There is another spooked worg charging across the bridge. There are two goblins running for the stairs up the cliff, and two more that just landed in town. Gault will be attacking the goblin, Calix and Bramble will attack the worg in the street, Rathman is firing off more werks, and Sarhan is still running towards Upper Fallcrest. <br /><br />I should be able to do some dice rolls and get the proper write-up in the next post later this evening.Sullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08775443433933924102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5284993873894552327.post-29437326703061860902011-11-25T12:20:15.545-06:002011-11-25T12:20:15.545-06:00OOC: Oops.

Tracking 2 Worgs (one below me and a Goblin - not mounted - and another Worg across the bridge) now!

From where you stand in the street, you can see a worg (with no goblin rider) charging across the bridge toward you! Will that still be your plan of action?<br /><br />Also, no worries about slow posts this week. I'm certain the holiday season will slow things down for everyone here. No rush for posts.Sullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08775443433933924102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5284993873894552327.post-86939140147190475092011-11-22T14:25:55.407-06:002011-11-22T14:25:55.407-06:00Calix snaps his head up as the goblin falls dead i...Calix snaps his head up as the goblin falls dead in front of him. He see the halfling from earlier and feels a surge of renewed hope. Things might seem dire, but when even strangers stand ready to fight, all cannot be lost.<br /><br />Seeing the halfling's gesture and making out most of what he shouts over the din of battle, Calix nods vigorously. Seeing that Gault is holding his own against the goblin, he calls out, <b>"I am going for the gatehouse!"</b> With luck, the guard could finish his foe and join him in short order.<br /><br />He charges toward the gatehouse, hoping to avoid the fangs of the Worg as he does so (should Bramble not succeed in felling the beast).<br /><br />[OOC: If it is at all possible for Calix to reach the gatehouse in one turn, he will do so, using Full Defense (+2 to AC), to get inside and try to lower the gate. If the goblin bars his path, Calix will instead attack it this turn (at his usual +1-to hit).<br /><br />Also, my own apologies for the delay in posting. The start of Thanksgiving week has been a little more crazy than I predicted. /OOC]Joe Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00260006744871176342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5284993873894552327.post-82371362375013751292011-11-20T16:16:50.082-06:002011-11-20T16:16:50.082-06:00OOC: Yeah, I could probably do a better job of des...OOC: Yeah, I could probably do a better job of describing the locations and exact tactical information, and will try to do so in the future.<br /><br />At the moment, Calix and Gault are in the street that extends from the bridge into Upper Fallcrest. There is one goblin and a worg attacking them, and a few dead goblins on the ground. There are two goblins (one dead, one dazed) near the bridge. Bramble is still up on the roof of the building just south and east of the entry to the bridge in Upper Fallcrest, with an excellent view of the bridge and the street. Rathman is near the cliff near the number 15 on the map. Sarhan is running towards the western switchback path up the cliff, which should get him up the cliff before the goblins, but he will be hard-pressed to make it to Rathman before the goblins do.
