The Savage Frontier, the North, is a cold, rugged, sparsely populated land of snow-capped mountains, rocky hills, sprawling forests, and foggy vales. Isolated strongholds, ancient burial mounds, and the ruins of many forgotten empires dot the vast landscape. Bounded by the Sea of Swords to the west and the desert of Anauroch to the east, the Savage Frontier extends as far north as Icewind Dale, and as far south as the town of Daggerford. Old roads stretch across this great expanse, linking the dwarven strongholds and mines in the mountains to the coastal settlements, frontier towns, and fortified outposts of humans and other folk. These roads are long, lonely, and poorly defended, making them dangerous to traverse. In fertile valleys, towns and cities have sprung up, separated by dozens if not hundreds of miles of untamed wilderness haunted by bandits, barbarians, and monsters.

Evil dragons stirred into action by their dark queen, Tiamat, threatened the settlements of the Savage Frontier for a time. Ultimately, they were defeated and forced to withdraw to their lairs, while Tiamat was banished to the Nine Hells. Fear of the dragons’ wrath has faded quickly with the coming new threat: giants. The peoples of the North are no strangers to giant incursions. Frost giants have long claimed the Spine of the World as their demesne, and hill giants are known to scrounge for food in the untamed hills. But now, in the past couple months, giants of every kind have emerged from their strongholds in force to threaten civilization as never before- and not just frost giants and hill giants, but also stone giants, fire giants, and cloud giants. All of the giants are in an uproar. Reports of giant attacks throughout the North have reached the coastal cities of Luskan, Neverwinter, and Waterdeep, stoking fears that the giants are waging war against humans, dwarves, elves, and other small folk.

Your travels have lead you to the coastal city of Waterdeep. A sprawling city, rich with trade and culture, on the edge of the Savage Frontier. For reasons of your own, you came to the city looking for adventure, purpose, understanding, for a challenge, companionship, wealth, glory, or a mixture of all. Despite the differences, you all found yourselves drawn to a densely packed city square. Upon the stage normally reserved for executions, stood a herald of the Lord’s Alliance. “Hear Ye! Denizens of Waterdeep, the Lord’s Alliance seek service for coin. You’ve all heard the rumors surrounding the neighboring town of Nightstone. The Lord’s Alliance offers 50 gold to any adventurer whom helps secure the town of Nightstone.” Indeed, the city had been bustling over the news coming from the southern roads. Based on your faction affiliations you’ve heard the following:

Lord’s Alliance: Strongest force in the region, but stretched thin with the increasing number of attacks. Looking to lighten their load and protect the region by offering coin in exchange for the severed heads of dangerous beasts, dragons, and giants. From the Alliance posts throughout the area, the members of the Lord’s Alliance know all commerce from Nightstone has stopped.

Harpers: While the Harper presence is strong in Waterdeep, the faction hasn’t been able to reach any contact within the area with information regarding the town of Nightstone. Rumbles within the Harpers speak about the black-stone obelisk, for which the town is named after.

Order of the Gauntlet: The Order has been busy the last few months preparing for another battle between good and evil. Man and giant. The Order has no knowledge about the case in Nightstone, but suspect an evil force, needing a good smiting, is behind the attack.

Emerald Enclave: Little is known about the current situation in Nightstone, but for months the Enclave has warned of a growing imbalance within the natural order. News of an attack doesn’t surprise the Enclave, but so close… so soon.

Zhentarim: The Zhentarim have been largely exiled from Waterdeep, and thus the contacts are few and far between within the city. An those within don’t seem too enthused to give up their covert status.

Whether it be for the offered money, the chance to assist those in need, or other secret reasons, you step forward, with 5 others, out of the crowd and volunteer.

Alternate Reasons You Stepped Forward: If you select one of these, or have your own contact/reason for going, please indicate this in a DM Spoiler box. Honor system that the others won’t peek.
Wealthy nobles who use the area for hunting/sport want the area secured. Bonuses offered if you “take care of” the pesky elves squatting in the ruins within nearby forest.
Xanathar (The Beholder running the Waterdeep Thieves Guild) reached out through intermediates for information regarding Nightstone. Additional the Beholder seeks intel on rare artifacts and magical items.
My Noble families live in the city, for various reason they may have reached out for you to seek out Nightstone.
All of the factions in the North are curious about the situation at Nightstone, you are sent to gather intel and report out to other faction operatives.
You have a personal connection to the town?
Feel free to create a random contract/reason, it may get worked into the story eventually!

After a quick debriefing the herald of the Lord’s Alliance provides you each with a signed document which states that at the completion of your services the town of Nightstone is to provide your payment. You’re told to seek out Lady Velrosa Nandar, of Nandar Keep. She oversees the town and will know where the party is needed.

A mix bag of adventurers, you all now find yourselves marching towards Nightstone. News of the attack has the roads empty, as people fear the unknown assailants. Your first day was largely quiet, similarly so the first night’s camp led to little discussion. Now the second day, sun high above the sparsely littered clouds, the party continues its march.

Elcan was first to take the job. He hadn't taken a job for a few months, and the last he had done wasn't very well paying. He also hadn't shaved in the same amount of time.
Anyway, he was sick of being stared at every day. Looking into the eyes of passing strangers, it was like he could see what they were thinking. Elcan needed the open road. Maybe the time foretold by the old hermit would finally come.
When he saw who he would be working with, he knew he had nothing to worry about. He found company in a young chipmunk which, by his innate Firbolg abilities, could understand fully what he said. After the chipmunk ran away into the woods, Elcan cried himself to sleep knowing that whoever was listening carefully probably thought he was insane. After all, he isn't the smartest of Firbolgs.

The young woman who introduced herself as Lady Ravabella Amcathra has been staring curiously at Erykah for a good while now. Certainly long enough for Erykah herself to take notice if not everyone else as well.
Besides her floats what appears to be a strange looking impish creature made entirely out of steam.


Ravabella is on this mission because it was suggested to her by her family. She'll happily take the money though.

[Armored Walrus]

Valor (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=1271991) felt a bit of solidarity with the odd firbolg in the group. He could sense the druid's tension unwinding as they left behind the crowded streets of Waterdeep and entered the cool forest.

Far from a homecoming, for Valor this was a setting out, and a leaving behind. Trees don't stare at your horns, or ask each other "What has one tail, two horns, and three hands? The Demon Cleric." Knowing full well you can hear every word. Well, it was time to show them what he could accomplish.

He looked around at the odd group, "Well, at least there are a lot of us. Anyone know anything about this Nightstone? Or the Lady Nandar?"

History check for if Ravabella knows anything about Lady Nandar: [roll0]

[Gluteus_Maximus]

Elcan ponders if he remembers anything about Nightstone.
History check: [roll0]

[Wheaton's Whelp]

You can recall that Lady Nandar became the leader of the town after the passing of her father, and town founder, Lord Drezlin Nandar a year ago. Since then Lady Nandar has become well known for her ability to negotiate with the Elven clan settled in the Ardeep Forest.

You can recall that the town has always had the Nandar Keep, as you've heard the name before. But the inhabitants and there deeds are beyond your knowledge.

[Esprit15]

Will be taking the "Wealthy nobles who use the area for hunting/sport want the area secured. Bonuses offered if you “take care of” the pesky elves squatting in the ruins within nearby forest" option, given Shizuka's own feelings on her kin.
The half elven woman is quick to jump at the opportunity for work. Fifty gold could buy... well, whatever vice she felt like for the day. Or saved for something fun. Either way, a chance to move and show her skills was always welcome.

Nightstone: [roll0]
Lady Nandar: [roll1]

While she is mostly willing to answer light conversation, the woman otherwise stays quiet in regards to any personal questions asked, and avoids the topic in regards to the others.

[Wheaton's Whelp]

Nightstone received its name from a massive chunk of obsidian which stands in the middle of the city square. Ancient runes covers the stone, and scholars know the stone was infused with some form of strong magical essence, but to their knowledge the magic is not usable any longer. The city is surrounded by a motte and palisades, requiring the use of the city's drawbridge to enter. The city and the neighboring elves in the past frequently quarreled, but there has beena lasting peace between Nightstone and the Ardeep Elves for some time now.

You can recall that Lady Nandar became the leader of the town after the passing of her father, and town founder, Lord Drezlin Nandar a year ago. Since then Lady Nandar has become well known for her ability to negotiate with the Elven clan settled in the Ardeep Forest.

[Esprit15]

"Just that Nightstone was named for a chunk of obsidian in the center of town. Supposedly it has magical properties, but nobody has any way to use them. It's well defended. Walls, drawbridges, moats, the works. Miss Nandar runs the place and is apparently why they get along with the knife ears so well now," Shizuka says to the question.

Ravabella rolls her eyes and responds, "While I also disagree with that, I was more upset by your nastier comment. One I have every reason to take personal offense at."

Shizuka shrugs, barely looking at the other mixed race girl as she continues walking. "I've had worse directed at me from them, so pardon me for not particularly caring."

[Ramsus]

Ravabella blinks a few times as if what Shizuka said is very confusing and then replies, "...No? I don't see why I should have to. I am not whoever you have dealt with in the past and have done nothing to you. If that alone is not enough reason for you to avoid insulting me, consider that my own family is among those who organized this task we are on."
Her tone is of confusion and something like she thinks she's having to explain to someone that they shouldn't put their hands in fire because it's hot. There is also just the slightest hint of a sense of superiority as nobility as well. Though likely not the worst by far most in the group have had to deal with.

[Gluteus_Maximus]

"I'm naturally not content with this conflict, young miss." Elcan says, using his old (at least, in the rest of the party's standards) age to the best of his ability.

[Esprit15]

"When did I insult you? I'm talking about the knife eared pricks in the woods, not mutts like us." At the mention of age, Shizuka looks over to the Firbolg. "Let's keep time spent breathing out of this, unless that time was actually spent doing something else, eh?"

"Which half is financing it?"

[Gluteus_Maximus]

"Hmph. I saw you to be the more level of the two heads in this conflict over a simple title. The world did not grant us our titles, we gave ourselves titles. That is why I call each of you two 'young miss'. It is, quite simply and sadly, what you are." Elcan says, slightly annoyed.

[Carissacat]

Qisira is watching this with some amusement, holding her hands on her head and grinning wildly

"Nah Elcan, let em have it out. Its better for party morale if we get all our issues out the way early, right? Hey if you're gonna fight can I watch? Can't remember the last time I saw two pretty half-elves go at it. Always good entertainment though."

