Of course, it wouldn't go over well if she called it hiding. Perhaps...<em>searching for a concealed location in which to achieve the tactical upper hand!</em>Oh yes, that was a much better way to phrase it. Feeling extremely pleased with her clever words, she took a minute to mentally pat herself on the back before--<br/><br/>He had done it! Alec had thrown the rock and actually hit the house! On the one hand, the Cleric was very impressed; she couldn't hit the broad side of a barn standing 10 feet away. On the other hand,<em>goblins!</em>Selphie followed his suggestion and took a knee rather quickly, not that it did anything to hide their very exposed forms in the gourde field. Still, it felt better than standing there to gawk! Frightened, the brunette clapped her hands together and bowed her head in prayer. With brown eyes squeezed shut, she hastily began her chant.<br/><br/><strong>"Oh Casta, you voracious vixen of venereal delights, please touch us with your protective hand. Please fill us with your loving warmth!"</strong>The would-be acolyte barely took a breath as she spit the words out with a tremble. This was it. This was the end.<br/><br/>The seconds ticked by long after the glass and<em>clinked</em>to the floor with no angry goblins swarming out of the old wooden farm. Eventually, Selphie opened her eyes and gave a side-long glance to her companions. No battle cries, no clashing of steel, no crunching bones. The great calamity Selphie had expected to rain down on the quartet was not forthcoming.<br/><br/>But there was definitely a new sound that could be heard coming from the barn...<br/><hr/><div align="center">GM NOTES<br/>The Stolen Amulet (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=333546.msg15888199#msg15888199)<br/>(https://i.imgur.com/tLfbM8X.jpg?1)</div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">"Combat and Environment Information"</div><div class="spoiler_body">As the group gets closer to the barn, they might notice:<br/>1. The language being spoken inside is definitely goblin.<br/>2. The voices inside range from angry to excited to distressed.<br/>3. There is a squelching sound!<br/>4. The building is used for storage and is filled with piles of hay, mounds of tools, and stacks of crates making it difficult to clearly see what's happening inside.<br/>5. A glimpse of a fully armored goblin can be seen from the broken window; it definitely should have responded to the window breaking... why didn't it?<br/><br/>Opening the door:<br/>6. Will cause 1 fully armored and 1 half clothed (pants on) goblin to start combat. They will rush outside.<br/>7. Going inside the barn will not be an option until the goblins are defeated.<br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><strong>COMBAT</strong></div><br/>tl;dr<br/>Attack 1 or 2 times per turn (your choice).<br/>Deal between 1-4 damage each attack (your choice).<br/>Note the HP of the monster at the bottom of your post.<br/>You control the monsters and their actions.<br/><br/>This is my example combat post! I attack the first goblin that comes out of the door. He's little. He's green. He's super mean. I swing my dagger in surprise, but my aim is true! I connect with my target and my blade makes a deep cut on the monster. I say something snappy instead of going in for another swing and the goblin takes advantage of my hubris and stabs me. I'm bleeding! It hurts! I retreat because goblins are mean and the little beast starts to chase after me.<br/><br/>Melee A: 7/10  &lt;- Just take whatever the current health total is and subtract the damage done. The next player knows that Melee A now has 7 remaining HP.<br/>Me: 12/15 &lt;- Only you control your HP <br/><br/>Since we are a group and there is combat, I have put together a fairly straightforward combat system for us. For the sake of clarity, you will just <strong>choose how much damage you are dealing</strong> to a monster and make note of it at the bottom of your post. This will allow writers to know when it is appropriate to land the killing blow to a monster. Your typical damage should be between 1-4 per attack. There are no damage modifiers; do not take into consideration lack of armor, weaknesses, etc. On <strong>RARE</strong> occasion, it is okay to do more damage if it's relevant to the narrative ie: those save-the-day Hero moments where you muster that inner strength! <br/><br/><strong>It is 100% acceptable to control the monsters and their actions.</strong> You can control them attacking your character <strong>and</strong> you can initiate combat with another character. You may also choose how much damage is done to your character. There will be no player deaths or anything - just choose what fits your narrative and is fun to write.<br/><br/><div align="center"><strong>CURRENT ENEMIES</strong><br/><br/><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td></td></tr></tbody></table><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td><div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_u">MELEE A | Fully Armored</span></strong></div></td><td>  |  </td><td><div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_u">MELEE B | Only Pants</span></strong></div></td><td>  |  </td><td><div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_u">placeholder</span></strong></div></td><td>  |  </td><td><div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_u">placeholder</span></strong></div></td><td>  |  </td><td><div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_u">placeholder</span></strong></div></td></tr><tr><td><div align="center">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/1/10/827eb22cc29d6851bedbbad5911ec690.jpg)<br/>HP: 10/10</div></td><td>  |  </td><td><div align="center">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/1/10/827eb22cc29d6851bedbbad5911ec690.jpg)<br/>HP: 10/10</div></td><td>  |  </td><td><div align="center"> </div></td><td>  |  </td><td><div align="center"> </div></td><td>  |  </td><td><div align="center"> </div></td></tr></tbody></table></div></div></div>
