The first bell clangs out in a loud tone. The second bell tone rings throughout the square echoing. People look up to the podium to see Father Zantus raise his hands and claps a Thunderstone, to quiet the crowd. As the crowd begins to simmer down and silence settles on those in the square, a screech is heard. From all around the crowd, goblins appear. The crowd reacts with panic, trying to run away from the little green foes with rusty daggers that look like swords for them. Some are carrying bows, some are carrying torches, and they all look like they are interested in mayhem. Goblins in Sandpoint![OOC:Initative for this round.

Aendell
Stepping away from the wall he pulls his sword and slides his shield onto his arm. He sees a mother trying to lift a fallen child up off the ground and he moves to intercept a group of whooping Goblins who are headed towards them.

That is one Goblin that won't be hurting anyone else. Though he does note that there are three of his green brethren right at hand. Though they poke and stick, they are unable to pierce his iron-clad armor and shield work. Missed it by 'that much'.

He leaps down in front of the podium, Fending off a torch-bearing goblin who has just tried to set the speaking stand on fire. The stand is slowly sputtering. But the gobo, who had tried his pyrotechnic might, was slain by a well-placed strike to the heart. The other three growl in anger swinging wildly with little effect.

Catalena was taken unaware, too caught up in the moment of celebration and anticipation of the Cathedral's rededication, and was flat-footed as the vicious green humanoids seemed to swarm out of every shadowy alley and from beneath every cart. This is bad, she thought, her eyes casting left and right, These defenseless people are sitting ducks for the goblins. They're everywhere.
She spotted Madame Niska Mvashti being helped by a young boy she didn't know toward the relative safety of a doorway, the elderly matron's daughter across the square with the other Desnan acolytes. Drawing her katana, Catalena rushed over to interpose herself between the old woman's escape and some maniacally tittering goblins. She saw Aendell, Zak, and Selaim throwing themselves against the invaders. Good on them, she thought. That should help even the odds but there are still far too many goblins.
Reflecting what she knew of the cretins, she'd recalled the words of one of her clan who'd also traveled the Varisian roads, how goblins and giants were generally black-hearted but they might be convinced to spare the life of a lonely rover for a song or tale well told. So, Catalena had taken pains to learn the gruff tongues of the tall and small, but this was hardly a moment to play at diplomacy. But, knowing well what goblins feared and hated most in the world, another idea came to her.
Catalena began to sing, but less so in the pleasant melodies she plied for her suppers in the Inns across the countryside, but in the brutish, harsh tongue and chanting, taunting style of Goblin music:
"Goblins come to human town,
Break the walls and burn them down
'Easy fun!' the chieftains cry
Humans run and humans die!
But what goblins did not see
Brings them naught but misery
Barks and growls and awful sounds
Goblin-killing giant hounds!
Jaws to tear off goblin legs
Paws to crush as goblin begs
Monsters from the blackest dream
'Time to flee!' the goblins scream!"
In her singing, a magic called out, and as she finished, she placed her fingers in her mouth to emit a shrill whistle. Immediately in answer, loping out from behind Maver Kesk's jewelry shop came a pack of slavering, black mastiffs. Built like miniature bulls of taught muscle and rage, they snapped their jaws, easily wide enough to tear out a goblin throat in one bite, glinting with rows of razor sharp teeth. Their cruel claws clacked on the cobbled square and they howled as they spotted the goblins and went for them like they were made of bacon.

Catalena was careful to keep the pack within 8 yards edge to edge, steering them to chase goblins away from townsfolk while somehow never catching their quarries or trying to bite any brave enough to stand their ground.

Her offhand doesn't seem to find purchase on the little foes as they dodge and dance about.
Catalena begins to sing, magic being woven. The shrieking goblins' cries go up a notch if that is possible, as the spectral hounds come into view.
Two groups of additional goblins had entered the square at the far end, a mixture of torch bearers and bow-goblins. The hounds, though, give them pause. Almost as if one, they all hiss at the beasts, possibly trying to scare them off. To Catalena's eyes, both groups seem to believe in her illusion completely. They even fire a few arrows at the hounds, failing to strike any of them.
The 2nd round of initiative cards:
Catalena AS
Seliam QC
Aendell 10S
Coral 7D
Zak 6S
Guards 5H
Sheriff Belor 4D
There were 16 Goblins left from the ones in the square, and 8 more joined, making a grand total of 24 now. Though 8 are occupied by Catalena's spell.
Coincidently Catalena is first up this round followed by Seliam. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2020 Posts: 1,482 Likes: 5 Member | | Member Joined: Dec 2020 Posts: 1,482 Likes: 5 | Catalena
The dogs seemed to be doing their job of buying people time to get away to safety. So Catalena cast her eyes about to see where she might be most needed. Selaim was with Aendell. Zachergillan seemed to be having no trouble yet avoiding the goblins' strikes. Her fellow guardsmen, however, were not succeeding particularly well at defending the people.
She ran over towards a farmer clutching a leg wound and called out in Goblin, "Which of you kobolds are big enough to dance with me?"
The goblin with the bloody dagger looked up, snarling back, "Who a kobold?!" as Catalena ended her sprint in a springing jeté, bringing her katana down upon it.

