Tishe' and Snout (Rounds 18-22) d20+5=24 d8=1 d8+7=15
Thursday January 12th, 2006 11:41:25 PM
"Who is on the Northern Wall? Do we need to send anyone there?" Tishe' calls out.

Not being a tactician in any sense of the word, she stays where she is, her companion Snout at her side.

She guages the distance from the goblins, still waiting on spells to be more effective as the enemy comes nearer. But crossbow in hand, she lets fly another bolt, nicking a goblin in his charge (AC 24, Damage 1)

She continuously scans her field of view for invisible creatures or anything not looking like hordes of goblins attacking from the front. (Spot: See Invisible: 15)

Friday January 13th, 2006 8:20:10 AM
The pair of leopards continue striking targets at random throughout the goblin surge of attackers. The calls of the large cats are quickly drowned out by the pained screams of goblins. Peerimus is confident that the goblins are no more than what he has encountered before, None will live to cross the Spike Growth A growl to Shaylin and the leopards are off again to another target.

DM Kelly - round 24
Friday January 13th, 2006 4:21:53 PM
Upon word of another group of goblins, Kendry flies off to the Eastern side of the North wall. Nezamil, deciding that seeing is believing, casts a spell causing a crossbow bolt to glow brightly. Soon it is sailing to the North where it lands 250 feet from the wall. Goblins scatter and attempt to hide, but it is plain that they have been discovered. A word in a song from Kendry soon has rocks flying through the air towards the new goblin party. The rocks crash down upon them, killing many and causing the rest to scatter.

Peerimus and Shaylin still attack those goblins unlucky enough to stray, and they are quickly silenced.

Tishe wounds a goblin who howls in pain, yet advances with his comrades.

Airin kills two more goblins, taking advantage of the illumination that Erwen provides.

Lit by the light Erwen carries, you see that many goblins are grabbing dead goblins and carrying them to the area where the spikes have been found. The dead bodies are thrown to the ground, where other goblins walk on top of them to throw more dead goblins. They are building a path of dead to walk upon.

Saturday January 14th, 2006 4:02:49 AM
Sheepishly, Tishe' looks at Airin, "Oh...yeah. I must have been shuttlecocked to forget."

Seeing the goblins building a bridge of bodies gives Tishe' an idea. "What if we let them build the bridge and then when there are a whole bunch crowded on the narrow strip, we put a barrier on the far side? The catapults would cut a lot of goblin threads!"

Aiming carefully, she lets fly another bolt, striking true (AC 17 , Damage 5)

She continuously scans her field of view for invisible creatures or anything not looking like hordes of goblins attacking from the front. (Spot: See Invisible: 10)

Gilan [wildshape: owl, greater magic fang, barkskin, longstrider]
Sunday January 15th, 2006 8:37:56 PM
Gilan flies on over the area taking a gander at what is available and wonder where to drop in at. He looks for a rather large concentration of goblins so that he can have some fun as well.

Spells
0th(6): detect magic, read magic, guidance(2), mending(2)

Kelly - Forgot to put it actually in my post that Gilan dropped a spike stones on the eastern side in front of the goblins. I am also unsure if the message spell would work while in an animal form. Could I get a ruling on that so that I know if I needed to use a shapechange to take back the owl form?

Got spike stones. Message spell only works if they speak owl, since it is a whispered message. Also, not sure if owls are so good at whispering. - DM Kelly

Raising his crossbow the dwarf takes aim at the now illuminated goblins on the eastern side. "Stay still ya squirmy beast," grumbles Nezamil as he fires two shots at the approaching goblins.

Kendry continues his course parallel to the walls, reaching T120 this round. [Could we get an idea of the current positioning of the goblins to the east on the map? And an update on the westward goblins, and character positions, I suppose :-)]

Well landed, lads and lassies all
They took it in the shorts and fall

The last couplet gives up-to-date aiming directions for the catapult crew.

He fires off two arrows down on the group towards the east (note: rolls carried over from post of Friday December 30th, 2005 6:42:05 AM):

Airin and Fioni 2d6(6+3)=9
Monday January 16th, 2006 5:40:31 AM
"HAHARRR! That corridor they are making is PERFECT for a little bonnfire!!!"

