Surprise Attack - Round 1


Fizz grabs a couple of nuts from his pack and hops down into the powder snow next to Peck. Spreading out the back of his Yeti cloak on a small mound of snow, he sits and peers at the pack of goblins and scrawny looking polar bears pulling the wagon. Crunching down on his snack he looks over at the group,

"I don't want Ms. Peck down next to those bears Mr. Mutt. She'd look like the biggest, most delicious chicken nugget to them for sure!"

Examining the ground on the way to the goblins, Fizz tries to see if they can create a downhill ski/sled assault. Scooping up a bit of snow, he rolls it back and forth on the surface to see how big of a snowball he can make before the group makes a decision.




"If only we had a giant snowball to roll down the hill, then we can just roll them up like ants on a giant Marshie-mellow." Fizz says thoughtfully to no one in particular.
"Oh Mr. Uptharr, I hope we don't have kill the Polar Bears!" Fizz says with concern in his eyes.
"Maybe we can just cut the ropes and let them go back to their homes. I can try and talk to them if you like, but I don't speak Bear very well."

Uptharr nods thoughtfully at Fizzbum's concern, as he gazes down at the goblins and the two polar bears.



"Aye, I agree, Fizz. If those polar bears are not inherently aggressive or under some dark influence, we should indeed try to spare them. Mercy and stewardship are values we should uphold. Let us hope they will depart peacefully."

Azalie



“I’ll try and talk to them Fizz. I am not into killing polar bears either.” Azalie looks out thinking of a way to sneak attack, “Fizz, you have me a great idea. It may involve an axe beak or a dog and Dorf in lying wait.”

Mutt looks over the scene at the 8 goblins straining to pull their sled towards the goblin wagon. The goblins outnumbered them but at least the polar bears were tethered to the wagon and were further away. They probably wouldn't have to deal with the bears, at least not yet.

Mutt looks to the party.



"I'm not risking my life any more than I absolutely have to. We don't need to fight all the goblins or the bears." (Mutt looks directly at Azalie and Fizz as he mentions the bears) "Our goal here is to recover the sled. All we have to do is make sure they don't get it connected to their wagon. I say we use our element of surprise, stop the goblins from pulling the sled closer to their wagon, and move to recover the sled."

Mutt looks down at the goblins pulling the sled.

"Goblins aren't known for their bravery. If we're lucky and manage to kill off the ones pulling the sled quickly, the rest may choose not to pursue."
Mutt looks to the group.
"I'm not going to ask you to put your axebeaks in harm's way, but we need a way to close the distance between us and that sled quickly. Once we recover the sled, we're also going to need a way to pull it out of here."

Dorf knows he isn’t the smartest in the group so he waits patiently for the others to come up with a plan.




“I’ll do whatever you guys want as long as I get to kill nasty goblins!” Thinking along the lines of what Fizz said he wonders if he could get enough speed going downhill on his shield to bust into the goblins while his friends run up? “Can’t wait to carve up some goblins either my new yeti weapons.”

Uptharr gathers the party's attention, his voice steady and commanding,



"Listen closely, I have a plan. I'll charge at the goblins pulling the sled, drawing their attention and creating a distraction. As I do, Azalie and Mutt, I need you two to be ready. The moment they're focused on me, unleash your ranged attacks with your bow and crossbow. And just as our enemies reel from your strikes, Dorf and Fizzbum, that's your cue to surge in from the flanks. Hit them hard and fast, catching them completely off guard. This coordinated assault will give us the advantage we need. Does that sound like a good plan?"

Azalie and the team discuss what steps to take. Azalie hears Uptharr's suggestion and agrees that it sounds like the right course of action.




"Alright Howlbears, it's time for some exercise." Azalie gets a little grin on her face as she casts 'Hail of Thorns' directly on a Yeti fang arrow. "I'm aiming for the gob on the right, the middle one."

She nods at Uptharr to get ready to run. Looking quickly at all her friends, Azalie ready her bow.

"Dorf, it's time to get to work. I am looking for a good workout." she can feel the adrenaline rushing through her.
"Mutt, can I get some inspiration? You know, just in case?" Azalie is confident and even more when her friends are with her.

Silently, the party members nod in agreement with Uptharr's strategy and begin to maneuver into their designated positions with stealth. With the dogs and Axe beaks, securely away from the combat zone, Azalie and Mutt find cover where they can best line up their ranged attacks, while Dorf and Fizzbum quietly flank to the sides, ready to spring into action. In the cold, shadowy landscape of Icewind Dale, the group sets the stage for their impending surprise attack, their movements as hushed as the falling snow.

Stepping to the side to avoid the shaking and slicing warrior, Fizz raises his hands far above his head summoning the power of the storm and then strangely turns around, sticks his gnomish butt out.

Excited



"Bringin the Thundah From down Undah!"

