quote:

The Kingdom of Ulova is a land of pastoral beauty and shocking savagery. King Thuon rules from his castle in the bustling city of Stoneburg. His knights defend the land against raids by the goblins of the Treacherous Hills, while the Tanglebranch Forest harbors enclaves of Wood Elves and their deadly enemies, the Gnolls. The Granite Mountains are home to the ancient Kingdom of the Dwarves, while in the far north, the Evil Dark Lord Sytthas threatens to bring all free peoples under his terrible yoke, with his hordes of undead warriors, orcs, goblins, and evil Sorcerers.

Our story begins with our four adventurers ...


Agni, Aasimar Fire Mage by Ryuujin
Fleabag, Catfolk Rogue by JackMann
Cary, Merfolk Marksman by zachol
Stragen, Halfling Warlord by Bleu


... conversing in the The Warrior's Alehouse, when they feel a deep rumbling in the ground. Cups and mugs begin to tumble over, and as the shaking grows in strength, soon chairs and tables start clattering as well. Cary's yak starts baying loudly in panic outside, while the other bar patrons and the bartender take cover underneath whatever they can find.

Fleabag, you can sense a direction behind the rumbling. It seems to be traveling underneath and across the tavern, towards the town's main street.

Everyone hears the cracking of rock and the shifting of a great amount of soil.

What do you do?

As Cary opens the door to the outside, she and Fleabag both see a 15-foot hole right in the middle of the street.

Pawford is a small town, so the street is really just a dirt road that people have been building houses next to, but nevertheless there's a dark chasm where packed earth used to be.

The yak is still shaken, and it looks like it might have loosened the wooden stakes it was tied to in its fright, but it calms a little at the sight of its mistress.

Looking around, you see the rest of the townsfolk slowly coming to, but they're staying well indoors. It's difficult to peer deeper into the hole, but the sides of it aren't sheer, and it should be possible to climb down.

Fleabag skirts to the edge of the sinkhole and finds that it extends deep below the earth and extends back in the direction of the tavern. In the dim light, he makes out two fat giant rodents with teeth the size of plate-glass windows. They seem to be scurrying deeper into the cavern, which only becomes wider and wider further in.



Since you're stealthed and completely undetected, I'm not committing you to combat just yet. You can still come back out and plan with the rest of the group, if you want, but now you know what to expect

At this point I'd like to ask for Stealth rolls for those that are going to try to get in close, to determine if you get a surprise round and how close you start to the moles, or those that won't be sneaking in (or are caught) will start at the entrance of the cave.

Fleabag - you get a surprise round, which means you can take a Standard or Move Action, then you can also take your first normal round right after. The moles are caught Flat-footed.

Stragen and Cary - you can act in the first normal round. No surprise, but the moles are still Flat-footed.

Agni - you can act in the first normal round. The moles would no longer be Flat-footed, but I doubt that'd matter much with your attacks.

JackMann posted:

Attacking Mole 1 in the surprise round as a standard action, getting a 10 on the attack. Moving from there to the space on the other side of Mole 1; as the moles are flat footed, they should be unable to take attacks of opportunity. Making two attacks using TWF with sneak-attack, as they are still flat-footed, with the rapier at 20 (natural 18, but only a 13 to confirm) and the short sword at 15. Damage on the first sneak attack would be 3, in the off-chance it hits, damage on the rapier attack is 11 (or 6 if sneak attack doesn't apply) and the short sword hits for 9 (or 6 again if no sneak attack).

* Your first attack would indeed miss by 1.
* Correct, no attacks of opportunity since the moles are still Flat-footed
* Your rapier attack would be a normal hit/unconfirmed crit with Sneak Attack, so 11 damage to Mole 1
* Your short sword attack would be a normal hit with Sneak Attack, so another 9 damage to Mole 1, killing it

Both moles are slain quickly, but not soon after you hear footsteps coming your way, along with the slight 'clink' of equipment. Quite a number of someones or somethings are coming!

Updated map to follow - we're still technically in combat and in rounds, although I'll rule that:

* Agni, you get to take movement to adjust yourself relative to your current position on the map
* Cary, you also get to take movement, since you said you beelined to the mole corpses to butcher them, and your Stamina recovers
* Stragen, you get to recover your spent maneuver

Map update after Cary's 2-square movement:



The black squares are bottomless pits.

Turn order:

1. Agni still gets to make just a Movement Action as a hold-over from the 1 round dealing with the moles
2. Then all four of you get to take a normal turn each. I'll rule that if you roll an Initiative higher than 12, you get to attack their Flat-footed AC.
3. Then the goblins
4. Then it cycles normally

If any fail the save they not only take full damage but also catch Fire from the Burn feat, not sure if they get another save DC 13 to avoid or if that is only for when punching things. Burn has them take 1d6+1 fire damage per round until they put it out. Either way lesser goblin 5 should be dead.


If I'm not mistaken, a movement of S-S-SE-SE, or a movement of S-S-SE-S would provoke an attack of opportunity from Lesser Goblin 3. Just making sure.

