The note is, in fact, in goblin. BTW, this is round 5.

Noticing that Tiria cannot read the note, Larwick pulls it back and says a bit awkwardly, ""Ah, ya don' have a translayshun spell? Ne'evermin' 'at then.

Then he shouts out, "LAS' CALL! If nunya can read th' goblin's scrip', I'll jus' pocket this an' bring it back ta Smith la'er"

Walter was thoroughly following the erratic path of a butterfly with his finger, ready at a moment's notice to blast it from the sky should it prove to show sympathies toward the goblins up ahead. then he heard mention of a goblin language.

"Hey! The language of the little green people?" He abandoned the butterfly and strode back toward the note. "I'm a little green people, maybe I can read it."

He took a sniff and a gander at the paper.

Walter can in fact speak, and read goblin

Tiria turns her nose up at Walter and lets out a short huff before returning her focus to their surroundings. For those inclined to give it further thought it seems from her comment and behaviour that her aggression is not directed at either Larwick or Walter.

As angry and energised as she is, she manages to maintain her focus with the thought, "This one is with us and it is not really the goblins that were to blame, those vicious hobgoblins are the ones responsible for what happened."

OOC: Perception check for their surroundings.
09:52, Today: Tiria Nailo rolled 20 using 1d20+2 with rolls of 18.  Perception.

The man knows in a vague sense what a goblin is, though he has only seen one a little distance away once. He does not speak their language so he holds his position, and his tongue. There is some exclamation and clamor, but he merely glances that way briefly and then looks away once more.

He continues to watch and try to be ready for whatever else may be coming their way.

Passive Perception: 17
11:06, Today: Brohm of Clan Stonehelm rolled 11 using 1d20+7.  Perception.

The note said, [Language unknown: Omeesttinoer, stiterugh artnteare esthu witsheter ine ore p loli ouaretiv sankornot n dipe ic hales ol, liand onsurehasven butatiate ica we e aticomthu wh hiitno k Forshemen Is. Usnack anofel rateveart ainillard ng trsta neulse. Be virundthe prore was di onsbutwer prwe.   heringearore]

Walter twisted his head this way and that reading the note, trying to get the subtleties of the goblin language out of the hastily scribbled missive. "Hm..." He tried to put the message together in his head before trying to figure out how he should translate it.

"I mean, This guy Largath," Walter points to the end of the note. "He's using some words that mean both 'idiot' and 'mighty warrior' when talking about this guy," again Walter points at another place on the letter. "Narshagg." The name didn't mean much to Walter, but then again names could be a fleeting thing like his own was.

"Then it gets more difficult." Walter draws a deep breath. "I guess Largath wants Narshagg to come here, but in order to get him here he has to offer him something, in this case 'his brother's killer' who I'm guessing is either one of our party or someone inside the keep since he's talking about someone breaking a siege as well as fifty enemies between Nargash and revenge, but we're not breaking a siege, we're laying a siege, so either he's bluffing Nargash, or I've gotten some of the message wrong, in any case, Largath was supposed to get this message, and he's in the mountains," Walter gulps for air after the long-winded exposition.

After a few deep lungfuls, he suddenly remembers. "Oh yeah, Nargash is busy opening a door in the mountain."

Golun listened as Walter read out the note. "So, those inside seek assistance from allies elsewhere. We must be vigilant, both for messengers trying to get out and for reinforcements coming to their aid."

He looked over at the small green-skinned fellow. "Thank you for reading the note, your insight has proved helpful to our cause."

Talking over he went back to keeping watch, scanning the trees for anything amiss and the sky for any other messenger birds.

The man listens as the one called Walter not only reads the note but interprets it some as well it seems like. He notes away some of the information for potential later review. Some of it does not make sense, either due to his 'newness' or because the person is using inside information that the man isn't privy to. Or perhaps it is using a code of some sort.

But he takes the important piece to heart, that he should be wary, and should trust his instincts next time.

Shortly after the bird was downed you all spot three goblins bolt off from the gates opening. They each seem to be aiming towards three different directions, but all of them lead to get passed the squad.
Roll initiative please.

Do I use this from earlier or reroll?

In reply to Tiria Nailo (msg # 52):

I forgot you had already rolled yours. You can keep it.

Brohm waits patiently, concealed in his ambush spot till an enemy comes close enough for him to strike.



Holding action until an enemy is within striking distance, then attacking with surprise.

05:56, Today: Brohm of Clan Stonehelm rolled 5 using 1d20+2 with rolls of 3.  Initiative.

The man has been trying to watch both to and from the assault location, and is a little slower to notice the goblins attempting to escape and get help, he assumes.

10:18, Today: Ten rolled 5 using 1d20+3.  Initiative.

10:49, Today: Golun Fearstorm rolled 10 using 2d20, dropping the lowest dice only with rolls of 10,9.  Initiative (Adv/Vigilant Blessing).

Spying the Goblins moving through the trees, Golun pulled his arm back. In his hand was one of the Magic Stones he had prepared. In a blur he whipped his arm forward in an arc he released the stone at the nearest one. It flew true through the air, striking the Goblin straight in the face. With a yelp it crumpled, its skull smashed in, spraying blood into the air.

Grimly he looked around and prepared to throw at another.

Golun Fearstorm
Initiative - 10
AC - 21
HP - 20 / 20
Spells slots remaining - lvl1 - 3

Action - Throw Magic Stone at Goblin E3, CRIT for 17hp damage, assuming that is a kill. Please feel free to edit if I have gotten it wrong as it is a spell, not a normal missile attack (might be just 11hp damage).

10:52, Today: Golun Fearstorm rolled 25 using 1d20+5.  Throw Magic Stone at Goblin E3.

Walter barely registered the sudden commotion of approaching enemies. He looked up from the note and a look of surprise was clear on his face. he managed to move behind a tree and looked in the direction of the approaching foes trying to pick a target.

Initiative: 18:38, Today: Walter rolled 13 using 1d20+2.  Initiative.

Larwick isn't feeling himself, all of a sudden.

22:19, Today: Conspirator, on behalf of Larwick, rolled 4 using 1d20.  initiative.

The elven mage bursts into movement at the approach of the enemy, rushing close into melee range with an arcane thrum of sound from her whirling blade that threatens to crack the air with a rise in air pressure not unlike the roll of thunder.

ACTION AS ABOVE

Walter gawked at the sight of Tiria launching into her spectacular flowing style of fighting.
Almost as an afterthought, he meandered to the other side of the tree had been hiding behind and gave another goblin a finger-gun. "pew-pew"

A beam of purple energy streaked across the expanse, but probably due to the lack of attention on the little green man's part, it flew wide.

Move: to E14
Action: Eldricht Blast at E3
17:18, Today: Walter rolled 7,5 using 1d20+5,1d10.  Eldricht Blast atk/dmg
