Episode I Encounter 2: The Hangover

After defeating the hobgoblins inside the tavern, the party deals with city guards, and realizing  the city is still under attack decide to stick around and help out. The city guards leave to "find reinforcements" while the party discusses some tactics.

 They hear distant screams...which seem to be getting closer.

At Elix's suggestion Phineas tries to climb to a rooftop for an advantageous position, however he falls and hurts himself.

Suddenly a group of townspeople come running around the corner, screaming.

A giant ogre, yoked to a wagon lumbers around the corner, carrrying a flaming cask of pitch and swing his greatclub wildly with rage. Perched atop the wagon behind him are two hobgoblin bowmen.

The ogre hurls the flaming cask against the door of a shop right next to Phineas, who miraculously is unhurt when it explodes in flames.

Phineas responds by firing a bolt from his crossbow deep into the ogres chest, causing him to wince in pain. (Critical Hit)

Rilien casts pillar of fire, and fails...it fizzles out in a puff of smoke.

Buljin calls out to his deity, attempting to burn the ogre with divind light, but still epically drunk slurs his speech and nothing happens.....

Elix throws a dagger at the ogre, but the cheaply made dagger falls apart in mid air, falling harmlessly to the ground.

One hobgoblin bowman hands another flaming cask to the ogre.

The other fires an arrow at Buljin, it deflects off of his plate armor.

Phineas fires another crossbow bolt at the ogre, it bounces harmlessly off of its thick hide armor.

Rilien calls down an explosion of fire on the hobgoblin bowman, dazing the other hobgoblin and causing most of the casks in the wagon to explode. The ogre and both hobgoblins are miraculously unharmed.

Elix flips over the ogres shoulder stabbing him as he flies over, he swings wildly at the hobgoblins behind him, misssing them both.

One hobgoblin sits dazed in the flaming wagon. The other hobgoblin flees the wagon running north down the street.

The Ogre, now unyoked from the wagon charges forward and smashes Buljin with his great club, bloodying Buljin quite badly.

Phineas bravely charges the giant ogre and stabs him in the leg with his dagger.

Rilien casts orb of force at the ogre, who shrugs it off as if it were nothing.

Buljin smites the ogre, leaving a glowing mark of Olladra on its chest.

Elix wildly attacks the ogre, missing completely.

The bowman who fled down the road stops, turns and fires an arrow deep into Elixs shoulder.

The second hobgoblin, still dazed jumps out of the flaming wagon.

The ogre attempts to bullrush Buljin and push him out of the way, the angry dwarf stands his ground, forcing the ogre to try and squeeze around him.

Phineas stabs the ogre in the leg again.

Buljin again tries to call down the fury of his diety, still drunk however he again fumbles the words of his prayer.

Elix attacks the dazed hobgoblin, missing. Again.

The fleeing hobgoblin shoots another arrow into Elixs other shoulder.

The dazed hobgoblin, no longer dazed, draws his longsword and stabs Elix.

The ogre notices Rilien, charging him and bashing him to the ground with his club.

Phineas tries to sneak up behind the raging ogre, but kicks a tin can, then misses another attempt to stab the ogre with his dagger.

Rilien sends Kevin (his dragonling minion) to breath fire on the ogre while teleporting away to a more safe position.

Kevin defeats the ogre with his flame breath!!!! GO KEVIIN!

Buljin charges the hobgoblin wielding the longsword...smashing its head like a watermelon with is war maul.

Kevin munches on the ogre corpse

Episode I The First Encounter: Drunken Brawling at the Antler andThistle

Eberron has never been a safe place. Bastions of civilization populate a dark, menacing world—islands of order and reason exist in a land otherwise overrun by dark cults, vile monsters, creatures from the dark edges of the imagination, and worse. As deadly as the world is on a normal day, something has begun to stir on the fringes of the civilized town of Woodhelm. Formerly the site of an attack by an army known as the Red Hand, Woodhelm has known several years of peace since brave adventurers stormed into the teeth of the approaching Hand and sent them scurrying back into the darkness.But the peace of Khorvaire—and specifically, the town of Woodhelm, heart of the former conflict with the Red Hand—has been shattered. The vague shadow of unease the locals have been experiencing lately has crystallized in the form of an attack on the town itself. Now Woodhelm finds itself once more in need of brave heroes willing to come to the aid of their citizens.


It was a muggy evening at the Antler and Thistle.

