The rabbit hearing that and figuring possible ambush
opened a pouch on his left side and took out a glowing crystal
while swinging the gun that was on his back around to his front.
He opened the chamber and put the crystal inside carefully.
He closed the lid and twisted it as he hopped out of the wagon
sneaking off below a nearby tree as his weapon powered on.
He carefully looked around as he noticed nothing popped out.
"Well that's a good sign.I hope anyway" he whispered to himself.

Mittens steps forward, making herself an obvious target for any ambush.  Though she's ready to move out of the way should things get dangerous.  She's got her hands raised, though with one she's still holding her crossbow just in case.

"Hello, noble goblins!  My name is Mittens!  As you can see, I mean you no harm.  May I ask, do you know what happened here?"

(Persuasion 15)

The goblin Raichel spotted earlier answers, "We ordered to get stuff for boss.  You have stuff!  Give it to us, you not get hurt!"

"Well that's very straightforward," Mits mutters.

  Ben grasps his shield and steps mostly, but not all the way, around the horses.  Look they are more sturdy cover than a bush, alright?

  "Wouldn't it be easier if you made us deliver the wagon to your boss for you?" Blake isn't really expecting that to work, but it might get the goblins arguing for an extra five minutes, or something.

OOC: Persuasion 16, that's much better than a 4! Readied action for dinky little lv 1 E blast if the goblins attack.

"..."

The goblins are silent for a moment.  Then start giggling among themselves.

"Yes!  You do that!"

"Stupid people."

"You give us your weapons first!"

(( Darc's turn. ))

Darcy hops off the wagon so that she can get within range, and casts Bless:

Mittens, Meiou, and Raichel each can add 1d4 on every attack roll or saving throw during the following Minute, as long as Darcy keeps concentration.

She then uses the rest of her movement to hunker down.

Turn Over

The goblins see the blonde human saying her prayers and giggle some more.

"You pile weapons next to dead horses.  Then you go back to wagon and wait."

(( Rai's turn.  At this point the goblins have let their guard down and are no longer hidden.  Though they do have 1/2 cover, AKA +2 to AC.  The first person to attack will have advantage. ))

Raichel zips off, making no sound, graceful like the kitty she is! Seemingly effortlessly, Raichel makes her way almost completely up to the goblin she spotted earlier, but uses the tree she is next to as cover in order to remain hidden before the reverse-ambush is sprung. Or until Raichel gets impatient and attacks.

(Stealth roll: 24 total. Double-move.)

Meiou carefully and silent moves from under one tree to another
keeping sight of the goblins. Still not being noticed he took his
rifle up and took careful aim at the goblin Raichel had gotten near.
After lining up the shot he fired as soon the goblin had a nice hole
going clean through his head that still sizzled. That was one down
and the more were surely to follow soon enough.

Meiou's rifle makes a glorious laser sound!

The goblins shriek in shock and anger at the sudden but inevitable betrayal!  Two advance and shoot at Mittens, but she dodges both their attacks!

Mits rushes forward, slicing and hammering the nearest goblin, almost but not quite killing it!

"Stupid goblins!  Not giving anyone my weapons!  You better drop yours if you want to survive!"

(( OOC: Whiff, whiff.  Grr!  So I spent an inspiration to make it hit.  IDK if you're supposed to get one starting out, but even if not I'd grant one to Mits for approaching the goblins out in the open.  Also, Meiou earns one for drawing 1st blood.  Nice shot!  Expect to earn an inspiration every time you make the DM smile.  ;-)

Ben's turn. ))

  Ben feels this is probably for the best, the goblins may not have been stupid enough to consider handing over his spare club 'giving up his weapons'.

  Now, the closest goblin is nearly dead.  Ben would need to have some spectacularly terrible luck for his cantrip to fail to finish it off…  Right, Hex insurance it is!

  Thanks to the wonders of burning your singular spell slot (It's short rest, you big baby) on buff spells, Ben fires the most awkward and wiggly Eldritch blast anyone has probably ever seen as it sputters and then drops out of the air to land on the goblin's foot.

  Which makes it all the more surprising when the goblin drops dead.

OOC: Mostly dead Goblin now 100% dead. Under the hood was-
A: barely roll enough to hit.  B: Roll literally 1 damage against a 2 HP target. C: GM graciously offer incidental damage.  D: Rolled a 19 on the Die for "Persuasion, that was enough to kill you. Honest."  E: Screw it, was Cast.