Airin waves her hands and summons a Flaming Sphere for the second time!

About 20ft directly in front of the Goblins who are making a bridge a tiny spark lights up. Quickly it becomes a roaring sphere of fire! The light flickers dangerously upon the razor sharp spikes and illuminates the Goblins that are trying to cross the spikes by making a typically ant sollution to a problem...

Slowly and steadily the Flaming Sphere starts to roll towards the corridor crashlanding into the ones in front setting them ablaze!

Erwen shrieks madly enraged above the goblins and greatly enjoyes this battle. Accustomed to the bright light below her she flies from left to right over the battlefield. Trying to see if nowhere else they are building such bridges to cross the spikes.

Rolls:
flaming sphere= 9HP to the first Goblin it hits. The rest will probably start to catch fire soon.

flaming sphere: round 1 out of 5

Tishe' and Snout
Tuesday January 17th, 2006 2:02:50 AM
Seeing the futile attack of the goblins, Tishe's face is saddened by the anger that it takes to create such waste of life.

"Why do you hate us so?" she calls to the goblins. "Can we not live without rancor? I have a dream, that all creatures are created equal, and all can be free from oppression!"

Yet she fears that her voice will fall on deaf ears.

Bralin (AC 26, hp 96/96, Air Walk)
Tuesday January 17th, 2006 9:29:04 AM
Bralin looks out at the scattering goblins some 250' directly to his north. Mayhap he can take advantage.

Telling Nezamil, "I will return shortly," the dwarf steps off the wall and trots forward. He does not descend, nor does he carry light.

He does pull out his axe though.

DM Kelly - round 25 d20+3=17 d20+3=14 d20+3=5 d20+3=5 d20+3=12 d20+3=6
Tuesday January 17th, 2006 4:32:23 PM
Tishe sees the death and destruction of the invading goblins with a great insight. Why everyone cannot treat each other equally and live together is a question without an answer, even when the answer seems easy and obvious. For some reason, the attack of the monsters correlates to the putting of souls within the creatures. Prior to that, they behaved much like most animals, killing for food and territory. (OOC: great message in connection with MLK day!)

Tishe, as dismayed as she is in the destruction, does what she feels she must. Another bolt flies, striking a wounded goblin and dropping him to the earth.

Peerimus and Shaylin again strike fear into those goblins who stray, and are quickly upon two creatures, instantly killing them. This time however there is a shout from a goblin, and soon six javelins fly your direction. They all miss.

Gilan flies toward the goblins on the East, dropping spike stones in front of the group (OOC: let me know which area is spiked).

Nezamil fires two bolts at the Eastern goblins, hitting one and dropping him cold. The fear in the goblin's eyes at having been found so soon is clear.

Kendry flies toward the East singing as he goes. He pulls up and shoots with his bow, killing two goblins with arrows. He takes note of their position, and the sound of catapults cranking can be heard from behind the walls.

Podo, poor Podo. He is so deadly in close combat, he waits for something to do.

Bralin becomes nervous with waiting, and marches off through the air to meet the goblins on the field.

Airin does the most, seeing that the goblins are making a bridge of the dead, she sets her Flaming Sphere down upon them. The front goblin has no choice but to veer to the side. The burning sphere and the spikes he runs to are too much, he drops to the ground dead. The bridge seems to be blocked by fire.

Wednesday January 18th, 2006 3:25:03 AM
Kendry flies to Z120. He fires two arrows at 'Gi' (giant?)

You just shot Gilan! - Kelly . . . [Oops! -Kim]

[Again, using December 30 rolls for this round.] With his compound short bow he fires two arrows, hitting (with slight adjustments for one range increment longer than earlier rolled) AC 35-2=33: 16 hp; AC 24-2=22: 22 hp. Spot check: 15 (also rolled Dec 30).

He continues his song.

Creation may have equal been
But hearts choose weal or else choose woe
Lest woe prevail and evil win
We'll fight with sword and wit and bow

He gives coordinates to the catapultists.

Wednesday January 18th, 2006 3:52:46 AM
Seeing Airin block the 'goblin causeway' with the Flaming Sphere lets Tishe' continue to ply the oncoming horde with her crossbow, but to little affect (AC 10)

Snout, having little to do, grins at Podo, the other member of his human's group who doesn't seem to be able to do much right now.