They growl and snarl, howl and harl, though what dragging on the ground is supposed to the tall human in armor is unclear. With a deft swing he lops the head off of one of the goblins. The blow is so devastating that his weapon buries itself in the torso of another.
The last remaining foe directly in front of the paladin spits on Aendell's boot and stabs at him repeatedly. Evidently his spittle had missed the boot and he steps in it, slipping and falling upon his own weapon to die death by impalement.
OOC: Absolutely correct, their Parry is 5, so 9 is one raise, and 13 is another. Technically that only offers one additional die of damage, which you rolled. So thank you. But because these are mostly one hit wonders, beat a Toughness of 4 and they collapse. I am going to rule the second raise takes out a second gobbo.
Good damage rolls, didn't bother to roll both the aces, because with the fumble, he takes his own life.

Coral moved to join Aendell, as he stood like a beacon slaying goblins all around him.

Two guards scream out as they are stuck and sliced with the rusty daggers their foes bring to bear. It isn't clear if they are still alive.
The Sheriff is shocked when two of the men he works with every day collapse under the fury of the green foes' attacks. He misses his goblin.
The little buggers strike back, their weapons bouncing off his hard metal armor, finding no purchase.
He continues to swing at the green menace also not managing to find a target.
[OOC: Technically, the attack got a raise, and one of the damage dice was an ace. But since the goblin is splatted... we will call it good.

They gurgle and splash as they fall.
Normal goblins would probably flee in face of such force, yet these continue as slavering fools.
The group can hear horrible off-key singing. It is a mix of shirl voices caterwauling with excitement.
"Goblins Chew and Goblins Bite
Goblins Cut and Goblins Fight
Stab the dog and Cut the Horse
Goblins Eat and Take by Force!
Goblins Race and Goblins Jump
Goblins Slash and Goblins Bump
Burn the Skin and Mash the Head
Goblins Here and You be Dead!
Chase the Baby Catch the Pup
Bonk the Head to Shut it Up
Bones be Cracked Flesh be Stewed
We Be Goblins! You be Food!"
This is punctuated by flames reaching higher and higher around them.
Some of the locals, despite being frightened by the mayhem all around them, see to be trying to slow the spread of the flames.
Most of the locals cower and hide, though some have tried to run away.
Seliam is attacked by the one remaining defiant foe, his Rusty Dog Slicer not being so trusty. His weapon fails to find purchase on her magically arrayed form.
Aendell is faced with one remaining goblin that Seliam is handling. There are at least two other groups of 3 to 4 goblins each.
Now that he has a moment to observe while looking for his next target, the paladin skilled in battlefield tactics, notes that every group has a torchbearer. He also might notice that the goblins are singing their little song, potentially to maintain morale, though they don't look like they are going to run away. They are fighting to the death.
[OOC: Aendell is up! Followed by the Guards (which I will handle on Aendell's post, and then Catalena and Coral. Post in any order you desire. That will finish out this round.]

"Kill the torchbearers!" He calls. Not certain it will do anything, but it seems unusual enough to draw his attention. Turning to Selaim he says in a confident and encouraging tone, "You've got this one". He then moves to the next larger group and strikes.

The dog has a couple of light cuts on its side and head.
The goblin wriggles on the sword before it expires. With a well-placed boot, the corpse is loosed from the blach gore-covered weapon.
His second swing cuts down the torchbearer of this group, the mayhem device sputtering on the ground next to another dead goblin. [OOC: Taking advantage of the raise.]
With only two goblins directly in front of him, they turn and try to harm the large human in metal armor. Aendell's deft use of his weapon prevents the goblins from harming the paladin in any meaningful way.
Two guards scramble trying to protect their fallen comrades. Catalena would know that Jorge, one of the surviving guards, manages to strike down a goblin, leaving 2 in front of them and Catalena. They flail and cruse in goblin but don't manage to harm anyone.

