Yana fired her bow at the bugbear, hoping to cut off the snake's proverbial head, or at least weaken morale.
"There are more goblins to the south, as well.  Stand ready, Everyone!"

Looks like we found the bugbear.

The ugly creature issued a challenge, answered by Solgran's blade, as a even louder voice erupted from nowhere, mocking the previous challenge. Everybody was scrambling for positioning as Klarg released two wolves on the group. She moved forward to intercept one, trusting her shield and armor to protect her, before it reached the less hardy members in the back. Goblins came out from behind crates of supply, lifting their weapons menacingly and she did a small smile as she started her incantation.

Amalia
Initiative : 7
Move : offer herself as a target for a wolf, to protect the backline.

As the flames grew, seeing the wolves accompanying Klarg, Malice took aim at one of the animals. However, as she released the arrow, Klarg also released the wolves, the creature she was aiming for moving forward out of the way of her arrow. Moving forward to stand next to Amalia, she dropped the bow at her feet and pulled the shortsword once again.

Snoric having already seen some of the goblins in their 'hiding' positions was already in motion, moving to use the narrowing of this particular cavern's entrance to provide himself with some cover.  Seeing the 'sword-wavy types' had gone after the Klarg fellow and his dogs, Snoric took aim on the nearest goblin that wasn't otherwise dear on controlled and opened fire with his pistol.

ROUND 1

---

Chaos erupts as people, seemingly on edge react. Klarg dropped the chains holding the wolves, one springing at amalia, the other Solgren, barreling in. The one against Solgren snapped at the warrior, missing him, the barbarian so focused on the bugbear that he swatted the wolf like a cub. The wolf against the cleric bit in and hit her metal arm guard, scratching the metal, but causing minimal damage to the woman as the wolf knocks her over <Amalia takes 4 hp Piercing damage and is prone> .

Osmon, clearly on edge barely noticed his familiar fly overhead on silent wings as he stepped forward, aiming a simple spell at one of the goblins to the east. The fiery mote struck the goblin in the chest. The goblin, lining up a shot against the newest member of the group. It quickly forgot as the fiery bolt slammed against it, slamming it's back against rock, the goblin sliding down gasping.

Allura muttered in the forbidden language, pointing at the wolf that Solgran ignored, shadows seemingly to cling to the wolf. It obviously felt it because let out a small whimper. The whimper didn't last long as a bolt of eldrich energy flew from the woman, slamming the wolf and burning a hole in the wolf's throat.

Klarg smiled as he stepped up to the warrior, his frame matching that of the barbarian. The bugbear swung his massive morningstar towards Solgren, the warrior not even trying to move in his enraged state. The solid hit on him was devastating on his shoulder, but the warrior barley registered, and the hit, though solid, seemed to hurt him less than he expected. <Solgren takes 8 piercing damage reduced to 4 due to raging>


As the shot hits, the bugbear roars in pain as an arrow pierces it's chest, it's eyes glaring at Yana, the source of the shot.

as the one shot at the bugbear came, the goblins seemed to move in unision. Five of the ten goblins drew bows and fired. Two shots aimed at Malice missed her without her even noticing. One shot at snoric barelt missed his head, but both yana and Yulin got hit, Yulin in the arm <Yulin Takes 3 Piercing damage> and Yana in the stomach <Yana takes 6 Piercing damage> The rest melee fighters moved up, two against Allura, one yana, one snoric and one on the flank of Solgren. Most had short swords, but two had spears (one against Solgren, one Allura). All of them, clearly intimidated by the group, attacked none the less and of them, the one against Allura with the spear hit her in the shoulder <Allura took 7 piercing damage>

Solgran, full of rage and seeing only Klarg and his grin, swung his own sword, and though hit it, it failed to damage him through his sturdy padded hide armor. As he swung, Malice fired her bow at the wolf astride Amalia, missing the wolf. With a grimace, she dropped the shortbow and approached with short sword in hand

Yulin, in pain, looked at the wounded goblin and smiled. "You have it easy - your brethren will die a painful death that will haunt their ancestors." The goblin, clearly shaken, stopped holding his wound as he bled out

The cleric managed to push the wolf back as she stood up, feeling bruised, but not seriously damaged by the attack. She however drew her gaze south towards the goblins and she summoned the magic, dropping two archers to the ground.

Snoric, seeing the archers as a threat, took out his weapon and took aim as he had cover. The sound caused most people to jump as it echoed through the cave, other than snoric.

...and the goblin who he killed.





<OOC: Round one complete. Some people were hit so take note of HP and temp HP. Temp HP will last another 5 rounds (30 seconds)

Allura - your hex spell is still currently on the dead wolf, so you can move that. Anyone hit after their move who have concentration (Allura with Hex, etc) need to make a concentration check dc 10 to maintain concentration

Solgran, your next attack has advantage due to the familiars using the help ability

Allura, you still have a 1d6 inspiration

The two with the yellow Hex are asleep.

