Boudica looks for a spot she can take cover behind. If she doesn't see one, she'll try to make one, tipping a table, for example. She prepares her sling and nods, ready.

Anton positions him at the top of the stairs, ready to throw a dagger at an approaching goblin and then retreat into one of the upstairs rooms.

I fear once we start firing upon them, they’ll surely come in for us. If they all come for us, we’ll be overwhelmed. I’m short on good ideas, at the moment, but I’m not sure if we should make what might be a final stand, just yet.

Seems only a dozen or so that’ll put up a fight. Not bad, I say we say start shooting!
OOC:
Will has javelins. Can he toss those from his present location, or is there a place I can hustle to for that?

OOC:
Throwing Javelins out of a narrow window is a bit tricky. I'll give you a -2 to hit penalty. There is no other place from which you can throw them safely, unless you move to the front door leading to the courtyard.Mar 6, 2025 7:30 pm
A short hour later, you manage to complete barricade the stairway with tables, cabinets, and dressers that you hauled from the bedrooms.
What's next?
What's next?

Boudica takes up a position behind the barricade with her sling and says, "Does anyone have oil we can put on the stairs?"
Mar 6, 2025 10:45 pm
Will, worn out from spending a a solid hour moving furniture against a door, huffs out,
I…have…no… (cough) oil. And I’m not moving all that furniture back from the door to get to the stairs, if I did!

Boudica nods and says, "Sure! Here, just step up on the top of this barricade and pour it onto the stairs. It will run down them a bit and make it very difficult for them to get up. At least, I hope so!"

"How bright!" Anton steps up and pours the flasks of oil as instructed. "Like that yes?"
Mar 7, 2025 12:01 pm
Anton and Boudica poured the oil over the stairs, which are now slippery, and a fire hazard. What's next?
OOC:
I'm assuming you poured the oil before building the barricade, otherwise it would be too easy to climb on top of it. Mar 7, 2025 3:23 pm
OOC:
Yes that would be my assumption as well, I also didn't think about the fact of a fire hazard, maybe we should secure a rope to escape out a second floor window?Mar 7, 2025 4:36 pm
One oil is poured, Will barricades the door. Then, producing rope from his pack, our fightery fellow fashions a knotted rope to drop over the window as a means of escape.
Mar 8, 2025 7:07 am
Will prepares his rope, and finds some to secure it against one of the bedposts - just in case they found themselves trapped on the second floor.
OOC:
Any other preparation, or will someone finally pull the trigger ;) Mar 8, 2025 2:16 pm
OOC:
I can’t think of anything. Weird plan, in retrospect, I think we were all just wanting to post actions.I’ll defer on the trigger, I guess, since Will only has javelins.

We have good news, abd bad news. The good news is, we secured your castle. The bad news is, we may have burned it down. lolload next
