Red Box

"The Goblin lair was too much for just one of you to handle, but there's strength in numbers. Now your group is ready to handle the goblin menance and retrieve the merchant's stolen box. In the town of Fallcrest, you met up with other adventurer's - each of you brave and talented enough to take on the swarm of goblins.
You're on a lonely road, approaching the site of the goblin lair. The distant howl of wolves has followed you since you set out from Fallcrest, and now you see three of the beasts emerge from behind some rocks along the side of the road. The wolves growl menacingly. With a shrill cry, three goblins appear from behind a ruined tower and rush to attack."

Place your characters in the PC Starting Area (aka tell me the square, letter(s) then numbers).
Then you can go along with your attacking/moving/planning.

Joe says to his companions, "How did all of you come across this goblin lair?" He asks.

Edit: Oh crap whoops, I forgot that the battle starts as soon as the DM starts talking.

[Ardurious]

Isaak's nostrils flare and his eyes grow wide with righteous anger as green abominations emerge from behind rocks and the ruined tower. The gods had freed him from his bonds at the caravan so that he could slay monsters such as these, and he had no intention of disobeying a divine command.

"You creatures know not the power you have awoken! I am the savior of this world! The divine will of the gods made flesh! Fall to your wretched knees and beg for forgiveness," he gestures wildly as he hollers at the goblins, whirling his arms to and fro, swinging his staff with abandon, "and perhaps you shall be spared!"

He looks down for a moment, arms still raised high in the air. "What's that, oh most divine protector? You wish me to...of course. It shall be done," he speaks quietly - as if to himself - then to the creatures once more, "The mighty Kord, lord of war and of the echoing thunders, has demanded your deaths! Repent now, and perhaps you may enter the afterlife with a clean soul!" he pauses another moment, listening, "Or not!"

[zingbobco000]

Joe, having said an extremely stupid thing in the middle of a battle stops himself and says, "Ahh Finally a chance to use my arcane POWER!!" and as he yells his dagger hums with electricity, his whole body pulsing with energy as he starts to chant ancient words.

[Bounty Hunter]

As the newly formed adventuring party had been marching down the dusty dirt road, Graxaan had found himself lost in thought. This would be his first true test since leaving the temple of Pelor and he wonders if he will prevail against the evils of the world. As if to answer his musings, suddenly there is a shrill shriek and Graxaan snaps back to reality to find goblins pouring from behind some ruins. Hearing a snarl to his right he spins on his heel to find a grey wolf approaching from around a boulder. Drawing his mace, he mutters a pray er to himself and braces for battle.

[zingbobco000]

Joe glances over at Graxxan and says, "Ready" bracing himself for his 3rd battle

OOC:

Um, guys by the way, this is actually our third encounter.

[Bounty Hunter]

"Quite ready." Graxaan half-snarls over his left shoulder to Joe. He digs the claws on feet into the dry dusty ground and prepares to meet the oncoming wolf head on, should it come any further down into the road.

[zingbobco000]

Joe, waiting for the rest of his companions to follow him to get to this spot, is waiting, watching out for the wolves and the goblins

[MasterGhandalf]

Ezhera clutched her staff with both hands as she moved to stand in the middle of her companions, warily keeping an eye on the goblins and wolves as they closed in. Breathing deeply, she disciplined her mind, ready to bring its powers to bear on these creatures.

[zingbobco000]

Joe, not waiting a second longer quickly lashed out at the goblins, Throwing a bolt of cold at the wolf that was to his right.

[Bounty Hunter]

As his allies begin to fan out and attack the imposing foes, Graxaan grits his teeth and begins to focus his energy. He raises his mace and it begins to glow with a radiant aura, dim at first but quickly grows to white-hot. Swinging his mace down and leveling it at his foe he unleases a glowing lance of energy that erupts towards his foe. Radiant energy lashes out and flies towards the wolf north of the trail, which had just been victim to an icy attack at the hands of Joe.

[zingbobco000]

Joe looks at his dragonborn kin fjarr, as he seems to be immersed in deep thought. "What is he doing?" Joe yells as he is immersed in the thick of battle.

[Bounty Hunter]

The lance of radiant energy leaps towards it's target and finds purchase along the animals front right shoulder singing a burn mark into the animals fur. Graxaan maintains his readied stance facing northward towards the wounded animal. Glancing back over his left shoulder he motions to Joe with his free hand and instantly a radiant light begins to dance around the Dragonborn's green scales. Here! A blessing! Let the gods guide your blows against this creature." Just as he withdraws his mace from pointing at the wolf Dalekor clomps by, his mail amor clinking as he calls out past Graxaan to Fjarr to strike at the wolf as well. With any luck the animal would be disposed of quickly, that they might focus their attention to the more pressing threats to the south.

[zingbobco000]

As the holy light comes down upon Joe, he feels he strength grow and his power almost double. He yells back to Graxx "I feel it, I feel the power!!!! Thank you."

[darklink_shadow]

Fjarr snarls at his enemies, barring his teeth, and gnashing. His claw closed around the symbol "Four" on his palm. Unjust beasts, let's end them before they rain suffering on innocents. Inspired by Dalekor, he hurls a gout of dragonfrost at the indicated wolf, and then steels himself against the incoming threats.

Whoa, man, whoa. Good thing you only hit me with the acid splashing. Did you spend a feat to make your breath larger? I think it's 3x3 right? How did you nail everyone? Or... looks like you confused burst and blast.

Fjarr looks at the sky from the small of his back, confused about how he ended up there for a moment, but he quickly regains his focus and kicks his feet up, regaing his footing, before clawing at the air, and sending vicious blue claws of arcana and anger out to rend the wolves.

Isaak quickly disengages the goblin that was attempting to goad him into comflict with it. He twists his arms, splaying out his fingers and readying his mind.

"Though we have only just met, I regret what I must now do, friend," Isaak wails to the dragonborn between holy incantations, "but know that your sacrifice shall not be in vain!" A red light gleams in his eyes as he opens the minds of those before him to visions of their own deaths.