"You dare attack me?" She snarled in goblin at her four foes, and lashed out at two of them with her smoking claws.
Coral Attack (1 of 2) at -2 Attack (2 of 2) at -2
Angrboða rolled d6,d6,d6,d6 and got 2, 6, 6, 6
Coral Attack (1 of 2) at -2 Attack (2 of 2) at -2 raises
Angrboða rolled d6,d6,d6 and got 6, 6, 4
Coral Attack (1 of 2) at -2 Attack (2 of 2) at -2 raises
Angrboða rolled d6,d6 and got 6, 3
Coral Attack (1 of 2) at -2 Attack (2 of 2) at -2 raises
Angrboða rolled d6 and got 1
So a 6+6+6+1-2= 17 for attack 1, and 6+6+3-2 = 13 for attack 2
I have assumed that both are raises
Coral damage (1 of 2) at +2 damage (2 of 2) at +2
Angrboða rolled d4,d6,d6,d4,d6,d6 and got 4, 3, 2, 1, 5, 4
Coral damage (1 of 2) at +2 raise
Angrboða rolled d4 and got 2
so 13 damage attack 1 and 12 damage on attack 2
Coral intimidate remainder
Angrboða rolled d6,d6 and got 6, 3
Coral intimidate remainder raise
Angrboða rolled d6 and got 4
so a 10 for intimidate

From the outside, it is difficult to discern exactly what happens next. There is a spray of black ichor in all directions. The black smoking claws of the little girl seem demonic in origin and rake through goblin flesh and clothing without any hesitation. Anyone near by is covered it hot black splatter from the shredded foes. When it clears, there are four split and torn corpses at the splatter-covered little girl's feet. Though she has destroyed one group of foes, there are others around, and they see what she has done. Contrary to any normal reaction, they snarl, bear their disgusting yellow teeth, and leap in her direction, though none are close enough to attack in this moment. [OOC: Two raises on both of the gobbos, we will count that as four dead in rather hideous display of how fearsome Coral can be.  Catalena can attack the one left with the guards or move to another group. To Recap we have 8 enthralled/annoyed by the illusion dogs. 6 gobbos are left from the original 20 that had come into the square. Heck of a set of rolls Angr! Way to set the bar high!]

They had been enjoying an evening off and had been in high spirits. When Catalena had foreseen both The Avalanche and The Beating in correct alignment, she'd counseled them that there was a fight coming that would not go well for them. Apparently, she'd been convincing because two of the younger recruits resigned their positions and left town. Two who'd scoffed at her now lay at her feet. She saw Sheriff Hemlock looking across the fray at the fallen men. Well, there was hope for them once the danger was passed. Even though she was no arbiter of Fate merely its messenger, when Desna chose to share her wisdom with her, Catalena felt the burden of Hemlock's blame. At this rate, she'd never complete her sentence. "Well struck, Jorge," she grinned, grimly, as she thrust her katana at a remaining goblin from this group.

[OOC: Again, sorry about missing this.
Cat's does indeed hit with a 5. ]
Catalena takes out the last foe in front of the guards. They are free to lick their wounds, which might very well save the two men's lives.
As Catalena surveys the chaos in the square she sees a lone goblin in robes concentrating and pointing a gnarled staff at the dog illusion.
The goblin frowns and shakes the staff viciously when its efforts count for naught. For now the eight goblins are enmeshed in a fight for their lives with illusionary mastifs.

His tactical sense spots the Goblin Warchanter when it attempts to Dispel Coral's magic. Moving immediately that way he calls upon Iomedae (Smite Evil). He then strikes at the Warchanter.

Those who don't speak goblin know it is a command of some sort. Those that do understand "aid me" in the goblin tongue.

Catalena took stock of the situation around her. The dogs were still occupying the newly-arrived goblins, despite the efforts of the Warchanter. She felt some pride at seeing the nasty little shaman's frustration. Good doggies, she chuckled, as she mentally commanded a couple of them to show the Warchanter their butts.
Then she saw the tremendous strike from Aendell and determined that between him and Selaim and the dogs, those groups were in hand for the moment. Zachergillan seemed to be handling himself with aplomb, and, by the Spheres, was that Coral? Savagely tearing apart the goblins around her in terrifying fashion. She shuddered a bit. Still waters run deep, as they say, she thought.
Meanwhile, immediately around her, all the goblins had fallen and two guards. While there were still a dozen or so goblins nearby, the burden of Hemlock's blame was heavy upon her. She sank to one knee and raised her left arm, festooned with multicolored butterflies in Desna's honor, toward the Cathedral. She sang a song of gratitude in Elvish and then attempted to speedily reach out to each of the fallen guards.
Benny spend: Recover 5 Power Points. This brings her up to 8 Power Points.

