Chapter 1: Festival & Fire

The goblins quickly swarm the nobleman and while he is able to dodge the first couple of blows, the last two goblins each manage to hit him. The first strike is stopped by the thick leather of his fine clothing, but the final blows hits him in the shoulder, causing a wound.

The rest of the goblins runs over and starts taunting the nobleman. "We goblins kill you like Whittledee kill hound of hell!"

You hear the nobleman cries for help as he fails to push back one of the goblins to make an opening for him to escape.
OOC:
The goblins drew lucky and got the joker so they go first. You may notice I haven't followed the correct rules in order of suit. I've prioritiezed that NPCs and PCs act together as much as possible.

Next up is Li followed by the warchanter.

OOC:
Roll first... as I will need it for my RP...
Li recalling how goblins are about dogs... does something unexpected for everyone: he runs forwards a few steps and makes a barking sounds as he would like to mimic a dog... in hope of attracting goblin's attention, back from the nobleman.
OOC:
My intention is as written - making as much commotion as possibile to maybe (with enough raises?) attract all goblins their attention on him or at least give some window of a little time for the noble man to allow him make another escape attempt.
I guess it will be a trick/test roll? So spending my action on it, and moving 1 sq up, and 4 left - so be better visible for the goblins.
Hmmm... what to roll? I guess Performance or Intimidation - as I have 0 in both, rolling Performance, but tell me if it should have been something else?

Chigaru has spent years in Varisia but most of it was studying in the House of Blue Stones and the affairs of goblins wasn't part of the curriculum. "Goblin dogs, you say?"

"Don't let them touch you!" Saldrina advises. "They carry allergies."

As Li runs forward, he catches the attention of the Warchanter who laughs with derision at Li's attempt to sound like a dog. He says some magical words and points a finger at Li. He feels his strength draining.
OOC:
I would say Intimidation would work best. That way you wouldn't just drawn attention to yourself, but could have made one of them vulnerable or distracted. Though with that roll, that did not work.

The Warchanter got a raise on his spellcasting lowering Li's strength by two steps. Li may roll a Spirit roll at the end of each of his turns to recover it. On a success it increases one step and on a raise it increases two steps.

Chigaru moves northeast and puts a cart to his back so he is not suddenly flanked on all sides. Still at a distance from the goblins, he pulls out and flings a shuriken at the green fiend riding the goblin dog.
OOC:
Spent a benny to re-roll the attack.

Wess knows a wise move when he sees it, and follows Chigaru in movement and actions, throwing an ax at the rider instead of a shuriken.

will attack the nearest orc if the dog rider has already fallen.
If this counts as a different encounter, will take the Nerves of Steel combat edge, if not, I'll have to add -1 to my rolls

The goblin commando shrugs off the first attack with merely getting shaken. Though it leaves it open to an axe from Wess.

The goblin shakes off its momentary battle fatigue, and drops its horsechopper to draw a bow. It fires once at Wess before riding closer to the wall. The arrow breaks upon impact with Wess' armor though.
OOC:
The goblin spends a Benny to soak, and it is able to soak one of the wounds Wess causes. It hit Wess, but only did 5 damage, not enough to get through your toughness.

Saldrina, Grimwulf and Khel is up next.

Saldrina sighs and blasts another goblin (let's say red 1) with a small ball of fire she conjures.

Grimwulf isn't sure what he's more surprised by: Li barking like a dog, or the half orc and dwarf taking cover instead of fighting head on.

He rushes past them all toward the group of goblins, "Lads, that's not how you do it," as the rage takes over once more, "This is how you do it!" as he swings the maul down at the goblin's head.

Khel moved closer to Wess and targeted the snarling goblin warchanter. He pointed his finger and formed a fireball then sent it flying towards the creature.

OOC: Using -1 to conserve powerpoint and spending 2 powerpoint to increase damage. Spending a benny to reroll. Damn!

Saldrina sends out another blast of fire and one of the goblins is hit, falling to the ground in a burning pile.

With fury in his eyes, Grimwulf charges ahead and smashes one goblin hard in the head, making a visible dent in what is now a corpse.

Khel steps up next to Wess and stuns the warchanter temporarily with another bolt of fire.
OOC:
Changed your target to pink Saldrina, since Red 1 is the one goblin covered by the building .

I'll allow it. The only rules seems to be Witdrawing from Melee, which you tecnically is never doing during your movement.

Li - fighting embarrassment and apparent weakness - draws his katana and runs head long just between the enemies... certainly to defend the innocent victim as first reason... but also in some degree to hide between them...
"No more acting... just the swings... of my katana... to return to inner peace... and regain some strength..."

While sliping between first two of his enemies he makes a two short swings aimed at their sickly fat guts...
OOC:
So gont to proposed postion, using katana with:
[ +- ] Sweep
to hit all the enemies... rolling with +2(Joker) -2 form the edge so with 0... pending...

All hits! :D Damage rolls. Respecting weakness. Pending...
After edit:
...swiftly gutting out the first goblin and stabbing the 2nd one. He immediately stops rotation of his whole body... and while his black coat still fallows the motion... he switches hands on the hilt of his katana so that the left one is above the right one and begins to make a smooth movement in the opposite direction, catching the third goblin with his wide cut and ending the movement of his katana in such a way that its tip sticks into the middle of warchanter's forehead swinging from the top.
