GM Note: As explained in the recruitment thread, ideally, players should post daily, but 5 posts per week are mandatory to keep the game flowing for the group. Since it's been 3 days since Esidrix's last post, at least in my timezone, I'll be playing his character until he returns. Real life happens, so no problem. Let's continue.

Shrike, seeing that the goblins next to hom are close will try to finish them off. Hoping to get some breathing room from his allies that finished off their opponents. He hits the two next to him with a flurry. One of the Goblins fall.
He slides around the remaining one and whilrnit is shifting feet to follow him Shrike kicks its legs and then punches it in the sternum to knock it back, tying to get some breathing room.

Vordokov scales up the hill, just past the brush on the right. He sees Shrike battling two goblins, felling one and pushing back the other. He focuses and blasts it with divine light.

Malfina trots along the high ground and wheels around to see two goblins harassing Marbin. She speaks to the Flame, saying, "Oh all consuming flame, I call on thee! Take these two and make them yours!"
She points at the two goblins below her and twin jets of sizzling flame shoot across the battlefield, searing the goblins!

Malfina gains 3 Essence and moves to R17. For her Main Action she uses Bifurcated Incineration again! A 10. Ah well. She uses the Practical Magic maneuver to add 2 damage to one of the goblins. W5.a takes 4, W5.b takes 6.Last edited October 20, 2025 3:52 am

Turn 4
Shrike's blows are enough to kill one of the goblins and injure the other, knocking it a great distance away (6 squares now).
Vordokov's prayer (Blessed Light) further damages the pushed goblin and leaves Shrike's fists glowing. Meanwhile, Malfina’s flames, slightly weaker than her full potential, deal damage to the goblins.

OOC:
Surges let you do more damage next round. To heal, unless Vordokov uses Healing Grace, you must use a maneuver: Catch Breath. Unlike D&D, you can self-heal as well, with the same effects. =).OOC:

The goblins glance around the battlefield, realizing the tide has turned. Once a large group, they are now outnumbered two to one by a party of hardened adventurers. Fear flashes in their beady eyes. One lets out a sharp, guttural cry. In an instant, they turn around and flee, retreating into the shadowed depths of the forest. Their spears clatter against their sides as they vanish into the undergrowth, leaving only the groans of the dying behind.

Tutorial notes
[ +- ] Pursuing the Goblins
If anyone wants to pursue the fleeing goblins, just describe and roleplay what your character does. No rolls are needed for this — they’re retreating in disarray, and you’ll easily be able to chase or finish off any stragglers if you choose.

[ +- ] Recoveries
Outside of combat, you can spend as many Recoveries as you like. Just let me know and then update your character sheet accordingly.
I'm not tracking the PCs' Stamina, Recoveries, etc. That's up to the players. I'll help/alert you if I notice something clearly missing or wrong, but I trust you to take care of it.

Ashleigh

Ashleigh watches wide-eyed as the last of the goblins break and run, the adrenaline still thrumming in her chest. She lets out a shaky breath, clearly impressed by the brutal efficiency with which the group dismantled the ambush.
"Gods… you made that look easy," she mutters, half in awe, half still trying to process the chaos that just ended. Her gaze shifts toward the looming entrance of the Tomb, its dark mouth seeming even more menacing now.
"I suppose this means you’ll be going in after Violet, then?" she asks softly. There’s a flicker of worry and another of hope in her eyes.
"I… I want to help, I really do. But I’d only get in your way down there. I’m not a fighter." She swallows and straightens a little. "I can stay here, though, make sure no one sneaks up behind you. Just… bring her back."

Still in the fury of battle will chase off after the two goblins with his great maul and end them. Can't have them running into any friends and bringing them back behind us.

Nope. Combat ended, so it is now a pure roleplaying decision. It does affect the fiction, though =)Oct 20, 2025 10:42 am
Vordokov sees Obsidian bound off, confident the dwarf will stop the remaining goblins. He looks at the others and the destruction dealt around them, Grole would be pleased.
"I would go in and rescue your daughter, though doing so alone would be foolhardy. As for you Ashleigh, your best course of action now would be to head back to the safety of town, tell others what has happened here, and give them hope. We'll come back with your daughter, safe and sound." The orc wasn't quite sure he believed that last part, but best not to worry the woman more than needbe.

"I agree, if we're going down there, we should go together. Ashleigh, it wouldn't be safe for you with us and I fear, you may not be safe loitering around this spot. If you stay, one of us would feel compelled to remain with, thus weakening our effort to retrieve your daughter."
Naercalad surveys the fallen goblins, "We should check the bodies for keys or other trinkets that may help us enter their hideout."

"Naercalad, you make a good point, but we must keep moving. We made a lot of noise here and a girl's life coulld end at any moment for any reason."
Shrike will help check pockets and obvious spots, quick pat downs, for anything that may help us, but will say something again if we take more than a few minutes.

Shrike and Naercalad, you kneel to check pockets and belts, turning over bodies when necessary. A few crude bone trinkets, some dull copper coins, and poorly made spears are all you find—nothing that would aid you deeper within. No keys, no maps.
Beyond the scattered corpses, the heavy stone slab concealing the tomb has already been dragged aside. A dark staircase yawns before you, leading down into the darkness below.

Shrike is already moving to the tomb as soon as nothing interesting is found. He will go to light a torch and then ask "Malfina, can you circumvent our need for a held torch?"
