GoM: What Lurks in the Woods – Turn Results 16

Stabem moved to the barn door and assisted Lady Emyralda by opening the door. The door opened quietly but the horse within bolted at the chance for escape. The animal ran past the cleric and headed to the south.

The goblin rider rounded the corner of the house. Upon seeing the party, the monster drew its shortbow and fired at Ro-Mahn. The arrow flew true and struck the rogue dealing 4 damage.

Lady Emyralda looked into the barn to discover not further threats inside. She then sighed, stared daggers at Stabem and looked after the horse which was now out of her reach.

Ro-Mahn ran forward and attacked the goblin dog with his rapier. The rogue’s thrust struck and dealt 4 damage to the monster. Barnacleez moved forward and used his wand of Magic Missiles again. The magic projectile hit the goblin rider for 5 damage. Wahesh moved forward brandishing his longsword. The fighter attacked the goblin dog and hit dealing 4 damage. Cando dropped his dart and drew his double axe as he charged the goblin rider. The mighty swing connected with the monster and dealt 9 damage and killing it.

As the mounted goblin moved around the house, counter-clockwise to the west, the party advanced on the pair of fire-starting goblins. Barnacleez used is wand of Magic Missile and struck one for 5 damage. The monster howled in pain and looked for the source of its misery. The battle was joined.

Stabem moved forward as fast as his short legs would carry him. The mounted goblin rode around the house and continued to chant and sing. Lady Emyralda moved with purpose toward the barn doors. The halfling reached her objective. The sounds of the distressed animal still sounded from within the barn.

Ro-Mahn closed the distance with the monsters, getting in the face of the unwounded one. The two goblins both attacked the rogue with their dogslicers but neither managed to connect. Barnacleez moved closer and activated his wand again. Another Magic Missile launched forth and struck the wounded monster for 2 damage and dropped it. Wahesh charged forward and attacked the goblin engaged with Ro-Mahn. The fight stuck the monster with his longsword and delt 11 damage which killed it. Cando hustled forward and next to Stabem and drew a dart as he moved.

The noise comes from a farmstead located in the southwest corner of a large fenced-in pasture.

A goblin mounted on a small goblin dog rides counter-clockwise around the house. It jeers and sings its goblin song while shouts for help and terror come from within. Two goblins on foot are occupied attempting to light torches with flint and steel.

The distressed sounds of a large animal can be heard coming from the barn.

The monsters have not yet noticed the party’s approach.

The party gathered up the prisoner and hustled to the source of the noise. Lady Emyralda channeled positive energy along the way to fully heal Cando, Wahesh and Barnacleez.

Screams in common and more goblin song can be heard coming from the northwest, the direction that the shepherd boy ran when the battle with the goblins began.