"N..never!" the nervous goblins shriek!

Two of them rush Mittens!  She blocks one of them, but the other gashes her arm deep with his scimitar!  Mits yelps in pain!

(( Ben earns an inspiration for that post!  LOL!  XD ))

Darcy moved up as much as she can, knocks an arrow, and lets fly.  Unfortunately, the arrow goes over everyone's heads.  Swallowing a cross word, she uses the rest of her magical energy to send healing energy over to Mittens.

Fires an Arrow (19 in quiver remaining). Misses with a 10. Casts Healing Word to Mittens and heals her for 10 HP.  Out of Spell Slots.

Another goblin steps forward and takes a shot at Mittens!  At least we think so.  It flies past her and sticks into a tree.

"Blipvert!" the goblin curses.

Raichel decides not to blow Meiou's cover and holds compliments for her team for after the fight. But she does come out of hiding herself. She rushes out, grabs the goblin by the face, slams the goblin's head into the ground knocking him unconscious, and then using that same hand planted on the goblin's face to do a handstand forward-flip, lands next to the one goblin nobody is adjacent to. She says in a stern tone, "Never is a very long time. You might want to reconsider your words."

Meiou took aim one more time concentrating on the goblin near
Mittens wanting to help her out if he could. He fired but the recoil
jostled him abit more than usual and caused the aim to go off some
just barely managing to hit the goblin he was shooting at. He sighs
in relief watching it hit the ground dead. He really needed
to pay attention to the recoil next time as he let the weapon charge for
the next attack.

Mittens breaths a sigh of relief.

"Whew!  Thanks a million, Darc!"

She swings at the last goblin next to her and gashes it across the chest, nearly killing it!

"Ack!" it shrieks.

  Ben steps out into the open (you were good cover, horsey) for a better firing angle.  The caster shuffles the lingering Hex from his last target over to the Goblin beside Raichel, points his staff, and fires.

  It's another wobbly wonder puttering across the battlefield.

  "Hah! Stupid wizard can't cast-" The bolt zips forward into the goblins mouth, then tears it's head free from it's body, which is now only able to do the 'point' part of 'point and laugh' before falling over.

  "I am clearly out of practice, but shooting bandits is kind of an ingrained life skill by now."

OOC: E blast+Hex, things go much better this time around.

The last remaining goblin takes one last spiteful jab at Mittens, stabbing her right in the gut!  The chain armor stops the blade, but that's going to leave quite the bruise.

"Diediedie!" it screams!

It then turns to flee to the north...

Darcy sees that she can finish the goblin, she lets another arrow fly.  This time it connects with the Goblin's head, sending it flying away from Mittens.  "Whoops!" she says.

Fires another Arrow, 18 Arrows remaining, 1 recoverable.  Hits with a 21 delivering 7 points of damage.

Congratulations!  The team is now 60/300 of the way to level 2!

Raichel watches another goblin die before she can even throw a punch at it. She looks around and sees all but the goblin she took out is dead. Raichel heads over to the one she took out and begins tying it up. "Good job, everyone. Honestly, this is my first time seeing a full team in action. Until now, Ben, Mitts and I have been handling much simpler things... it was scary to see you get that hurt, Mittens, but... clerics really are everything people say they are. Aside from the tear in your clothing, nobody would know you had been gashed. Thanks, Darcy."

Raichel looks towards Meiou. "Glad I dragged you along to test out that amazing weapon of yours on some evil bandits?"

The rabbit didn't look like he was listening as he
fiddled with his weapon as it seemed to loose its glow.
His ears on the other hand looked as if they heard every
word despite he himself not looking it. " A little. Though
I need more data before really calling this a success."

  Somewhere, a mercenary is pleased at Meiou's obsessive post combat shootey implement examination.

  "If that counts for whoops Darcy, are you using a shortbow to give yourself a challenge?" No Ben, it's because Life clerics don't have Longbow proficiency, duh.

"Well," Darcy said, "I might not be perfect with the Shortbow, but since I eschewed an attack cantrip, I found that I practiced with this baby a lot."  She turned to Rai and said, "You're welcome, but it appears that this combat has spent all of my spell energy.  It's something I feared would happen when I start off."
