Chapter 4 ~ Back to Beamish Hall

Otis - Fighter

Otis sighs as he approaches the hobs and their encampment, visibly deflated at not being able to engage the hobgoblins. His demeanor perks a bit as he smells the roasting opossum. "Mmmm... I am a bit hungry." He ignores his stomach and he lets the others search as he stands watch at the edge of the encampment. He nods toward the dark recesses of the fort and says "These fellas was guarding somthin' for sure. We probably shouldn't stay here too long. But I'm all for takin' their food."

OOC: Is it too late to enter, or do we just poke around a bit before withdrawing for the day? If we pull back, we could set up a cold camp and keep an eye on the dead hobs and their campsite, and see if anyone/anything comes to check on them. Otis will also ask if the dead guys have any daggers or weapons. He's interested in picking up a dagger.

Fungo munches on Possum, hoping it's not playing dead.

I say we go in now. We still have daylight left, and we're prepared for things that bump in the night. What's the worst that could happen? concludes the hobbit, tempting fate so hard it hurts.

[herself]

Susanna nods. “Now, we have surprise. They find all this, will be on guard. Let’s go while we have adva- advant-“ She frowns. “Upper hand.”

Erwin takes a look at the bodies. They are wearing leather armor and have bronze tipped spears, clubs, and bronze daggers. The shortbows they had are of average quality. Each warrior has a quiver with a dozen bronze tipped arrows.

Each hobgoblin has bits of silver, copper, and bronze jewelry worth approx 15sp each, for a total of 90sp.


As Susanna takes a few steps into the left pathway, she suddenly hears heavy footfalls.
Charging towards her is another of the hobgoblins! He is brandishing a club and roars a challenge!

Initiative...Susanna 4, hobgob 2...Susanna gets to act first.

Moonglimmer is still at the entrance.

Can she fire on the hobgoblin before he enters melee?

[herself]

Susanna will brace for impact, and raise her mace to strike when the hobgoblin comes into melee range!

"If anyone needs a weapon, now is your chance," Erwin says.

Erwin looks up at the commotion, bracing his staff for an attack.

[badams30]

OOC: For Otis' action he was keeping watch, does he have a chance to attack this thing?
(and when this is over, he'll grab a dagger)

[jcftao]

Moonglimmer is in the entrance of the fort, but she will only see the hobgoblin as it comes around a bend on the left side to engage Susanna.

Otus is keeping watch at the edge of the encampment. He hears the commotion but cannot see it yet.

Susanna swings hard at the hobgoblin knocking it off its feet. It lays motionless in the pathwath.

Once more, a stillness settles over the rungfort. You still have a few hours of daylight left.

What do you do?

Susanna's attack...17,,,a hit! 2 points of damage....just enough to kill the creature!

[greyarea]

Fungo grabs a bow and arrows for it. He will check out the leather armor to see if it smells any better (or fits better) than what he's found so far.

He congratulates Susanna on whacking the hobgoblin. Let's explore the fort thing, he suggests.