[Ramsus]

Ravabella looks at Shizuka and Elcan and just shrugs. Being called "young miss" was hardly out of the ordinary or unpleasant for her. It seemed like a pretty odd thing for someone making a point of being insulting to half her (and their own) heritage to be upset about.
Then again, he was now acting like he was somehow their better. Shizuka's perhaps he might be. But certainly not hers.

"I am not a 'mutt'. You might view yourself, rightly or not, as of inferior breeding but I most certainly am not. I already made it clear I don't appreciate your nasty little word and I think I've spent more than enough time with this." Ravabella says and walks away, putting others of the group between Shizuka and herself.

As she does so she turns to look at Elcan and says, "My title is Lady." Making something of a point that she actually has a Title. Making sure he too is not close enough for comfortable conversation.

As she passes by Qisira she brushes past very closely... which perhaps accidentally causes the very hot steam creature that Garnet currently is in the forum of to rub up against the dragonborn.

[Gluteus_Maximus]

Turning to Qisira, "Qisira, while you are also a young miss, you are wise for your young age. It saddens me that dragonborn such as yourself are not long for this world, but that is the natural way." He says, clearly respecting Qisira's position.

Then, he turns to Ravabella, and points to a rock on the side of the road. "Lady, if I was to up and declare myself Lord of that rock, how would you react?" He asks, trying to teach her a lesson.

[Carissacat]

Qisira doesn't even flinch as the steam creature brushes past her, watching as Ravabella walks to the front of the group.

"Kinky, I like it" she says, just loud enough for Ravabella to hear.

"And thanks Eclan, I think you and I are gonna get on just fine"

[Ramsus]

Garnet Concentrating on: --

Ravabella just ignores the foolish man who is speaking foolishness. She doesn't even consider the words long enough to roll her eyes at them. They're simply not worth her time.
She feels much the same about the dragonborn's words too. Though she does reflect that she at least wasn't making any real attempt at being serious, so she's certainly in the running for least irritating traveling companion so far.

[Gluteus_Maximus]

"You are not unlike those many people in Waterdeep who stared at me for those months I was there. What I'm saying if you do not care about what I am saying, and that your parents, or whoever declared themselves lord and lady of the area of grass, dirt, and rock, everyone else has the right to not care about your titles. Your arrogance will be your undoing, and I am sure of that." He declares, then turns away, clearly done with the conversation.

[Carissacat]

"This is gonna be more fun that I thought" Qisira thinks to herself, keeping one eye on the half-elf moving up ahead.

Stretching all of her muscles at once and listening to the joints pop, she falls back in line to walk alongside Eclan

"So Firby, what brings you so far out of your forest? Can't say I've seen many Firbolgs out of 'em"

[Gluteus_Maximus]

"Stabbed in the back 90 years ago. Want to see the scar?"

[Esprit15]

An imbecile, and a priss. At least the dragonborn was amusing, possibly. She now knew what set off one of the group members. The large one seemed too stoic to anger, sadly, though there was the clear attempt to earn his years. Useful. Hm... knowing that amongst them was elven royalty... There were uses for that. Fun, interesting, and possibly hilarious uses.

Amusement with humanoids draining fast, Shizuka begins playing a tune on her trumpet as they walk, to keep wildlife away.

[Carissacat]

"Aww sweet are we sharing scars now? I got plenty of 'em but I'd have to take my armor off to show 'em properly and that would take way too long."

She looks to see where Ravabella has gotten to before leaning down and putting an arm around Eclan

"Look go easy on the Lady alright? I know the whole nobility thing is a load of whack but they got just as many issues as the rest o' us common folk, even if they don't show it. And hey she's here and that's gotta mean something right? Right? Look whatever, I'm just here to get paid. Good hustle Eclan" she says before slapping the Firbolg on the back.

"And Toots." She turns to Shizuka. "Ya might wanna keep that down lest ya bring every bandit in the area to our location"

[Esprit15]

"I'll take bandits over wolves, personally. Not like we're a caravan with goods to steal. A little food and some basic weapons don't seem worth the risk. Besides, between you and the big guy, people would have to be crazy to want to fight us." That being said, she does stop after another minute or so.

[Gluteus_Maximus]

"Well, I meant more of a personal stab in the back and a mental scar. You know what, you probably wouldn't understand this specific instance." He says, then, hearing what Shizuka said, continues talking. "Animals are my specialty. Rather having both is a better path than uncertainty."

[Armored Walrus]

"Oookayyy. So we do know a little more about our objective at least. So what do you all think we'll be facing? My guess is zombies." Valor (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=1271991) gets an eager look on his face, and absently rubs his holy symbol, a porcelain gauntlet of Torm suspended from a tin chain around his neck.

Valor (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=1271991) gets an eager look on his face, and absently rubs his holy symbol, a porcelain gauntlet of Torm suspended from a tin chain around his neck.

"What makes you think that?"

[Armored Walrus]

"Hmm, well to be honest, I guess it's more of a hope than a guess. There's something purely heroic about smiting the undead. Hard for folks to second-guess your motives there."

[Carissacat]

"Eh." Says Qisira, hands now back on her head. "Its not likely to be undead, else they'd have sent more folks like you and less folks like me. No, if the rumours are true, we're fighting something a bit... bigger"

[Armored Walrus]

Valor (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=1271991) peers curiously at the dragon woman, silently inviting her to elaborate.

[Esprit15]

"Eh." Says Qisira, hands now back on her head. "Its not likely to be undead, else they'd have sent more folks like you and less folks like me. No, if the rumours are true, we're fighting something a bit... bigger"

"One might even say giant," Shizuka adds with a smirk.

[Carissacat]

"One might even say giant," Shizuka adds with a smirk.
"Alright, alright. Spoil my fun why don't you. Listen... Valor was it? Don't tell me you haven't heard the rumours. Giants, coming down from the mountains and their high castles to wage war on us smaller folks. Sounds like the stuff of legends and I wanna be there, hacking at their ankles. Never fought a giant before see. I wonder if the bards will write an epic about me. Well, one bard in particular"
Qisira gets a dreamy look on her face at this point.

Elcan continues walking without speaking, knowing he is not an expert in rhymes or the whereabouts of giants. He stays silent unless asked about something.

Erykah keeps walking along, covering herself in the hood of her traveling cloak.

She is neither amused or annoyed by the tiff between the elf bloods, she just takes mental note and stores the information away.

She was interested in this assignment for the alliance, she hopes to increase her standing and influence within the organization.

Milady, I noticed you staring, is there something I can help you with?

Erykah tries to address Lady Ravabella privately while on the road.

I see, I have tried to camouflage them with the tattooers art, but you have seen the truth of it. The blood of a green dragon flows through my family. The actual source of the corruption is lost to our knowledge but those of us who manifest physical characteristics also inherit certain gifts, like our natural magical proclivities.

Given the evil nature of green dragons I tend not to advertise the relation lest I become the target of bigoted bias, much as you saw with our compatriot over there. I would appreciate it if you kept this to yourself.

[Wheaton's Whelp]

After following the trail for miles, you hear the ringing of a bell. The sound grows louder as Nightstone comes into view. A river flows around the settlement, forming a moat. The village itself is contained within a wooden palisade, beyond which you see a windmill, a tall steeple, and the high-pitched rooftops of several other buildings. Apart from the ringing bell, you detect no other activity in the village. The trail ends before a lowered draw bridge which spans the moat. Beyond the drawbridge, two stone watchtowers flank an open gap in the palisade.

South of the village and surrounded by the river moat is a cone-shaped, flat-topped hill on which stands a stone keep enclosed by a wooden wall. The keep, which overlooks the village, has partially collapsed. A wooden bridge which once connected the keep to the village has also partially collapsed.

"Could you please scout it out for us Garnet?" Ravabella asks the strange steam creature. It nods and replies (in Ignan) <"Ok."> before taking off into the air quite some distance above before moving into the air space above Nightstone.


By "quite some distance" I mean out of range of most bows, unless Garnet won't be able to see details like what kind of beings are moving around on the ground from that high.

[Armored Walrus]

Valor (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=1271991) crosses his arms and watches the creature head out over the damaged keep. "Glad we don't have to go in there, blind, Lady." he says, "Hope there's someone home."

[Wheaton's Whelp]

You watch as Garnet flies up between the two watch towers. The mephit disappears behind the left most watchtower, before seconds later floating across and behind the right watchtower. Shortly after the mephit comes flying back.

Garnet is able to see the town is largely emptied. Beyond the entrance to the left appears to be a temple that the bell ringing is originating from. Directly ahead of the entrance is a large square with two large creatures appearing to be preoccupied with a current meal. Garnet was too far away to make it out, but the deceased didn't appear to be human. Garnet is able to identify the large-mawed creatures as worgs. Throughout the town Garnet saw large boulders have been strewn about. Residences and town streets damaged under the boulders weight. Garnet was able to hear rustling about throughout the town, but couldn't see anyone around. To Garnet's knowledge no one knows he or the party are there. He wasn't able to get a good look at the Keep, but didn't see movement in that direction.

"Garnet saw that Nightstone seems to be empty of people aside from two Worgs that were eating something that did not appear to be human. The bell we can hear ringing comes from a temple to the left beyond the entrance. The town is littered with boulders that have damaged residences and streets. She could hear movement in various places, but could not see what was making it. Fortunately she believes nothing in the town saw her or is aware of our presence. She didn't go all the way to the Keep, but also did not see anything else moving in that direction either." Ravabella says and gives a smile to Garnet.

After a pause to let the others absorb this information she asks, "Does anyone have any thoughts on how we should approach this?"

[Gluteus_Maximus]

Elcan nods. He casts Shillelagh on his quarterstaff and raises his shield. "We should deal with those worgs quickly. Qisira?" He readies the quarterstaff and begins walking slowly towards the worgs.

[Esprit15]

"Stay close to the rubble and shadows, take the worgs by surprise, plan further without the risk of them getting in our- hey, big guy!" Shizuka hisses to the Firbolg, "We're trying to at least walk into this with a plan before messing things up!

[tieren]

a pair of words working together could be a chqllenge. It would probably be best for us to deal with them directly while we have surprise in our favor, instead of some other objective and hoping we don't draw their attention.

