SorenKnight's G's G&G Red Hand of Doom Campaign
Drellin's Ferry is a quiet town, for all that it borders on the edge of the civilized lands in the Vale. A wide river, from which the town gets its name, protects it from the average raider, and its isolated location means that not many new faces are seen in town.
And yet you've found the road quite crowded. No less than three strangers accompany you on the road, all heavily armed adventurers much like yourself*
And then you notice something else...
The road crests a small rise and descends into a dusty grove in a large,
shallow dell. An abandoned farmhouse, partially visible through the trees, stands on one side of the road. You’ve passed a dozen spots
much like this one already today, but this one feels wrong. Then you
glimpse the glint of mail through the brush by the side of the road.
Fierce warriors—tall, hairy humanoids with wide mouths and flat
faces—are lying in wait!
Spoiler: Map
You're the purple dots, btw. Meant to give you more accurate, but my Photoshop license ran out a while ago, leaving me to use less familiar, but freer software.

Spoiler: OOC(1d20+13)[19] Intimidate, just on the off-chance their nerve can be shaken this early on.
Note that, until I switch to Greathammer Style (on my turn), I'm rocking 23 AC, not 21.

Re: SorenKnight's G's G&G Red Hand of Doom Campaign
The hobgoblins raise their heads to the sky and howl, matched by unearthly howls from the woods behind you.
For the glory of the Red Hand! A voice calls out from the ruined farmhouse in the guttural language of the goblinoids. May the weak die and the strong prosper beneath the eyes of Tiamat!
Initiative
Edit: Apparently I still don't know how the dice roller works. I'm going to fiddle around in the dice roll thread until I figure it out, then post with the enemy initiatives.
Current Initiative
Aukum: 27
Hobgoblin Bladebearer: 18
Hellhounds: 16
Hobgoblin Regulars: 14
Kila: 13
Doom Hand Cleric: 12
Spoiler: Current Map
Bladebearer moves to block off the path to the Cleric, assuming that neither Maram nor does anything too drastic before 18 initiative. The blurry bit is the Obscuring Mist, either that or a tea stain. How did I get a tea stain on an entirely digital image?
Well, I am extraordinarily talented.Last edited by SorenKnight; 2018-03-09 at 09:11 PM.

The archer turns without hesitation, snapping off two arrows at the bestial howling from the woods behind you. A smoldering mongrel tumbles through the bushes with an arrow through its neck while its very much alive, very much on fire companion leaps at the foe who claimed its mate's life, howling with pain and loss, completely disregarding the arrow through its shoulder.

Re: SorenKnight's G's G&G Red Hand of Doom Campaign
Kila lets out a primal roar of fury and power, no longer concerned with intimidating her foes, simply announcing I AM HERE in a wordless bellow of combat prowess. As she roars, she charges out from the mist towards the Cleric, aiming to incapacitate their casting before they can shoot off any spells.
Her hammer smashes into the cleric's shield, before she swings it into the hobgoblin themself.
Spoiler: OOCOkay, making sure I do this right...
Free action, switch to Greathammer style.
Step 1: AoO, negated due to Improved Sunder.
Step 2: Opponent and I roll off.
I will roll for the Cleric, no idea what their mods are, so just straight d20: (1d20)[8]
Then, roll for me. (1d20+20)[27] +4 due to being Large, effectively, +2 due to Greathammer, +5 due to Improved Sunder (4+1/4 BAB, with G&G), +5 due to BAB, +6 due to Strength, +1 due to G&G Competence bonus, +1 due to enhancement bonus, +1 due to Weapon Focus, -5 due to Power Attack (want this shield GONE!).
Step 3: Damage! (3d6+15)[21]
Then, assuming I succeeded on the base roll, I get to make an attack, as per G&G, so smashing time!
(1d20+9)[26]
(3d6+5)[9] Edit: Should be 10 higher. Meant to type +15, but missed the 1.
Edit II: I wanted to declare smite. So, if evil, add +5 to attack rolls.Last edited by JNAProductions; 2018-03-09 at 10:44 PM.

Re: SorenKnight's G's G&G Red Hand of Doom Campaign
Your hammer falls with the weight of fate's judgement, crashing into your enemy's raised shield with the echoing cry of a great bell sounding its death knell. Steel shrapnel that used to be a shield embeds itself in trees thirty feet away and the hobgoblin cleric stumbles backwards, hateful battle cries replacing with gurgling blood as he breathes his last breath.
The hobgoblin soldiers look upon you with expressions of pure horror... but then you hear laughter ringing out to your right.
Excellent! the bladebearer roars. Azarr Kul has worthy foes to conquer! I had feared that all you Vale-landers would be weak and soft, unworthy to die at his hands.
The grunts stiffen at the reminder of their leader, fear dispelled, and they attack Kila Dawnchaser as one.

