Glass and Wrath - Round 3 Results

The goblins press the attack against Yola and Sasha. Yola continues to duck out of the way of the tong wielding goblin in front of her, but again leaves herself open to the goblin on the table, who delivers another vicious slash to her left side. On the opposite side of the table, Sasha, not used to fighting in such confines quarters, missteps and gets caught in the ribs by her opponent. the molten glass sears right through her leather armor and she gasps at the sudden pain.

Poot begins his melody, and courage floods into his hard pressed companions.

Spurred on by Poot's magical inspiration and her own fury, Yola reigns a flurry of blows down on her attackers. The wily goblin on the table rolls out of the way of the onslaught, but the tong wielding goblin directly in front of her is not so lucky, falling to the floor with a crushed skull.

The Goblin under the table seems to be having great fun slashing at the humans exposed legs, and switches his attention to Sasha, but she manages to jump up onto the table to avoid the blade ( and the tong wielding goblin). Once there, she pivots to her left with a flourish and stabs the goblin already there straight through the back.

The goblin at the back of the pack who watched a magic missile arc over his head moments ago turns to see Gerund charging towards him. In an unusual display of courage, he holds his ground and readies his dogslicer. The Palaidin doesn't even break stride however as he parries the goblin's attack on he shield and separates his head from his shoulders in a single practiced swing.

The goblin that had been hurling glassware from the back of the room watches his companion's head spiral through the air, and understanding dawns. "Wait!" he screams to the other goblins. "Its them longshanks what stopped the raid! Run for your lives!" With that he hops off the table and runs as fast as his stumpy goblin legs will carry him away from the fight.

Three goblins down that round, but Yola and Sasha both take significant hits: Yola now has 8 HP left ( 6 once the rage wears off), and Sasha is down to 3HP. I've not posted an action for Seoni yet this round, as the situation has changed quite a bit from the beginning of the round. So Rachelle, you can lead us off by taking an action now, at the end of round 3, and then another for your regular turn in round 4. The surviving goblins are panicking now - take that into account when deciding what your character will be doing next.

Poot sends an arrow at gobo 2, seeing as gobo 1 is out of range.

Seoni is confident that Gerund and Poot will stop the remain goblin(s) that threaten Sasha and Yola.

The fleeing goblin must be stopped before he alerts others or escapes before he can be questioned. Unwilling to risk killing the creature before it can be questioned, Seoni Dazes it.

Seoni prepares to Missile any goblin that resists efforts to subdue it (round 4).

Sasha grasps her side and falls to the floor against the table.

Looking up at Poot she gives him a wink and a half-hearted smile, "I told you the pointy ends are suppose to go in the goblins" she says teasingly.

Touching the wound on her side Sasha winces and decides its better left alone.

"Halfling, maybe you could sing a lullaby - I'm rather tired all of a sudden."

Yola yelling to Sasha - get going rogue, there's one under the table that will get you if you don't get up and go.

Yola starts to jab under the table - if she's really lucky she'll grab hold of the gobo and smach him silly

"Agreed! Kill him or block his escape! I'll handle this one," Gerund said, continuing his charge towards Goblin #2, "Your friend seems to have lost his head, he won't be the only one," and he swung his sword [hopefully] depriving this goblin of his misshapen cranium.

[If successful, he will direct his attack to the goblin under the table]