"If we can't all agree on some kind of more detailed strategy or even stealth in general, perhaps we can at least agree to engage them with ranged weapons to start?" Ravabella suggests, a bit dismayed that "charge straight in without a discussion" was the first plan suggested on this mission.

[Gluteus_Maximus]

Elcan puts his back to a wall. "Only you and Valor possess effective ranged weapons. There are 6 of us and 2 of them, and we have ample healing ability."

[Esprit15]

"So there's no tactical value in at least getting the jump on them. Got it. We have ample healing, but I would rather not spend it all at one time. The town wasn't taken by two worgs, after all," Shizuka says. "If you want to charge into battle headon, be my guest, but I'm not supporting some asinine plan like that unless literally everyone else thinks it's the only way."

[Gluteus_Maximus]

"Has anyone suggested a way we possibly can get the jump on two beasts each with keen sense of smell and sight without cover? You will have to forgive my waning hearing if they have."

[Esprit15]

"Moving quickly, hiding in alleyways. Heck, draw them to an alley or somewhere hat they can't fight side by side. They're large and dumb. If we can fight only one of them at a time, we can avoid any significant damage. We won't strain our healing as much, and don't have to worry about getting flanked."

[Carissacat]

"Splitting them up is our best idea I'd say. A worg on its own is bad, but worgs working together spells trouble. Draw away one of them, maybe with the Lady's floaty friend or some more food and one group fights that and another fights the other one. I suggests the group that draws away the worg is the most sneaky of us, and the one that fights the other is the more shiny of us. That way if anyone spots us fighting the worg they'll think its just a few of us and not all of us. If both worgs follows the distraction and we can't split them then lets at least fight them away from the main square, I don't like the idea of someone getting the drop on us whilst we're knee deep in worg guts"

Qisira turns to Lady Ravabella
"Lady, this may be an odd question but does ya steamy friend smell of anything?"

[Armored Walrus]

"Tactical discussions aside, I would like to head to the temple before we do anything else. That ringing bell seems a call for help. Is there a path to the temple that doesn't take us past the worgs?"

[Carissacat]

"Hmmm. If we're sneaky, and I am totally aware that I'm not all that sneaky, then I reckon we could make it to the back of the temple no problem. A distraction would be helpful in any case, might make up for my clanky old armour. " Qisira says, casting an eye over the scene before her.
"Anyone got anything particularly distracting? "

[Armored Walrus]

"Well, I can yell pretty loud. Or make the ground shake a little. Or I can make certain sounds happen, and make it sound like they are coming from a specific location."

[Esprit15]

With a quick, rising note on the horn, a Wilhelm scream begins calling out from around 30 feet away. Shizuka snaps her fingers, and the sound disipates. "Useful trick. I can make other noises as well. I'd make the image of a body, but like you said, they have a good sense of smell. I can also keep in communication with the other group if we really want to split up."

Ravabella shakes her head to the question and responds, "No, Steam Mephits just smell like steam as far as I'm aware. Which is not much of a smell at all."

After listening to the ideas presented she says, "These ideas sound fine. I don't think I can be more distracting than having Garnet fly around making noise or shooting things with my crossbow. Do keep in mind that they're both currently distracted by a meal, so it probably shouldn't be terribly hard to sneak up to them at least a certain distance away. If it proves too difficult to get them to separate, we might want them focused on Garnet. In this form she can cast a spell that makes landing blows on her more difficult."

Garnet says something probably incomprehensible to most in response to this to Ravabella in what is possibly a droll tone (Ignan) <"Yay. Getting torn apart by dogs. My favorite."> To which Ravabella snickers.

[Armored Walrus]

"Ok, well, let's head toward the temple and try to at least get our backs against that wall when we engage. Qisira and I can take the lead." With that, Valor (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=1271991) steps across the bridge, and begins angling toward the west wall of the temple.

Valor Stealth check (ADV and DIS with Heavy armor cancel out)[roll0]

Valor syncs her movement to the clang of the temple bell as she moves to the western side of the temple. Now below the steeple, the ringing thunders above, shaking the temple wall Valor leans against. Valor stands up straight as she realizes the vibrations cause her armor to rustle loudly. Leaning over to view the city square Valor sees the worgs fighting over an especially meaty hunk of flesh. Visceral growls are heard between the bell's roar.

Lady Ravabella notices the beasts' quarrel and makes her move. Keeping her eyes on the blood-soaked faces of the tug-of-war participants, Lady Ravabella doesn't notice Garnet take a turn before her. As the steam mephit glances by the Lady's arm, Lady Ravabella let's loose a scream during a moment of silence.

The leg bone falls to the concrete below as two sets of piercing eyes lock onto Lady Ravabella. White foam gathers in the corners of their clenched jowls as they slowly turn to face the city entrance.

Erykah follows the rest of the party at a distance of 30 feet or so. She uses her in ate spellcasting to imbue herself with mage armor.

"...Of course that would happen. Stay back, they're faster than us. Giving them the first hit would be bad." Elcan steps out of the shadows, and moves to be 60 feet away from the Worgs. If one is closer than the other, he will stay 60 ft. away from that one specifically.

Moving across the bridge, Shizuka stays low and tucks behind one of the large boulders. Hearing Lady Ravabella shriek in pain, she readys herself to mend the mutilated body of the worgs' latest victim.

Eyes transfixed upon the Half-Elf, the worgs lurch forward towards the smell of singed skin; more and more teeth creeping into view.

[Armored Walrus]

As the worgs rush toward his companions, Valor (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=1271991) steps forward to meet them, keeping near the front door of the temple.

He swings his hammer, follows up with a backhand blow, and then quickly raises his shield against his enemy's counterattack.

Qisira runs towards Ravabella, preparing to throw herself in front of the half-elf.

"OI TOOTHIES LOOK OVER HERE" she yells as she runs "I'm much tastier than her" She bangs her sword on her shield a couple of times for emphasis.

Seeing the tiefling proceed to attack the worgs she changes the angle of her movement to rush straight up the foe.

"Oi dog breath, taste this"


[roll0] damage [roll1]

[Wheaton's Whelp]

As the first swing of the hammer lands square in the worg's chest, you hear the growling stop as the its jaws open in search of air. Although winded, the hammer misses its target on the backhand.

Although slightly dazed by the attack, the worg dodges just enough to have only some of the tuffs of fur sliced off by Qisira's blade.

Ravabella curses under her breath at having screwed up their advantage (and also from the surprise of the sudden pain), but mentally orders Garnet to advance upon the Worgs in the manner she'd previously suggested. Garnet becomes even more difficult to see than she already was and gets up into the faces of the worgs.
As Garnet moves, so does Ravabella. Though unlike Garnet, she retreats.

[Wheaton's Whelp]

With a crack the bulbous end of the greatstaff catches the worg's mouth, causing the beast to reel in pain as shattered teeth crumble from the impact. Still standing, the injured beast let out a terrifying howl, only to be drowned out by another ringing of the bell.

Seeing the fight quickly turning to their favor, Shizuka smiles a little bit and hops into the fray as well, thrusting her rapier into the large creature's hide. Maybe some of these people were competent after all.

Attack: [roll0]

[Wheaton's Whelp]

Shizuka's rapier comes to rest between the straining neck and shoulder blade. Standing on its back legs the worg hunches back in pain before falling onto its side, blood staining the ground around it.

The other worg continues its push forward. Its eyes land on Garnet for a moment, but the mephit's meatless body doesn't appeal much to the beast's appetite. It turns it's gaze to the next creature: a morsel of half-elf.

The worg falls upon Shizuka, sinking its jaws into the Half-Elf's flesh. Blood begins to pour down the left side of Shizuka, coating her blade

[Wheaton's Whelp]

On the other side of the square, two goblins are seen running towards the group before stopping near a damaged cart. To their south, another goblin can be seen running up with a bow drawn. With bows out, they notch arrows and aim at the mass of adventurers.

A shard of ice flies off and embeds itself into the sternum of Shizuka. A cough of blood spurts out as her body falls limp within the worg's maw.

Swarming the creature Elcan delivers a heavy blow to the worg, causing it to release Shizuka, her body falling to the ground below. Garnet's steam form condenses and slashes at the worg. Where the claws hit smolder and causes the muscle below the skin to bubble and burst. The yell of the worg is quickly silenced as Valor's hammer drives the beast's head into the ground, cracking the cement below. Picking up the hammer reveals the splattered brains of the worg beneath a gaping hole in its skull.

[Carissacat]

"Damn. Well at least these are dead" huffs Qisira.

Valor (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=1271991) lurches away from the carcass of the worg and lends Qisara a hand in dragging Shizuka out of the crossfire. He drops his hammer and kneels next to the half-elf, gripping the holy gauntlet of Torm.

"Holy Torm, it is our constant struggle to be worthy of your blessing. This half-elf fell trying to protect this town. Please help me save her life."

Meanwhile Garnet charges straight for the goblins.


Ravabella Stealth: [roll0]

Garnet moved and Dash action.

[Wheaton's Whelp]

Ravabella peaks around the back of the temple, with its incessant ringing. Behind the temple the graveyard stands empty. Narrow foot paths meander among the graves, most of which are marked with granite headstones. You can see two giant boulders had rolled through, as behind the boulders lay the wreckage of many headstones. In the north east corner stands a lone, above ground crypt, with the name Nander engraved to the front placard.

From this vantage point, you see the back of the neighboring building, looking to be the city's Inn, has been demolished by an boulder. No movement or noise is heard from this direction.

[Carissacat]

Qisira risks a quick peek round the side of the temple to see any potential defensive spots. Seeing a handful of decent sized boulders she takes a deep breath and, holding her shield in front of her head, she sprints towards the furthest boulder she can see.

Erykah dashes from the bridge towards a boulder near the temple. Reaching the boulder the sorcerer drops prone to avoid the next volley of arrows. To the sorcerer's left, Erykah can see the wooden fencing along the graveyard perimeter behind the temple.

Erykah, a reminder for next round that getting up from the prone position takes up half your speed. Currently you have full cover, and are 60 ft., 70 ft., and 90 ft. away from the three goblins respectively. The next closest boulder is 30 ft. to the southeast, where Qisira is currently is standing. 20 ft. to the north east is the western edge of the city Inn. Garnet floats in the open roughly 40 ft. to your east, almost to the northern two goblins. I will update you on any of the movement after the goblins' turn.

This is the start of a new round, reminder the order is Shizuka at the top, the Goblins next, followed by the rest of the party.

