While eating with Zenovia, I remark to her on the strong taste of the curried salmon. "I've never tasted anything quite like this before. Does she always serve such great food?" from which we take off in a conversation for awhile.

At the lunch I taste the various dishes, admiring the way the taste of the Peppercorn venison, avoiding the Salmon, not being much of one for spicy foods or fish, giving some of the food to Freohr who lies next to my chair while I eat.

Continuing on, the Festival Continues. Also attending, two half-elves have been keeping mostly to the back of the crowd. Growing more accustomed to the animal, the people are still giving Freohr space. Jubahl and Zenovia continue to talk, as well as enjoy the company at the festival.

A sharp retort, like the crack of distant thunder, slices through the excited crowd as the sun’s setting rays paint the western sky. A stray dog that has crawled under a nearby wagon to sleep starts awake, and the buzz of two dozen conversations quickly hushes as all heads turn toward the central podium, where a beaming Father Zantus has taken the stage. He clears his throat, takes a breath to speak, and suddenly a woman’s scream slices through the air. A few moments later, another scream rises, then another. Beyond them, a sudden surge of strange new voices rises—high-pitched, tittering shrieks that sound not quite human. The crowd parts and something low to the ground races by, giggling with disturbing glee as the stray dog gives a pained yelp and then collapses with a gurgle, its throat cut open from ear to ear. As blood pools around its head, the raucous sound of a strange song begins, chanted from shrill, scratchy voices. The crowd begins to panic and disperse. However, at least for the time being, you cannot run nor charge due to the panicking townspeople. Jubaul: You see that the shape that raced by and killed the dog now hides at the edge of the wagon—a single creature, licking the blood from its blade as it looks excitedly at the crowd, seeking out a new target. | Surprise Round: Goblins Jubaul |
Knowledge: Lorania, Cale, and Malik will recognize these creatures as Goblins. Jubaul recognizes the creatures, but can't seem to remember their name... It looks like the blades they are wielding are simply pieces of junk metal tied to handles. Those who recognize the Goblins also know these distinctive weapons are called Dogslicers. | | | Goblin 1 (South) | Goblin 2 | Goblin 3 (North) |
Goblin 1 moves from the wagon to the podium, attempting to use the larger structure as some sort of cover. Goblins 2 and 3 move over the tables with food still laid out on them, one climbs up onto the table, while the other gets distracted by a plate of salmon and begins to stuff the food unceremoniously into its pockets. | Surprise Round: Goblins Jubaul |
Normal Initiative:Malik Goblins Cale Lorania Jubaul

Jubaul pulls out a starknife, holding it in front of him in one hand (toward goblin 1), while moving Zenovia behind him protectively. "Stay near me, I'll keep you safe." (readied action to attack any goblins that get too close)

The crowd begins to thin further, no visibility problems, however running is still not possible due to the panicking townspeople. You may charge, but no more than 30 ft. Looking around wildly, the goblin at the podium notices Jubaul standing bravely against the chaos. "Die, Longshank! Eeee!" He screams and charges at the ready Desnan. As he gets close, Jubaul strikes out wildly with his starknife, but the distractions of the passing people must be too much as his slash runs wild and misses. Sadly, the goblin in not so unfortunate. The dogslicer hits its mark, causing Zenovia to scream out in fear for her companion. The goblin that climbed up onto the table, looks around gleefully at the people running around the square. He sets his eyes on the tall Shoanti man standing with a wolf. He turns to his hungry companion and yaps out some words in Goblin. The other goblin has continued to stuffing his pockets with food, going so far as to climb up onto the table to reach more. That is, until his companion catches his attention and points out a new target. They seem to decide to have target practice. The goblin obsessed with food throws the tray of food that he had been holding, while the other seems to have found a carving knife... and both hit their mark. Delighted by their success, the goblins cackle with glee. Jubaul takes 4 damage from goblin's dogslicer. Malik takes 2 nonlethal damage and 3 normal damage as he is struck by a the large tray and knife. | Round 1: -> Malik [Delay] <- Jubaul [Readied] Goblins Cale Lorania |