Re: SorenKnight's G's G&G Red Hand of Doom Campaign
Infernal brains spray out across the forest floor and the hellhound's flames die down into smoldering embers.
The hobgoblin regulars on Kila's side of the road rush her, egged on by the Bladebearer. The Hellhound by the cleric delayed its turn and flanks with the Regulars, leaving you beset on all sides while arrows rain down on you from the other side of the road.
Spoiler: OOC
First Regular to reach you Attack(1d20+4)[10] and Damage (1d8+1)[7]
Hellhound Attack (1d20+5)[24] and Damage (1d8+1)[3] fire (1d6)[4]

The five across the road shoot at Kila, but the intervening plants give you some pretty decent cover Attacks (1d20+1)[8] (1d20+1)[8] (1d20+1)[21] (1d20+1)[21] (1d20+1)[12]

Re: SorenKnight's G's G&G Red Hand of Doom Campaign
Aukan, moves out of the mist, shadows enveloping ends of his shilloette as he move. He tosses his hand back as a small acidic ball forms in his hand before throwing at Kila's feet. "Acidball!" Acid roars up around her, engulfing the hobgoblins.
Spoiler: OOCAukan moves down(east I believe on the map) and casts fireball(modded to acid by energy trick) directly on Kila and uses Spell Shaping to exclude Kila herself from the blast. Due moving while in child of shadows stance, he now has concealment.

"Aye, you're a bigger fool than you look, coming this close to a legendary warrior like Maram Battlebeard!" Maram taunted as he closed with the Bladebearer now in their midst, his axe held aggressively outward toward his foe, "But your weapon will make a nice trophy!"
With a furious slash, Maram drew his axe across Hobgoblin and his weapon in one full swing!

Kila eyes up the remaining warriors. Not all is lost-those who yet live, can still surrender, she says, loud enough to be heard by all. If the bladebearer tries to talk her down, she'll charge him.

"AHAHAHA! No problem, lassie! You've a great fighting style about ye, reminds me of my sister Opal. Aye, she's a great warrior, tough as a Dragon, she is! And twice as fierce!" Maram said encouragingly, grinning widely at Kila before looking annoyed. "Though...with one of his blades shattered and another somewhere in those woods...ah, I missed my chance for a great trophy...oh, I suppose it doesn't matter. We've still won!" With a chuckle, he looks around, his hand held out, his hand also glowing, "I know I didn't get hit, but does anyone need a quick touch-up?"

Aukan nods. "I am fine. I was hoping for something to shake up my delivery job." Aukan comments. Though, I have to wonder if it's routine for this to occur in the area. Something about 'Tiamat' I recall them shouting." Aukan looks at the carnage left behind curiously.

Re: SorenKnight's G's G&G Red Hand of Doom Campaign
Your sister sounds like quite the woman, Kila says with a brief smile. And while I'll apologize for depriving you of a trophy, I won't change how I fight-my hammer was designed to quash lesser blades, and I'd rather have you live to be annoyed at having no trophy than die to a blade I could've broken.
Spoiler: OOC(1d20+2)[16] For Religion, to know about Tiamat.
Is there still the rule that you can't roll above 10 if untrained?
Edit: Imma make an assumption about what I can know. If I know too much, just let me know, Soren, and I'll edit this.
I believe Tiamat is the queen of dragons, Kila provides. She's an unholy fiend who, like many dragons, has an unbounded greed and appetite.Last edited by JNAProductions; 2018-03-12 at 10:08 AM.

Re: SorenKnight's G's G&G Red Hand of Doom Campaign
Did anyone else realize what the Hellhounds not disappearing meant? Somewhere there is a much stronger cleric or mage, as if the cleric had summoned them, they would vanish. Also, anyone mind if I search the area? I might see if reinforcements are coming, or if they had any other victims. Also, my name is Emma, but I often go by Enn. Also, I was a bit hurt by that warrior, but not badly
The short, brown haired woman then scrambles up the bank towards the cottage, scanning the woods (also, I can make it in one turn, due to my foot speed of 50 ft, but am moving at 30 ft pace.)