Solgran took the bugbear's blow as though it had come from a child, "Klarg is weak. Maybe Yeemik will lead the goblins who choose to surrender, when Klarg is dead." Solgran used his words to keep Klarg's attention while the owl had come up behind to provide a distraction. Solgran sought to take advantage of the opening he had, but Klarg's armor proved up to the task this time.

Allura spins smiling even as the spear strikes her. She feels the concentrations she had on her hex flickering out which frees up her mind some.

"Come to sacrifice yourselves so willingly ? Such good soldiers you will be after your torture in the nine."

She brings her blade to bare now blue flames flickering as she calls upon her patron.

"Your next!" She says to the one she merely scorched with the blue flames.

Allura seeming almost exultant.




Lost her concentration on the hex 9 on that.

Allura could hear Solgran's words and her sister's painful grunt.

"I want him alive Solgran."

Allura held her shield up glancing over it towards her sister to make sure she was still up.

With the wolf distracted, its focus on Amalia, it was easy for Malice to strike the creature. It was a clean-cut, but not enough to fell the beast. She hoped to draw the attention away from Amalia until the beast was slain.

Was it bravery or foolishness that had the young cleric walk in the path of a wolf? She didn't have time to ponder the question as the beast, almost as heavy as she was, bit her and made her fall down.

Thank you Selune.

The blessing she had never used in combat before worked as intended and the wolf's teeth bit into thin air, as the magical toughness provided all she needed to avoid an injury. Fending the snarling lupine with her raised shield, she managed to put her legs underneath her and rose, just as Malice stabbed the beast. A little flustered, she quickly casted her spell to hopefully end this fight, as Ophelia moved again to distract Klarg.

ROUND 2

---

The wolf facing Amalia snarls as it looks at her, lunging but only hitting the edge of the shield, momentarily holding on then jumping back.

Osmon, seeing the goblins moving up, releases a gout of flame at the closest one, harasing Snoric, the fire blasting it in the side.

Allura, spinning with a smile, swiftly swings her sword, now glowing with green flames. While the sword lops off the goblins head, the fire arcs to the second one with a look of shock.

Klarg, facing of against Solgren seemed less sure of himself, the strike previous barely even wounding him, again swung his morningstar, but Solgren, seeing the obvious shot, sidestepped it with ease.

Yana, having been hit by the goblin, moved back several steps with a slight jump and crouch, decided that the goblin attacking her was more a threat than the hobgoblin facing off the seemingly invincible Solgren, as she again fired, the arrow narrowly missing the attacker.

The goblins, likewise a little intimidated at the party and their skills, none the less attacked. The two standing archers fired, one at Malaice and the other Allura, missed their targets, with arrows flying past. The goblins likewise facing Yana and Snoric both badly missed their targets, and while the one standing with green flames hit the tiefling, it barely registered <Allura takes 3 slashing damage> and the one against Solgren cuts his leg without a flinch <Solgren takes 4 slashing damage, reduced to 2 due to raging>

Solgren, still seeing red as he faced off against the bugbear, didn't even see the goblin as he swung his sword, again the sword bouncing off armor. Malice, helping the cleric with the wolf, saw an opening and lunged in, the sword piercing flesh as the wolf whimpered, pawing as it hesitated, clearly fear in it's eyes.

Yulin saw the whimpering dog and pouted. "Poor puppy needs to go back to it's litter." The words seemed to register on some level as it again pawed at the ground, knocking its hind quarter against the rock.

That hesitation was all Amalia needed as she called to her goddess.  The wolf heard the bells toll, driving it crazy, and sturning rapidly, knocked its head so hard on the rock, snapped it's own neck.

Snoric, from his cover, aimed his weapon again at the closest goblin and fired, missing.



<OOC: Round two is done. One goblin down and one wolf down, which brings the total of the two wolves down, four goblins down (dead), two sleeping and two hurt, plus Klarg pretty hurt too

Next round>

Solgran continued to prod Klarg's ego while he waited for the owl's distraction, "Klarg is weak. His goblins are weaker for following him." Then struck when the timing was right, taking a powerful swing at the bugbear's torso.

Action: Greatsword Attack (rage, advantage), crits AC 25 for 20 slashing damage

Yana, holding her bow in her off hand, quickly drew her rapier and struck out at the goblin near her, then pulled back out of range.

OOC:
02:16, Today: Yana Whitlock rolled 10 using 1d8+3.  damage.
02:15, Today: Yana Whitlock rolled 13 using 1d20+5.  rapier.

Snoric started to panic a little as the goblin approached him.  His loading and aiming got more jittery.  Today was the first time he'd killed anything with this weapon and now the creature was coming straight at him.  His hand shook as he fired his weapon, even as the smoke clear he knew in his heart he'd missed.

Attack: 10
Damage: 3

Allura looked around seeing the way the battle was going and seeing the fear and doubt on the goblins faces. She still had her booming voice from her thaumaturgy going.

"Look around you fools, your people are falling, your leader has dropped, and I laugh at your pathetic attempts to hurt me. Look to Klarg I am not without mercy. Drop your weapons throw them down now and surrender and you shall be spared but do not give away this chance or you will join your brethren who hangs at my belt." Her voice echoing around the chamber. She swings her blade letting the blue flames illuminate the goblin head she tied to her belt earlier.