To everyone's surprise with what must be a mortal wound, the Warchanter continues to stand, though it is clear he is under duress and only calls for aid.
Seliam continues her push to clear the square of the little mayhem makers, and two more fall to her wicked blades.
Catalena gives a serious effort, and perspiration rolls off of her forehead. Yet she is able to put her hands on both guards, and it is immediately clear that they have been brought back from the brink of death. They will both live baring any other complications, like a burning wagon falling on them or something.

Even though there remain but three little goblins and one dying Warchanter they do not give up.

The group can hear mayhem still happening in the little seaside town.
The square may be mostly clear, but the danger is far from over.

Catalena called back to the recovering guards, "I expect ale and lots of it!" as she picked up her katana again and headed toward the goblins entangled with her dogs. She passed Zak on the way and said, "Zachergillan, let's deal with these before the dogs go back to the Plane of Slobber."
The thought of getting between Aendell and his chosen enemy felt disrespectful, but more so, made a poor epic poem, so she charged through the dogs as they parted in front of her in choreographic synchronicity that seemed like random motion. Hoping that the distraction of fighting the dogs might lower the goblins' defenses, she attempted to strike at more than one.
Catalena Katana attack - Fighting - First Multi-Action
Vryx rolled d8-2,d6-2 and got 4, 1

Both of which collapse from their wounds.
The illusionary dogs continue to harass the little green foes, only making them more furious by the moment.
The Sheriff moved to assist with the distracted goblins, striking one down by stabbing it in the leg.

When the paladin pulls his blade from the creature the ichor is green-ish purple. Something was definitely different about this creature.
Coral turns to the goblins and joins the gang up on them. Adding her attacks to the sheriff's and Catalena's, allows both of her attacks to hit. Two more of the green foes fall to her smoking claws.
The remaining three goblins choose to attack the little girl as she seems the most vulnerable. Little do they know. They are experts at flailing, and completely miss her.

Assuming the last goblin is dispatched the group look around at the square. Carnage lies everywhere, wagons and buildings burning. Already a few of the locals are gathering water and trying to douse some of the flames.

She watched one of the guards finish off the final goblin, and relaxed enought to draw in her claws.
She stayed where she stood and slowly looked around for more trouble. It seemed such a purposeless attack, that she felt that there must be something else.
She knew she looked a sight, her dress and her head and arms covered in ichor. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 61,262 Likes: 3 Arssanguinus Moderator | | Arssanguinus Moderator Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 61,262 Likes: 3 | Zak

Having dispatched the Warchanter, he turns to deal with more foes only to see the last Goblin being taken care of by the guards. He breathes a sigh of relief, but nods at Zak's observation. Looking around to check on the others he finds Selaim near by and he offers her a small smile. "Well done Selaim. As much as you complain about practice, I see you take it to heart."
Pausing a moment to look her up and down, he notes none of the blood on her seems to be hers, and with another nod he looks to see if there are any wounded towns people who need his help.

She ran her stubby fingers over her shoulders, neck and arms, searching for cuts and nicks, smearing the ichor as she did.
"I think that all of it is theirs," she replied to Zak. "I don't think any ... Oh wait."
She slowed her fingers on one arm and a shoulder.
"They broke my skin in two places," she added, with a smile that, combined with her face-paint and dripping ichor, just made her look more ferral, "but there's no bleeding." | | | | | Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 61,262 Likes: 3 Arssanguinus Moderator | | Arssanguinus Moderator Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 61,262 Likes: 3 | Zak:

With a sparkle in her eyes, she added, "My old master would have been proud." | | | | | Joined: Dec 2020 Posts: 1,482 Likes: 5 Member | | Member Joined: Dec 2020 Posts: 1,482 Likes: 5 | Catalena
Catalena wiped her blade on the ragged cloak of a dead goblin and set the dogs to investigating and barking at dark nooks and crannies. Maybe if there were still foes hiding from view, they'd get spooked enough to reveal themselves.
Then she turned back to help extinguish the flames at the carts. Poor Mr. Pont's linens, including the lengths she'd already paid for had taken damage. But even her silk would have to wait as she first made sure that any injured people in the square were out of mortal danger. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2016 Posts: 5,658 Likes: 5 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Apr 2016 Posts: 5,658 Likes: 5 | Coral

It’s how the extra biscuits got taken at breakfast back in the orphanage in my day. Goblins in the festival are excellent in that regard. I’d say it’s likely most of the guard is here. While the guard is here doing their due duty protecting the citizens, what is going unguarded?”
He still was looking around for any sign of trouble or unattended wounded while talking.