Airin and Erwen
Wednesday January 18th, 2006 7:03:31 AM
Carefully positioning the Flaming Sphere and rolling from left to right Airin makes sure the Flaming Sphere keeps any Goblin from crossing the "bridge".

So far they have managed to keep the Goblins from getting close to the Oshir house, but with fear Airin gazes at the long steadily marching Goblin Horde and dispite Kendry's inspiring songs, Airin thinks to herself: "Oh dear Mother Nature... such foul creatures... so much hathred... how must we live through this dark hour..."

"I'm not going to waste all my spells and keep some till they break through!" Airin says to those standing close to her."

"We need to consider how our last line of defence will look like. Just take a look how outnumbered we are. Do we have a way to create an illusion that these walls are extremely well defended by countless men? Anyone?"

Then, Airin takes off her backpack and takes out the two oil flasks and both tanglefoor bags she holds. Then she takes two pieces of cloth, drenches them in oil and puts them like a cork in the Oil Flasks, ready to be lit and thrown later... should things go wrong... She places both 'molotov cocktails' and the tanglefoot bags in front of her.

there no chance she can even think about firing a bolt at the moment :-)

"Would we be able to create the illusion of a well defended wall with hay, helmets and bows? Do you think it would resemble a guard, wearing a helmet carrying a bow?!?" she asks to no one in particular...

Throught the dying gurgle of the goblin in his claws, Peerimus hears a far more commnading shout. Soon after, six javelins sink into the area about him and Shaylin. Sharp eyes and sharper ears single out the one who gave the order. [Listen nat 20,26 Spot 24 Handle animal 22]

With a loud TWANG the catapults release and rocks fly over the wall towards the Eastern goblins. Crashing down upon them, the secret second assault team is almost decimated. Less than half remain alive, and those who run find the ground is turned to spikes. Many run less than 20 feet and fall dead with injuries.

Kendry flies toward them singing his song of courage, and pulls his bow up to fire arrows. In the nick of time, he realizes what he thought to be a giant is really Gilan in owl form. He adjusts his aim and drops two more goblins with arrows protruding from their chests.

Tishe, saddened by the goblin's hate tries to kill yet another. She misses.

Airin seems distraught by the magnitude of the onslaught, yet is able to keep her flaming sphere positioned to keep goblins from crossing upon the dead. The sphere hits a goblin who attempts it, and he falls upon the spikes.

Peerimus and Shaylin look to see a large goblin who is barking orders. They decide to rush him, and find he is well defended. Javelins fly as they move toward him. Three javelins hit Peerimus (10 HP damage) and one hits Shaylin (2 HP damage). Nevertheless, they reach the creature and are upon him. He crumbles under the attack. Four nearby goblins swing morningstars, and one connects with Peerimus (2 HP damage). Goblins start swarming towards the leopards.

Podo is lost in thought, waiting still.

Bralin continues advancing towards the decimated Eastern goblins. There are perhaps a dozen left alive, but many seem wounded.

Nezamil makes quick work of one of the wounded, who drops with a bolt through the neck.

With the Eastern goblins almost destroyed and the Western goblins having trouble passing the spikes, it seems like victory may yet come.

"Airin", says the brown-haired girl, "I've can cast a spike growth to create another line if need be, as well as conjure several creatures for a short time to man the walls. Though I confess that I've never been able to cast even the simplest illusions."

"The greater fear that I have is this is too easy. With only goblins before us, I think that Gilan, Peerimus, and Kendry alone could stop these goblins. What if this is only a diversion?"

Thinking about her words, Tishe' turns around and scans the courtyard with her darkvision and invisibility sight. (Spot: See Invisible: 21)

Airin maintains mental connection with the Flaming Sphere and makes it advance very slowly an inch at the time as a menacing force prepares to slowly eat its prey.

"I can not hold on to this sphere for ever friends. Soon it will vanish and then the Goblins will be able to cross the bridge after all." (occ, sphere round 3 out of 5)

"Tische you could be right. This IS too easy... what about those tunnels we saw earlier? Do you reckon these evil forces have found a way to sneak into the Castle through tunnels??"