As Fizzbum, with a flair for the dramatic, turns around to unleash his unconventional version of Thunderwave, the result is less than impressive. His attempt at a potent magical fart starts with a promising rumble but quickly fizzles out into a series of anticlimactic toots. (Performance Check: 6), however soon after the final toot, the loud crash of the Thunderwave blasts out in all directions, sending Goblins flying everywhere.

Snow Goblin:

Surprised



Alerted by the sight of Dorf taking down one of their own, a goblin by the wagon emits a sharp, warning shout to its comrades, ""Zog zog! Brakka" as the goblin Hurls his dagger at Dorf.

Surprised

One of the goblins inside the Wagon, peeks out a small window and recognizing the dire situation, bellows a command that cuts through the din of combat,



"Nak! Nak! Grosh zagut!" He repeats his call over and over and all of the Goblins begin to shriek and squeal as they all frantically start running for the Wagon.

The Goblin shouts his commands out across the battle field. You can clearly hear his cries of "Nak! Nak! Grosh Zagut!". As he yells this out, all of the Goblins begin to frantically run toward the wagon.

Alerted to Uptharr`s advance across the battlefield, the tundra goblin hastily takes aim with his crossbow and fires. However, the bolt veers off its intended path, whistling past Uptharr and embedding itself harmlessly in the snow beyond.


As the polar bears unleash a thunderous roar, they start to pull the wagon away from the battle, as the Tundra goblin pulls the reigns. The fleeing goblins scramble toward the safety of their fortified wagon. Those near the wagon leap aboard frantically, clambering over each other to find a spot inside the wagon.

Called shot on the strap keeping the bear attached to the cart. "I want to at least free the polar bears before they flee."

Called Shot!

Her arrow flies true, slicing through the straps with a clean cut, causing them to snap apart and freeing the two bears from their confines, the Bears roar and continue to run as the Wagon slows to a halt in the Tundra.


Fearfully

The goblins begin to squeal and shriek as their wagon comes to a halt.

Snow Goblin:

Tundra Goblin:

Standard Action: You are attacking Dorf Thimblerigger with your Light Crossbow

Fearfully



The Tundra goblin`s eyes widen in panic as he witnesses the polar bears being freed, and with a frenzied shout, "Nog! Nog! Grakka dor!" he scrambles to the wagon`s window. Frantically loading his crossbow, he takes aim at Dorf, his hands trembling with desperation.

Despite the Tundra goblin`s frantic efforts, his crossbow bolt whizzes past Dorf, missing by a few inches. The bolt buries itself into the snowy ground.


Snow Goblin:

Standard Action: You are attacking Fizzbum Lilypad with your Light Crossbow

Powefully



With a fierce battle cry, "Zurk! Zurk! Brakka!" which echoes his ferocious intent, the other Tundra goblin takes aim at Fizzbum

Standard Action: You are attacking Tundra Goblin with your Sling

Mockingly



"Goblins, come out and playyyy!!!"

Mutt:

Standard Action: You are attacking Tundra Goblin with your Lt Crossbow

Anxiously

Mutt's face brightens as the goblins appear to be making a run for it. He relaxes slightly as the goblin wagon starts to rumble away being pulled by the polar bears. Dorf was still chasing the wagon, but Mutt was (somewhat) confident the halfling wouldn't be able to catch it and get into much more trouble. He smiled in satisfaction as he looked over the recovered sled. They managed to recover the sled without sustaining too much damage and...

Mutt looks over in surprise as Azalie races past him, comes to a stop in the snow nearby, notches an arrow to her cheek and lets fly. Mutt's brightened mood immediately drops as her arrow flies true and releases the polar bears from the wagon. Seeing the wagon come to a stop with many panicking goblins inside, Mutt curses and runs forward to support the party.



"Ahhh....shit!"

Kill Shot!

Mutt`s crossbow bolt sails through the air, homing in on the narrow window slit. Just as it seems the shot is off course, fortune smiles on Mutt as the crossbow bolt is nudged just enough by the wind to slip through the opening, embedding itself into the shoulder of the Tundra goblin inside! The shot deals 11 points of damage! Killing the Tundra Goblin!


Uptharr

Move Action: Uptharr rushes to Dorf`s side, his eyes narrowing as he spots the dagger lodged in the Halfling`s side. Grasping the hilt, he yanks it free, turning to the wagon and muttering,

Disgusted



"For every wound inflicted upon us, a reckoning awaits," . He launches the dagger toward a Tundra goblin.

Uptharr sends the dagger spinning toward the wagon, but his aim is skewed. The blade veers wildly off course, falling short and thudding into the snowy ground, nowhere near its intended target or the wagon.


Polar Bears:

Move Action: Moved 35 feet

The polar bears, liberated from their bindings, gallop into the expansive, moonlit tundra, their heavy paws thudding against the icy ground..