With the fighting done she looks around to find her bearing. Aendell off to check on the wounded. She watches him go as she cleans her weapons off on a bit of cloth. Still looking around She spies Zak's green head and then Coral. Then rushes over.
"Are you alright?" she asks her friend looking her over for wounds. Glancing at Zak after satisfying herself that Coral was fine.
"See anything else?" she asks the gnome her hands going back to her falcatas. | | | | | Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,093 Likes: 10 Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator | | OP Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,093 Likes: 10 | The people begin to recover. Some assist others with their wounds. Others came out from hiding beneath wagons and next to buildings. Coral is talking with Zak and is suspicious of the goblin uprising. Nothing like this should happen in a civilized town. Zak also agrees with that sentiment. As they consider who to help or what to do next, most folks are putting out fires, which seems the most important element at this moment. Suddenly, they hear a horrible, whiny growl. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.dreamlyrics.com/forums/gallery/746/full/19603.jpg) Just when you thought Combat was over...

Coral can react before the Rider gets to act. Consider him at medium range, nothing a sprint wouldn't defeat, but only ranged weapons can attack immediately. Either he moves, which he can move faster than the PCs, or the PCs double move essentially and are unable to attack. Though you could sprint (double move) and attack with a -2 on the attack. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2016 Posts: 5,658 Likes: 5 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Apr 2016 Posts: 5,658 Likes: 5 | Coral
Coral saw the new threat, and with her claws instinctively coming out, sprinted at the warg and slashed at it.
Coral two desperate attacks(+4) on warg [-4 for 3 actions incl sprint]
Angrboða rolled d6,d6,d6,d6 and got 5, 5, 5, 1

The Wardog shudders as the little fiend's claws rake across its almost emaciated body. Rifts of blood sprout from the lacerations that Coral opened up in the beast. Its four little legs slid out from underneath it, and down it goes, toppling the goblin and his makeshift looking weapon.
On another creature the weapon is small, but looks halberd like on that creature.

Catelena turned from throwing a tin pot of water onto a burning wagon at the sound of the weird whining growl of the goblin's mount.
"Excuse me," she said, to the others helping, dropping the pot, and running toward the parody of a cavalier. She whistled her illusionary mastiffs around her and sent them speeding ahead to try to circle the goblin just as she saw his mount fall to the terrifying onslaught of Coral.
As she got within a half-dozen yards of the goblin, her steps slowed as she entered his vision and became more deliberate, until with one leg raised, she began a stylish pirouette. Her voice called out to him in wordless song as her arms reached out in exaggerated gestures toward him.

The wound is light, but enough to slow the goblin's escape.
Aendell notices the ensuing combat.
No Need for Aendell to roll Notice, it is pretty obvious at this point.
The Goblin Warchanter's Parry is 5, Toughness 6.
No damage from Zak's rapier, but only 1 bennie needed to be spent for the reroll.

Which means Catalena gets the +2, then if he doesn't go down, he looses Vulnerable.
Goblin Warchanter will recover from Shaken but acts very late in the round, so opportunity abounds.

As a rogue she gets sneak attack damage when target is Vulnerable. That's why I used Taunt. She also didn't count either the +2 Vulnerable or +2 Gang Up bonuses.
The first attack hit with a raise 13 above but should be 17 and the damage is 10 plus another 1d6 sneak attack.
The second attack would miss with a 5 above but should be 9 which would hit. That damage is 9 plus another 1d6 for sneak attack.)

I guess I add the following rolls to the damage
Selaim Sneak attack main
Miales rolled 1d6 and got 3
Selaim Sneak attack off hand
Miales rolled 1d6 and got 1
So the main damage should be 13

Both weapons draw blood, the lacerations running freely. The creature falls to his knees and then onto his face, quite dead.
Goblin Commando takes two more wounds, totaling 3, he is gone.
Zak is up next, right before the Goblin Warchanter. Parry 5, Toughness 6, currently Shaken. He will unshake, at the start of his turn.

So a 6 to hit, five to damage.

He bares his teeth in a snarl at the group of foes who have hemmed him in. "Pay," he says simply. He brings his hands together and a thunderous clap echoes outward, rebounding off the nearby walls.
Vigor roll for those nearby the GWC (IE attacking him) or be stunned. Target is only a 4 or better. Don't forget your Wild Die!

[OOC: For Coral, if I understand, her attacks are straight up. +4 wipes the -4, correct? If so, the 2nd attack on the first roll hits. That means just one benny is needed, which the first roll pair hits, so two hits. However, her hit pushes on Toughness, so she doesn't draw blood.
Aendell, however, does hit and does damage. There is insufficient damage to get a raise, so GWC is only Shaken.
I forgot to remove the Goblin Commando from the draw. Too bad he got a Red Joker.