Cale charges goblin (2), shouldering people or pushing them past him to seek cover and get away, essentially boosting himself forward while directing people behind him before pouring all the momentum of his charge into his bastard sword (two handed) in one great swing up across the goblin on the table.
Attack... 19 + 8 = 27 crit threaten 13 + 8 = 21 to confirm
Damage [was written unclearly! 2.0 habits die hard, I did actually roll a 10 and a 10]... 10 + 10 + 5x2 = 30

Busy trying to sort out the chaos, he finally gets a clear line of sight at the goblins, just in time to get struck by a flying food tray and to have a carving knife jam into his shoulder. Seeing a man with a fairly large sword charing at one of the goblins, he turns, directing his attention at the other one. Dropping his quarterstaff, he reaches over his head and pulls his shield off of his back, slipping his left arm through the straps. As he pulls the club from his side, he raises the shield and motions towards the other Goblin (3). "Attack Freohr." And with that the wolf leaps forward, dodging through the legs and feet of the crowd, pushing through to the goblin, lunging at its throat.
ooc: Pull my shield and club, raising my AC to 19. Free action command Freohr to attack.
Freohr Charges. 19+5=24 to hit. 1d6(4)+1=5 Damage
Free Trip Attempt if hit: 16+1=17

Moving quickly into action, Cale surges forward and cleanly slices the giddy, dancing goblin in two. Before it even has time to react to its comrade being sliced down, the other goblin on the tables is grabbed roughly by Freohr. With a growl and a twist, the wolf easily manages to remove the goblin from its pedestal. Screaming as it falls, it lands hard on the ground with a heavy thud. The scream is stopped abruptly and the goblin does not continue moving. | Round 1: -> Malik [Delay] <-Jubaul [Readied] Goblins 2 & 3 Cale <-Malik [Un-Delay] Freohr Lorania |

Lorania slips through the crowd using the rush of people to keep herself hidden. As she approaches the remaining goblin, she draws her short sword.
13+7=20 to hide

Spot: 14+3=17 (I no see her)
Jubaul continues to stand his ground, protecting Zenovia. "Get away from here with the others, I'll keep it from you! I'll find you afterwards!" He holds his position, taking a more defensive stance while the girl gets away. (Full defense)

The crowd has dispersed completely, there are no longer any penalties involved with movement. Lorania's Hiding: Currently, None of the PC's notice Lorania, she has successfully hidden, although this will only last until she next moves (Without the cover of the crowd, she has no way to move while continuing to hide). Zenovia looks around, at the chaos that is befalling the town. She quickly decides to politely ignore Jubaul's suggestion. "I would feel safer here with you...", She confides in her companion. Cackling with glee, the goblin proceeds to ignore Jubauls attempts at bravery as well. Unafraid of the starknife that failed to hit it earlier, it instead focuses on the frightened girl hiding behind the man. Chasing Zenovia around Jubaul for a short while, he quickly becomes frustrated and slashes out at the man getting in his way. Luckily, though, he misses. | Round 2: Jubaul Goblins 2 & 3 Cale Malik Lorania |

Cale shakes his head once after looking at the blood dripping from his sword. He turns, sees the still standing goblin harassing more innocent people and begins another charge, racing towards it at full speed he takes a running horizontal swing at the goblin.
Attack... 10 + 8 = 18 to hit Damage... 4 + 5 = 9 damage

A second goblin falls to Cale's blade, and finally the immediate threats subside. [You are now free to interact] Zenovia sighs with relief as the toothy menace is taken down, she holds onto Jubaul for a moment. "Are you alright?, that thing got you..." The town is starting to fall into chaos, you can hear distant screams for the town gaurd. You also hear the excited giggles and shouts of the invading goblins. You also have the chance to make out what the goblins are singing... Goblins chew and goblins bite. Goblins cut and goblins fight. Stab the dog and cut the horse, Goblins eat and take by force!
Goblins race and goblins jump. Goblins slash and goblins bump. Burn the skin and mash the head, Goblins here and you be dead!
Chase the baby, catch the pup. Bonk the head to shut it up. Bones be cracked, flesh be stewed, We be goblins! You be food! |
