Oh that's fine. I almost said

Oh, that's right there in Gror's offer too. But come on, Jason, we don't need to offer them blood money and tell them we have shiny things for them. They're goblins, not little children or jackdaws.

In fact, you just gave them an excuse to try and rob us

Good work Jason, you unwittingly helped the others overcome the goblins without a fight, and all of you get full XP for that.

Listen checks at 15/20/25, once again, everyone. All of a sudden, out of nowhere...



EDIT: Forgot DC success table.

You're welcome to make optional Survival rolls if you wish. I'll allow some sort of skill related to tactics or group combat as well, but don't push it.

EDIT: DC for most will be my standard 15/20/25, unless you have a special case.

Jason, your strike hit the dretschan, barely. However, there are two within AoO range. (yes, these are edited drestchan, not normal drestchan)

#1 roll to strike:
#1 damage roll (stunning roar, stuns target for 1d6 rounds, Fort DC 15 to resist):

#2 roll to strike:
#2 damage roll (slashing leg strike):

How would you know? I could check, but it would take a round that could be better spent hitting them; it's obvious enough that they want to eat us, whether they're evil or not.

Let's see here. That last roll was a survival check, and I suppose if I'll throw in a knowledge (nature) check to see if I know anything about these beasties.

Knowledge (nature):

Now, the spell I used was summon swarm and I used it to produce a bat swarm (yes, a bat swarm is 5000 bats, I checked the number). I expect it to be destroyed in the next round unless these modded destracans had their area effect attacks removed in which case my "Mwahahaha!" is extra warranted. They have a DC 11 distraction, so any of the creatures I managed to hit have to save or be naseauted. If I'm really lucky the creatures will need to use friendly fire to take out the bats as the ones in the swarm will be disabled.

Also, they automatically deal 1d6 damage and if they deal any damage to a creature then that creature is wounded and thus loses 1 hp per round unless exposed to a cure spell or it gets a DC 10 heal check. That means that any of the creatures I hit will be dead in a few minutes from blood loss unless they get a medic to give them attention right away. I don't know how you're doing summon spells, but here's the HP for the bat swarm just in case.

HP:
And their damage:

Swarm damage:
Finally, as to my targetting, here are my priorities:

1) Not hitting allies
2) Hitting the maximum number of enemies
3) Assisting allies directly

So hopefully two of them fall within a ten foot square.

Well I need to know because I have Sacred Strike which automatically does d8's instead of d6's for damage. So to save time i need to know what they are to make sure my rolls are right.

Haizu, post two sneak attack damage strings in the future, one d6 and the other d8. rhoenix can then use the one that applies. This is a play by post game, it won't slow the game down.
