"I am trying to help you. I do not want the Crystal. I want to set you and your clan free!"
Ishzu tries to push his thoughts into the Shaman and disrupt his mental connection to the Crystal....
OOC:
Rolled 2 attacks.
Did I take Damage from the 6 Before?

Rolls

Ishzu: Test - Basic - (2d6)

(33) = 6

OOC:
You took "mental damage". It could eventually kill you, but it doesn't cross over with your physical HP. It's more "stunning" damage, though once subdued, bad things can be done.
Ishzu does no damage to the apprentice. She launches two more attacks, and two of the subjugated goblins join in. However, they aren't terribly effective.

Rolls

Apprentice: Attack 2 DC:5 - Dis - (1d6)

(5) = 5

Apprentice: Attack 2 DC:5 - Dis - (1d6)

Goblin minds are surprisingly strong, lol

OOC:
I honestly did not expect the rolls to go like this ...

@Smiley, please go ahead and give two more attacks (or whatever Actions you want to do for this "mental turn").

What do we physically see going on between Ishzu and the goblin?

OOC:
Great recovery by Ishzu there, though it still isn't over yet!

You don't see much of anything, just classic winces, looks of concentration, hands to the head, things like that. No blood from the nose or or eyes or anything. At least not yet. :-)
The apprentice takes a step backwards as a result of an unseen attack.

The goblins are finally able to act. The lead goblins says, "Use the flats of your weapons! They are still our friends, even if they don't remember right now!" Four (including the lead goblin) sprint out and try to knock down the goblins between the group and the apprentice. Interestingly, the two guards are not visible at all, though indication of their movement can be heard.
OOC:
The four attacking goblins use Move and Attack. The other two use Move and Move.
Two more of the goblins are hurled to the ground with minor wounds.
OOC:
This is the end of the first physical turn. The mind-controlled goblins didn't do anything the first round because of the surprise. I will post a separate message with the start of the second physical turn.

On to round two!
The opposing goblins start to move! However, things are all mixed up everywhere, so chaos reigns!

The porters (the four goblins holding the crystal's harness) don't move.

The two pairs of goblins on either side of the porters move and attack the otherwise hidden goblins guards.

The three trailing goblins move forward. They spend their entire time moving.

Three of the four goblins in the front are prone and spend their time getting up. The fourth attacks Ander.

Finally, we have the psychic combat going on.

The apprentice doesn't make any attacks because she is trying to get everyone moving.

The other two still make their attacks.

Rolls

(2) = 2

Head-Goblin 2: Attack DC:5 - Dis - (1d6)

Good hit, Oli! She’s got Ishzu in some sort of trance!

Grin takes another two shots at the apprentice.

can you explain what these invisible guards are? I’m confused

OOC:
Sure!

They aren't invisible. They are just hidden from your view.

When you first met the survivor goblins, there were five of them. The lead goblin, four more, plus a slightly larger guard. One was sent ahead and came back with a second slightly larger guard. (There were originally four larger guard goblins that were the personal guard of the Head Goblin. Two of them, and the Head Goblin, died before this encounter. These are the two that are left.) They are doing their own thing and are spent last Turn preparing for a special attack. However, the opposition detected them and tried to attack them to stop them from doing what they were planning.

But, again, they aren't invisible. You just can't see them. Plus, they are on your side. Does that help?

OOC:
Yes thank you! Glad we get the invisible ones on our side :-D

Brewner grabs the goblin who just got up by the collar and with his strength throws him at the others at the front trying to knock out has many as possible
"Try to reach the apprentice" He roars

"Let us press on! Ishzu seems to be getting somewhere!"

Oliver keeps slinging rocks at the apprentice, wondering where their ally goblins went. He also wonders whether a rock to the head is flat enough for the goblin leader.

Rolls

Sling 1 - (3d6)

(536) = 14

Sling 2 - (3d6)

Ander runs straight ahead. Trying to reach the apprentice!
OOC:
Action to run up, action to grab the apprentice if possible.

OOC:
Grin is totally on board with killing the apprentice… he has no qualms with that if it means saving the rest of the group.

Quick note: having to deal with some home stuff IRL, so I may not be able to post until tomorrow. I apologize for the delay.
