Raichel says, "I won't kill you." BAMPF! The goblin spins several times before falling and crumpling in a heap. Raichel then heads over for cover behind the nearby stalagmite.

  Ben trudges through the shallow waters behind one of the rocks, preparing to shoot at Klarg if he does more than just yell.

OOC: So yeah, pre-roll on the readied action was a 10. welp.  Can readjust for same results but different spot of the unlabeled sections of map are actually deep water or some other problem.

Meiou steels himself as he moves ahead towards where the voice
had come from. He looks towards the stoney steps and calls out
You can either surrender now or I will show you just what we can do. I really reccomend the former option to be honest. he readies his shot
a look of unwavering fury towards the bugbear showing on his
face. He was beginning to sympathize with the goblins. He was sure
to the bugbear they were just there to do what he didn't want to do.
This reminded Meiou too much of his own past. he was shaking abit
with said fury. This being the first time the party had seen
the normally timidish rabbit be so fierce.

(intimidation roll of 6. damn i was hoping to at least spook the bugger :p other than that action is held till he attacks )

Klarg roars in rage and releases his wolf!  "Double cut for the first kill!"

The two goblins with him cheer.  "Woohoo!" "That loot is mine!"

They rush down the stairs firing at Mieu as they go, but their shots glance off his scale mail!  They grumble in frustration.  Then Klarg comes leaping toward Mieu and swings with his morningstar!  But this attack also glances off the armor with a resounding smash!

Mittens charges in and bonks one of the goblins!  "Hey idiots!  Wanna guess how we got this far without so much as a scratch?!  Your guards were no match!"

She jams her sword into Klarg's back, but his thick armor soaks the attack!

(( Bri'kus and Darcy can take their turns.  Then the wolf will attack.  Or late Tuesday night.  Whichever comes first.  Again, if a player gets skipped, they can re-enter the initiative when they return from RL. ))

Bri'kus moves next to Mittens and with a deft hand and keen eye, finds a weak spot in Klarg's armor. He takes the opportunity to shank the creature with a quick and powerful jab, causing the Goblin boss to shout in surprise and pain.
Bri'kus quickly realizes that this is the last turn he will probably be conscious.

(Crit on Attack for 17 Damage)

"Oh, this is just great," Darcy says as her arrow wizzes past. (Attack Roll of 10)

Can't ready a Minor Action Spell once that she attacked, but...

She then slips the bow over her shoulder and prepares to begin healing once her turn comes up again.

Ripper enters the room with a wild bark then lives up to his name.  Leaping up, he takes hold of Mittens' neck with his jaw and savages it!  Miraculously, she's still standing.

(( Oh no!  Mittens at 2 HP!  Raichel, Meiou, and Ben are up!  Again, I'll wait 48hrs before moving on to the next set of monsters.  So happy to see this combat moving along at a decent pace for a forum game! ))

"MITTENS!" Raichel's adrenaline is pumping. She wants so desperately to be at her sister's side, but knows to leave room for the cleric to do her thing.

She heads over to Klarg and bops him decent. Not as severe as the damage done by Bri'kus. And sadly, Klarg is still standing.

Raichel gives Klarg a glare. The kind that communicates she isn't afraid, but rather that she is angry beyond any fear. She will not back down. With a growl in her voice, but a surprisingly calm tone, Raichel says, "Back off her or I will make sure you live to regret it for a very long time."

Hit, Miss, 6 damage.
Intimidation roll 17

  It's another near fizzle of an Eldrtich blast, though fortunately one of the goblins was already rather roughed up as it was.  So the bolt of force awkwardly lands on their foot and blows off their favorite toe.

  "AAAAIGH! That was my favorite toe!" see? They are so broken up about it (and the bleeding) they crumple into a ball and start crying.

  OOC: a sad 13 hit roll is still not as sad as having a 12 AC.  Good job not killing them totally on purpose, Ben.  You now it's legit because the GM okayed their dismay.

Meiou noticing Klargs intent to go after Mitts now uses the chance
to disengage from melee range and jumps back onto a rock in the water behind
them prepping his rifle for a shot.

