Day Six

[HorizonsDream]

Tavi takes aim with her crossbow at a goblin in the first row, closest to the tree. With the goblin in sight, she lets the bolt fly.

Hit Roll (20, crit)
Damage Roll (4)

[JadedDM]

Four goblins immediately engage Barlemus, swinging their maces at him. He manages to block two with his shield, but the other two connect. His chain mail may help protect him against the curve or point of a blade, but they do little against the crushing blows of the maces. He cries out in pain as one of his ribs cracks audibly.

Spatting some blood from his mouth, he immediately cuts down one of the goblins that hit him, dropping him like an old sack. It is of little consequence, as a new goblin is ready to take his place.

Tavi fires her crossbow at the other goblin that struck Barlemus, scoring a direct hit in his shoulder. This isn't enough to drop the goblin, though.

Arvin, meanwhile, breaks out his armor piercing arrows. He fires across the field, striking the chieftain in the arm. Immediately, he fires again, but this one strikes the ground at the chieftain's feet instead. "Damn it!" Arvin swears. "This may take longer than I first thought."

[HorizonsDream]

Tavi quickly loads up another bolt, and fires it at the same goblin. Sadly, she misses this time. "I picked the wrong idea," she mutters under her breath. "Hang in there, Barlemus!"

Hit Roll (5, miss)

[JadedDM]

Tavi takes aim at the same goblin and fires, but the bolt just sinks into the ground at his feet. Arvin fires another shot at the chieftain, but it just barely misses him. Swearing, the elf glares at Tavi. "If you want to help him, aim for the chieftain! Even if you help him kill a goblin or two, there are plenty more to take their place."

Looking down at the goblin hunter, Tavi sees that Barlemus' cap has fallen off in the battle and blood is trickling out of his mouth. He manages to fend off several attacks, then counter by cutting down a second goblin. Another one eagerly takes his place, and there are plenty more who are waiting for their turn, as well.

Drawing another arrow, Arvin lets it loose, and this time it finds its mark and embeds itself in the goblin's chest. The armor prevents it from going too deep, however.

Barlemus takes another swing with his blade, but it's slow and clumsy, and the goblins easily evade it.

Tavi lets out a small grunt, but changes her target to the goblin cheif.

Hit Roll (12+3 15, hit)
Damage Roll (2)

[JadedDM]

"Can't keep this up much longer!" Barlemus calls to the others. He has stopped fighting now, and is only focusing on staying alive as long as possible. Luckily, one of the goblins he is engaged with stumbles and drops his mace. Another one, though, smacks him lightly on the arm. Normally it wouldn't hurt much, but he was already bruised there to begin with, and the pain is renewed.

Meanwhile, the chieftain's bodyguards scramble a bit, trying to stop any more missiles from hitting their leader. Tavi's bolt and Arvin's first arrow are stopped by their shields, but Arvin's second arrow makes it through, catching the chieftain in the knee. "Don't stop firing," Arvin says, drawing another arrow. "We almost have him!"

Tavi fires another bolt at the chieftain.

Hit Roll(14, miss)

[JadedDM]

Tavi and Arvin let loose more missiles, but neither are able to find their mark. Meanwhile, the assault on Barlemus continues uninterrupted. He blocks one attack with his shield, but another on his flank swings his mace right at the warrior's head. With an audible crack, Barlemus collapses on the ground. A cheer rises up from the goblins, who then turn their sights on the two in the tree.

Swearing profusely in elven, Arvin fires a second arrow. This one hits the goblin chieftain right in the stomach, knocking him to his knees. But it is not enough to kill him.

"Barlemus!" Tavi cries out. She keeps up the assault on the leader though.


Hit Roll (13,miss)

[JadedDM]

Tavi and Arvin fire again, but neither of their missiles make it past the bodyguards' shields. Several goblins begin scaling the tree, murderous intent in their eyes.

"This is our last chance," Arvin says, taking aim. His bowstring suddenly snaps, though. He stares at it in disbelief.

(Actions for Round 7?)

[HorizonsDream]

Tavi quickly loads up another bolt, trying to ignore the fact that there were goblins in the tree. She let the bolt fly towards the leader.

Hit Roll (15,hit)
Damage Roll (4)

[JadedDM]

Just as the goblins were climbing close enough to attack, Tavi lets loose one last bolt. It sails through the air, seemingly in slow motion from her perspective, and then nails the chieftain right between the eyes.

Their leader dead, the bodyguards begin to panic and scatter into the woods. Hearing the commotion, the goblins surrounding and in the tree start to do likewise, their massive superstition preventing them from easily claiming a victory, even leaderless.

[HorizonsDream]

Upon seeing the goblins retreating, Tavi climbs down from the tree. Quickly, she moves to Barlemus' side to try and stop any bleeding that might be occurring.

[JadedDM]

Tavi quickly climbs down the tree, but is surprised to find Barlemus missing. His leather cap and blood stained sword are there, and there's blood on the grass where he fell, but his body is just...gone.

[HorizonsDream]

"Arvin, Barlemus is...gone!" Tavi calls up to the elf.
