Arwi pushes his way through the crowded room toward the back door on the far side of the room. There are several cries of "hey" and "watch it!" but no one hampers his movement. Not quite aware of what is going on, Nessia and Kelarith remain seated at the table, shaking their heads when Arwi jumps up runs away!

Groaning, looking at her companion, and rising to the occasion, Nessia heads outside...

Before she completely emerges, she turns to the barkeep and says, "Our meals shall be on them."

The Goblins all ready their weapons and maneuver a bit for better position. The huge, hairy Goblin steps around the wounded ox and strikes the poor draft beast again. Amira swipes her loaded crossbow from the seat of the wagon, turns, and pulls the trigger, letting an arrow fly at the Goblin to her right. The little green thug tries to dodge but the bolt catches him in the neck and he goes down in a gurgling spray!

Arwi charges to the door and slams it open, revealing a dim, rear storage area behind the bar. Far to his right, he sees a door with daylight coming in around the edges that must lead to the back loading area of the Dirty Dog Tavern. Nessia follows the running Half-Elf.

Weather: Cold, 37°, cloudy skies and moderate wind from the south
Sunrise/set: just after 6am/ just before 6:30pm
Character Present: Finn, Rindo outside in yard

---

Amira climbs up into the wagon in an attempt to reload her crossbow. An advancing Goblin steps up and swings his morning star, catching her in the side. The merchant curses loudly and winces in pain. The other Goblin on the far side of the wagon climbs up behind Amira, out of her line of sight. It steadies itself and lines up a shot on her back. The large, hairy Goblin near the oxen continues to chop wildly into the now dead beast of burden.

Rindo moves up, noticing the nearest Goblin seems to be paying more attention to the horse than anything else. It steps up and wildly swings its morning star at the horse, but somehow loses its grip and the weapon slips in its hand. It curses and adjusts its grip.

On the other side of the yard, Finn's attack goes wide and misses the little Goblin. The two Goblins nearest Finn both step in and swing their weapons at him, not doing a very good job at coordinating their attacks, but at least moving to try to surround him somewhat. Both attacks seem to be on target.

The monk drops his naginata as he steps back, parrying each attack with one of his free hands. "Well, shit. . ." he laughs, "I guess I'm going to have to get serious."

Finn feels his ribs cracking under the force of the morningstar as it crashes into his side. The Goblin smiles wickedly as his attack finds its mark.

Arwi, seeing the closed door ahead of him, kicks it open as he rushes out into the yard. Turning to his left, he sees a large, hairy Goblinoid with a bloody falchion standing over one of the oxen that iles bleeding in the dirt. Beyond, he sees Amira on top of the wagon with several Goblins surrounding her. He hears further combat off to the left, but cannot see that area of the yard due to the wall near him.

Nessia follows Arwi and sees him crash through the door out into the yard.

Kelarith, realizing that his companions have rushed off, jumps up and follows. The barkeep, seeing several new patrons running into his storeroom, starts hollering and waving his bar rag around his head!

Finn smiles back at the goblin, shaking his head, "Not good enough." As he steps back, putting his right flank to the wall, he whips out a side kick at his original target.

The Goblin desperately tries to defend but fails and Finn's foot hits him right in the chest. The Goblin flies back with a grunt, drops his flail and crashes into some stacked crates. The wind has clearly been knocked out of this Goblin's sails.

Finn chuckles and asks, "Looking for a more satisfying crunch?" then holds his hand out toward the other goblin, beckoning with his middle and ring fingers. Then spreads his arms wide in a welcoming gesture, grinning, "Well? Come at me bro!"

In the far corner of the yard, the Goblin twirls his morningstar around furiously and brings it crashing down on Finn once more.

Rindo's foe, having retreated from the surprise attack, whips the spiky ball of his weapon at Rindo, threatening to score a hit!

The two Goblins harassing Amira have climbed fully up into the wagon and are trying to pummel her with their weapons.

The large, hairy Goblinoid sees Arwi and barks with glee before turning and running at him in a hunched over posture, its empty left hand hitting the ground like an extra foot for the bestial creature.

OOC

Finn and Rindo's opponents both scored hits. @Eldritch Butterfly and @terminaldragon need to roll defenses. Due to the Move and Attack, Rindo may not retreat and he may not parry unless he spends another FP for the Rapid Recovery option. After these defenses are processed, we'll move on to the next round and Arwi will be able to step in. Nessia will make it to the doorway at least in Round 4.

Still Round 3

Finn - Committed Attack against Goblin 3. Finn took 3HP damage from the morningstar, -3 to all rolls due to shock this turn

Rindo - Move and Attack/ Heroic Charge against Goblin 8. Rindo took 5HP damage from the morningstar, -4 due to shock next turn.

Arwi - Move Maneuver. rushed out to yard, may enter the combat next round

Nessia - Move Maneuver. still making her way to the yard, will enter the combat next round

 

The first 6 Goblins are all SM -1 while the larger Goblinoid is SM 1

The smaller Goblins are harder to hit, -1, while the other fella is bigger and easier to hit, +1

Morningstars (Flails) are difficult to defend against. -4 to Parry (fencing weapons CANNOT parry at all), -2 to Block.

Finn and Rindo continue to be engaged with their Goblin foes. Amira does her best to fight off the three on the wagon, but appears to be losing that fight. Arwi has joined the fray and sees a large, hairy, bestial Goblinoid creature with a heavy, curved blade charging him from across the yard. Nessia nears the door leading outside, the sounds of combat much clearer to her now, surely, she thinks, someone else in the Dirty Dog Inn has heard it and will come to investigate...

OOC

Time for PC actions again. Finn, Rindo, and Arwi are all out in the yard with opponents engaged or near. Nessia is just inside the door and can move out and see what's going on.