Let's see.  Target the scary catgirl who punched you?  Or the quiet little kobold who shish kabob'd you?  Priorities!  With an angry snarl, Klarg smashes poor Bri'kus and the kobold collapses in a heap!

"Klarg will savor your roasted flesh over the campfire!"

(( Bri'kus was dropped to 0 HP exactly.  But assuming Darcy chooses to heal him instead of Mittens, he'll be fine and won't have to roll death save throws. ))

What Mittens imagined would happen is cracking Klarg's skull with her hammer while stabbing the wolf with her sword.  What actually happens is her hammer bouncing off Klarg's armor harmlessly.  At least she breaks free from the wolf's jaws.

"I'm fine.  Just a scratch.  Help Bri'kus first, please."

(( Mittens regains 8 HP using her second wind fighter class feature.  She now has 10 total.))

Moving the post to here and changing the target!

"I got it!" Darcy said as she flinged out a ball of healing magic across the air, when it connected with Bri'kus, the wounds on him knitted back together.

Darcy casts Healing Word on Bri'kus and Heals for 7 HP.  Bri'kus should be at 7 HP now.

She then decided to send another arrow toward Klarg.  Attacks with an 18 for 3 Piercing Damage

Bri'kus cried out as Klarg sent him crumpling to the ground, but he had already expected that coming.

After Darcy heals him up, Bri'kus jumps to his feet and takes that moment to put his rapier squarely into Klarg's gut with as much ferocity as the tiny lizard can muster to finish him off.

Bri'kus no like bullies! Bri'kus no like being knocked out by Goblins!

(22 to hit, 7 damage)

Klarg staggers back and collapses into the water.  Meanwhile, the wolf leaps up again to grab hold of Mittens' throat again, but this time she's ready and dodges the attack!

(( Rai, Ben, and Meiou's turns. ))

Meiou lowers his rifle and calls out to the wolf near mitts attempting to calm it
so as to not have to hurt it.
Easy fella. We don't want to hurt you. Were gonna help you get out here. We just wanted to stop Klarg from stealing and hurting people. "

(animal handling roll of 22 )

Ripper takes notice of Meiou's coaxing.  He shifts his weight from his front paws to his back paws, ducks his tail, ears, and head.

(( Ripper is now essentially a non-combatant.  Should he be attacked, he'll defend himself, but he will not attack anyone not actively trying to harm him. ))

  "I much prefer not having to deal with violent animals in the first place, so thank you Meiou." Ben proceeds to accomplish nothing but lightly singeing an ear of the remaining goblin standing.

OOC: Welp, 10 misses.

Raichel can barely believe her eyes. First, Mittens shrugs off near-dying. Then, Darcy causes the humble Bri'kus rise up like a phoenix and kill the boss. Then Meiou up and gets the seemingly un-tameable dog to back down. She doesn't let it stop her from charging the remaining goblin. He ducks her first swing, only for her to suddenly slam the staff downward on him, knocking the goblin out. "Amazing work, everyone! And you didn't tell me you had magic, Meiou! Whatever magic you're working to make abused animals no longer attack us, keep it up!"

Mittens faces Ripper, ready to fight back should the wolf attack. But Ripper shuffles backwards, returning to the room he came from.

Mits relaxes her guard and exhales. "Whew! Nice!"

She begins to bandage her own wound, doing a sloppy job of it.  "Well if there's any good loot to be had, Klarg's room would be where to look. So... Think you can put Ripper on a leash, Meiou?"

Darcy breathed a sigh of relief as she saw Bri get back up to pull Victory out of apparent Death, followed by the taming of the would-be-killer's could-ve-been pet.  "Is that everyone?" she says.  "That encounter was a bit hairy."  She then looked around to remind herself who she's with.  "No Offense."

He nodded and took out some rope from his pack before going off to find
ripper. He would carefully approach him and fashion a lead with the rope
and attach it to the wolf while trying to pet him and reassure him all
was ok.

  In hindsight, Ben feels it would be overly nitpicky even for him to point out to Brikus that it was a Bugbear that knocked him out, not a goblin.

  "I really hope the wolf has more common sense than those who own it.  It behaved itself this far, but I'm understandably nervous with Meiou getting closer to sharp teeth rather than farther."
