Tests and Trials

[Arch Lich Burns]

If the leader hob is still up on her turn she’ll cast another MM on him.

[3d4+3] = 5+3 = 8
(And once he’s out of range of MM he will still be in range of eldrich blasts.

[Rodgeir]

Kroshav runs past a hob, who swings at, and misses, the rapidly moving dragonborn, with the intent of finishing of Big hob. Unfortunately the larger than average hob blocks the attack.

Hob attack of opportunity on Kroshav: 1D20+4 = [6]+4 = 10
1D8+2 = [3]+2 = miss

The hob that just swung at Kroshav glares at the nearest bugbear, who raises its morningstar defensively at the angry look, before turning and running away. Inside the hut the bugbear the swings wildly and nearly hits a pair of goblins that were creeping up on the hobgoblin causing the rest of them to push up again the walls.

Bugbear attack and damage on hobgoblin in hut: 1D20+4 = [1]+4 = 5
2D8+2 = [6, 8]+2 = miss

The hobgoblin NE of Jolly hacks down hard on Jolly who easily gets his shield up to block the blow. The hobgoblin spits towards Jolly and runs back. Jolly swings a little to late and only scraps the hob's armored back as he flees. The bugbear does nothing to stop the hob but nor does he follow as he regards Jolly warily who regards it in turn before moving slowly past it to run down the hob and attack it again only to be blocked by a shield.

Seemingly unaware of the state of things the southmost bugbear continues to try and climb the fence. This time is almost makes it before sliding down.

((I missed/failed on. Every. Single. Roll.))

[thinkslogically]

Ves yells in frustration and activates her aasimar powers, as she tries again to drop the hobgoblin in front of her (flurry of blows):

Attacks: 1D20+6 = [11]+6 = 17
1D20+5 = [20]+5 = 25
1D20+5 = [7]+5 = 12


Attacks: 1D8+4 = [3]+4 = 7
2D4+3 = [2, 2]+3 = 7


+8 radiant damage = 24 damage total

[Rodgeir]

Ves gets tired of everyone's impersonation of fans and summons the power from within herself. The goblins all scream and scramble away and the bugbear cowers down in front of her. Bathed in the glory that is Ves the hobgoblin blinks and regards the woman in front of him, ethereal wing tips touching the low ceiling.

He throws up his shield as Ves swings her staff but is unable to stop a punch that strikes his chest before erupting in a spray of brightness that leaves the hobgoblin unmoving on the floor.

Outside the hut the bugbears stand and watch the hobs retreat. One starts laughing before it turns to a growling sob.

((A hit in the hut! Woohoo!))

[thinkslogically]

If that hobgoblin is dead, Ves will leave the hut and go looking for the next target (especially the big hob if she can see it).

[Rodgeir]

Ves steps over the still body of the newly slay hob and past the shocked looking bugbear out into the open, murmurs from the goblins in the hut following her. Once outside her wings flap gently so she is hovers a short distance above the ground while moving forward towards where she spots Big hob engaged with Kroshav. She glides forward and takes position NE of Kroshav, Big hob's eyes widen upon seeing her.

((Jaq is up))

[NotStickFigures]

Jaq will move up NE 30 feet, ending up just south of the bugbear, "Let me shoot that hobgoblin," he states, and then he aims and shoots at the one engaged with Jolly.
He is hoping the bugbear remains true to form and lets him shoot unmolested.
He is willing to take that chance.

Longbow attack: 1D20+8 = [16]+8 = 24

Arrow damge with sneak attack : 1D8+6+2D6 = [6]+6+[3, 6] = 21

He will then use cunning action to dash and move up to Jolly. (Actually he'll move 10 feet north of Jolly) "Let's clean up this side of the camp, we got this!"

[Rodgeir]

The bugbear blinks at Jaq processing what he is being asked before realizing it is a question and ducks down a bit allowing the arrow to fly true into the fleeing hob. For his part the hob coughs as the arrow pierces his armor and hits many, many vital things. He stands for a moment before tipping over. Jaq runs past Jolly and look for more targets. Jolly lowers his shield and points ahead with his sword,

"Think ya can hit that one?"

On the other side of the hut Big hob seems to decide running is his best option what with angry dragonborn being backlight by the glowing floating angel in front of him. He turns and moves as fast as he can towards the village's gate.

((AoO from Kroshav if he would like))

OppAtt: 1D20+7 = [2]+7 = 9
1D8+7 = [8]+7 = 15

[Arch Lich Burns]

How far off from the ground is she, and if she runs after him would she be in range? Or can she have Lurn carry her as she readies a MM?

If not then Joe fires an eldrich blast if he lives.