Like Tisch does, Airin turns around to check the inside of the Castle. Any chance they can contact residents of this place?

"Is there a tunnel system below this House?"

Gilan [wildshape: gorillon, greater magic fang, barkskin, longstrider]
Friday January 20th, 2006 12:04:12 AM
Gilan comes in low to the ground when he spots the trouble for his fellow druid. He is changing into his human form as he hits the ground, putting enough distance from himself and goblins to buy time.

His eyes flash though as his body begins to ripple again and soon in his place will be an 800 pound form armed gorillon. The grin that takes in his face is transfered almost perfectly to his new form and he will begin to launch himself towards the fight.

"Tische I can't leave that Flaming Sphere out of my sight or it will extinguish!"

"He you down there" Airin call out to the ones using the catapults, "are there any tunnels below this House?"

If they do mention them, Airin takes a worried look at Tische... "this can't be true... could this be a diversion..."

Podo, torn between being a pacifist or a fighter waits for events to unfold. Perhaps events will choose for him.

Thoughts turn to diversions and tunnels for Tishe and Airin. Tishe scans about the courtyard, and can see that those upon the other walls are fighting for their lives. Ladders appear over the top of the battlement, and are quickly thrown down. A few orcs and kobolds have made it to the top, and are ferociously fighting with the students there. You see that there are a few wounded students, and one who is down and not moving. A dark crimson red has spread through his robes.

Airin keeps an eye on the flaming sphere, keeping goblins from moving across the spikes. Meanwhile, she asks about tunnels, and the students with the catapults yells back.

"No tunnels, least none that I know of."

Kendry kills two more goblins, and now Bralin has appeared walking 30 feet above the ground. The few goblins that survive are running about below him, looking for cover.

Gilan, concerned about the attacks to Peerimus and Shaylin lands and turns to a gorillon. Ready to attack. Meanwhile, the damage to Peerimus and Shaylin is prevented by Stoneskin, and they continue to attack.

Kendry's arrows strike down two more as he continues his song, and flies to LL120.

As we wait the coming hordes
They, hard pressed by foes impatient
Need our help, both students, lords

AC 36: 21 hp; AC 21: 19 hp

Perhaps a few who wait at the walls might help on the edges of the adjacent walls, until their help is needed on our own walls, is the message that Kendry hopes to communicate to his friends not immediately engaged against the goblins.

The intense brown eyes don't see anything wrong with the courtyard, but plenty happening on the other walls!

"Our companions have the goblins well in hand", she tells Airin. "I've got to help the other walls. C'mon Podo, let's get shuttlecocked!"

She turns and moves with all possible speed along the battlements towards the Western Wall. Dropping her crossbow at her feet, she takes out her wand of Magic Missles to help clear some monsters off. (Double move 60')

Snout gamely waddles in his human's wake, grinning at the thought that kobolds are small enough, I wonder if they taste like chicken?

Constantly keeping an eye on her flaming Sphere (two rounds left), Airin watches Tische leave this part of the Oshir House to help defend the rest of it.

"Tische maybe indeed this wasn't a diversion, and our friends back there have done a fantastic job in keeping the enemy away from here. Just be ready to return should things go wrong. I'll give cover with my crossbow..."

This said, Airin watches for the first Orcs and Goblins she can spot. She aims and fires, hoping the protective fire will help the students back there...

The dwarfs eyes follow Bralin's advance his crossbow ready.

As Nezamil stands on the eastern side of the North wall he hears the sounds of battle to his left on the eastern wall and turns and looks as blood spills onto the stone. "i can't leave this side unattended but i fer sure can help dem out," growls the dwarf aloud.

Nezamil Clicks his heels of his boots (activating boots of speed ,free action)and quickly turns his heavy repeating crossbow to the eastern wall and fires at the attackers ...3 bolts streak out towards the attackers on the eastern wall with one findings its mark (d20+5=15 2nd shot)(d10+4=11 damage).

"Stat still so i can get a sure shot at ya," growls Nezamil in frustration.

The old adage 'druids protect nature, and nature protects druids' has never been more true. Try as they might, the goblins cannot get within 130 feet of the North wall. At least half of the goblin horde is dead, and the secret assault team is decimated.

