Re: Third Expedition - The Caves of Chaos
Cormac will move to a position more defensible and less in sight.

Re: Third Expedition - The Caves of Chaos
Sorry for the unusually long delay. Also sorry to delay longer, but I need to know how this scene by the barricade shakes down before I can do a general update, as it will govern what the rest of the party sees.

Ampersand Mxyzptlk Kerfuffle Humperdink Wongdoodle Biddleshaft the Third scampers invisibly back to the main group. "You'd better go! The hobs—they know! One saw the oil, so—oh, bugger, what rhymes with 'oil?' Um, um, our plan they did foil?"
"Lousy rhyme," he mutters under his breath. "It's hard to do that all of the time."

"TOIL. So much for all your toil," Lardo replies to Ampersand as they fall back toward their comrades. "At least they're down one crossbow. We better get some fire down that hallway and soon."

Old Sham will fire a flaming arrow at the barricade.
Attack with Shortbow: [1d20+1] = 16+1 = 17, Damage: [1d6] = 4

Re: Third Expedition - The Caves of Chaos
Sham said he would fire at any sign of a "commotion", and I think the hobgoblin's actions on discovering the oil qualify; therefore, he will shoot before Lardo and Ampersand return to the group.
Initiative for monsters: [1d6] = 2
Initiative for party: [1d6] = 1
Seeing the hobgoblins react to something and begin gabbling, Sham looses his fiery missile down the hall. It strikes true into the front of the barricade, which promptly goes up like a bonfire. The group can hear shouts...but they sound more angry and surprised than pained.
Ampersand and Lardo announce their presence mere moments later.
Actions?

Brother Henry - Priest
Henry readies his sling and a stone, waiting till he sees a visible target and keeps an eye out for Lardo to appear.

Cormac readies the crossbow he took.

Re: Third Expedition - The Caves of Chaos
Sounds like a free attack to me, Sham shoots another arrow, albeit I expect it to be with poor vision.
Attack with Shortbow: [1d20+1] = 3+1 = 4, Damage: [1d6] = 6

Re: Third Expedition - The Caves of Chaos
Clarification (and apologies for its necessity): the amount of flame and smoke is sufficient to fully obscure the other end of the tunnel. Any shots taken will be firing blind, with random targets...you can't see anything other than orange and black maelstrom down there.
(also, Lardo has not 'reappeared' in the sense that he is visible, but he has returned to your group and announced himself vocally.)

Having already cast his spell, the mage grips his staff in anticipation of hobgoblins coming his way.

Sometimes this summer I will most likely be participating in another 24 hour game of Dungeons & Dragons as part of Extra Life. This organization uses gaming to help raise money to donate to children's hospitals. I'm raising money for Marshfield Children's Hospital in Marshfield, WI, and all money I raise will go to that hospital. All donations are tax-deductible. Please take a moment to check out my donation page below. Thank you.

Re: Third Expedition - The Caves of Chaos
Lardo claps an invisible hand on his friend's shoulder and says, "All's well, Henry, at least until those hobs regroup."
OOC: Spartakos, can we get an updated map?

Cormac will take a pop shot with the crossbow if a target presents itself.
