Aegis' Dungeoncrawler In-Character

[TheFallenOne]

"Orchid?" His voice was too low for her to hear as he gave air to his surprise to see another of their group conscious. "Over here!" Solstafir rushed in the direction of her cry fast as he could. Goblins with melee weapons would be easy enough given his Astral Vambraces if he got there in time.

[Sparce]

Geraldo takes the harpoon from Solstafir and crawls as fast as he can in the direction of Orchid's voice, hoping to make it in time before the goblins get to her.

[Aegis013]

The three of you quickly find each other in the tunnel, moving as quickly as you can through the tight space, it seems Orchid can match pace with the goblins. Due to the curving nature of the tunnel, charging isn't an option.

However, you can hear goblins coming from behind Solstafir and Geraldo as well, the tunnels echo with the whooping and hollering of the grotesque little monsters. Another pair comes into view, the one in front has a crudely forged iron shield and the goblin following it is holding a small clay jar in one hand and a dagger coated with some kind of slimy substance in the other, it also carries three more daggers hanging from a raggedy belt made of animal skins.

You have 10ft of space separating you from the pairs of goblins on either side and are surrounded in the small tunnel.

The giant remains quiet.

Orchid gains 1 HP. (I forgot to mention the gain in the last round wrap up post, so 8 have been gained including this one, 3 remain to be gained before Lesser Vigor expires, which would put Orchid at 5 HP now I think.)

The Giant has taken 12 damage.

Orchid, Geraldo and Solstafir may act.

[TheFallenOne]

Solstafir's dwarven legs were slower than Geraldo's longer step and he found himself bringing up the rear, soon with another pair of goblins on his tail. Poison again it looked like. Coated on a dagger swung by a goblin it shouldn't be a problem for him. "Orchid, take the middle and I see if I can patch you up!" His claim was immediately followed by a surge of divine energy enveloping his weapon as he brought his axe down at the shieldbearing goblin covering his comrade.

Orchid squeezes through to the area Solstafir directs her to.

"I'm glad to see that you two have managed well."

"Well enough, I suppose. After we clean up these goblins we need a plan to take out the bear and giant."

Geraldo lets Orchid squeeze past him and moves towards the goblins in the front to lay into them with his weapons.

[Aegis013]

Solstafir finds it awkward to get a good swing of his axe in the cramped quarters and he finds his attack is deflected by the goblin's crude iron shield.

Geraldo positions himself so Orchid is in the middle of the trio and manages to cut down the goblin with the wooden shield, it collapses onto the ground its life taken by the curved blade's strike.

The iron shield goblin goes on full defense, attempting to barricade the group in. +4 AC for the goblin.

The goblin behind flings its slime coated dagger at Solstafir.
(1d20)[18] - it only hits on a 20 due to the -4 for throwing into melee.
On a hit, deals (1d3)[2] damage and if that could beat Solstafir's damage reduction, would require a Fort save DC 12 against the poison, but it can't succeed.

The giant remains quiet and has still taken 12 total damage.

Geraldo, Orchid, and Solstafir may act.

[TheFallenOne]

Seeing the goblin going for pure defense hiding behind his shield Solstafir switched tactics, throwing his arms wide to wrap him in a bear hug, using his superior bulk to crush the goblin against his own shield.

"I have one last scroll of power word pain right here. I'm not sure if it will finish the giant, but it would go a long way to wearing him down." Orchid comments, noting the scroll she is holding under her arm.

"The only issue is getting him to stand still so that I can get it off without getting smacked. If we can keep the giant grounded somewhere, I have three couple scroll of lesser vigor I can use to get everyone else up."

She then looks sad for a moment, contemplating the giant. "I just wish there was a way to help the other head, but I think death is its only out. I think that voice that spoke to us in infer-."

Orchid stops that train of that as she sees Geraldo get struck by the spear. In haste, she draws out a scroll of lesser vigor and begins the chant for it.