Bralin walks down among the goblins to the East, and kills two as they attempt to flee. They don't even bother to attack.

Peerimus and Shaylin move through the goblin horde on the West, killing them at will. While they attempt to kill the leopards, rumors of magic killing beasts is spreading through the horde. Though blows have hit the leopards that should kill them, they move as though they have not even been hit. Again javelins fly at them, and two strike Peerimus, yet they glance off as if hitting a stone wall (damage 3 HP).

Airin keeps the flaming sphere going, preventing any goblins from crossing the invisible spikes. One goblin tries, and again the fire forces him upon the spikes and to his death.

Kendry kills two more goblins on the East, and now there are only 8 left. They run to the West, hoping to blend in with the larger horde.

Tishe, seeing that the battle is kept from the North wall decides to help on the Western Wall, wand in hand.

Nezamil kills an Orc on the Eastern wall with his crossbow.

More kobolds top the Western wall, and students fight them hand to hand. The kobolds seem clumsy by comparison, but on occasion they strike a student and blood soaks into the robe. Orcs are doing the same on the Eastern wall.

Kendry calls out new coordinates, and sings:

Westward rocks now launch my brethren
Loosen more foes' bones and joints
Good defense our druids fashion
Call forth nature, raise her points

The secondary attack is mitigated, so he follows those who run toward the larger group, arriving at Z120. Two more arrows fly hitting AC 33 for 21 hp on one goblin, and AC 28 for 23 hp on the second. He otherwise manages to spot nothing in particular (Spot: 7).

Gilan roars as the javelin slams into him, but it does not slow his charge into the goblins. With the furry of the wild he tears into the nearest goblins that he can reach. Teeth and claws tear flesh as he lets out a battle roar on the field.

Nezamil observes the last remants of the goblin secret assault team flee towards the western side of the North wall " yeah ya gonna be cat food and ya don't even know it yet " chuckles the dwarf and then he quickly turns and his quickened by his magical boots he hurries to the Eastern wall to help the students defense againist the Orcs .

Running along the walkway atop the castle walls the dwarf stops behind the students and invokes Divine powers " Domi bless these couragous souls with your strength and courage " prays the Cleric of Domi (casting "Prayer" for on all those on the eastern wall)

Sliding his shield off his shoulder and drawing his mace in one smooth motion the dwarf wades into the chaos of the battle " have heart my friends we will win the day ....stand strong" roars Nezamil as he tries to rally the students

" i'm off to help on the eastern wall keeo an eye on Bralin " whispers Nezamil to Kendry in the message spell

Tishe' slows(move 20'), and allows 12 feet of low-slung reptile to move ahead of her on the wall (Snout move 30'). They continue to advance against the kobolds on the Western Wall, and Tishe' lets fly five magic missles from her wand to strike five kobolds close together (dam: 5, 3, 5, 3, 4)

"Keep fighting!" she encourages the students, "Help is on the way!"

Still the sphere does a great job in keeping the Goblins from crossing their bridge. But only 1 round remains. Soon the flames will dissapear...

The goblins don't know what to expect. The whole tactical plan was to reach the wall on the Western side of the North wall, gather defenders on that side and have the Eastern contingent scale the walls before defenders regrouped. Not being able to reach the wall wasn't even discussed in the strategy meeting.In fact, most it was scale the walls and kill those inside, then rape and pillage.

Or was it rape, pillage and then kill?

Gilan turns into his gorillian shape, and savagly attacks goblins, killing two. In turn the goblins fight back with morning stars, but are unable to connect.

Peerimus and Shaylin continue the assault, each killing a goblin. A few of the brave goblins manage to attack, and a javelin flies at Peerimus missing him. A goblin also swings a Morningstar but misses also. Shaylin is attack with two morning stars, but they also miss.

Meanwhile, Kendry kills two more with his arrows. He also targets the goblins on the west side with catapults. Rocks whistle overhead and crash to the ground, crushing those beneath. Two of the catapults are off target (see the 2's rolled), and crash near Peerimus, Shaylin and Gilan (each roll reflex save for half damage, otherwise take 21 HP damage each).