"Make your choice, one is life, the other is your deaths."

She will take the Dodge action this turn in case they refuse to surrender and do attack.

Hearing Allura's words, Malice walked up to Solgren and waited. Posed, ready to strike should the goblin near Solgren and Klarg not listen to the suggestion of surrender.

Seeing the wolf snap its own neck to escape the torment of the dead toll almost made Amalia sick again. But before she could really comprehend the implications, Allura's voice, amplified by magic, resonated in the cavern, asking, nay, demanding for the surrender of the goblins, now that Klarg was down, his vital organs visible through the wound caused by Solgran's tremendous sword slash.

Good idea Allura, let's see what will happens.

Her hand on her holy symbol, the words of her spell ready to be spoken, shield up, she looked around, ready to target any goblin that would do an offensive move, as Ophelia was flying overhead, loudly screeching to punctuate the hopeless situation the goblins were in.

Location - Klarg's Cavern
ROUND 2

---

With both wolves dead on the floor within seconds and Klarg bleeding, the goblins looked less sure of themselves. Osmon took advantage of the reprieve, sending his familiar to hound the goblin nearest Snoric. As it swooped down, the goblin swinging at it, Osmon stood up and used his magic, firing a  mote of fire at it, burning it's side.

Allura, looking at the goblin facing her, burnt from the fire, spoke up with a loud voice.  "Look around you fools, your people are falling, your leader is near death, and I laugh at your pathetic attempts to hurt me. I am not without mercy. Drop your weapons throw them down now and surrender and you shall be spared but do not give away this chance or you will join your brethren who hangs at my belt." Her voice echoing around the chamber. She swings her blade letting the blue flames illuminate the goblin head she tied to her belt earlier.

"Make your choice, one is life, the other is your deaths." Many of the goblin's pause, but klarg roared (Wether in pain or defiance). "Klarg is master here. Obey Klarg. Kill them all!"

Klarg, spurned by his own words, ignored his wounds and swung his Morningstar towards the barbarian, slamming his hit home with brutal force. <Solgren takes 14 piercing damage reduced to 7 due to raging>

The slight reprieve from her sister was enough for Yana, seizing her rapier, she deftly plunged it through a goblins throat. It croaked, gurgling with blood as it dropped.

The goblins spurned on from respect or fear, continued attacking. The goblin hounding snoric ignored the gnome, more focused on the owl, swinging his weapon and missing the agile bird. Likewise, the two archers, still shaken by Allura's speech, fired somewhat hesitantly, missing their targets. But the goblin facing Solgren, fuelled by Klarg sent his spear in wickedly, stabbing the barbarian <Solgren takes 5 piercing damage, reduced to 2 due to raging>. The final goblin facing allura, burnt, saw the grizzly image of the goblin head and went into a rage, swinging his scimitar in an arcing blow with a scream <Allura takes 8 slashing damage>

Solgren, his vision solely on klarg, took the hit full on in the ribs with an evil smile, and lunging forward, skewered the bugbear straight through, his blade coming out his back. Klarg opened his eyes in horror. "Nooo....Klarg is....king here. Klarg is...." His voice trailed off as the Morningstar clattered to the ground, Solgren shaking him off the blade, he looked at the goblin (who immediately wet himself in fear)

Malice stepped up to solgren's side, her sword flashing missing the goblin as it stepped back from the warrior

Yulin, unsure of what was happening, stood there, stunned at Solgren and his vicious attack, unsure on what to do.

Amalia, seeing the goblin that attacked Allura, immediately went into action with her priestly magic, the goblin screaming with pain as it held it's head, dropping to the ground, dead.

Snoric, not to be outdone, again fired his weapon, missing as it echoed through the cave.


<OOC: Klarg is dead (Well and truly), and there are two sleeping goblins and three left alive, which looked very intimidated.

Solgren. Next attack roll you get advantage (If you choose to attack)

Ok guys....now what?>

Seeing the number of goblins diminished severely,  Yana quickly lined up a sniper shot and fired.   Unfortunately,  she might have rushed the shot a bit.

OOC:  06:47, Today: Yana Whitlock rolled 5 using 1d20.  Sharpshooter shot

Allura shook her head her eyes dimming to dull blue light for the moment even as she was struck and the gathering threw their lives away.

While her body registered the blow the twilight energy about her providing her the extra health she had been enjoying vanished with that blow. When she looked up her eyes flared back to the bright blue as her opponent dropped from Amalia's spell.

She looked to the archers who had been firing at her and the others the whole battle. The goblin by Solgren, Malice and Amalia was dead he just didn't realize it yet, the same with the one that had been bothering her sister as Osmon, Snoric and her sister could focus on him. She disengaged from any nearby enemies and focused on the remaining archer, "Mercy withdrawn." She fires an eldritch blast though it is very off target.



08:34, Today: Allura Whitlock rolled 7 using 1d20+5.  Eldritch Blast.
