The Arena (PVE Thread)

This thread is for players who have a specific monster that they'd like to fight. Let me know what you'd like to try and kill and I'll run an encounter for you.

Wulfram - LVL 1 fighter LVL 4 Warlock

I would like to run through a few rounds of goblin encounters or any other low level monster.
First round with a single enemy and then two of the same type and then three of the same type.
If I can make it through that then lets have 1 goblin and 1 hobgoblin. Then a round with 1 goblin and 1 bugbear and then move on to like 2 goblins and some goblin war chief.

Short rests in between major combat rounds

So you want to solo these goblins or would you prefer to wait for others?

I have not finished his backstory yet so I cannot comment too much on motivation but Wulfram is a proud and stubborn noble born who does not believe he would ever need the help of others. The fiend Wulfram has made a pact with demands blood to be shed by any means necessary.

I would go SOLO just to learn the mechanics of play by post and get into the hang of narrating my actions, if anyone would like to join to practice also that would be OK but I would like to keep the party small so we can keep combat moving.

i wouldn't mind, it would help me figure out the mechanics of the captain america type character. that i've been trying to build for the past 4 months..

also i believe combat is 1 post per day reguardless the group. so 1day = 1 round?

@CaveJohnson: yes that is correct. 1 round per 24 hours.

@Both of you:
If you like, you can both make level 5 characters and I will start an arena fight for you.

Cave, I am ready when you are

Wulfram Noble Born - Fighter 1 - Warlock 4

A dusty and travel worn young man walks into the empty arena towards the other two. Wearing brown travelers clothes and carrying a backpack with a tankard in his hand, the red haired man looks out of place next to the armed and armored combatants next to him. "So is this where ya go ta find out what kind of a man you are?" Draining his tankard, he drops it into his bag and pulls out two new full tankards of ale. "Ma name is Cailean, I'm pleased to meet ya. Can I interest you two in a pint before we get ta the fun bits?" Cailean holds out the two tankards towards the other two with a grin.

Wulfram has spent most of the previous day checking through his gear to prepare for battle. He wakes at sun rise and makes his way to the area with determination. As he enters the arena he walks to the middle of the clearing and waits for further instructions.

He is standing at attention when the other combatants arrive. A dusty and travel worn young man walks into arena shortly after.
Wulfram scoffs loudly at this first question, but otherwise does not respond.

"The name is Wulfram."
"No"

Wulfram answers without making eye contact with Cailean.

"Please do not get in the way."

Wulfram takes a few steps away from Cailean and stands at attention with shield ready.

You watch as the gates to the colosseum are raised. You gear the roar of the crowd fill the combat pit. The stench of freshly spilt blood is palpable.

On the opposite side of the arena you see four goblins enter the arena. Two have spears and the other two have shortbows. They are seventy feet away from you.

Damage for your daggers is 1d4 not 1d6 :)

Wulfram advances at a leisurely pace. He plants his great sword into the ground and points at a goblin. A stream of eldritch energy streams out of his finger and flies towards the goblin. His aim is true and it strikes the goblin in the center of it's chest. It falls down to the ground. Dead.

Then Cailean rushes forwards and hurls two daggers. On flies wide but the other strikes with deadly accuracy. It hits one of the goblins in the eye and it falls dead. Instantly.

Then two remaining goblins rush into.the fray.

The goblin attacking Wulfram lands a crippling blow on Wulfram's left leg. His leg is now bleeding profusely.Round 2 fight!
