Good with her hands, in all senses of the word~~</em><br/><strong>Post Number:</strong>19<br/><br/><hr/><br/>The waiting was the worst part, by far; that nervous time before the combat, the calm before the storm where the world held its breath, and any number of things could go wrong without Tem or her team ever knowing what had happened. As the seconds stretched into infinity before her, every moment feeling like an eternity, thoughts tumbled over themselves in her head. What if they failed to climb the wall, fell and broke their necks? What if they'd been spotted, and Cass had had her throat slit as soon as she crested the rise? What if they were already in combat, fighting to the death and the silence of the Fort was somehow magical in nature in a way that meant that nobody else could hear the conflict? The longer it went without the signal, the more ridiculous and fanciful yet no less horrifying her imagination became, until she was almost beside herself with impatience, aching to ride in and kill as many of the little green skinned freaks as she could, signal or no damn signal. She'd heard what the Goblins had done to the last captive, and how callous they were about it...if it was Cass, or Ven, or Mira in there, if they were fighting for their lives to avoid being a goblins new plaything or a dogs chewtoy...she shivered to think what could possibly be worse than that. Well...maybe the reverse. She growled lowly at the thought.<br/><br/>When the signal came to advance, she almost breathed a heavy sigh of relief; a loud birdcall echoed throughout the canyon - obviously made by Cass; any birds nearby would have been hunted for food or sport by the Goblins, and the redtail hawk was not the kind of bird that would frequent such a blasted landscape anyway - and she wasted no time in responding in kind, warbling out her own birdcall in answer to confirm that she'd heard the signal before giving the "Forward" gesture to her team.<strong>"Tha's th' signal! Go!"</strong>They knew the plan; climb the steps as quickly as possible, and don't let the Goblins mount a unified defence. With any luck, their assault would draw the Goblins attention towards the front entrance, allowing Teams 1 and 2 to move in from behind and catch them in the pincer movement. Signals given, she kicked Dorghar into movement, guiding him with her knees to charge up the incline as quickly as she dared, turning in her seat as she did so to fire off two rapid arrows at the Goblin as she passed, sending him tumbling to the ground with a squeak of surprise and a darkly satisfying crunch as it crumpled to the ground, dead. With any luck, that would be one less goblin to deal with on their approach. If not...well, it wouldn't take much more to take him down, she'd say that much. She could only hope that the other teams advanced smoothly, or her own strike force was in for a whole world of hurt.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">TL;DR</div><div class="spoiler_body">Tem signals back that they have heard, then gestures to her team to advance.

Normally this would be twenty squares, but due to Difficult Terrain, she only moves ten squares.<br/>Move is as follows:<br/><br/><strong>Free Action:</strong><br/>Tem answers the birdcall with one of her own, then gives the order to advance. <br/>Tem Rolled Survival: 1d20a9 Result: 17 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=122213)<br/><br/><strong>Move 1:</strong> <br/>- Diagonally down to the right (5ft Move, 10ft Cost), in front of Paan.<br/>- 4 Squares Down (20ft Move, 40ft Cost), Parallel to Goblin.<br/><br/><strong>Move 2:</strong><br/>- 3 Squares Down (15ft Move, 30ft Cost), parallel to gap in road.<br/>- 1 Square Diagonally Right (5ft Move, second Diagonal, 20ft Cost), Bottom Row, Middle Square.<br/><br/>During this move, as per Mounted Archery Rules, Tem is allowed to take a Full Attack with her bow at any point during this movement (as if she were a Turret) at a -4 penalty to all attacks. As she rides past the Goblin, she takes two shots at him as per the Zen Archer Flurry of Blows (Ranged) Feature.<br/><br/>Ordinarily, she would gain a +11 Bonus To Hit (+1 Bab, +6 Dex, +1 &lt;30 ft, +1 Mounted, +2 Favoured Enemy) but due to the Goblin being on raised ground she loses that +1 Mounted bonus, and the -4 To Hit applies. This means that both of her shots are at +6.<br/><br/>Since Tem has only just revealed herself to an unaware enemy, she is attacking his Flat Footed AC.<br/><br/>Tem Rolled Hit 1: 1d20a6 Result: 15 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=122208)<br/><br/>Assuming this hits, she rolls 2d6 +3 To Hit (2d6 Weapon +1 &lt;30ft +2 Favoured Enemy)<br/><br/>Tem Rolled Damage 1: 2d6a3 Result: 10 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=122209)<br/><br/>If the Goblin is still alive, she takes a Second Shot:<br/><br/>Tem Rolled Hit 2: 1d20a6 Result: 20 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=122211)<br/><br/>Tem Rolled Damage 2: 2d6a3 Result: 7 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=122212)<br/><br/><strong>NOTE:</strong> Large Creatures can "Squeeze" into Medium Spaces. Dorghar is doing that now, taking -4 Hit and -4 AC to fit into a 5ft square.</div></div>