Tishe moves toward the Western wall, and kills 4 kobolds with magic missles. Snout leads the charge. The students are able to push the ladder away after Tishe kills the kobolds upon the wall.

Nezamil moves toward the East wall, and blesses those upon the wall. It seems to help, but still two more orcs make it to the top.

The catapult rocks seem to have caused great commotion, but with orders shouted from a leader deep inside their ranks, the goblins start to form up again. It has come to the knowledge of the goblins that the orcs and kobolds have gained the wall, and they have not. With a sudden awareness, they as one start to push together, reforming the column. They run right at the ball of fire, several goblins fall upon the spikes dead. One is burned to death, but they do not break formation.

Tuesday January 24th, 2006 11:54:04 PM
Gilan senses the incoming boulder and is able to spin with it as it connects with his shoulder. Though it hurts he channels that anger into his next set of attacks as he uses the spin to lead him into more goblins.

With renewed furry he tears into the goblins with teeth and claws. He does search the battlefield for more targets or things that mean the goblins are coming together.

The Crescent Valley halfling nocks another arrow.

With the misfire of the catapult, Kendry has the students aim at those lined up farther back, so as to make misfires less likely to hit allies.

He fires again at the goblins who hustle to join their companions.

he sings in goblin, in a minor key. Those who understand the tongue know that he has said, roughly, is: 'Run away from the walls, or ants will feast on your bloodied entrails.' Immediately after the goblinish couplet, now, in common, he sings:

Twisted faeish souls, repent
Lest you suffer long torment.

Spot: 9. He ends the round at T120.

Podo rounds the corner to the west. He looks at the kobolds, savage reptilian cries issuing from their throats as they attack the students. Peace?

He sees the bloodstain spreading on one of the student's tunics. There is a time for peace, certainly. But, for now, to regain peace, and ensure that these young students of Domi and Alemi find more than the peace of the grave, it is time to fight.

Podo leaps in to the midst of a grouping of kobolds (boots of striding and springing assisting), and strikes out with fists and feet, elbows and knees. His blows hit four. But he lands his blows so as to do non-lethal damage, aiming to disable, to render unconscious, rather than to kill - except, perhaps, for the first kobold, whom he kicked in the chest while the reptilian humanoid crested the parapet, and whose stunned body now falls down the ladder others try to scale.

With Snout and now the amazing Podo helping the students keep the walls clear, the brown-haired woman turns her thoughts to the kobolds below.

"Mother Wold, hear my plea, let grasses below entwine for me!" Words are woven with gestures, and a little ways out from the wall, grasses grab at ankles and toes, entangling the kobolds below [Entangle Spell Reflex DC 14]

Snout does a savage jerk of his head and lets the kobold fall to the ground. "PThhhhah!" NOT like chicken! If there is another in range, he'll charge and bite (AC 25 Dam: 13)

(occ: DM Kelly, sorry to annoy you, but this is the second round you do not mention Airin's protective firing at all Orcs that get on the East Wall. Is she unable to shoot?)

Airin feels the strength of the Flaming Sphere is withering. No matter how hard she tries, gradually she feels her connection to the flames is passing. With one last effort she makes the sphere advance as far as possible in the Goblin Horde, setting as many goblins on fire as possible. After that the sphere dissapears as quickly as it appeared...

the bridge is open... Goblins will soon cross it and swarm passed the spikes and traverse the last 150ft that keep them from getting to teh Wall.

"TISCHE! PODO! BE CAREFUL! THE FLAMES ARE GONE AND THE GOBLINS WILL CROSS THEIR BRIDGE!!"
Airin shouts to her friends who are fighting on the East Wall now.

She recognises the signs Tische makes and realises her friend is trying to spot the enemy by Entangling them! "Dear Mother Nature, you have thought me that spell as well!" she thinks to herself, "Let's take away all their hopes to ever close range on this Wall!"

Airin makes identical incantations as Tische did on the East Wall, and just opposite of the Goblin Bridge (between I and J, 90Ft North of the Wall) all grasses and weeds start to crawl up entangling all Goblins that attempt to cross the bridge!
(reflex DC12 or they are entangled - move at half speed if save succesfull)

OOC: Sorry for missing Airin's attacks, was focused on the Flaming Sphere and was thinking that was her action. Then I read it and realized that if you don't move it, you can do other things.