Catalena finished her dance performance with the demise of her audience at the blade-points of the elven rogue.
"Ah, a pitch-perfect accompaniment, Selaim," she remarked, in Elven, then continued in Common. "We should perform this duet again, should another suitable and deserving patron arise."
Then, turning to see the activity around the heretofore hidden goblin warchanter, she espied a friend in need.
"Zachergillan!" she cried, and then ran to his side to pull him from danger as he recovered.
Her dogs followed her and then continued down the alley the goblin had been hiding in, their barks fading away as they turned the corner and disappeared from view.
Illusion ends at end of her turn.

Not to be out done, Coral leaps upon the fallen foe, and literally shreds the body to pieces.
Again those that are close by get covered in black ichor.
The people of the town seem to have survived the assault, what will the heroes do?
GWC was Shaken when Aendell hit him, which offers 3 wounds. That will kill this one.
However we don't want to ignore the little ole 28.
Combat is officially over, all may recover and do a Golden Hour bind of wounds or healing as necessary. You have plenty of fallen foes.

She'd been so focused on the enemy in front it wasn't until the guard reminded her of the enemy to the side. She saw Zak. She was nearly stunned imobile knowing that she needed to act but saw that other members of the party were much closer to the asction. She started to run to them when Aendell cut the goblin down and Coral finished whatever was left.

"I agree," Catalena replied to Zak, resheathing her katana, unbloodied in the second skirmish. "Insane little buggers were seemingly on a suicide mission here. While I wouldn't put it past them to die for the sake of a little havoc, they're generally selfish and obstreperous. So why did they do it? I wonder what tribe they are from?"
Catalena headed back alongside Zak to continue to help with the fires but took her time looking over the goblins' garb and accoutrements to see if she recognized any of the local goblin tribes' markings.

This is further confirmed that she sees a tree tattoo on some, a scar that looks like a road on others, and a red burn mark on even more. As she looks around, there are at least five different tribes of goblins that she can count quickly.
Without the mayhem of the goblins, the townspeople are beginning to make headway against the fires in this little wooden seaside village. With some help from the heroes, which the townspeople are now thanking them and calling them heroes, the fires are able to be put out.
It takes some time, and the sun is falling towards the horizon when it is done.
Both the Sheriff and the Mayor make personal appearances to say a very personal and appreciative thank you to each hero.
One man whom Aendell saved is dressed in dirty blue finery. "Come to the Rusty Dragon tonight, and I will buy you all a round for saving my life!"

She avoided people as she walked, and covered in the ichor that she was, people avoided her as she made her way to the beach and walked into the sea.
The nicks and scratches where the goblin weapons had broken her skin stang in the salt water, which helped her identify them and clean them, as she washed all the ichor from her hair, body, and clothes in the sea water.
Now, clean - but soaking wet - she made her way back to join the others once more. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2020 Posts: 1,482 Likes: 5 Member | | Member Joined: Dec 2020 Posts: 1,482 Likes: 5 | Catalena
"Well, that's quite strange," Catalena remarked, being sure to point out to both Sheriff Hemlock and Zachergillan that the goblins came from multiple tribes. As to why rival factions would be suddenly cooperative, she left such ponderings to the Sheriff, along with the worry of what that might mean for Sandpoint.
She was tired, having been up since well before dawn, the reward of enjoying the afternoon's rededication ceremony of the Cathedral now gone along with her fine fabric she'd hoped to be wearing in a few weeks. Despite her disappointment, she thanked Desna for the fact that no one had lost their lives other than the goblins.
Cat appreciated the thanks from Mayor Deverin and grudging respect from Hemlock. Alas, no such luck that her performance today might take some time off her sentence. In fact, he'd said, and she didn't think he was capable of a joke, she might need to stay on longer until the other men were trained up better in light of this new threat. She sighed, and, as the sun went down, found herself finally off-duty and headed for the comforts of the Rusty Dragon.
She had asked Aendell if he still wanted a Harrowing this day, now that the afternoon had gone. A promise was a promise. "But," she added, "It will have to be soon because I plan to drink until I can no longer remember the smell of those goblin corpses I'd had to clear from town." | | | | | Joined: Jan 2023 Posts: 5,162 Likes: 13 Coordinator of Chaos Member | | Coordinator of Chaos Member Joined: Jan 2023 Posts: 5,162 Likes: 13 | Selaim
She tried to hide in the shadows when the Mayor and Sheriff came over to the group to check on them and thank them for helping the town. She looked over to her friend horrified to see her covered in blood and ichor. Then followed her to the sea where Coral washed up. SHe stood watch as her friend bathed cleaning her falcatas with a scrap of cloth she'd found not wanting to wash them in the salty water.
As she cleaned her weapons she relived some of the fight. Standing beside Aendell and fighting the first group. They had worked well together and she felt that she helped him with his fight. That fight was more similar to the training they'd done since he learned of his weapons. Her arms would be sore the next day. That she knew. Her mind drifted to the second part of the fight. Coral taking off like a feral beast. The guard Zak knew dancing with her blade and opening things up for Selaim to sneak up behind the goblin.
That had felt good to use some of the things she learned on the streets to help. But what had not felt good was realizing that she'd been so focused on the goblin in front of her was that she was too late in helping her friends when the fight shifted at the end. Even if it had only been Zak who'd been hurt she should have been there.
SHhe gave Coral some space as they walked back to the group. Selaim quiet to let her friend process. Not knowing what to say to the girl. As they near the square where the fighting took place she looks around to find Zak. Seeing the blue haired half pint near some people she approaches.
"I'm sor..." she starts to apologize to him but trails off to ask. "How are you doing?" | | | | | Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 61,262 Likes: 3 Arssanguinus Moderator | | Arssanguinus Moderator Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 61,262 Likes: 3 | Zak:
He catches her eyes and looks directly into them, and is using a serious tone that is not characteristic of him.
“I’m good, Selaim. You have nothing to apologize for. There were more important things in this square than me.”
He motions around to the various guards and whatever citizens might still be around.
“You were busy helping them. And that was a good thing, Selaim. Not surprising , but certainly gratifying. Felt good, didn’t it?”
Then he breaks into his characteristic grin.
“Besides, I never knew you were that much of a dancer. Put my pointy little stick to shame.”
He says, patting his sheathed rapier.

