GOBLIN HORDE

Randall:

”A good point, although any villages directly in the path to the city should be warned by the fast riders we sent out earlier,” replies Randall.  “Let’s set up the torches and be away from here—either finding a place to hide for the night after getting some distance, or hiding nearby and looking for an opportunity to strike at any of the goblin forces who may be vulnerable.”

Quote from nschrock >>

(I still can’t figure out how a level 3 character is swinging two ranged attacks for that much damage)

( Crossbow expert->extra hand crossbow attack when taking attack action with one-handed weapon aka hand crossbow; gives 2 attacks
Blood hunter crimson rite (of the dawn)-> extra 1d4 radiant damage (and another 1d4 if target is undead); was lightning damage at lvl 2)

(Oooohhh, I didn’t realize you could pack the different dice in together on your damage)

(Catching up, helping refugees)

Bow is voting for "Catching up, helping the refugees of garrum"

(and yes sharpshooter is def on the list; still doubting if I should go for it at 4 already or take 2 ASI for DEX and than go for it at 8)

Randall:

Randall will follow the rest of the group after the refugees from Garrum, though suggesting if someone is really good at scouting, it may be helpful to keep an eye on the horde’s progress.

(Silvis, grom, Ceo what do you guys want)?

"I will continue to harass the Goblins." Grim says, removing his chainmail "I can pick off scouts and Worg riders in hopes of slowing their progress."

Syvis will follow Bow.

Ceo can hinder the goblins here.

When you put it that way Ceo ain’t ready to die! He’s gonna run away with help the refugees.

"I'll stay to slow them down for as long as I can." Grim says

Randall:

”We have horses, but we shouldn’t split up—or take our armor off.  How about a compromise, the stealthy ones can scout it out, and those of us in heavy armor can wait mounted nearby.  If our scouts find a good opportunity, we ride to battle.  If they don’t, we find a hidden place to sleep the night and try again in the morning,” suggests the cleric.

”To be clear, I am not one of the stealthy ones,” he adds with a wry smile as he mounts up.

"Very well."Grim says leaving his armor on and mounting up."I just don't like the idea of turning our backs on an approaching army."

"I'm not here dying 6 against 1500; so no I'm not staying around. We are no use here; we did what we could to slow them down. Way better to meet up with the refugees now, help them against any scouts or outrider parties. Then continue to help the army of the city when we get there. Than staying here hoping for a lose rider; which wont make a dent in their army, and maybe finding ourselves in front of an hole army if we make a mistake; no thank you."

“So it’s agreed? We go help the refugees?”

Yes

I think so, but I’m not bent on it

"If we're going to help the refugees, believe we should get there as quickly as we can." Grim says

"Yes, definitely, lets get moving; the people probably want their horses back in good shape though, so lets have a good draft; but lets not push them to far."
