{{A vore-de-grace is a provoking full round action that sends a helpless target to your stomach}}<br/>{{In a case like this where the character's action is scary enough, using the intimidate skill is a free round action.}}<br/><br/><br/><br/>When Doru is pounced and slain, Goblin A barely manages to slip from his saddle and retreat hastily. He keeps his lance pointed at the lion as he runs, though unlike Inse he is not very acrobatic and he nearly stumbles while doing this.<br/>[GA lance attack @ Chrrou: 1d20(14) +7 +1(luck) = 22; hit,<span style="font-weight: bold">5 piercing damage</span>]<br/>[GA moves 30 feet north, provoking an AoO from Chrrou]<br/><br/><br/><br/>Hobgoblin A tries to parry Sashi's attack with his sword, but she is too quick. Her blade knocks his aside and scores three solid blows that penetrate his chainmail. He drops his weapon and collapses.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Takal's grapple had taken a turn for the ugly when the worg started to draw him into his slathering jaws. Thankfully, Geno comes to the monk's assistance and subdues the lupine brute with a vicious chomp of his own. Worg E whimpers and slumps to the ground, still alive but unable to fight any further.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Thanks to his tapped troll nutrion, the alpha worg hasn't actually expired; he is only incapacitated. Kalsh is dimly aware of the scene that is unfolding as Rihyan picks him up. It infuriates him, but he can do nothing to stop where this is headed.<br/><br/>"(goblin expletive)" shouts Hobgoblin G, eyes wide in his sockets as he backs away from the rearing centaur.<br/>[HG Attack of Oppourtunity: 1d20(4) +7 +2 (rage) +1 (luck) +1 (haste) = 15; miss]<br/>[HG Intimidate resist: 1d20(6) +6  +1 (luck) +2 (rage) = 15; fail; HG is shaken for 5 rounds]<br/>The four pounds of metal in his hands suddenly feels very inadequate for the task.<br/><br/>[HF Attack of Oppourtunity: 1d20(10) +8 +2 (rage) +1 (luck) +1 (haste) = 21; miss]<br/>[HF Intimidate resist: 1d20(16) +6 +1 (luck) +2 (rage) = 25; fail; HF is shaken for 3 rounds]<br/>The axe bearer brings his blade down on the torso that reaches for Kalsh, but it glides off of the celestial chain. He then backs away, wary like his companion G of having one of those front hooves stomp down on him with well over a ton of force.<br/><br/>The two warriors hesitate with their weapons held defensively, neither wanting to become Rihyan's third meal.<br/><br/><br/>The words the centaur spoke are all but irrelevant--Hobgoblin culture places little value on spoken words. Rather, the language they regard as the noblest is the language of physical might. And in that language, Rihyan has just made an eloquent address.<br/><br/>A hint of fear and doubt can be seen to creep into the Heodo, as it occurs to them that they are facing warriors of a higher grade. They are still full of bloodlust and battle-rage, to be sure, and too proud to ask for quarter. But their spirits are dampened. On top of this, the source of the testosterone and hunger that had started this fight to begin with--Kalsh--is now gone.<br/><br/><br/>Goblin B, the brains of the Heodo, stares up at the towering predator, slack-jawed, his hands frozen in mid-gesture. When Rihyan snaps his wings and drops loudly to the ground, the little mage flinches and takes an involuntary step back.<br/><br/>"Gorgrah!" he says quickly to the matron. "(goblin)They are very strong...maybe we should consider diplomacy..."<br/><br/>The matron watches Rihyan's body ripple with Kalsh's bulk, and her grin actually widens. But of course, she is mostly mad, and so this grin is not very comforting to her clan-children.<br/>"(goblin)Stop your sniveling, child." she says to the mage. "Your cowardice displeases the Many." She then raises her voice to a shout that can be heard by all. "(Goblin) NO ONE INSULTS HEODO AND LIVES! KILL THEM! NO MERCY!" Her voice is then drowned out by a cacophony of horrible, inhuman noises that are ear-splittingly loud. Those within ten feet of the point of origin (a bubble that encompasses the party) experience a brief but intense pain in their ears.<br/>[Hobgoblin K casts<a class="postlink" href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/soundBurst.htm">Sound Burst</a>: all take 4 sonic damage and are<a class="postlink" href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/conditionSummary.htm#stunned">stunned</a>for one round.
