Episode 1.3: Ambush! (Dylan)

Mica helped set up a few tripwire in the trap area and Veronica helped make a few grass knots as well. The ambush spot is set. Mica decline Dylan's offer and climbed a tree herself. Veronica hid in the trees as well.

you caused a commotion in the goblin camp. The group you taunted started following you running with their clubs and stones. You arrive at the area where you set up an ambush.

Veronica and Mica used arrow and magic at your enemies.

Roll Initiative!

Oh my! You've taunted quite a lot of enemies. Does Mica even have enough arrows for all of these enemies? You see three goblins in hide hooded robes, four are normal goblins, and the other four carry clubs. You have the opportunity to make the first attack.

Round 1

Dylan's somber song made the shadow rise and covered the area in darkness. The goblins ignored this however, they are blessed with eyes that can see well in the dark. They are looking at Dylan conversing in their own language and thinking of how they'd get the flying man down the ground. The goblins fail to notice that Dylan is not alone.

Mica shot an arrow that pierced straight through a goblin mage's head! The goblin fell down on the ground in an instant causing the other goblins to cry. "How noisy!" Veronica says as she chant words and cast a spell over Dylan's darkness.

In the darkness Dylan and Mica saw a shadow cloud emerge from the ground. For the goblins they saw what fear in the shadows. Some goblins collapse in the ground, other goblins are crouch down and shake in fear. Only a few were able to withstand the sinister effect of Veronica's spell.

A goblin mage launched a ball of soil and rock but missed its mark.

How did..!?

Dylan looked down and saw some of the goblins fall asleep. They might get a good shot at this. Dylan continues singing to maintain the gloom and uses his shadow tentacle to bind the mage unaffected by Veronica's spell.

Round 2

Dylan's shadow tentacle emerged from the darkness below a goblin mage. It wraps around its legs, arm, and head making it unable to do anything. It tried tobreak free from the hold but the bind was just too strong.

Mica shot an arrow at the goblin. The arrow landed at its chest, it didn't land on any of its vital parts though. The goblin could still move.

"You can handle all of those, I'm gonna take a rest." Veronica says before resting on a branch up a tree.

"You're powerful. Can't you just end all of these goblins already?" Mica replies.

"Too much work, that's bad for my skin." The dark fairy answers.

As the two ladies converse, some of the goblins tried to climb up the tree where Mica and Veronica are. Some stumbled, tripped by the trap the group set earlier. The frightened goblins submitted to their fears and fell asleep. You hear the goblins speak in their slumber, words you cannot understand, except for the word Guelag which you often hear them say.

Round 3

Dylan strengthens the dark tentacle's grasp of the goblin mage, the mage couldn't escape the hold, some of its bones snap. Veronica whispers a few chants and the dark tentacles grasp tightens and kills the goblin.

Mica shoots two arrows, one for the climbing goblin and one for the goblin on the ground. She landed a hit on one goblin on the head and on the climbing goblin's torso but just before it could fall down the ground it pulls on Mica's leg causing her to fall with it. Mica falls prone down the ground as well.

"Aw.." Mica's hurt and prone.

"..." Veronica just ignores her.

"Gueee!" The goblin that pulled Mica down suffered damage as well, it went unconscious soon after it hits the ground.

""Gggguaa" A goblin tries to retreat from Dylan's darkness but is tripped by a grassknot.

Dylan couldn't catch the escaping goblin. The goblin retreats back to camp.

He eliminated the rest of the goblins by strangulation. The goblins never woke up from their terrible sleep. The darkness ended as soon as Dylan's song ended.

"Ouch... I, think my leg's broken." Mica says as she tries to sit down and check on her body.

"Just listen to this pervert's song and you'll be fine." Veronica folds her arms and flies down where Mica is.

Dylan couldn't assess if Mica indeed broke her leg but it is obvious that she's hurt.

Dylan starts singing a serene song and gradually Mica's wounds start to heal.

After a minute of Dylan's singing. Mica recovers. She tried to stand up and check if her leg's ok. Her leg's ok.

"Thanks." She says to Dylan.

"You should go check up on Tony." Mica says.

Time pass fast. You're not sure how many minutes does Veronica have left but you estimate that you still have around 10 minutes. Veronica follows you but she's still ignoring you and her arms are still folded. She's keeping distance.

Mica sighs. Dylan's bossiness persuaded her to follow. After all, it was Dylan that made the ambush plan and his plan actually worked well, except for the miscalculation of her falling from a tree. Dylan also healed her. She owes much from him but still she's clearly pissed off of the way he talks to her. She clenches her fist and frowns in frustration.

Dylan leads the group to the southern gate of the village. There are no guards but the party can see that the remaining of the goblins gather around the center in front of the biggest tent in the encampment.