Gilan catches a glancing blow from a boulder, but manages to avoid the direct hit. He tears apart a goblin, and shrugs off two attacks.

Peermus and Shaylin are also hit by rocks, but the magical Stone Skin protects them from damage. Each of them also tear apart a goblin. They are attacked by two goblins each, but they cannot be hit.

Airin kills two orcs with arrows, and warns of the end of the Flaming Sphere. She is also able to cast Entangle, and the goblin horde is once again slowed, many of them stuck fast by the grabbing grasses.

Kendry gives instructions to shoot farther back with the catapults, and is able to kill two goblins with his arrows.

Podo runs to the West wall, and kicks and spins sending three kobolds over the wall crashing upon the kobolds below. He also drops one to his knees, where he gasps for breath.

Tishe entangles the kobolds at the base of the wall, preventing them from making it to the ladder. The result is amazing. With the kobolds slowed and many entangled, the students are able to push the ladders back and dispatch the kobolds upon the wall. Snout helps too, and finds that kobolds taste no better than they look.

Nezamil wades through the orcs and kills three. More orcs are coming over the wall, and students there are engaged in hand to hand combat, unable to push the ladders away. Two orcs attack Nezamil, but they don't even come close to hitting him.

To the North a chant rises up, and the goblin horde rushes forward. The last of the flaming sphere stops some, as they burst into flame. Two of the goblins make it slowly through the twisting grass, but most are held fast. A scream of rage is heard.
Meanwhile the catapults crank.

Gilan, in girallon form, dances away from the goblins that attacked him. His smile widens as he goes through a series of hoots. Within a few seconds his muscles bulge as a spell takes effect upon him, enhancing his strength.

The bard flies to N120...

Well done, my friends, well done, well done
Now tell me how it fares for you
The goblins rage, and are undone
Though still they try to break on through

The next two arrows he sends toward the pair of goblins who are managing to move through the grass: AC 32: 18 hp; AC 20: 14 hp. Hmmm... if I were hasted, I could increase my attacks by 50%! he thinks to himself. Maybe later, should some get through to the wall. How is Airin now? Of course, she's fine. Did she not just let us know of the ball of flame?

The swift little hobbit thinks to himself that he wishes there were something he could do to help heal those wounded.

But there are more kobolds to deal with, he thinks grimly. He again leaps forward to the next grouping on the wall, and in a flurry of blows, does critical damage to the first (AC 32, threat, AC 27 crit) of 8+14=20 hp, as the kobold goes flying up in the air. The second kobold ducks Podo's spinning backhand, but the fellow next to him is struck with the same backhand soundly (AC 19) for 13 hp damage. Podo then lifts his knee into the chest of another kobold (AC 18) for 13 hp [if that connects].

The smallish monk sets himself for the next gathering of kobolds, especially wanting to assist whichever student looks most beleaguered.

Tishe' [AC 20 HP 56] and Snout [AC 21 HP 32]
Thursday January 26th, 2006 1:09:36 AM
Tishe' looks around. The kobolds are all off the wall, and Podo is here to help keep them off. The goblins are being kept away as well, but the Orcs! The orcs are surmounting the wall and not even the powerful Nezamil will be able to hold the wall himself.

"Podo, you stay here, Snout and I will help the western wall!" And the mystic runs (x4 speed) to the north wall and over to the east. Snout's crocodilian form raising up and racing after her.

Pleased to see the effect of the entanglement, Airin continues to fire at every Gobline that starts to cross the 80ft filled with grappling weeds.

Bolt 1 hits AC18 - probable miss
Bolt 2 hits AC28 for 8Hp

She does her best to find where the leader is.

She whistles loud and hopes Erwen will hear her. Hopefully the bird returns to Airin as fast as possible, her daylight coin still beneath her.

Bralin continues trotting westward, thinking to cut off the other end of the "goblin bridge".

The dwarf notes that battlefields are annoyingly large. He'd much prefer a nice, closed in space where you can get to the enemy quickly.