Mutt:

Free Action: Dialogue

Seeing his bolt strike home and the majority of the goblins cowering away from the window slit, Mutt begins to run towards the wagon and waving his arms wildly to try and get the attention of the rest of the party.



“WAIT! WAIT! We don’t have to kill them all! Let me talk to them!”

Azalie:

Move Action: Dashes 45 feet

Bonus Action: Azalie prepares another fire arrow with her oil flask. Standing straight up, she pulls her bow in a threatening manner.

Azalie calls for her friends to come forward with her.



“Mutt, they aren’t going anywhere. Ask them your questions.”

Dorf looks back at his friends with a bewildered expression on his face,



“you are trying to talk with filthy goblins?” Dorf continues moving towards the sled.

Mutt shouts towards Dorf as he moves towards the wagon.



“Just let me try to get them out of there before that wagon gets further damaged and any more blood is spilled.” Mutt motions to the arrow sticking out of Fizz’s butt.
“If we’re lucky, we can get out of here without any further scrapes and an intact wagon. If I can’t parley and get them out peacefully then by all means hack them into little bits. All I’m asking for is a chance.”

Uptharr puts his hand on Dorf’s shoulder,



“though they may be foes, let’s not forget the value of mercy. True courage is about not knowing when to take a life, but when to spare one.”

"Easy for you to say you didn’t have 3 of their daggers in you big fella!", says dorf

Dorf will wait to see what happens.


Tundra Goblin:

Fearfully



As the Tundra goblin sets the wagon ablaze, it barks out in the harsh, guttural tones of the Goblin language, "Nak zog brakka, gurkha zog nak!" Then, addressing a pet hawk, the goblin commands, "lurk zag gurk!" before leaping out the window of the flaming wagon.


Goblins:

As the party begins to regroups near the sled, Mutt urgently calls for a pause, hoping to negotiate with the goblins. However, chaos ensues as the lead goblin issues a guttural command and sets the wagon ablaze, the fire spreading rapidly. In a desperate bid for survival, the goblins leap from the burning wagon, as they frantically run away into the tundra.

Mutt:

Move Action: Dashed 40 feet

“Dorf! Let them go! We got what we came for!”

Uptharr:

Standard Action: You are using Lay on Hands at Dorf Thimblerigger

Uptharr places his hands on Dorf, murmuring a sacred incantation as a warm, golden light flows from his palms. The divine energy envelops the halfling, mending his wounds and infusing him with renewed vitality. Dorf feels the pain recede as he gains back 10 HP.



"Agreed, we have the sled and ingots. Lets not waste time chasing goblins in the night"

Meanwhile, the two polar bears change direction at the sight of the fleeing goblins and begin to pursue.

Mutt hurries over to his sled and guides Stout and Ipa over to the dwarves’ sled. While Azalie works to rig the harnesses to fit over the axebeaks, Mutt begins helping Uptharr position and distribute ingots between the two sleds and Uptharr’s axebeak. Satisfied the distributed ingots are secure, he nods and smiles at Azalie’s handiwork.


“Well done, Az. Let’s get out of here before anyone comes to investigate that smoke or those bears decide they’re still hungry.”


Mutt looks back in the direction he thinks the town is. (Survival check made)


“I think the way back to town is that way. What do you think, Az?”

Azalie glances back at where the bears were. Only red snow and a few green and red bits of flesh remain. “I’m so glad we didn’t have to kill those bears. Hopefully they filled up before heading off. I’d hate for another group to be attacked.” she shrugs her shoulders in a form of acceptance, words of some snow from her cloak. She turns back as Mutt starts to gesture the direction of town.


“I do believe that is the right direction. Let’s head out.” Azalie seems to have them all fooled. She’s scared that their trek to town will be full of encounters. It is night, in the tundra, the sun hasn’t risen in many moon phases, the yetis…

The wagon has burned out after 15 minutes, while the party loads up the two sleds with Ingots and attaches two Axe Beaks to the Dwarves sled. There isn't anything but charred bits of the wagon left - nothing that Dorf finds interesting or that lets him know why they burned their wagon to the ground.

Fizzbum slips past the back of the sled and across to Dorf, avoiding the blood and pieces on the snow from the thunderized Goblin. Fizz gently pats Dorf on his arm, and tiny little green leaves appear on his Yeti sleeve, glowing faintly as they swirl slowly around his wrist and weapon. Handing him a "Potion of Healing", Fizz encourages Dorf to keep up the attack. "You got this Mr. Dorf! Don't slow down now!"

Azalie dashes 30' towards the goblins. She slides to a stop, atop of a fallen log. She lines up and fires her arrow at the goblin closest to Fizz. She gets a remnant from Fizz's Thunderfart.


Azalie's facial expression changes quickly, as she fights off the urge to wretch. "Say Hello to my stinky frind."


The arrow fires and Azalie quickly covers her nose and mouth.