He moves around the square, offering healing to those in need. As he does, he encounters the others and pats Selaim on the back, with a "well done" comment. He raises an eyebrow at Catalena's observation but doesn't have time to dwell on what it might mean just yet, although he does nod in response to her question about the Harrowing. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2016 Posts: 5,658 Likes: 5 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Apr 2016 Posts: 5,658 Likes: 5 | Coral

Selaim was still trying to process Zak's reaction when she felt Aendell's pat on the back and heard the whispered "Well done." She watched him go to help more people. Stuttering something to Zak she went off to help remove the bodies of the goblins and help people.
"Why would them being from separate tribes be strange?" she asks as she helps move a body. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2020 Posts: 1,482 Likes: 5 Member | | Member Joined: Dec 2020 Posts: 1,482 Likes: 5 | Catalena
Catalena was hauling a dead goblin toward one of the red wagons one of Gorvi's boys had helpfully parked in the center of Cathedral square. She dragged it along the ground by one foot not out of a particular contempt but because she didn't want the corpse discharging fluids all over her clothing. The goblins were foul enough when they were alive. When she saw Selaim joining in, she laughed, and said in Elven, "Oh, that is kind of you Selaim. But really, not necessary. You're supposed to be our guest and you've already been of great service. Let us grunts handle the dirty work."
Speaking of which, she saw Gorvi's boy lounging in the shade. "Oi!" she called over in Common, dropping the body next to the cart. "Help a lady out, eh? I just don't think I'm strong enough to do it," she added, sweetly, while rolling her eyes and giving Selaim a wink.
"These guys are artistes of torpidity," she said to Selaim, quietly, as she saw the man haul himself up to head over. "All he's going to do is dump them over Junker's Edge anyway. Some of these goblins actually make a bit of business down there picking the trash."
She turned to walk away to get another one, continuing the conversation to Selaim. "Why is it strange that they are from different tribes? Well, goblins are disorganized in general, if I can term them kindly, insane and feral if I'm being honest and they squabble like rats even within their own families, even to the point of killing one another over something pointless. Life is cheap for them. But the tribes are separate for a reason. They hate one another... the swamp tribe often wars with the beach tribe who hates the forest tribe, and so on. So, seeing all of them together, fighting as one? Quite strange. And disturbing because there are quite a lot of them and their own internecine battles help keep us safe." | | | | | Joined: Apr 2016 Posts: 5,658 Likes: 5 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Apr 2016 Posts: 5,658 Likes: 5 | Coral
Having created, what she hoped, was a good impression with the mayor, Coral did what she did best - look like a sweet, innocent and helpless young girl - lost in a big world.
She headed off in the direction the goblins had appeared from, to see if she could find how they had got into the town. She wondered if they had scaled the walls - whcih seemed unlikely, or overwhelmed the gate guards. | | | | | Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,093 Likes: 10 Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator | | OP Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,093 Likes: 10 | The Goblins appeared all around the main square, seemingly sprouting up from thin air. The only indicator as to where they might have come from was the Goblin Warchanter that tried to make an escape and was caught.

