Karl will also get in on the present-raiding.

But he keeps his ears open for any sound that we'll be back in the fight.

Re: (078) A Second Expedition

Right at the moment, Wetzel is nearest the pointy end, so his next move could be important...

Re: (078) A Second Expedition

Hesitating not a moment, Wetzel abandons the spear, turns, and flees back up the passageway toward the feasting hall and the rest of the party, holding his shield over his shoulder the best he can to guard against incoming missiles!
Very sorry about my absence. New job, new schedule, etc. Many apologies. :oops:

Don't worry Acodispo; if anyone is a little tardy here at the moment, it's me!

Re: (078) A Second Expedition

Wetzel turns and scampers back toward Zax, and not a moment too soon! As Zax tramps toward Wetzel, he spies a great hairy goblin burst into the passageway to look furiously about, immediately followed by several more.

"Guruzzeraaaagg!!" cries the loping giant, pointing violently at Wetzel, and beyond to Zax and The Herald behind him, and a crowd of angry goblins surge after Wetzel in pursuit!
The newly arrived non-players have a movement rate of 9", so they will make the doorway and about 60ft down the passage in their first move segment.

Meanwhile, Wetzel has a 30ft lead and movement rate of 9" so he'll reach Zax in the passage ahead of the goblins. 3" is officially the distance at which either side can be drawn into melee combat. Unless Zax joins Wetzel's retreat, the second move of the turn will be a combat segment.

What do Zax and Wetzel want to do: Stand and fight, or flee?

Meanwhile, back in the mess room, the majority of the company are preoccupied with fetching, packing, or unwrapping the black-wrapped gifts.

Brother Herald sees and hears what is happening with Wetzel and Zax down the long passage.

Re: (078) A Second Expedition

Goblins coming! says The Herald. Drop the presents and pick up your weapons!

The Herald stands to the side of the doorway and will brain the first goblin he sees with his mace.