[Esprit15]

"What the hell was that!?" Shizuka shouts in the direction of the sorcerer. "Thank you, by the way," she adds to the two individuals that helped her, "but what the hell was that!?"

Shizuka waits as Elcan suggests.
No action.

[Wheaton's Whelp]

Baffled by the semi-translucent creature dashing towards them, two goblins holster their bows and unsheathe jagged curved blades. Yelling as they charge forward, however, clearly on their faces is a look of anxiety and growing dread. Swinging wildly, they attempt to attack from both sides.

As one sword appears to cut through but finds nothing solid, the second goblin makes an upward swing, and to his delight finds resistance, slashing the mephit laterally, causing it to release concentrated steam from the wound. The southern goblin sees his comrades to the north barrel in, swords drawn. Not as willing to charge in, the goblin moves behind a nearby boulder and takes aim with his shortbow.

"Ya didn't wanna do that gobs. I think its time you cooled off!"

And with that she opens her mouth wide and a freezing blast emanates from her jaws.

Qisira steps forward with a crooked grin and releases the blast of cold. In preparation, the northern goblin was able to ward off most of the blast, however the southern goblin wasn't as lucky. The cold energy causes the skin of the southern goblin to turn an oozy black. The goblin looks at his hand, with great strain the goblin slowly opens his hand, skin cracking apart as he does.

[Armored Walrus]

Valor drops his shield next to his hammer and takes his crossbow in his hands. He swings out around the corner of the temple entrance and launches a bolt at the nearest goblin.

Before falling to the ground, the goblin has a look of tranquility as it is released from its pain.

There are two goblins left now. One directly east of you around 45 ft. away, in the open with no cover. The other goblin is 70 ft. to the southeast of your position, hiding behind a boulder with half cover. Qisira is 20 ft. southeast of you, while Garnet is right up in the goblin's face currently (The Goblin 45 ft. to the east). The rest of the party is to the west of you behind the temple wall. Ravabella is on the other side of the temple scouting the back section of Nightstone currently.

[Wheaton's Whelp]

From his perch behind the boulder, Erykah watches as one of the goblins falls. Looking at the already frosted goblin still standing, the sorcerer releases more chilled energy towards the foe.

Goblin CON save: [roll0] vs. DC 13 or [roll1] and become cursed and have DIS on next attack.

The second blast of cold from Erykah's frostbite spell freezes the goblin in place. Completely frozen the creature tumbles to the ground, shattering the goblin's nose against the concrete.

[Esprit15]

Shizuka takes a few breaths. Her wounds were better, and the numbers were less now. They had the upper hand, and the last remaining goblin probably knew it. Standing herself just a little taller than normal, the half elf runs out from behind the building and shouts to the goblin, "Drop your weapon and surrender, or we'll kill you like we killed your friends!"
[roll0]

[Wheaton's Whelp]

The goblin was already shaking from watching its goblins in arms become frozen husks...

[roll0] with DIS [roll1]

The shaking becomes so bad the goblin drops to his knees and releases the grip on the shortbow. Its eyes are unfocused, and from the amount of sweat it is a little surprising the creature hasn't passed out in fear. It can barely make out Bree yark... bree yar....

Bree yark is the commonly known works for surrender by goblins.

With the last goblin too terrified to do anything, this combat encounter is done, and therefore no more initiative order. Go freely!

[Gluteus_Maximus]

Elcan returns his shield and quarterstaff to his back, and walks towards the goblin. He asks, "Did your group do this to the town? These boulders and everything?"
Casting Charm Person. DC 13 wisdom saving throw to avoid being charmed by Elcan. While charmed he treats Elcan as a friendly acquaintance.

[Wheaton's Whelp]

[roll0] vs DC 13

The goblin makes a quick turn as it sees the friendly face of Elcan. "No! No! We are here because the humans came to us. Humans came into cave, we goblins here scouting and looting just as told by the boss! No ones here, left in ruins, left to us!"

The goblin looks around at the size of the boulders, "Too big, too heavy. Goblins can't throw boulders..."

[Gluteus_Maximus]

"What's your name? Could you introduce me to the rest of your friends?" Elcan asks his newfound friend. Well, for an hour, anyway.
He turns 45 degrees to his right, and gestures with his arm to have the party come out of hiding.

As soon as Garnet lets her know the fight is over, Ravabella quickly approaches. She'll get right next to the goblin and lean down and..... pat him on the head. "There there. I am sorry about all of this. If your friends had just said hello to us instead of shooting us with their arrows we could have avoided all this unpleasantness. So my little friend, do you think you could call them all out here and suggest they come out without their weapons drawn? As long as they give us half the things they've stolen from the town, my friends and I will let them leave. That sounds fair doesn't it? Much better than the previous exchange don't you think?" While she speaks she gives the goblin an smile that seems honest, as if she really would rather not kill goblins. She doesn't even look at all grossed out at touching the rough and clammy skin or the unwashed smell the way a goblin might expect most humans to look. Or how most humans might expect a noble to react for that matter.

[Armored Walrus]

Valor collects his hammer and shield, and remains in the shadow of the temple, waiting to see what comes of this turn of events.

[tieren]

Erykah rejoins the rest of the group by the goblin trying to look as unassuming and friendly as possible.

She also apologizes for the errant ice knife.

[Wheaton's Whelp]

The goblin looks at the bodies of the two deceased goblins in hard thought for a moment, before laughing and waving his hand as if dismissing the thought. "You're friends, you wouldn't do.." the goblin motions towards the dead goblins, "That to the others. They'll be happy with Gwert! Gwert made strong friends, maybe strong as boss!" The idea of being rewarded for his work in recruiting the party replays over and over in Gwert's head.

Gwert looks to Ravabella, "Gwert doesn't need this, take it," as he throws a silver packet watch in her direction.

The watch is a heavily polished silver, with an inscription on the inside reading, "To our wonderful Grandpappy Nestor, Happy Birthday, Love Jehanna, Ellis, and Ghalt." Worth of the watch is 25 gp.

"Hark sent ten... maybe twelve of us to investigate and loot the town. Would you like to meet the others!? You'll have to forgive Pojo and Tot for the cold reception," the goblin does finger guns towards Oisira, "but I think Beedo and Vark called the temple... ah Gum-Gum is... somewhere. Watch out for Longo and Yek, they're mean. Ah, they'll love ya!" He grabs Elcan by the hand and asks, "Who do you want to meet first?"

[Gluteus_Maximus]

"Let's go meet Beedo and Vark, they sound like cheerful ones!" Elcan says with a smile, before turning to Ravabella quickly and whispering in her ear, "See if you can find some rope, or something else to bind them up once we capture them all." He then follows wherever Gwert leads him.

"Thank you Gwert, it's lovely!" Ravabella replies to the goblin as she takes the watch.

Ravabella momentarily looks at the rope on her pack at Elcan's words, but then gives him this look of confusion like she doesn't understand something about what he just siad.

[Wheaton's Whelp]

Gwert looks around, as the ringing of the bell finds a momentary new vigor. "Hmm... Gwert was in a watchtower, not sure where everyone is. Could be anywhere."

[Gluteus_Maximus]

"Well, Gwert, you said that they went to the temple? Maybe they're the ones ringing that bell. Sounds just like I would think they would be doing with those cheerful names!" Elcan says with an even wider smile than before.

[Wheaton's Whelp]

"Strong and smart! Hark will be very, very pleased with Gwert!!" Gwert runs forward to the temple and struggles a bit to push open the large wooden doors at the temple entrance. The gongs of the bell silences the scraping of the door's bottom against the inner temple floor. Gwert runs in the temple, and vanishes in the shadow of the door frame, leaving the door ajar behind him.

Erykah follows along standing about 20 feet from the door but trying to angle for a view inside.

[Gluteus_Maximus]

Elcan stands in the doorway, smiling, waiting for Gwert to introduce him.

[Esprit15]

Erykah rejoins the rest of the group by the goblin trying to look as unassuming and friendly as possible.

She also apologizes for the errant ice knife.

"You watch where you're slinging spells. Otherwise I might accidentally throw one back at you, thinking you an enemy, got it?"

As the group moves forward, Shizuka follows quietly along, rapier still drawn but not actively pointed at anyone.

[Armored Walrus]

Valor follows the group, but stays near the front door. Glancing around, he quickly downs the red contents of a glass flask he had on his belt. He might need to conserve his magic for later.

Drinking my potion of healing. [roll0]

[Carissacat]

"Aww you mean I don't get to kill any more of 'em?" Says Qisira, swinging her sword up onto her shoulder and looking around.
"Not sure I entirely trust them but whatever"

[Gluteus_Maximus]

Elcan, while waiting for the goblin to come out, replies to Qisira. "I have that one under a spell. He sees us all as friends as long as we don't harm him, and through him, his friends will see us as the same. This will only last for one hour, however, so we must make good use of it in the first minutes, then we can be creative as to how to dispose of them. They will do as I say as long as I do not hurt them beforehand."

[Esprit15]

"I don't think his friends are affected by the spell."

[tieren]

While the rest of the group is focused on the door to the temple, Erykah will look about the area outside the temple and move to find cover from anyone approaching from the opposite direction.

[Gluteus_Maximus]

"I didn't mean harming them... Never mind." He says, sighing. He then turns to Shizuka and says, "They may not be under the effect of the spell, but as their friend is and they see me as a friend and therefore the rest of us as friends, they will introduce us to them as friends. It may also be a good idea to hide those goblin corpses before they come out. I'll keep 'em inside until then."

In quick turnabout Ravabella gives Elcan a smile and says, "That's a good idea." and then she looks at Shizuka expectantly.

[Esprit15]

Shizuka gives a look back at the wizard as though to suggest "What?" before going to the goblins and rummaging through their pockets, before hauling them somewhere less visible, like the shaded area of a building.

[Wheaton's Whelp]

The smell of death oddly has been largely abated by the cold magic, leaving the task of looting and moving the bodies relatively enjoyable for Shizuka.

Shizuka comes across what she believes is a solid gold ring, worth roughly 25 gp on one goblin, and on the other the goblin you find... a frozen chicken...

Looking into the Temple notice the markings and holy symbols of Lathander, God of the Dawn, and Mielikki, Goddess of the forests, laid into the tiles of the temple. Sunlight pours into the high-vaulted chamber through four stained-glass windows. The windows depict images of a birth, a dawning sun, mighty trees, and a mystical unicorn in collage of colored glass. Beneath the windows are plain wooden benches, meant for the elderly or sick to use during lecture. The center of the room is open with dirt floors, and at the head of the Temple a podium. To the left of the podium is a ladder stretching up and disappearing into the tall form of the steeple.

