in view.” He struck the table HARD, smashing it aside (<Str check, -4 penalty, Blue 11) and into the  greenskin (Dam 3) and then laid into the goblin, “No one is safe, not sons or daughters, until every goblin lies slaughtered!” (>+5 to hit -2 penalty, Blue 19. 1d2+2 Damage, Blue 3: 3 Damage and killed!) bludgeoning  it to death with his pistoning fists.

While Wyn, Brendon, and Lannis were ready to come into the room, grabbing the lantern (WMC: Red/Black 1) they could hear some yelling in goblin coming from the door on the right, sounding like it was from a distance away – slamming doors, armored and booted figured angrily coming, and according to Wyn (>Int check +2 bonus elf, Orange 13) they were deeper than normal goblin voices, most likely hobgoblin, and said, “If those little ankle biters are screaming like fucking moron for no reason, I swear to Iuz that Corfard will have them fertilizing the garden by nightfall! Lets go.” Followed by the sounds of weapons unsheathing.

The three of them spilled into the room, lantern with them, and shut the door to the KITCHEN, filling the rest of the group that something…most likely HOBGOBLINS…were coming. And they were expecting to find just the goblins in here.

Time now is 12:01
