Brewner of Noric

Descent into the Underdark

Massively outnumbered and surrounded, Brewner grips his Savage Warhammer tightly and prepares for the worst. He will make his ancestors proud and face the goblin horde with courage. He lifts his chin and takes a deep breath.
It is at this moment that he observes the rough wall, the platforms and the darkness in the highest part of the cave.

Whispering Brewner says "We climb...yes we can climb, high enough where the darkness meet the cavern wall"

He quickly prepare the rope with the grappling hook and throws to the highest platform that he can see, give one strong pull to make sure his well stuck.

" Oliver and Grinfletch you two first. Quickly, quicky my friends"

OOC:

That is not a bad idea, in case a lonely goblin comes to close

OOC:

just in case GM wants a roll for the grappling hooks, I’ll throw my grappling hook as well and roll for it.

Grinfletch, seeing Brewner’s plan, quickly copies him and throws up a grappling hook of his own.

Failing this, he passes the grappling hook to Oliver, knowing that Mr Otter at least is an expert in slinging things. Here Oliver, you try it. Also, I have plenty of alcohol arrows and alcohol flasks here, if you want to try something. He hands two of the flasks to Oliver and then, relying on his dungeoneering experience to find his footing, he climbs up Brewner’s rope into the outcroppings above.

OOC:

Not sure if GM will want any of these rolls, but here they are just in case.

Something tells me I need to wait for the goblins. However, very good call: an out-of-turn action is surely the best way to get Psibermagi to respond :P

Can I try to scan a few goblin's minds and get some basic information from them. Like, I want to try and start some mental in fighting...

Anyone can TRY anything. Outcome depends on your abilities and the situation. If you want to try something just state your attempt, with added hoped outcome, as you did so that helps, and roll dice.

Ricardoi91 says:

Can we travel that distance in time? Basically, Brewner will wait for everyone to be able move and pass.

The major grid lines are 10'. You guys move about 25' for 1 action so can run 50' in a round.

Ishzu's metal command causes the goblins around him to pause a moment before looking towards the larger group before scurrying to finish looting.

Meanwhile, back in the bat cave, uh I mean over by the tent, Oliver's lob of the Darkmist vial is nearly perfect and the vial explodes with a soft tinkle of shattered ceramic. Instantly the area around that end filled with darkness.
Ander takes the opportunity to rush to his companions exulting in their escape, perhaps prematurely. The four of them formed a hurried huddle south of the tent to make a plan. The goblins in the darkness call out alarms. The goblins at the camp pause but you see the robes ones snap orders and 4 of them rush towards their comrades calling for help while the others all ready their bows and peer around for targets.

Ishzu gains little from the goblins minds as they are all agitated and on high alert. Luckily Ander hears the goblins in the darkness and due to his recent experience with the Darkmantle know how to move though the darkness without tripping himself. Ander can tell the goblins are all to the NW of him so if he recalls correctly he should be able to avoid them by moving to the south then west and hopefully out of the darkness.

Ander needs 1 Test to get out of the darkness past the goblins without incident. As per normal, use what you have, if you have anything, to give yourself advantage.

WhiteDwarf says:

Ander stammers and winces. His shouting voice having betrayed the party’s subterfuge. But he sure sounded knightly and valiant while doing so, so there’s that!

Striding south, then west, Ander attempts to avoid goblin pod entanglement. It should go very well!

WhiteDwarf says:

OOC:

That was my intent at the time, yes. But it’s reading to me like that got preempted when the goblins successfully blocked my direct exit.

Thunder_Lungz says:

OOC:

Nice, Ander! You made it to freedom!

I think Brewner’s running 50ft took both your actions and i took actions out of turn so we can pretend the climbing and rope stuff hasn’t happened yet.

I think the wall climbing could still work if we roll really well. We’d do what Psyber suggested and state our plan and hoped outcome then make the roll.

Alternatively we could try to run for the darkness which probably won’t last for long.

Grin looks at Oliver and Brewner. Where’s Ander? What should we do? The goblins from the camp are coming West to investigate the shout.

Psybermagi says:

WhiteDwarf says:

Ander attempts to evade, through magically-misted cloud!
Well done Grin, he exclaims amidst darkened vapors! Well done!
Our knightly fellow shifts from the tent to rejoin his group.

OOC:

OK, clarification is needed from/for Ander then.

Ander was in the tent "D" The rest, 1,2,3, were to the south/below of that. Ander declared he was rushing through the dark mists to the west/left created by Oliver then rejoins the group. I assumed Ander thought the group was already past the goblins.

If what Ander meant to do was simply join the others south of the tent then I will revise the previous posts

WhiteDwarf says:

OOC:

lol. Yes, my intent was simply to go where I could surmise the group was gathered at the time.

Thunder_Lungz says:

OOC:

I think the confusion there was that the exact location of the darkening wasn’t made clear until after his post.

OOC:

Time stone activate, You will remember none of this . . . .

Ishzu gains little from the goblins minds as they are all agitated and on high alert.

The group is huddled against the wall just at the edge of the lantern light from the camp. A group of 4 goblins, 1 wounded, is calling for help, another group of 4 goblins is moving towards the darkness and will pass too close for you to hide effectively. You know all the caverns this side of the darkness lead nowhere save the spiders nest cave but that is past the large crystal where even more goblins are clustered.

"I think we can deal with this group of four goblins now. They're going to be too close to hide. If they call on too many archers, we move into the darkmist. Except maybe Grin, who's got excellent camouflage."

Ander gathers close to his companions. That was easier than I thought it would be, he thinks thankfully to knightly self!

Yes, I like our chances agsinst a mere four goblins. I will be ready for them, as they pass near us.

As Ishzu is being "packed" he listens to the goblins and begins making more sense of their dialect, though not completely but names are easily picked up on those working on him. So far I have Goblins 1-20 and shaman 1 and 2, so go ahead and give names if you want :) Names are important but I just ugh at namin all enemy peons.

The darkmantle created darkness lasted a minute and this is the closed concoction to that created by Oliver so it will likely last about that long (first one used right?)

You do not have time to discuss as the goblins from the main group are moving quickly and will spot you any moment.

OOC:

Even though you are not fighting this is basically a combat situation as time counts. From now in, each time you talk it is essentially 1 of your actions. The group of 4 goblins (south of the large grey token that represents the black/white tile Matrix Node) will easily be next to your current hiding spot and see you the next time they move so you have to act now.

not sure how this will go… 30+ goblins against us.

Grin tosses a flask of alcohol right at the feet of the approaching 4 goblins.

OOC:

Oops

He tosses another flask at them. If we can get them on fire and make them think there’s a dragon or something? Pssst… light them on fire, he whispers as he slinks a few feet backwards into the shadow.

The two flasks land in front of then at the feet of the goblins, who jump in fright . . . as Grin bask away to the inky blackness created by Olivers concotion.

OOC:

I was not saying you have to fight. Just that you dont have alot of time to discuss things.
Oliver and Brewner are up.

"Oh my, I wasn't quite ready for that."

For the sake of swiftness, Oliver is forced to drop his sling to grab the BLAZEBALL BAT. He then produces two rocks, flips them one at a time and bats them engulfed in flames towards the incoming goblins.

I'm proficient with ranged weapons, but have no bat mastery. Thus I'm rolling with 2d6. Correct me if any of these things was wrong.

dang, that’s unlucky. Is throwing a torch one action or two? I have a couple more alcohol flasks that I could toss, maybe onto the flames of the closest torch/flaming rock and that could set them all up… ugh.

What does Ishzu do?