Druids, several druids. Usually they don't travel well together, yet here they are in the past looking for answers and finding themselves defending a fortress. Others look on, amazed that a few can do so much.

Erwen flies above, casting light upon the goblins who attempt to cross the spikes and then find themselves entangled.

Peerimus, Shaylin and Gilan shake off the effects of the rocks. They move through the goblins kills as they move. Peerimus and Shaylin each kill a goblin. Peerimus is struck twice by morningstars (9hp damage), while Shaylin proves difficult to strike. Gilan attempts to cast a spell, and brings upon himself two additional attacks (AoO Hit AC 21 - misses). The spell works, and he gains the strength of a bull. Again the goblins try and strike him, but he is difficult to hit.

Kendry sings a tune, which instills courage to his friends and causes fear in the hearts of the goblins. Looking for those who manage to move through the entangled area, he quickly kills two.

Bralin rushes to help the druids and Kendry, yet rushing for a dwarf requires a new definition of the term 'rush'.

On the West wall, Podo and Airin have turned the tide. Podo is able to dispatch the last three kobolds on the wall. Airin kills a kobold who is slowly moving through the entangled area. With a whistle, she summons Erwen to her.

Tishe and Snout decide to help upon the Eastern wall beset with Orcs, and move towards it.

Upon the Eastern wall, Nezamil is beset by several Orcs (roll your attacks for this round later). Three Orcs attack him, and one is able to connect with his crude sword (3 hp damage). Nearby students kill two Orcs, and more Orcs take their place as they climb up the ladder.

The goblins' attempt to rush the wall has been foiled by the entangle spell. Great cries of anguish are heard from the North.

Gilan's grin widens as the spell he cast takes effect and it takes only a moment to react. Launching himself at the nearest group of goblins he once again becomes a dervish of claws and teeth. "RRRROOOAAARRRRR!" A primal roar is all that alerts the goblins to his presence and he does not slow a bit.

Always liking to mix it up, Kendry pulls from out his haversack a smaller sack. He upends the contents--five flasks of alchemist's fire, giving an ever-so-slight wave of the bag so that the flasks fall down in a rough line over the goblin-lined footbridge made by the bodies of their comrades, at I125 to I140 from the walls (the little g's on the map).

The missiles fall in a slight parabolic arc, gaining speed, then shattering with the sharp sound of breaking glass, and the sudden whoosh of bursting flame, bits of the flammable liquid sticking to those adjacent the hapless recipients of the direct hits on heads and shoulders.

[I'm rolling unmodified d20s for the ranged touch attack, as he is not throwing them so much as dropping them: AC 7 (probably missed a direct hit, but will do 1 hp damage to all in adjacent squares); AC 14, 18, 19 and 19 all should be direct hits, doing: 3 hp, 8, 8, 8 damage, each on a different goblin. Each directly hit goblin takes an additional d6 fire damage next round (rolled 4(+3=7 total), 4(+8=12), 5(+8=13) & 1(+8=9) for next round's additional damage). All in splash range take 1 hp damage. Due to the height of the fall, it's up to our dauntless DM to decide whether there is any additional damage due to the speed of the flasks when they hit.]

Warned you are - why not now flee?
No profit here for you will be
Lick your wounds and take your leave
Or join your dead - no one will grieve

Podo recalls that there is something he might do to help staunch the flow of blood. The monk approaches the student who is bleeding, and pulls forth from his gear a healer's kit. "Here, let me clean that wound, and apply some ointment, and a bandage." He does what he can to stabilize, and give him a chance to heal. [Healing, untrained, 24, using masterwork Healers Kit.]

As Erwen flies back to Airin the druid casts a spell so she can speak with Erwen.

"Erwen, fly around the castle. Fly to the east wall first so the orcs scaling the walls are dazzled by your bright light. It will help the students defending the wall. The fly onwards to the south and west and report back to me. Try to see what goes on on the other sides of the castle. We may be doing a good job here, but we need to know what goes on elsewhere. Hurry Erwen, hurry!!"

With that said, Airin sends Erwen back up in the sky and watches the bird as she prepares for her tour around the Oshirr House. (don't know how long this will take her)

Then she looks to the field of entangling weeds and once again fires at any Goblins that attempt to cross the field.