After Aendell nodded his assent to a Harrowing, Catalena replied that it would best be done back at the Rusty Dragon. She requested as well, quite seriously, that he spend his time thinking what his question was so it was firmly in his mind for when they met.
(OOC Sorry for two posts, but I'd forgotten I'd wanted to reply to Zeim. Zeim, can you give me a heads-up ooc as to what Aendell wants to know? There's some preparation I'd want to do before I write up that scene and the question affects the Choosing.
As far as trying to investigate where the goblins came from, I think Catalena is too occupied at the moment and also tends not to be particularly inquisitive as a person)

AFter having her load removed she looked around to see whaere the rest of the group was. Seeing Aendell helping the wounded she starts in that direction but notices Coral wandering off alone then Zak following her.
"What are you doing you lech?" she asks herself. "Was she wrong to start trusting him again?"
She changes direction and heads to catch up with her friend at a light jog wanting to get to Coral but holding up when she catches up to Zak to walk with him as they follow Coral.

Many people suffered minor burns and or slashes. Most are pretty easy to bind and take care of. The majority of the effort is in trying to keep the seaside town from burning down. Very few buildings are actually stone, most are wood.
Selaim, Zak, and Coral head around the corner and look for any kind of a sign of where the War chanter had been running off to.
A block or two from the square, they realize there are very little signs of anyone other than normal townspeople having visited. In fact as they examine the area, most of the trouble occurred at the square in front of the new church right at the time the thunderstone was used to get everyone's attention. The release of the swallowtail butterflies happened, but most missed it as they were too busy dealing with the little green mayhem creators.
Just when the trio feels like they have nothing else they can find, they see the spoor of some kind of a creature. It doesn't take a genius to realize that is the dung from the rat dog thing that one of the goblins was riding.
Given that they see that the rider must have come from the direction of the north wall. Though a dog climbing a wall is an interesting concept, most wouldn't do that very well.
Anyone who knows the town also knows the cemetery is in that direction as well. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2016 Posts: 5,658 Likes: 5 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Apr 2016 Posts: 5,658 Likes: 5 | Coral

Remarkably most people are not hurt.
They do find two dead dogs as they go through, obviously skewered by the little rusty knives the creatures were wielding.
In a moment they are at the edge of the cemetery. It borders the north wall of the town.

At least some of the goblins came from over the wall and through the hallowed ground. She may not realize it being new to the town but this is the only section of the town protected by a wall, which would be more challenging entry point than many others.
Aendell is able to catch up and sees them starting across the headstone dotted plane. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2023 Posts: 5,162 Likes: 13 Coordinator of Chaos Member | | Coordinator of Chaos Member Joined: Jan 2023 Posts: 5,162 Likes: 13 | Selaim
"The tracks run this way," she points out as she leads them into the graveyard until they get to the wall.
"So it looks like they climbed over the wall here to get in the city. Wait we didn't have to pass any gates to get into town just cross a bridge. Why did they come in this way?" | | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 22,163 Likes: 8 (Buffalo) Moderator | | (Buffalo) Moderator Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 22,163 Likes: 8 | Aendell
Approaching the group from the town center he pauses and asks Selaim, "What's up?" | | | | | Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,093 Likes: 10 Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator | | OP Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,093 Likes: 10 | As they examine the tracks a bit more, it seems that many are in and around a couple of the larger crypts. One in particular Tobyn family seems to have a bit more attention. People might note he was one of the founders of Sandpoint. The metal doors stand askew.
Near the wall they spot a ladder as well, a quick look tells them that a ladder is on each side of the north wall. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2016 Posts: 5,658 Likes: 5 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Apr 2016 Posts: 5,658 Likes: 5 | Coral
"Let's look in the crypts," she suggested, and, without bothering to wait for agreement, headed off towards them.
"Maybe the goblins were just a distraction for grave-robbers," she suggested. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 61,262 Likes: 3 Arssanguinus Moderator | | Arssanguinus Moderator Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 61,262 Likes: 3 | zak
"Careful, coral. Things to note- there is a ladder on this side of the wall. I find that disturbing. Also, lets slow down and be careful, both not to disturb evidence, and to be safe | | | | | Joined: Apr 2016 Posts: 5,658 Likes: 5 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Apr 2016 Posts: 5,658 Likes: 5 | Coral
"Uh ... what?" she asked, somewhat confused that someone would challenge what to her was the blindingly obvious course of action.
"Sorry, what?" she asked again, wondering who to direct her question towards. | | |