... and you knock out Lesser Goblin 7. No sense dragging it out with more combat rounds, just tell me how one of you did it. And what you plan to do with the Goblin afterwards.

You also recover loot from the battle*

Scroll of Cure Moderate Wounds (150 gp)
Scroll of Flaming Sphere (150 gp)
Scroll of Mage Armor (25 gp)

Eagle's Splendor Potion (300 gp)
Cure Light Wounds Potion (50 gp)
Potion of Blur (300 gp)
Potion of Guidance (25 gp)

Masterwork Dagger (302 gp)
Masterwork Scimitar (315 gp)
Masterwork Buckler (165 gp)




(the gp value in parentheses is the selling price, if and when you want to sell it when you get back to town)



and 1892 gp (473 gp each if you split it evenly)


As all of you (except Cary) has seen, this tunnel widens and turns off to the left. Right now you don't sense anyone else, but a slight breeze and Fleabag's keen sense of smell tells him that there's more Goblins that're farther down the large stone cavern, even if they're a ways away.


* this is a hack-and-slash game, so I gotta reward y'all with loot, and I don't want to have to contort an in-universe justification for where all this stuff is coming from. Maybe they just drop it when they die.


EDIT: The weapons and the buckler are Masterwork. Also, you don't need UMD to cast those scrolls.

Cary: you canvass among the townsfolk for anyone willing to help, and eventually one of them manages to get a word in edgewise. Glenda volunteers to use her bandages and poultices and knowledge of healing practices to help the party get back on its feet.

Glenda can, in between battles, heal each of you for a maximum daily amount equal to your max HP. She has no skill in combat, so she'll stay back unless something particularly dire happens or you really need her to get in there.

Everyone: Stragen ties up the goblin but good in the tavern's sturdiest looking chair. He'll come to soon.

Describe how you're going to interrogate him, and then roll with the relevant skill to see how many questions he'll answer truthfully.

No more attackers followed you out of the underground, but the occasional temblor belies the peace. You have time to do maybe one more thing besides the interrogation before you'll need to deal with the tunnel on a more permanent basis.

Fleabag:

"Big tribe coming, but none as strong as we! We advance party, clear path for rest of many warriors"

The party retraces their steps down the goblin tunnel, past the pits and through some perforated, immolated and decapitated bodies, rounds the corner to the left, and finds the following scene:



The two moles not only have goblins riding them, but they have some sort of metal barding that the ones you encountered previously did not have. The large animals strain against their harnesses and seem eager to move.

At the center of the cavern is a jumble of scaffolding, more than 15 feet tall, stretching to the top where a spiderweb of more wood seems to buttress the ceiling. Standing at the highest level of the scaffolding is a goblin swathed in colorful cloth rags and glass beads, yammering on and moving this way and that as it directs the other goblins standing below. Every now and then he gets especially irritated at another goblin below, stamps his feet, and a bit of soil shakes loose from above him.

And of those goblins standing below, they are all holding obsidian daggers and axeheads, looking up occasionally to the one above them before starting to form up into ranks. They don't seem quite as menacing as the ones you had just faced earlier.

What do you do? You're coming from the lower left corner and have not been seen yet.

Stragen decapitates the goblin that was menacing (not really threatening, you know?) Agni, and the scaffolding rumbles just a little bit louder as the Warlord's curved knife cuts away more of its foundation

[1] The Mole took a swipe at Cary as she tried to shoot it, but she manages to wriggle away in time.

[2] Meanwhile, Agni unleashes a burst of flame to incinerate one Goblin and singe the other

Goblin Underling 7 is killed!
Goblin Underling 10 takes 1 damage and is Wounded


I must say Cary's AC is impressively high for an archer.

Going straight to the Goblin's turn because no change (no offense! :sweatdrop:)

Goblin Turn:

[1] The Mounted Mole burns to death in front of Cary (yes, any 1 damage would have killed it, but I wanted to roll to see how crisped it'd get)
[2] Goblin Underling 10 moves up to flank Fleabag, and it and Underling 8 attack him: one of them hits Fleabag for 2 damage
[3] The 4 other Underlings all double-move into the fray
[4] Two more Underlings come running into the area

[1] Stragen kills Goblin Underling 12
[2] The scaffolding takes further damage. It's now visibly leaning to one side and water is beginning to drip from the ceiling
[3] Agni incinerates another three Goblins (you didn't move before or after, did you?)
[4] Fleabag slays Goblin Underling 8

Cary's arrow pierces right through the closer Goblin, killing it.

End of Round 4.

Goblin Turn:

[1] The two newly-arrived Goblins are somewhat more apprehensive about approaching our heroes, and instead move up to the scaffolding and try to pull its leaning frame back. They add 6 THP to the scaffolding.
[2] More of their tribesmen arrive on the scene
[3] I'm going to need Perception checks from everyone. Go ahead and take your turn though.

Since you made an unarmed attack without Improved Unarmed Strike, the scaffolding takes an Opportunity Attack

Just kidding! It's a piece of wood, no attack roll needed. Agni shakes its foundations as it ignites and starts to burn.