Mathias was gambling with a rich half elf and another local in the corner. In town from the wilds to have a drink and a bath.

Elix and Phineas were lurking in a shadowy corner.
Elix was eyeballing the gambling table trying to decide if there was any money to be made.
Phineas was eyeballing a local wench, deciding if he thought she might tickle his toe hair.

Buljer was so drunk in the bathroom he couldn't figure out how to open the door.

Rilien was at the bar pestering the bartender about his mission to find a long lost elf.

After deciding there might be some easy money to be made Elix strides over to the table, throws 100 SP on the table and proclaims "prepare to lose some money bitches!"

Phineas walks over to the wench and somehow convinces her that he is extremely well endowed for a halfling, and offers to buy her a drink, she accepts his offer.

Buljer tries to bash down the bathroom door, he fails, everyone in the bar looks up curious about the loud ass noise.

Rilien is still hanging out at the bar chatting with his little dragon.

Buljer successfully bashed the bathroom door off of the hinges. The nicest bartender on the planet immediately forgives him and gives him a free drink.

Phineas askes the wench to go out back and do the nasty. She slaps his face.

Elix starts dealing from the bottom of the deck, which Mathias promptly notices.

The bartender takes pity on rejected Phineas and gives him a free shot. Phineas gives the shit to the wench, who after drinking it is drunk enough to forgive Phineas and make out with him at the back of the bar.

SUDDENLY THE FRONT DOOR IS SMASHED IN AND FOUR HOBGOBLINS CHARGE THROUGH!

Elix jumps up, backflips off of the gambling table spilling all the money on the floor (on purpose) lands on a table adjacent to the fire pit and throws a dagger into the face of the first hobgoblin... Dropping it dead.

Phineas scrambles over to the loose money on the floor quickly thieving it while firing his crossbow at the rope holding the chandelier.... Which misses completely lodging harmlessly into the ceiling.

Two of the hobgoblins rush in and ruthlessly murder two of the other tavern patrons.

Mathias charges one of the murdering hobgoblins and swings both his swords, cutting off both the hobgoblins arms in one swing. The hobgoblin flops to the ground spewing blackish blood everywhere.

FOUR MORE HOBGOBLINS CHARGE THROUGH THE DOOR!

The hobgoblin blackblade throws a torch at the bartender, who in a moment of uncharacteristic greatness catches the torch in midair.

Rilien cast a pillar of flame barely missing the group of hobgoblins.

Buljin charges the group of hobgoblins shouting "Moment of Glory" at the top of his lungs. He slams his maul into the ground and with a loud thunderclap the hobgoblins are flung away dazed.

Elix jumps off of the table swings on the chandelier, flips onto a table in front of a group of three goblins and slashes at them with his rapier. He drops one dead and wounds another. Then flips off of the table to land behind the group.

One of the tavern patrons swings wildly at a hobgoblin with us steak knife, succeeding only in stabbing himself in the thigh.

Phineas fires his crossbow into one hobgoblin, dropping it in its tracks then rolls between the legs of another ready to slash its throat from behind.

However before he gets a chance Mathias slashes it with both swords it howls in pain and squirms as it falls spraying blood across Mathias' grim face.

Rilien points towards a hobgoblin muttering archaic words of power his fist glowing... And it explodes....everywhere.

The bartender in a moment if sheer stupidity... Throws the torch back at the hobgoblins lighting the tavern on fire.

Buljin calls down the wrath of his god upon a hobgoblin.... It shrieks and withers under a blast of divine power.

MORE HOBGOBLINS BURST IN THROUGH THE BACK DOOR!

THE FIRE SPREADS RAPIDLY!


Elix hurls another dagger across the room dropping another hobgoblin.

Phineas makes his way towards the cash box behind the bar, firing another crossbow bolt into a hobgoblin as he jumps over the bar.

The bartender runs towards the back door.

Another tavern patron slams his steak knife into a hobgoblins eye, the hobgoblin squeals and slashes the man with his jagged axe.

Mathias throws his long swords at the hobgoblin with the knife in his eye, one misses and flies out the back door but the other long sword slams into the hobgoblins chest. The hobgoblin is still standing somehow.

Phineas steals all the money from behind the bar.

Everyone evacuates the burning tavern.

The City Guards show up.

Rilien calls out Phineas thievery to the city guards.

Elix intimidates the guards and reminds them they have more important things to worry about.
