2.2 Ambush by Frost Goblins

[harknail]

The groups stays close together for mutual support as they traverse the blizzard. There are no trees visible now, just snow and hills of snow. Perhaps the trees are still there, but completely buried in snow. But that is a question for later.

Sanem is in the lead (because he was the last one to post for the skill challange) when the perceptive elf spotted something moving atop the snow hills, he held up a hand to stop the group as he looked closer. "Goblins up above, there and there," Sanem points out the closest goblins.

Realizing that they've been spotted, a cry goes out and more goblins raise into view, with javelins and crossbows ready for attack.

Neither side has supprise, thanks to Sanem's very high passive perception roll :-)
I need an initiative roll for everyone.

Map (will be updated as the turn progresses):

SPOILER: Click to show

Red are holding javelins, Blue are holding crossbows, Gray has neither.
The green block labeled PC Start B is where the characters would have started (with much delay and lost of healing surges) if they had failed the skill challenge. Notice how much smaller it is...

Status:
Still need to update the status blocks. But currently Sanem is down one healing surge, otherwise everyone is still fresh from an extended rest.

Sanem quickly draws his bow and looks for anything to provide some sort of cover from the swarm of goblins.

[cyco]

Warlord Init bonus is +2. Also note that since I've swapped out my Tactical Assault feat I no longer grant the bonus to damage for action point attacks, you still get the +2 bonus to attack roll though. Added Gabe's group bonus info to my previous post.

Bharash chooses to stand back and ponder the situation this time. He will wait to see how the others deploy then react. Otherwise known as rolling a 1[rand=010200976879549406654264989182541688508798188478492305547664160102]

[Ogremind]

By the way, may I presume that Zachary is 'A' and Sart is 'R'? (Funny how I didn't even consider that when I named him)

[Ogremind]

Also, has everyone remembered to add half their level to their initiative?

[crysun]

On the map, who is R and A? Also does the Z stand for me or Zack?
Forgive me if I had forgotten who was traveling with us.

that is correct

[crysun]

Oops, I asked a question that had already been asked and I forgot to use green for OOC.
Edit: Make that lime green. I got to get back in the groove.

A is Zachary, R is Sart, Z is Zynthis.

Sorry, I should have listed that in the original message.

The goblins now in view were blue instead of the usual green. Also they weren't wearing winter clothing. Sanem concludes that they must be resistant to cold. [Used Sanem's passive Nature check]

Also, have Bharash and Zachary selected what spells they memorized this morning? Or in other words, have they picked their Daily & Utility powers for the day?

Gabe calls out, “Take cover and concentrate your attacks. Sart get down and hide.” He moves quickly towards the back of the small hill drawing and throwing his handaxe at one of the Goblins as he does so.

I also have "Yield Ground" which I picked up at 2nd level as an encounter power.


Assuming that numbers 1 and 2 are still alive (which the should be since I went first ) Sanem will Hunter's Quarry 1, and then twin strike firing an arrow at 1 and 2.
