Chapter 9 by AeylinFaith AeylinFaith

What's next?

[Encounter] Goblin squad

Aeylin lets another arrow fly, this time aiming for the other pike-bearer taunting her from a distance of approximately 50 or so feet. [15]

[16] The arrow flies just past the supposed leader's shoulder, you should really step up your wild game hunting as these goons should have been scrambling by now! Instead, they continue to taunt and mock from their roadblock.
"See, ha! I told you she got lucky, she couldn't even get a nick in!"

Her blood begins to boil at this despicable creature, she's never met a friendly one of their kind..always up to no good. She checks the contents of her quivers, still quite a bunch to work with.. Considering this prick is mocking her and still not posing any real threat she breathes in.. takes aim..and slowly exhales as she lets loose. [22]

[12, 14] The arrow connects for 2 piercing damage!
"Jaaaaah! BLOODY SHITE!" The goblin wails staring at the arrow sticking from his arm, nearly as long as he's tall.
"What are you looking at me for? GET ER!" At his command the goblins start bolting towards the culprit, the leader left behind in an attempt to stelp the bleeding in his arm.

[18 The goblins approach at a faster pace than expected]

With enough time to fire another volley if she distances herself, she takes aim at the spear bearer she'd chipped the ear from in her first shot and throttles off into the distance [16 to hit] [6 to distance]

  • -1 stamina

[13, natural 20] The goblin attempts to brace the impact being unable to dodge anymore, he's so close that he can almost smell your blood..wait..it's his own.. his vision fails as he loses consciousness and he faints.

"Drak, no! Y-you'll pay for this!" Yells one of the 4 approaching goblins as their companion topples over.
[22 advance]
They have nearly covered the entire distance in a way that can only be fueled by hatred, their close on the mare's hooves.

Aeylin turns and attempts to shoot at close to 180* angle, her arrow overshoots 2 feet above a goblin as the sheer panic begins to settle and the reality of her situation hits, this isn't her realm.. In a last effort, she attempts to gain distance between herself and the pack [Natural 1 to hit] [16 to sprint]

  • -1 stamina

"HA! We nearly have her, don't let her get away!" In an incredible feat of athleticism, the goblins endure their sprint and maintain their pace, keeping up with the mare who should have been able to easily sprint out the tiny footers.
But for unknown reasons, she finds herself out of breath and has **** but to face the mob in their unrelenting pursuit.. just outside of their net-throwing distance.

  • -1 stamina

Catching her breath she decides to make her final stand, turning to face them she chants a spell under her breath.
"Faith protects me"~ +2 AC
Now that her breath has calmed ever so slightly she curses under it: "Focus." Arrow aimed and sprung. [12]

[13] The goblin times their sidestep as you lock your target, their unexpected and swift agile movement catches you of guard as the arrow flies true at the spot of its former target. Now that they've closed the gap they begin to encircle the mare, careful not to stand behind her considering none of them desired to get a hoofkick to the head.
with 3 of the Goblins fainting their trow 1 accidentally loses its grip and throws it on the ground in front uselesly.
[NATURAL 1] "You FOOL!"

Aeylin smirks, happy she isn't the only one not having things going her way, and lets loose an arrow at the shouting fella [21]

[13, 6] The poor lad is far too distracted yelling at the lass, continuously verbally assaulting her until he squeals out in agony once an arrow sticks out of his boot. "YouuuaAAAU!"
The other goblins turn their heads in shock, as if they'd forgotten their 'catch' would still be able to shoot if it weren't restrained. Two regain focus as one is doing a rain dance and the other retrieves their net.
"How about this!" Yells another male as he throws a bottle with greenish liquid at the mare. [19 (15+4)]

[20 (17+2+1)] Aeylin manages to turn just in time allowing the flask with unknown contents to fly past. Now having the dancing goblin in a critical area she attemts to kick him K.O. [10]

[16] The goblin hobbles left and right and nearly topples over just as the hoof kicks in the place where his head had been less than a second ago. "This bitch tried to bash my skull in! RUN!" (The goblin hobbles off to where he came, a groan cursed under his breath with every step).
The female goblin draws her knife and attempts to slash at the equine's exposed flank. [21]

[10, 10] Aeylin fails to dodge as she feels the slash across her side giving her a nasty cut [1d4 1]

Aeylin staggers and comes down with her hooves on the gnome that slashed her [13]

[12, 13] The hoofs trample the poor goblin who just about manages to get out from underneath assured doom, having seen her life flashed before her eyes and her two fumbles she screams to bail, the other gnomes following suit. [3 bludgeoning damage]

Succes 2 defeated 4 fled.