"Argh! Why you...Thanks, but probably should have saved that for our companions outside. Solstafir said he's got some healing powers."

Geraldo grunts in pain as he gets impaled by the spear, but quickly shakes it off. After acknowledging Orchid, he takes a step forward in an attempt to cleave the goblin in half.

[TheFallenOne]

Letting the unconscious goblin slump to the ground Solstafir closed the short distance to its now coverless partner. "You really think you can just ignore me like that? Bad idea pal." He pushed into the goblin hard with his shield to bring it off-balance, using the opening to deliver a vicious uppercut with his dwarven axe again glowing with divine energy.

Orchid lets out a curse at herself for messing up the activation. Seeing that she may just get in the way at the moment, Orchid elects to keep the scroll ready just incase another severe injury is sustained. "I think I'll just stay out of the way and keep the scroll ready just in case."

Spoiler: OOC

Orchid readies an action to try activating the scroll again in case an ally takes severe damage.

[Aegis013]

Solstafir decapitates the poison wielding goblin. Its body drops to the ground as its head rolls down the hallway, its last thoughts being to wonder what just happened. The clay jar falls to the floor.
On a 1, it breaks. On a 2, it tips over and spills some onto the floor. On a 3, it lands upright and retains all of its remaining poison doses (1d3)[2]

Orchid prepares for the worst and gains 1 HP. Lesser Vigor expires.

Geraldo is finding these cramped quarters to be more of a nuisance than he'd hoped.

The spear goblin, being the last goblin standing, recklessly attacks Geraldo with everything its got in a final blaze of glory. It lets out a gurgling goblin battle cry as it attempts to impale the human in front of it.

[TheFallenOne]

"Dammit, just get out of there before you get beat up by a single goblin." Solstafir tried to force his way past Orchid and Geraldo, hoping for their cooperation in switching positions so he can block the attacks of the final and seemingly quite formidable goblin.

I assume I need two moves for this, if I have a standard action left let me know, I'd go for a trip attempt.

We only have a very limited amount of healing left so any more damage we take here might mean one less unconscious body we can bring back up. That goblin already cost us a lot,

Geraldo takes Solstafir's advice and squeezes past both of them to take up position on the other side in case more goblins come in that way.

Solstafir slips past his companions in an effort to bring the goblin down. The goblin takes the opportunity of his approach and gleefully attempts to stab him, drunk on its success against Geraldo.

[TheFallenOne]

The goblin scored a shallow wound on Solstafir's arm, the spear's tip despite a solid thrust only penetrating half an inch. A moment later even that faded completely as the dwarf grabbed his opponent and failed to wrestle him to the ground. Unperturbed, he again closed the distance and tried to kick the goblin's legs out from under him.

Orchids silent watches the goblin and Solstafir go at it, feeling awkward herself as she watches the two continuously play a game of who can trip who. She wonders at this point if she should have bought a spear or if she would have enough time to cook a meal before the goblin was killed.

Spoiler: OOC

As before.

[Aegis013]

Geraldo watches.

The goblin is unable to attack with its longspear in response to the touch attack due the unwieldy length of the weapon, but narrowly avoids Solstafir's attempt to trip.

The goblin again steps back and continues trying to skewer the dwarf. He lets out a screech from inside his crudely crafted horned iron helmet.

The goblin attempts to avoid being tripped (1d20+1)[5]

It goes down crashing into the ground. The goblin, in a panic, springs to its feet, narrowly avoids Solstafir's attempt to grab it and retreats 10ft into the tunnel, turning and readying its spear while breathing heavily. Its hasty retreat would provoke an AoO if Solstafir could make two AoOs in one round.

If you approach it, you'll provoke an attack of opportunity.

Solstafir moved after the retreating goblin, taking a hit that cut through his trousers only to then harmlessly bounce off his bare skin. "Come a little closer Geraldo, I'll try to finish this!" His axe came crashing down at the panicked goblin, going for his left shoulder with a butcher's chop.