Gwert points up at the ladder and races over and climbs out of sight. I takes a second, but the bell stops...

[roll0]

[Wheaton's Whelp]

You hear a bustle of noise coming from the top of the steeple as Gwert yells, "No! NO!! Please believe Gwert!!"

Suddenly the form of Gwert reappears into view as he falls from the top of the steeple's ladder.

Gwert falls and takes [roll0] bludgeoning damage

Gwert hits the ground with a thud, and painfully curls up into a ball. Gwert's eyes move to the door where he can see a few from the party. Panic returns to Gwert as he crawls to the podium and poorly attempts to hide.

From the top of the steeple you hear a goblin yell, "That was no Gwert! Those down there, leave now! The town and its goods belong to Boss Hark!"

[Gluteus_Maximus]

Elcan goes over to Gwert and holds him comfortingly. "I'm sure this Boss would like to meet my quarterstaff! And you will too, if you aren't careful!" he yells back. He then turns back to Gwert and says, "Do you want us to help? Go out to the lady with the light blue eyes, she can fix you up. Meanwhile, I'll teach Beedo and Vark some lessons. I seem to have misjudged them..."

[Armored Walrus]

Valor hefts his hammer and moves up to ascend the stairs with Elcan.

Upon seeing that Gwert got hurt Ravabella glares upwards at where she thinks the other goblins are and mentally commands Garnet to attack them. Which Garnet does, flying up and breathing a blast at steam at them.


Garnet uses Steam Breath: The mephit exhales a 15-foot cone of scalding steam. Each creature in that area must succeed on a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw, taking [roll0] fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

[Armored Walrus]

Valor charges up the stairs right behind Garnet. Then pauses at the top, nonplussed at what he sees.

[Wheaton's Whelp]

Beedo: [roll0]
Vark: [roll1]

Ravabella: I'll roll to see if Garnet recharges her breath attack too [roll2]

Beedo falls in agony, body twitching after the blast of steam. His screams subside, the twitching ends, and his corpse lay smoldering.

Vark yells in pain, but the steam was partially guarded against by his tunic. Red in the face Vark rushes forward.

I will do this in the next post as I need to do more rolls.

[Wheaton's Whelp]

At the top of the ladder Vark can see a dimly lit room, roughly 20 square feet with a giant bell at the forefront. Valor has a moment to enjoy it before Vark charges and attempts to push Valor back down the ladder.

Vark's Strength(Athletics) [roll0] against Valor's Strength(Athletics) [roll1]

On a success for Vark, Valor takes [roll2] bludgeoning damage from the fall from the ladder

Vark runs up and hits Valor with all his force, but the immense presence of the cleric barely feels the goblin run into him. The goblin leans against the cleric with pain in his shoulder from the attempted tackle.

[Armored Walrus]

Valor clings to the ladder, then pushes back and bulls his way past the goblin. He grips his weapon and shield on the other side of his foe, and grins.

He calls back downstairs, "Thought there would be more of them up here! I can probably handle this."

[Wheaton's Whelp]

Gwert listens to the screams of his goblin friends echoing from the steeple. Body aching from the fall, Gwert considers his next move.

[roll0]

Gwert gets to his feet, with a noticeable limp from what appears to be a broken leg, and attempts to run. Gwert makes it about 5 ft before falling down in pain, but fear forces him back to his feet, as he continues to run to the doorway.

[roll1]

As silence fills the town for the first time, Erykah begins to notice various noises about town. Rumbles of items being thrown aside can be heard in the Nightstone Inn and the Trading post to the south east. Beyond the trading post, Erykah hears an odd mixture of what sounds to be ghoulish noises intermixed with laughter.

[Esprit15]

After a minute or two of hauling corpses and hiding one by a boulder and the other next to a house in the shade, Shizuka heads back to the rest of the group. As the sounds of shouting begin to reach her, she starts running toward the group. Using full round to run back to group.

[Gluteus_Maximus]

Elcan runs after Gwert. He's only going to hurt himself on that leg, he thinks. He waits until Gwert stops running or Gwert falls over, and if he falls over, he will pick him up as a parent would with their child. Regardless of whether or not they fell, he says comfortingly, "Get a hold of yourself. Those guys were just like the ones that attacked us on our way in. Don't think about them. Just be happy!" The last sentence he says in a singsong voice.

[Wheaton's Whelp]

When the bell stopped, Shizuka had found her way over to a nearby shaded spot of plowed soil, placing the goblin in a spot unlikely to be stumbled upon.

(No roll as passive perception would be high enough with the bell silenced) In the distance a low "Oooooh! OOhhhh!" is heard, followed by the sound of muffled laughter. When Shizuka turns she is initially surprised by the sight, towards the end of the neighboring farm to the south is what appears to be two pumpkin-headed goblins, holding long corn stalks in each arm chasing each other around. From your distance you can see the pumpkins appear to have small, but crude, eye holes carved into them.

Gwert, hears the Firbolg as Elcan supports him up, brushing off the dust from his tunic Elcan keeps the goblin's weight off of his leg.

[roll0]

Gwert looks at Elcan, but not meeting his eyes. He tries to lift his leg, but heavy swelling is already causing the limb to become stiff. With a sigh, Gwert responds, "Heal me and I help you best I can, actually... the goblin looks at the large figure of Elcan for a moment. "How about a ride? Gwert not heavy."

[Gluteus_Maximus]

Elcan flexes his left arm. "I can carry you just fine! I'm about twice as strong as anything you've ever met!" he says, and picks Gwert up with his right.

[tieren]

Erykah calls to her companions, there appear to be more in the inn and the trading post

She then moves south towards the noises.

[Gluteus_Maximus]

Elcan holds Gwert with both hands and gives him a piggyback ride. He walks over to Shizuka and says, "If he's going to be useful, he needs fixing up. I'm out of spells for today. Could you heal him?"

[Esprit15]

"A spell on him is a spell not used on one of us. I'd rather have something to call out quickly if we get into another fight and someone else hits the ground. Given that there are plenty more goblins down in that house over there," Shizuka says, pointing to the southern building, "I'd rather take my chances with Splurt dying like the rest of our greeting party. Maybe use one of those potions we found if you think he's really that helpful."

[tieren]

Erykah approaches the trading post and attempts to investigate the ghoulish noises beyond.

[Wheaton's Whelp]

For the purposes of the current fight we will say you are not currently with the party, but outside with Erykah. You're free to post still

Vark puts out the jagged metal fashioned into a makeshift scimitar and lashes out at Valor the immovable.

Attack: [roll0] Damage: [roll1] Crit Dice: [roll2]

The blade makes a loud shriek across Valor's armor before it finds its way in between the breastplate and shoulder. Sinking about an inch in before the ripping the blade away in a splash of blood.

(No roll as passive perception would be high enough with the bell silenced) In the distance a low "Oooooh! OOhhhh!" is heard, followed by the sound of muffled laughter. When Erykah turns he is initially surprised by the sight, towards the end of the neighboring farm to the south is what appears to be two pumpkin-headed goblins, holding long corn stalks in each arm chasing each other around. From your distance you can see the pumpkins appear to have small, but crude, eye holes carved into them.

[tieren]

Erykah silently signals to Qsira to come over so she can show her the pumpkin headed goblins.

[Armored Walrus]

Flinching away from the goblin's thrust puts Valor (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=1271991) in an awkward position, but he manages to try to jab his hammer into Vark's face.

Valor will attack one handed with his warhammer [roll0] damage [roll1] If that doesn't kill Vark then I will use my second use of War Priest to bonus action attack again [roll2] damage [roll3]

Garnet moves in to flank with Valor are tries to break the goblin's neck.

Meanwhile Ravabella follows after Elcan and Gwert. She frowns at Shizuka's words, but can't think of a convincing argument given how blades and arrows are a serious threat to any of them and indeed there is only so much healing to go around. Still she is being rude and that at least merits comment, "His name is Gwert Shizuka. I doubt you'd like people mocking your name. Even if you don't care about offending Gwert, you might at least care that without Gwert's help we might have to fight an untold number of goblins."


Garnet attack: [roll0]
advantage from flanking: [roll1]
damage: [roll2] fire & slashing

[Gluteus_Maximus]

Elcan gives Gwert his staff, so he can use it as a crutch. He then hands it to Gwert on his side with the broken leg, and holds Gwert's other hand. He re-casts Shillelagh on his quarterstaff, and readies it in his open hand. Elcan leads Gwert over to the trading post, which Erykah said she heard sounds from. He lets go of Gwert's hand, and says "Go in there and tell them that you fell from a height and we helped you up.", knowing that it isn't entirely untrue. "I'll stay close by to prevent them hurting you." He says with a smile.

[Carissacat]

Qisira, who had been leaning up against a boulder having a little rest, rolls her eyes at the sound of the goblin hitting the ground and the ensuing attacks.
"Told ya they weren't to be trusted"

Noticing Erykah's motion she looks between her and the building where fighting noises are ensuing. "Huh" She sighs making her way over to her. "This better be good"

[tieren]

Erykah whispers to Qisira:

It only looks like 2 and they appear to be distracted, should we engage ourselves or wait for the others and see if we can convince them to surrender peacefully?

[Wheaton's Whelp]

As Valor thrusts the hammer forward, the goblin is able to spin nimbly out of the way with a pirouette, but as the hammer is brought back it cracks against Vark's chest. Vark, appearing an empty shell already, falls into the claws of Garnet. Cutting through like butter, Vark passes without protest.

The party joins Elcan and Gwert as they make their way to the trading post. Mounted above the post's entrance hangs a large, blue shield emblazoned with a stylized golden lion. The lion is well known as the symbol of the Lionshield Coster trading company, a successful company running out of Waterdeep. The door to the trading post hangs ajar, and now closer to the entrance, you can hear the grunts of another goblin shifting through the post's goods.

Gwert raises an eyebrow at Elcan and his plan, but shrugs his shoulders as he heads into the trading post. You hear the clack of the staff as Gwert makes his way to a back room where the other goblin is, but you can't quiet make out the conversation from the door.

[roll0] to convince goblin (Jilk) that the party is nice.

