Hollen moves up with the others, attempting to be quiet himself. Unsure of how many other goblins may be in this cavern.

Korkas looked where the wooden palisade crossed the creek, curious if be climbed into the water if he could approach unaware to the goblins by using the creek. He couldn't swim but the water didn't look that deep...

As Korkas checks the wooden timbers, they do not go down into the water of the creek, so it does look like its possible to wade into the water and under the wooden timbers, through the creek. And for a Dwarf it would be easier due to their size.

Althiof though moves up ahead and through the opening in the timbers and gets a better view of the cavern ahead. The Goblins on the other side of the wall obviously didn't hear the movement by the Dwarf and are caught off guard as he comes through the timbered entrance. They knew the party was nearby but didn't think they had made it this far down yet. The rest of the group moves ahead as well. Trying to keep distance between each other as to not get hit by incoming flying potions.

Althiof is able to see that the cavern opens up father large, and some of it is still hidden from his view as another turn happens. The walls of the massive cavern are scrawled with more graffiti showing the dark face of Khurgorbaeyag, and bloody axes. The creek opens into a larger pool of water which is black and stagnant. Across the pool of water a large black rock juts from the pool, it looks to have been chiseled down to look like the head of a goblin. Two red gemstones glint from the lantern light, reflecting and giving it a very eerie appearance.

To the North of the cavern it opens into another area across the small creek. You can see a set of rusted bars making what looks to be a holding cell of some sort. Two Goblins stand guard near the entrance. You can see someone bound with a cover over their head inside the small area, they are the source of the moaning sounds. Two more goblins near the south wall of timbers also stand guard.

Althiof you are able to surprise the Goblins when you come through the entrance.

The surprising group receives one round of attacks with melee, missile, or magical items. They cannot use these moments of surprise to cast spells. The second effect of surprise is that the surprised characters lose all AC bonuses for high Dexterity during that instant of surprise. The surprised characters are dumbfounded by the attack. Instead of ducking and countering, they're just standing there rather flat-footed. Since they don't grasp the situation, they cannot avoid the hazards and dangers very well.

We are in combat movement still. Each of you can do a surprise action, including movement.

While the dwarf was not surprised, he must almost have been, because his arrows lose good aim.


Althiof Morad rolled 9 using 1d20+2 with rolls of 7.  to hit, arrow at goblin (V10).

Althiof Morad rolled 8 using 1d20+2 with rolls of 6.  to hit, arrow at goblin (V10).

Virius followed as the dwarves and warriors made their way past the palisade.  His pulse thundered in his ears.  They had caught the goblins unawares, and they had indeed taken a prisoner.  Alive, no less!

To the dwarves, Virius shouted encouragement.  "Press on, lads!  I will see to these base thugs!"

Hollen moves up into the cavern, his sword drawn, he swings it at the first goblin he sees, the swing connects, and Hollen chops a deep gash across the goblins chest, it falling to the ground dead.

Move to U10, swing at Goblin w/ Longsword. Hit AC 1, Damage: 6

Ali you have another chance to break out of your restraints. You manage to struggle but the restraints just pull tighter, You are able to pull down the burlap sack though, so you can see the battle happening outside the caged area across the small bridge. You notice a Dwarf move into the area and try and shoot two arrows at one of the goblins, and then a Ranger come in and slash the goblin across the chest, killing it.

Kossoth, Stormrider, Yaotl, Korkas feel free to do your surprise actions and move further into the Cavern.

Korkas rushes forward to the goblins standing outside the barred gate (R6) and drives his lead dagger forward towards the goblin (R5) and then as he draws the attention away his secondary hand brings another dagger into the bowls of the goblin, spilling what it had eaten earlier upon the cavern floor.

OOC: Move half movement 30 feet (6 squares) to R6. And then attack gobo at R5


13:23, Today: Secret Roll: Korkas Stonedelver rolled 20,7 using D20+1,d4+4 with rolls of 19,3.  Secondary Hand R5.

13:23, Today: Secret Roll: Korkas Stonedelver rolled 9,8 using D20+3,d4+4 with rolls of 6,4.  Prime Hand gobo R5.

The bowels of the goblin spill out across the ground after the knife attack. The goblin next to Korkas shocked at the swift display of prowess of the Dwarf.

Kossoth, Stormrider, Yaotl, feel free to do your surprise actions and move further into the Cavern.

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 117):

Ali yells - "Go get em boys!!" and scoots to a bit of cover now that he can see.

Storm moves to V9. He attacks the goblin.

Ooc: rolls 9 for attack

Stormrider misses with his attack, as the Goblin swiftly dodges the attack.

Kossoth, Yaotl, feel free to do your surprise actions and move further into the Cavern.

Yaotl moves to T10 and hurls a pitiable stone at the goblin (Q7), after seeing that the larger threat of a group is mostly carved away by this point.
Attack roll 14.

Yaotl moves up and slings a stone with her Sling-Staff and manages to hit with the stone, and does damage, but not enough to kill the goblin.

You hit, and did 4 damage, not enough to kill it though.

GM Posting as Kossoth to move him along.

Kossoth moves up with V8 and attacks the Goblin with his double spear. Kossoth misses with his spear.

I had intended to move forward next to the bars to avoid putting my back to the water but forgot to originally post it. Got focused on my rolls and it was late on mobile.

The warriors had the melee well in hand.  The wizard knew however, that that could change in an instant.  He advanced a bit further into the cavern, and kept an eye out for reinforcements.

Storm attacks again

Ooc rolls 6 initiative 7 attack

The locksmith dashed to Q5 and attempted to unlock the enclosure to get to the prisoner.


Althiof Morad rolled 6 using 1d100 with rolls of 6.  open locks.

With everyone having gone on the surprise round, now the remaining Goblins are prepared for the fight.

Althiof rushes over and starts with the locks on the gate. Once closer he can make out the trapped individual inside, A tall lanky male dressed in a faded blue cloak covering his head and face some, blue short and blue pants in soft traveling boots. A burlap sack lays next to him, and his mouth is gagged, he is trying to free himself from his binds but its not looking like its working. Althiof you will successfully pick the Quality lock without messing it up, but wont finish until your turn next Round. Korkas goes and swings with his knives again, both attacks miss the goblin. Stormrider tries to attack the Goblin to the south and also misses, the shifty little fellow manages to avoid the attack. Virius moves further into the Cavern to get a better look around. His human sight though isn't enough to pierce the darkness further south. The Lantern light only extending so far. Hollen moves up to V7 and attacks the goblin. Hollen manages to trip himself up with the attack against the goblin, and falls to the ground having slipped on some of the slippery rocks near the water. (Fumble, looses next Turn.)

The Goblins attack, The one to the north attacks Korkas with its shortsword. The shortsword bites into the Dwarf and causes a nasty wound. Korkas you take 5 damage. The Goblin to the south, with three warriors trying to attack it, passes his morale, and swings on, targeting Kossoth with his shortsword. The attack misses entirely the Dervish easily sidestepping it.

Kossoth retaliates with a swift jab of his double spear. The Goblin is hit and the attack brings the goblin to the ground. Yaotl unleashes her Sling stone from her staff, the stone flies towards the Goblin in Melee with Korkas and strikes the wall behind it, missing its target. Ali the captive spends his time trying to break out of the bindings but fails yet again.

12:13, Today: Dungeon Master rolled 1 using 1d10 ((1)). Althiof You gain a Quality Lock