[1d20+5] = 4+5 = 9[1d10] = 1

[Rodgeir]

Kroshav's sword passes through the spot Big hob was just in and Joe fires a blast of energy into the hub beside the hob. Lurn catches Joe from the roof. The giantkin sprints up to where the little pirate can see Big hob and the halfling looses three bolts of force. The bolts swerve around one hob on their way to their target, the first staggers Big hob and the second sends him into the muddy ground between two huts. The third hits evokes no reaction from the prone figure beyond sliding it slightly.

((Burns, Joe is about 15 feet up now but going to the edge would put her around 10 feet up. If she runs after him after taking the hop down (and rolling for the land) it would not be enough to catch up. Going to Lurn would be moving in the wrong direction and he would have to dash to get Joe in range/sight of Big hob.

If Dlover wants to try that I can always edited the above!))

[Dlover]

If Lurn would have to sprit to get Joe in LoS of the hob, he can't do his own casting anyway. So yeah, catch the little one and sprint after Big Hob.

[Rodgeir]

Edited above, Kroshav's turn!

[Dlover]

((Huzzah for Jolly Cooperation!))

[spiderwrangler]

Kroshav barrels NW between the two huts, and seeing the big hobo down thanks to Cap'n, skids to a halt as he swings his sword around on the hob in front of him.

Sword: 1D20+7 = [16]+7 = 23
1D8+7 = [4]+7 = 11


((A hit! ))

[Rodgeir]

Sees Big hob fall under a volley of magical darts and switches targets to the hob he just caught up with. The only remaining hob's attention is, unfortunately for him, on his fallen commander so he doesn't even see the blow that ends his life.

Everyone can hear a few inquiring shouts in goblin to the west then cursing and running.

Back at the hut the bugbears begin moving together and watching the party members warily, especially Ves. A few of the braver goblins come out of the hut, including the old woman and two younger males who both have injuries to watch Ves in wonder. One of the males is awkwardly holding the hob that died in the hut's longsword.

((Combat is over!))

[thinkslogically]

Ves flies up to the top of a nearby hut to survey the rest of the village and make sure there aren't any more hobgoblins lurking somewhere.

Perception: 1D20+3 = [5]+3 = 8


Whether she sees something or not, she'll fly back down to the group before her powers wear off.

[Dlover]

Lurn gives a slight wave to the bugbears as they group together, "It's clear you were unwilling to fight, and you sought to avoid harming us. Keep to the good path of doing no harm to innocents, and you will have to trouble with us."

[Rodgeir]

Ves spots a pair of hobs disappearing into the woods to the west, noting the broken gate that direction as well. Nothing else is moving in the village.

The bugbears give Lurn a confused look and keep their distance but do go to the body of their fallen comrade and pick up his weapon and say a few things in goblin before picking it up and moving west.

Jolly scoops up a longsword as he walks to Kroshav and Big hob's remains.

[thinkslogically]

Ves will translate for Lurn, and comment on the two hobs fleeing west.

To the bugbears, she'll also add:
"Thanks for not killing us. Are many of your people enslaved by the hobgoblins?"

[spiderwrangler]

Kroshav would move to get visual on the west as well, chucking a jav if he was able to spot any.

"Someone go get Himmak? Ves, perhaps while you've got your wings?"

Kroshav walks up to the young goblin male with the hob's sword and clasps his arm in the goblin manner.

[Arch Lich Burns]

Joe goes to the big hobbo to make sure to he is really dead and starts investigating his body for loots.

[Rodgeir]

The bugbears don't seem to understand the second part of the translated version of Lurn's comment ((unless it is a typo?)) but on does say,

"No kill us, no kill you. Kill hobs, not enemy today. Ya got funny fur, but good ya got fur just blue? "

In goblin the same bugbear answers Ves,

"Dunno how many but lots of us. Many clans captured, gobs and us. They got some ogres and orcs too but mostly us and gobs is slaves." Another bugbear adds, "Saw a couple giants, bigger than the ogres. They was pretty dumb though but maybe was slaves?"

By the time Kroshav gets to the gates the remaining hobs are out of sight, but they can still be heard moving through the the forest. Turning back he speaks loud enough that Himmak yells from the other side of the fence,

"We win? Hobs gone?"

The injured goblin with the longsword looks up at the giant dragonborn with concern but slowly offers an arm to take Kroshav's while holding out his weapon. Unfortunately his arm is injured and he isn't able to keep the sword up for long and it drops to the ground. The goblin looks embarrassed but the older female goblin grunts in appreciation to Kroshav before yelling something nasty sounding to Himmak. The bugbears laugh as do the goblins that are slowly leaving the hut.

Big hob is most definitely dead upon inspection.

((Roll investigation for loots!))

[NotStickFigures]

Knowing that elves aren’t overly liked by goblinkin Jaq stays pretty quiet. He goes over to Jolly and claps him on his back and quietly says “We did well,good fighting!”

[spiderwrangler]

After the greeting, Kroshav will put away his blade and gently take the goblins injured arm, Laying on Hands for 1HP (if that seems to improve it enough, if not, another).

He'll then do the goblin hand clasp again with him.