Gwert limps into view of the door frame, looking back for a moment Gwert motions with his free hand for the other goblin to show himself. From the left side a goblin with a large, knob nose and carrying a full bundle creeps into view. His eyes dance between the party members outside the door, keeping watch over any movement. Gwert steps in front of the other goblin, "This is Vilk, he doesn't want trouble. Just to go. I told him he won't find trouble."

[Armored Walrus]

Valor takes a moment to rummage through the bell tower and the two goblin corpses there, just to make sure he isn't overlooking anything.

Perception/Investigation? looking for loot and for anything that explains what is going on here. [roll0]

[Wheaton's Whelp]

As Valor looks through the Temple, it becomes clear that Vark and Beedo had rummaged through before finding the town bell to play with. At the top of the steeple, thrown to the side at the start of the fight, lies two bundles of loot.

In one of the sacks you find three blocks of incense (worth 5 gp each), a silver, holy symbol of Mielikki which is shaped like a unicorn's head (worth 25 gp), a pair of brown, crosshatched robes, and what appears to be a journal of personal prayers from the Temple priest. In the second sack, the only item on note is a small, wooden box with "Poor Box" etched into the top. Looking into the box you see it contains 15 sp and 37 cp.

[Armored Walrus]

Valor throws the sacks over his shoulder and heads out to find the rest of the party.

[Esprit15]

"To go where? What are you all doing here, exactly? Who is in charge?"

[Wheaton's Whelp]

Vilk shuffles up to Gwert; rustling can be heard from the sack lumped over his back. "Out. Vilk just wants out, back to the cave, back to boss!"

The sight of Valor and Garnet approaching makes Vilk visibly more uneasy as he ducks behind Gwert once more.

Garnet, done with the fight, returns to Ravabella. Though making sure to not be so close as to accidentally burn her again. When Ravabella sees her, she gives Garnet a smile.

Vilk shuffles up to Gwert; rustling can be heard from the sack lumped over his back. "Out. Vilk just wants out, back to the cave, back to boss!"

The sight of Valor and Garnet approaching makes Vilk visibly more uneasy as he ducks behind Gwert once more.

"Your odds of leaving improve as you are more honest with us. Why do you want out? Who is your boss? Why are you all here?" Shizuka asks sternly.

[Wheaton's Whelp]

Vilk sneers a bit, as Gwert drops his head as if embarrassed. Raising a hand towards Vilk, Gwert responds. "Out of no where they came. Humans, a few halflings, and even a tiefling or two. By their reaction, they thought cave was empty. Already tired and injured, they put up little fight. Those who surrendered were imprisoned in a sunken cavern... the others... they... we had no choice, they attacked us! Boss Hark ordered us to check the town after. Was about a day ago now."

Behind Gwert, Vilk chimes in, "It's true! No choice. None."

[Gluteus_Maximus]

"Well, Vilk, if you had no choice but to come here when they came to your cave, then for you to come back to your cave they would have to return. Gather up all your friends and leave, then bring back the people from the cave."

Erykah, an attractive female with no armor and no visible weapons, walks into the garden with her arms outstretched and asks the goblins if they 2ould like to surrender to her.

[Esprit15]

Vilk sneers a bit, as Gwert drops his head as if embarrassed. Raising a hand towards Vilk, Gwert responds. "Out of no where they came. Humans, a few halflings, and even a tiefling or two. By their reaction, they thought cave was empty. Already tired and injured, they put up little fight. Those who surrendered were imprisoned in a sunken cavern... the others... they... we had no choice, they attacked us! Boss Hark ordered us to check the town after. Was about a day ago now."

Behind Gwert, Vilk chimes in, "It's true! No choice. None."

"And are there any more humanoids besides you all in the town?"

[Carissacat]

Erykah, an attractive female with no armor and no visible weapons, walks into the garden with her arms outstretched and asks the goblins if they 2ould like to surrender to her.

Qisira, a scarred and intimidating dragonborn in full armour and visibly armed with a longsword, waits by the entrance to see what will happen. She looks casual but is ready to jump in at a moments notice.

[Wheaton's Whelp]

Vick looks at Elcan with a chuckle, "You think Vilk has power over prisoners? No, no, no no no. Only the boss. If we try we'd be prisoners ourselves, if we'd be so lucky." Vilk looks at Shizuka, "We've only come across bodies, those hit by boulders, from buildings collapsing. I can't speak for the others though."

The two goblins in the door suddenly get confused looks upon their faces as they see Erykah approaching the other goblins, arms outstretched. "This ought to be good..." Gwert states has he raises a hand, covering his face but leaving an eye watching the scene play out before them.

[roll0]

As the two goblins see Erykah approach, they are quickly startled and toss the pumpkins off towards the encroaching sorcerer. They glance quickly at each other, then quickly split. One of the goblins with a bit of pumpkin still hanging from his ear takes off for the windmill yelling and clashing a scimitar against a makeshift shield. The other turns and disappears behind the farmstead, running in the direction of a nearby watchtower.

Gwert and Vilk look at each other, worry heavy within their expressions.

Gwert shakes his head, "It would do no good... please... don't judge us by their actions"

Vilk pulls Gwert into the trading post, letting the door slowly close behind them.

[tieren]

Erykah moves to take cover by the boulder to the west and readies the spell ray of frost to cast at the first enemy in range to attack her.

[Wheaton's Whelp]

Moving behind the cover of split boulder, Erykah shrugs off the failed diplomacy and motions with her hands uttering "rreze acar!" Emanating from Erykah's extend hand a ray of cold energy flies towards the goblin running towards the windmill.

Ravabella has Garnet fly up to distract the goblins in the windmill since it seems like it'd be troublesome to have them firing arrows at the group. She herself goes to take cover behind the boulder Erykah is also near.


Garnet moves and Dashes.

Ravabella moved and takes cover behind a big rock.

[Gluteus_Maximus]

Elcan moves over to the body of the dead goblin next to the rock and takes their bow. He isn't good at using it, but it's better than nothing.

[Wheaton's Whelp]

As Garnet drifts towards the upper window of the windmill, the little mephit can see a number of goblins moving throughout the southern edge of town.

Through the window stand two goblins: one with a portly belly hanging past the end of its withered leather armor, and the other smiling widely at the chance for battle, displaying a set of filed down teeth fashioned into points. The heavyset goblin hurriedly steps back and draws its bow, taking aim at Garnet floating beyond the window. The shark-toothed fiend thirsting for combat dashes down the windmill's inner steps, exits through the archway opening at the northwest of the building, and tucks around the back finding a resting place behind another large boulder near his pumpkin-haired friend. Seeing the mephit fly up to the windmill, the pumpkin-haired goblin takes aim at the float figure.

Two arrows find a solid mark on Garnet has she howls in pain as more steam is released through the new wounds. The mephit falls briefly limp, before finding a second wind and maintaining it's place, hovering above the unfolding scene.

To the southeast, two goblins appear and exit the guard tower and join the heavily tattooed goblin. An odd sight of a goblin in a flowy, floral dress quickly disappears as she tucks behind the nearby farmstead. Another wearing a black, bowler nestles up next to the side of a largely destroyed shed, as the tattooed goblin runs forward and finds a boulder to cozy up to. Both the bowler hat and the tattooed goblins pull back the strings of their shortbows and take aim at the Erykah and Ravabella.

Attack roll Against Ravebella for Bowler Hat Goblin: [roll6] Damage: [roll7] Crit Dice: [roll8]; Rava has +2 to AC with half-cover.
Attack roll against Erykah for the tattooed Goblin: [roll9] Damage: [roll10] Crit Dice: [roll11]; Erykah has +2 to AC with half cover.

Both arrows crash against the front side of the boulder Ravabella and Erykah are behind, bouncing into the air before falling harmlessly to the ground.

[Armored Walrus]

Valor (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=1271991) surveys the battle shaping up before him. He doesn't trust either Vilk or Gwert, so he positions himself to keep an eye on them. Knowing that he doesn't have much fight left in him, he decides to ask for Torm's blessing to guide his companions instead. He hangs his hammer on his belt, grasps his holy symbol and raises it in turn toward Elcan, Erykah and Qisira. "Torm, those before you are about to combat evil,guide their strikes."

Casting Bless at 1st level on Elcan, Eyrkah and Qisira. Moving as indicated on the roll20 map.

[Gluteus_Maximus]

Elcan moves over to hide behind the boulder in the farm next to the trading post. He then fires an arrow from his shortbow at the pumpkin-haired one.

Shizuka looks over to the injured cleric and smirks a little. "Come on now, Valor! Live up to your namesake! Dying is for those who are ready to quit!

Garnet annoyed the one goblin was smart enough to vacate the windmill goes through with her plan to enter and let loose a blast of steam. Then, seeing that the goblin hadn't died and knowing this form soon will, she moves next to it, trying to block it's path to the exit.

Ravabella notices she's far more out in the open and surrounded by fewer targets for the goblins than she expected, so she quickly retreats around to the other side of the building directly to the north.


Garnet moves and uses Steam Breath on Portbellied Goblin. DC 10 Dex save for half of [roll0] fire damage.
Then moves to be adjacent to the goblin and block its exit.

Just putting this feature of Steam Mephits here for the GM to roll for if it happens to be relevant as I'm hoping it will be:
Death Burst: When the mephit dies, it explodes in a cloud of steam . Each creature within 5 feet of the mephit must succeed on a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw or take 1d8 fire damage.

Ravabella moves and takes full? cover.

[Wheaton's Whelp]

As Valor finishes his prayer, Erykah, Elcan, and Qisira sense a faint glow behind them as Torm lays a gentle hand on their shoulders.

Elcan, struggling with a shortbow fashioned for a wielder the size of a goblin, finds guidance and pinches the tiny strings back with ease. Releasing an arrow, Elcan watches as the shaft becomes lodged in the exposed thigh of the pumpkin-haired goblin.

Dex save of [roll0] vs DC 10 Damage: 4 or 2 on a success

The potbellied goblin snorts in pain as the steam wedges between the leather armor and hits skin. The greenish tone of the goblin's skin appears bright pink where completely exposed.

Erykah is going to cast another ray of frost at the goblin withe the pumpkin in its hair.

Edit, after casting the cantrip Erykah drops prone behind the boulder to make a more difficult target for the short bows.

