(Ceo also gets an AOO on the Ankheg, from when it fled due to the Dissonant Whispers spell.)

 Oh sweet! Ceo will hit the ankheg with his rapier.

Attack: 10 Damage: 6

Randall:

Casting Bless on Grim, Bow, and Petcan, Randall moves up behind Ceo and draws his mace, ready to step up or heal as the situation demands.

Bow Dex save: 11 (No Bless because it is from before Bless was cast)

After the save Bow attacks Ankheg with his hand crossbow again; shooting two shots in quick succession

Attack 1: 22 Damage: 7

Attack 2: 26 Damage: 24

Ceo simply looks at the thing at his feet like "What the actual f?" and pokes it with his rapier.

"I think it's dead. Should we try to get some of that acid it spit?"

OOC: YAY level 3!

(I'm throwing in some medium and hard encounters to balance out things so it's not always deadly encounters. Still gonna be deadly encounters, don't get me wrong, just not solely deadly encounters.)

(To balance this all out I have to increase the number of encounters slightly. To try this out by PbP it could mean a lot of initiative rolls. To prevent having to wait I can roll initiative for everyone and post the order so we can jump right into combat, if all agree?)

 I'm good with that.

(I'm fine with you rolling initiative as well; leveled up; Hit die of short rest: 7)

"Lets take a short brake before moving on; we should not let the army close in to much."

Randall:

OOC:  Good with DM-rolled Initiative. A short rest or pushing on to warn the next town is Randall’s vote.  If we move on quickly, Randall can do some healing for people with significant acid damage.

(OOC I'm good with it. Anything that speeds up combat is a good thing. Also short rest sounds good)

(( I'm good with DM rolling initiative as well. ))

Hit dice: 12 

(Short rest and DM initiative, all good. Petcan’s just gonna roll hit dice in campaign log for ease, in case I need multiple)

Randall:

Pulling some salve out of his kit, Randall coats the worst of the party’s acid burns during their five minute rest.

Spend a HD:  9

Ekō walks around exploring. She asked people around town for any places with radios or a radio shop.

Randall:

"Looks like we need to go to the Reeves' place to see if they want to run or fight.  How many goblins would you say are in the army?  Hopefully this Christopher guy knows how many able-bodied militia members are in town so we can figure out the best course of action--that would be super!" says Randall.

( oh ok my oc is actually paced off of two characters in the future so I don’t know what to and I want to stay)

Do we have time to try to booby trap the town or just barricade some to slow down the horde? Is that more costly than it’d help?

"Would someone be willing to purchase a sheep or pig from one of the local farmers for me? Ceo? Randall? I don't want to frighten people, leave the hungry Worg alone or bring him too near livestock" Grim says

"Seems there were many hundreds of them. We need to figure out what's behind this if we're going to stop that many Goblins."

"I am pretty sure a village like this has no chance against an army like that. We should tell Reeves to evacuate and ask which city we should go to to get up an army that will have a chance. So lets move to Reeves'  place."

(What would be our best estimate of the numbers of goblins/riders/etc we saw?)

Randall:

”I will make the purchase for you,” volunteers Randall, understanding Grim’s caution.

Grim hands Randall 3gp. "Thank you. Let me know if it's more than that" he says

Randall:

Randall will try and make the purchase quickly at the edge of town from a farmer or such, then get it back to Grim.  he then goes into town to try and catch up with the others.
