Initial Assault - round 1 results

Sasha: Not liking the odds, you beat feet south through the fair grounds and find yourself practically tripping over a goblin. Before he notices you, you run him through the back with your rapier [ToHit: 11+3=14 vs AC 14; dmg: 5+1+ sneak attack 2 = 8], killing it instantly.

Gerund: Grabbing your sword and shield you vault over the kiosk (and the halfling) and charge forward to engage the goblin under the wagon, arriving just in time to see its corpse sliding off the rapier point of a young warrior woman, who looks as suprised at her accomplishment as the now dead goblin. You give her an encouraging salute then charge north to engage the cavorting goblins there. [note: you did not use your Smite]

Sasha: Seeing the blacksmith come barrelling up to you breaks you out of your reverie. You glance around for Seoni only to see that she has not followed you. n fact, she seems to be edging cautiously towards the attacking goblins. You sigh loudly and run in the opposite direction of the crowd to get to your friend.

Poot: You watch Gerund sprint to the wagon. He is you note, rather quicker than you. You catch up with him as he doubles back toward the north and begin singing an inspirational tune.

Goblin3: The little beastie waves his dogslicer menacingly and snarls at the crowd as they flee. Then he is distracted by the smell of lobster and starts stuffing his face with the Hagfish's best chowder.

Yola: With a fierce cry you charge towards the nearest goblin, dagger in hand. You attack the suprise creature with a viscious donward slash, killing it quickly [ToHit 14+3=17 vs AC15; dmg 6+2=8]

Seoni: One of the goblins dives headlong into a large cauldron of some sort of fish stew, and you see your opportunity. Chant a phrase of arcane power you Daze the creaure, clouding its simple mind [goblin attempts to resist: 11+0=11 vs DC 13 = failure].

Goblin4: jumps up onto a nearby table and starts throwing food at the crowd while laughing maniacally. [ ToHit:18 -1=17; dmg 1 non-lethal] Sasha catches a large carp in the head just as she catches up with Seoni.

Good round for the party: 2 goblins dead and the only damage in return is 1 point of non-lethal damage to Sasha a la flying carp! The initiative order remains the same for round 2 ( without the suprise round). Please post actions in comments.

Poot is going to continue maintaining his inspire competence +1 song as it spreads to the allies arounds him. Other than that he hurriedly tries to keep pace with Gerund.

(singing with vigor.)
"He's done nuffin' yet but I'm sure he will,
He's done jack all but I'm sure he will --
ohh he's done nuffin' yet but I'm sure he willllll...
For what's a paladin without a kill."

Gerund strode confidently and briskly towards Goblin #4, Poot's song in his ears, realizing soliloquy is lost with these creatures anyway and, using his sword, did his best to separate the goblin from itself.

Sasha pulled herself to her feet feeling her head throb from the carp-turned projectile weapon.

Looking up she saw a goblin dancing from side-to-side. It pointed and laughed at her. She knew “that” laugh. Her brothers had teased her mercilessly growing up before she learned how to fight back. Her face grew red and blood ran hot remembering a host of cruel jokes played at her expense.

“Seoni, can look after herself for a bit. This … is personal!” Sasha thought.

Grabbing the fish by the tail she screamed at the Goblin “Hey handsome! You forgot something!”
She put her full weight into her throw. The Goblin’s jaw dropped.

“And that’s exactly where I’m going to stick my rapier” Sasha thought as she lept towards the little snot.

after killing the goblin Yola spies the other goblin filling it's face with chowder, she runs and disembowles the creature with her knife.

She looks around for another goblin to kill.