[Wheaton's Whelp]

Erykah focus on the pumpkin-haired goblin, zeroing in and waiting for a chance. As Elcan's arrow lands in the goblin's thigh, the pumpkin-haired goblin's foot slips out enough for Erykah to take aim. The condensed ray of cold flies and shatters on the thigh, instantly freezing the head of the arrow to the thigh muscle.


First, cast a cantrip and either hit with the attack roll, or have the target fail its save. It now has the Curse of the Sea until the end of your next turn or until you put this curse on someone else.
Next, cast a spell (cantrip or higher). That spell needs to do one of: cold damage, lightning damage, or forced movement. If the spell does more than one of these, pick just one effect.
Cold Damage: Spell reduces movement speed by 15 ft. (if spell causing movement reduction than the greater value is used.)
Lightning Damage: Target takes additional lightning damage equal to charisma modifier.
Forced Movement: Add 15 ft. to the movement of the spell.

[Carissacat]

"Here we go again" says Qisira, lifting her longsword off of her shoulder and charging at the nearest goblin. (Which I guess would be Tattoos guy)

[Wheaton's Whelp]

As the steam within the upper section of the windmill condenses, water begins to drip down from the rafters, joining the beads of sweat already slickening the surface of the potbellied goblin's reddened-skin. Desperate, the goblin throws down the shortbow and draws a notched scimitar and charges Garnet.

Attack: [roll0] Damage: [roll1] Crit Dice: [roll2].

With the loss steam pooling out of Garnet, the Potbellied goblin becomes disoriented and wild swings his blade, missing the mephit.

If the attack kills Garnet the steam mephit explodes for [roll3] fire damage. The Potbellied Goblins Dex Save: [roll4] vs DC 10.

The shark-toothed goblin moves towards Erykah, coming to a half midway down the hill leading to the windmill. Looking across the field, he sees the charging Dragonborn and takes aim. The bowler hat wearing goblin and the tattooed goblin sensing their ranged positions have been compromised by Qisira, pull out their scimitars and charge in towards the hulking lass. No close enough to see, Qisira notices the tattoos depict multiple goblinoid shapes in combat, with a sinister face forming out of the smoke rising from the battlefield.

Shortbow attack by Pointed-Teeth Goblin: [roll5] Damage: [roll6] Crit Dice: [roll7].

Scimitar attack by Tattooed Goblin (with Adv due to flanking): [roll11] or [roll12] Damage: [roll13] Crit Dice: [roll14].

Circling around Qisira, the tattooed goblin vertically slashes her back through the armor. Blood soaks the cloth beneath the chain mail, as the cloth becomes saturated a large pool of blood begins to form at Qisira's feet.

Reeling from multiple hits, the pumpkin-haired goblin stays put and takes a revenge shot at Erykah.

[roll15] , with DIS roll was a 10 (see below post) Damage: [roll16] Crit Dice: [roll17].

The shot sticks into the ground between the legs of Erykah. Close call.

From behind the farmstead, the floral-dress wearing goblin charges at Shizuka brandishing a shield and scimitar. Unable to get into range the goblin attempts to intimidate Shizuka by beating fiercely on the shield and performing a low growl.

Shizuka [roll18] vs Goblins [roll19]

Shizuka appears unimpressed by the goblin's flaunting.

[Armored Walrus]

Valor (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=1271991) takes Shizuka's words to heart, and rushes out to support Erykah. Still grasping his holy symbol, he calls down the wrath of Torm on the goblin directly in front of him.

Attack (Advantage): [roll0], [roll1]
Damage: [roll2]

Satisfied with her lethal thrust into the goblin, Shizuka pulls the blade out and dashes over to the unconscious dragonborn. She may not be making many friends with this group, but she would certainly establish her utility.

[Wheaton's Whelp]

The surprisingly agile, potbellied goblin continues, to Garnet's dismay, to evade Garnet's claws. Panting heavily the potbellied goblin rushes once more at Garnet with a powerful swing of his scimitar.

Attack: Damage: [roll1] Crit Dice: [roll2]

If killed Garnet explodes for [roll3] fire damage. Gobbo Dex Save: [roll4] vs DC 10.

In a poof of steam the mephit explodes as the potbellied goblin's scimitar slices through the elemental. As the steam clears the gobln yells in victory: echos are heard from outside the windmill.

From her component pouch Erykah grabs a small pinch of sand and rose petals, cupping them in her hand and reciting a spell like a rhythmic lullaby. Opening her hand the sand and petals float away; the bowler-hat goblin, the tattooed goblin, and Qisira slowly slump into the plowed soil of the farm and drift to sleep. Qisira lays in the blood soaked soil, as she turns in her sleep it is revealed that one side of Qisira has reddened dirt stuck to her scales from the moisture.

Just to the north, Elcan swings his quarterstaff vertically while Shizuka thrusts forward with the point of her rapier. The bulbous end of the staff falls just to the right of the dress-wearing goblin as the goblin quickly dodges; however, the goblin moves straight into Shizuka's rapier. The blade piercing the leather armor lands through the heart, instantly dropping the florally fashioned goblin.

The pumpkin-haired goblin, still content with its spot behind the boulder, unleashes an arrow towards Shizuka as he sees the half-elf bounding towards her sleeping friends.

Attack: [roll5] Damage: [roll6] Crit Dice: [roll7]

Skillfully the arrow avoids the sleeping lot and strikes Shizuka square in the upper thigh. The goblin laughs a little, as the two share in the misery of similar wounds.

Near the windmill the filed-toothed goblin sees Erykah go prone, and see his opening. Rushing forward the goblin does a small jump off the boulder and performs a downward thrust towards Erykah's back.

Attack(with Adv due to prone): [roll8] or [roll]1d20+4 Damage: [roll9] Crit Dice: [roll10]

The added momentum carries the blade through the sorcerer's mage armor and cuts through the abdomen of Erykah. Wheezing out a coagulated clump of blood, Erykah falls unconscious.

Valor (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=1271991) steps over Erykah's prone form, unhooking his iron warhammer from his belt while he does, and attempts to drive her attacker away with a vicious swing to its face.

Attack [roll0] Damage [roll1]

[Wheaton's Whelp]

Elcan's arrow soars through the air and strikes the same thigh once more. Grimacing in pain the pumpkin-haired goblin re-steadies his leg beneath his body.

Valor rushes to Erykah's side, but his blow is met by the filed-toothed goblin's shield. Cocky after having felled Erykah, the goblin flashes his teeth at Valor, whispering "Ah, my next victim."

[Esprit15]

Shizuka grunts in pain as the arrow finds its way into her side. That can be dealt with later... Right now, she had to keep everyone standing. "Rise and shine, sleeping beauty," she says to the dragonborn at her feet, shaking Qisira awake before stepping over the rousing warrior and jogging over toward Erykah. "Hey sorceress! You don't get to shoot me with ice and then pass out! Get your ass up and fighting!"

Ravabella senses Garnet "die" and grumbles. While she's not sure, she's pretty sure Garnet's last sight was of the goblin dodging away from the blast of steam released upon the death of a steam mephit. She peers around cover and runs forwards a bit and summons Garnet once more. This time in a new form. Behind the goblin with pumpkin in it's hair there appears a drop of blood in the air and then the air ripples. A distorting shadow beneath nothing at all appears and then suddenly Garnet is there in the form of a small fungus person of some sort. As this occurs, Ravabella runs back to her cover.


Ravabella moves out of cover to summon Garnet (Vegepygmy), then runs back.

Qisira awakes with a snort

As Qisira props herself up, soil lightly dusts the surrounding goblins. Mid-yawn, Qisira lifts her longsword and stretches as the blade sinks effortlessly into flesh below a fancy bowler hat. With a flick of her wrist, and sword well lodged in the goblin's skull, the hat flies off the head of the goblin and is quickly snatched out of the air by Qisira.

Startled by the sudden presence of Garnet in her new form, the pumpkin-haired goblin whips around, throwing down his shortbow, brandishing a crude scimitar, and readying his shield, the goblin lashes out towards Garnet.

Attack: [roll0] Damage: [roll1] Crit Dice: [roll2]

Morphing around the blow, Garnet shifts the vegetative form around the sword.

Enthralled in combat with Valor, the filed-toothed goblin bashes away Valor's hammer and retaliates with lateral slice of his scimitar.

Attack: [roll3] Damage: [roll4] Crit Dice: [roll5]

From the windmill, the reddened-skinned, potbellied goblin views the scene unfolding outside. Terror builds and he throws down the scimitar and shortbow; running down the windmill's stairs he hides behind a rudimentary shield as he turns north and makes it behind a nearby boulder.

[Armored Walrus]

Valor (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=1271991) contemptuously ignores the goblin's feeble thrust, not even bothering to raise his shield to block it.

Ravabella notes that the goblin from the windmill is outside of Garnet's range of sight, so she ducks back out to take a look and sees the Potbellied goblin outside of Garnet's current form's effective range. So she has Garnet close in and takes a shot, the makes a heavy sounding "kerthunk" noise, at the goblin before ducking back behind the building for cover again.

Performing a side step, the filed-toothed goblin is able to avoid the force of Valor's hammer; however, preoccupied with the heavily armored cleric the goblin forgets about the previously unconscious sorcerer. Extending from Erykah's finger tips, streams of electricity fly into the filed-toothed goblin, causing him to clench down and bite into his gums.

Sword hanging in a hollow hole of Garnet's vegetative body, the pumpkin-haired goblin doesn't see Elcan approach from behind. Wielding his quarterstaff like a greatsword, the Firbolg attempts to lop off the goblin's head with an immense swing. The staff hits with such for that the goblins battered head flies off from the sheer force, landing amongst the pumpkins.

Ravabella's bolt catches in the wood of the potbellied goblin's shield has he peeks around the edge of the boulder.

[Esprit15]

Shizuka regards at the bodies with a look of satisfaction. Allies all conscious, enemies all slain- Wait a minute... No, there was one more. Hm, too far to hit. The half elf jogs forward, swapping her rapier for the trumpet she had been playing a few days ago, blowing a few quick notes that seem unintelligible to everyone save for the goblin.

Eyes white in rage the filed-toothed goblin maintains its onslaught towards Valor. Recovering from the shocking grasp of Erykah, the goblin once again lases out with its scimitar.

Attack: [roll0] Damage: [roll1] Crit Dice: [roll2]

Finding an opening, the scimitar slashes through exposed skin and muscle. Pulling the blade back the goblin licks the blood now covering the blade.

