CF - Volo's Adventurers' Guild - PbP Campaign

Banjo will look to Erky.  "Please support Tresvar and the others with your spells."

Summoning up a portion of - nay - ALL his courage and wiles, Banjo darts forward and picks a path through the legs of the larger figures and past the hobgoblin in the doorway.  Still in the appearance of Grumpypants the goblin, he will grovel and say as cowardly as he can in goblin:

Banjo sees the hobgoblin leader sit forward, gripping the arms of the throne. Upon hearing Banjo's message-as-a-goblin, he hesitates, then noticing the other hobgoblins looking at him he stammers in goblin:

 -------------

Meanwhile, in the hall, reaffirmed by Banjo's admonition, Erky fumes at his erstwhile captors. He calls out "Oh protector! may our persecutors taste the turn of fortune!", as a golden surge of grace descends upon Tresvar, Selena and Livia. 

((Livia's turn, then the hobgoblin warriors))

Why are they just attacking everything that moves around them? Livia has no idea. Still, she trusts the more experienced adventurers and raises her own weapon, loading a bolt and shooting at the nearest supposed enemy. 

Attack: 4+12 Damage: 9.

The bolt from Livia's crossbow glances off of the hobgoblin's armor and clatters harmlessly into the hall behind him. He snorts and disengages from melee with Tresvar, regrouping near the throne. Along the way, he roughly shoves Banjo-as-a-goblin saying 

 The other two hobgoblin warriors, swing up to ready from their reclined position and immediately take up cover positions with their bows.

One shoots at Tresvar attack: 14 piercing damage: 8

The other readies his shot for the first attacker to step fully through the door.

((Tresvar is next followed by Serena))

Going counter-clockwise from Banjo in the circular room:

• Banjo,
• Hobgoblin 1 who Tresvar attacked and who has moved back toward his leader
• potted plant
• Hobgoblin leader on throne
• Goblin Shaman
• Hobgoblin warrior 2
• Hobgoblin warrior  3

Tresvar roars in rage and advances into the room, moving to where she can blast the leader, the shaman, and the hobgoblin with her fire breath.    As she passes Banjo she simply snarls at him, daring him to try to stop her (to not blow his cover) 

Dragonborn breath 15’ cone- DC 11 dex or they each take 8 damage.  (Save for half) 

As Tresvar enters the room, a second arrow is shot at her from the readied hobgoblin:

Attack: 21 Damage if hits: 4

----

Tresvar rushes 30 feet to get as many of her targets in her dragonbreath blast.

The cone of fire blooms forth:

Hobgoblin: Dex Save 7

Hobgoblin Leader: Dex Save 20

potted plant: Dex Save 11

goblin shaman: Dex Save 3 

The already wounded hobgoblin warrior drops in a smouldering heap before the blast. Their leader also gets a full blast and howls in pain and rage.

The shaman dodges some of the flame but still gets blasted a decent amount by the licking flames.

The potted plant, suddenly springs to motion and attempts to writhe out of the way of the angry fire. While it dodges some of the flames, those few which strike it roar quickly like a spark amongst dry kindling. The plant creature crumples quickly into twisted charcoal twigs. 

((Serena is up))

Serena moves to the door and peeks into the room, seeing the two hobgoblin warriors to the south and uses her fey magic to send them into sweet slumber.
Cast sleep for 29 hp
And then she steps back into the corridor.

Tresvar roars again, and flexes her massive arms at the remaining Hobgoblins. (Been waiting to use that breath for the right moment!)  

The tangle of power ripples through the air from Serena and over the two hobgoblins; both slump into a stupor. 

Glancing first at the hobgoblin leader and then at the unconscious hobgoblin warriors neutralized under the unexpected attack, the goblin shaman slips quietly from his side and begins sidling along the outer-wall, to place herself, crouching low behind the hobgoblin warriors.

((First - edited due to my mistaken reading of the wrong field. NOW - Banjo's turn, thank you))

Suspecting the goblin shaman may be trying to slip out the door behind the sleeping hobgoblins, 'Grumpypants" moves to intercept.  In goblin:

 He will try to lead the goblin shaman toward the hall where Serena, Livia and Erky are waiting.  If the shaman resists, 'Grumpypants' will try to grapple 20 while trying to keep up appearances that this isn't an 'attack' but trying to pull them to 'safety'.  Succeed or Fail, will try to stay between the shaman and the other exit door.

 The shaman tries to free herself from the clinging goblin. Failing that, she relaxes and says to the panicked goblin

A glimmer of green glows on her staff, then in common, pointing at the hobgoblin leader: "Dragonborn! It was him who did all the mischief. Remove the hobgoblins and return peace!"

(Cool! Who’s up?)

((Sorry, was interrupted))

The hobgoblin leader roars, 

 He then takes a swing with his Longsword at Tresvar

Attack: 8 Damage: 7

His blade arcs ferociously toward Tresvar, and then the leader seems to lose his grip, causing his strike to glance harmlessly off her shield.

He screams in goblin:

Erky runs forward now, seeing that there appear to be no further arrows flying at the door. From just outside the throne room he casts thaumaturgy making it sound as if many booted feet were approaching.

"You are in trouble now you brute!"

((Livia, Tresvar, and then Serena are next))

Livia hears a lot going on in Goblin, but she doesn't speak that language, so she has no idea what's really going on. From her spot, neither is she able to see, so she has to move forward, towards the doorstep. The one thing that was said in Common, though, she does understand. It seems like removing the Hobgoblins would return peace. Well, that sounded like a good idea. Livia aims her crossbow at the nearest Hobgoblin, then fires.

Attack: 3+7 Damage: 9.

Livia's bolt clatters off of the hobgoblin with no other effect.

Tresvar swings her longsword at the hobgoblin leader…

12 plus bless 1 

if hit- damage 8 (dueling style +2 bonus)