Positioning the bowler hat high upon her dome, Qisira strikes a pose as she pulls her greatsword from the now hat-less goblin. Turning around Qisira spots the tattooed goblin, chest pushing out and compressing back in has he softly breaths during his slumber. Positioning the blade over the goblin's sternum, Qisira leans into one of the goblin's inhales, puncturing the lungs and heart. Other than the releases of air from the filled lungs, the goblin lays quiet and forever still.

In his escape the potbellied goblin hears the voice of Shizuka speak, uttering a warning if he doesn't stop. Still in pain the potbellied goblin continues running.

The goblin doesn't understand the spell so you hear the goblin's thoughts, with it not knowing you can hear a whisper back. "Must run, they'll kill me!"

Running beneath the shield, the potbellied goblin is unaware Ravabella has come around the other side of the farmstead and fixed her aim. The bolt splinters as it crashes through the damaged wood of the shield, and pins the shield to the top of the goblin's head. Falling with a puff of dirt, the potbellied goblin lies motionless, blood spilling beneath the shield.

Entranced by the battle, the filed-toothed goblin's senses heightened, Elcan's thorn whip unwinds towards him, but with a slash of his blade the whip breaks apart before landing a hit. Thorns falling to the ground, the goblin turns back to Valor.

Valor greets his foe with another blow of his warhammer.

Attack [roll0] damage [roll1]

[Wheaton's Whelp]

Taking the hammer to the core, the filed-toothed goblin cries out, but remains standing. Hitting his scimitar against his shield, the goblin pumps himself back up to fighting condition.

[tieren]

Erykah centers herself, internally embarrassed by her flash of anger and loss of composure. She then casts a ray of frost at the filed toothed goblin whom she cursed earlier with her shocking grasp.

The beam of ice crashes against the goblin's shield, throwing the filed-toothed goblin against the nearby boulder with great force. Curving around the shield, the ice grows and begins to encompass the goblin's arm, then his chest, until finally his entire front facing side is coated in a slick of shimmering ice.

Looking around town, the party stands amongst the ramshackled corpses of the fallen goblins. Now eerily quiet without the sounding of the temple bell, the slight whistle of wind passing through the planted wheat is heard beneath the rhythmic creaking of the windmill. To the south, water can be heard splashing up against the damaged bridge.

Out of initiative now. Free form posting back up. I apologize, I forgot to roll a concentration check for Valor's bless when he got hit, I will do my best to remember those in the future!

[Armored Walrus]

Valor wipes the gore off the end of his hammer and makes a mental note to get some weapon oil on it before it rusts. He glances around at the carnage.

"We seem to have liberated the town," he says, breathing heavily. "I'm going to take a breather if you all don't mind, then I propose we look through these building and see if we can learn anything about what happened here."

Short rest everyone? Maybe hole up in one of the cleared buildings to do it?

[Esprit15]

"I can agree to that. Won't recover any of my magic, but I think some of use could really use it," Shizuka says, herself wincing as she carefully removes the arrow in her side and begins to bandage the wound.

"I think I'll check around just to make sure we're safe while the rest of you rest." Ravabella says, Garnet quickly scurrying over to her side and they begin to search the goblins for any valuables or useful equipment.

[tieren]

I'll join you.

Erykah joins Ravabella in the continuing search.

[Gluteus_Maximus]

"Uh, I have some unfinished business to take care of." Elcan says, and walks over to the trading post, where Gwert and Vilk hid. "Is this every one of your companions, Gwert?
If not, where are the rest?" He takes his staff away from Gwert, and has Vilk act as Gwert's support for his broken leg.

[Wheaton's Whelp]

When Elcan returns to the trading post, Jlik acknowledges his presence with a frown. Looking back to Gwert, Vilk finishes the make shift cast and sling for Gwert's broken leg. "So this means all my brethren are dead? Huh... well let us gather the dead at least."

Heading outside, Vilk begins to walk around to the various dead goblins. With tears filling his eyes, you hear Vilk utter "Larv... and Snokk. Poor Bilk and Filk, Longo... Yek." Noticing the placement of Yek, Vilk begins to shake with anger. Gritting his teeth, "That's most of us, but there is one missing from the massacre. Promise me their safety and I'll tell you where I saw them last."

As Vilk, gwert, and Elcan are going body to body, Ravabella and Erykah search the corpses as the goblins pass. Searching through, the two are able to find a small amount of loot.

Total wealth Found: 36 cp, 1 sp. Misc. Items (no trade value): 3 vials of purfume, a badly bent bronze goblet, and a small wooden cog from the windmill.

If you are taking a short rest to heal up, you will be occupied for an hour somewhere and can roll a hit dice to recover health. If you are looking to search town, the following places can be identified by signs and posts outside the various building. Indicate which area you'd like to search.

Various Guard Towers

[Armored Walrus]

Valor takes no interest in the negotiation with the remaining goblins, instead he wanders off to investigate. He peers at some of the boulders flung through the town, trying to learn what he can from them, then he will head into the cemetery and take a closer look at the Nandar headstone there.

[Wheaton's Whelp]

Standing before the Nander crypt, Valor is able to better view the inscriptions engraved into the marbled stone. Above the large stone seal covering the crypts entrance, is the Nander name in shining gold inlaid into the marble. On the seal, an inscription reads,

"Reader, I am to let thee know,
Nander's body only lies below;
For could the grave his soul comprise,
Earth would be richer than the skies."

Looking around the rest of the graveyard, you notice small tokens, candles, and flowers have been left near a number of tombstones. Near a freshly disturbed patch of soil and clean tombstone, the grave digger has left an iron hook and lantern hanging over.

"So how do you want to split this? Do your kind wear perfume? I have a feeling I wouldn't mind having some pretty soon." Ravabella asks Erykah as she searches the Hulvaarn Farm.

[Wheaton's Whelp]

As Ravabella approaches the home, she notices the sight of a worn, black boot poking out underneath the side of the large boulder within the center of the farm. Getting a little closer, the boot is attached to a twisted leg which disappears to nothing under the boulder. The leg appears, to your best guess, human, as the exposed skin is a sunburned-tan color.

Inside you see the home has been left in shambles by the scavenging goblins. You see a handful of sacks containing a recent harvest of potatoes and turnips. There is a single bed, of fair size and simple bedding, and in the rafters hang small-child sized hammocks: reachable by a ladder leaning against a far wall. Looking at the fireplace, you see a filled kettle of water was left, and the remains of a fire, long since extinguished, has left a pile of ash and soot. You gather any items of value were already taken by the goblins.

[tieren]

Surely none of this belongs to the goblins, we should gather whatever pillage we are able to recover from them and store it safely somewhere for when we return the villagers.

[Armored Walrus]

Valor checks around a little more in the cemetery.

Can I learn anything from the fresh grave? Is it human-sized, child-sized, any markings at all on the headstone? Any pattern to which graves have trinkets left near them? How big is the Nandar crypt? Large enough to contain anything other than a corpse? Does it have a door?

[Wheaton's Whelp]

Poking around the cemetary, Valor begins to inspect the graves one-by-one.

The fresh grave bears a tombstone with the name "Delfryndel" inscribed into the marble stone. The from the size of the moved soil, you suspect the dead was the size of a normal human. There are many variety of trinkets left about, and flowers ranging in species and color. No discernible pattern appears to be present. The Nander crypt is roughly 5 ft. wide by 7 ft. in length, with a vaulted top which comes to a point roughly 10 ft. in the air. At the front of the crypt is a solid stone seal, roughly 4 ft. wide by 8 ft. tall covering what you assume to be the entrance to the crypt.

"Ah. How humane of you. You make a fair point. I'll just leave these here then. Though I will take a couple of these vegetables so we're not eating rations our entire journey." Ravabella says and puts the copper and silver and perfume down next to the sacks of vegetables. She then takes out a sack and hands it to Garnet to hold and then puts in a few potatoes and turnips. Just enough for the sides for maybe two meals for the group. As they leave to the next building, Garnet lags behind and puts the silver and copper and perfume in the sack and will surreptitiously give them to Ravabella while they search the next building (the Stable) and Erykah isn't looking her way.

Edit: Noting that Ravabella doesn't keep the bronze goblet or the wooden cog.

[Wheaton's Whelp]

The large double-doors to the barn hang ajar; inside the sounds of horses chewing hay and moving about on straw echo out. Peering in, Ravabella can see another boulder has crashed through the center of the ceiling and fallen into the largely empty, open middle of the stables. Fortunately, none of the horses appear to have been injured.

The barn has a dirt floor. Five draft horses and five riding horses are confided to wooden stalls which line the north and south walls. Hanging on the walls are various bits, bridles, and an assortment of saddles. There is an upper loft, accessible by ladders to the north and south, above the wooden stables.

The goblin will fire at Ravabella with its shortbow (potentially with Adv depending on perception/stealth rolls): Attack: [roll5] or [roll6] Damage: [roll7] Crit Dice: [roll8].

The arrow flies past Ravabella and strikes into the wooden door behind her. Looking up she see the pointed ears of another goblin poking out from behind a bale of hay.

[Gluteus_Maximus]

"Hey, Gwert, would you please tell me where your cave is? Any secret entrances, any treasure rooms? Also, do you know anything that your Boss would take in exchange for the villagers?" Elcan asks with a smile, and puppydog eyes when he says "please".
Persuasion: [roll0]

[Wheaton's Whelp]

Gwert looks at Elcan and, still under the charm spell, is all too willing to provide any information Elcan wishes. "The cave is to the north west of town, a bit more than a mile away. If you skirt the edge of the forest you'll find the cave's opening. Don't go into the woods, the Elves don't treat intruders kindly. We goblins are fairly new to the cave, we've only explored bits of it... so I don't thinks there's secrets."

Vilk stares suspiciously at Gwert, as the goblin being so loose lipped catches him off guard.

Gwert continues, "Boss Hark is tough to predict, but not unreasonable... mostly. The villagers are a reliable source of food for the time being. And... we aren't allowed in the boss' treasure room, only the boss."

[tieren]

If Erykah can get line of sight on the goblin 8n the hayloft she'll try a frostbite cantrip then srep back so as not to present a target.

Hearing the sound of combat and spellcasting, Valor quickly stands up from where he had been on one knee, inspecting the fresh grave. Gauging the distance to where he can hear the sounds coming from, he assumes he will be too late to affect the outcome of any battle, but begins sprinting that direction anyway.

Going to Dash toward the combat.

Not expecting something to be attacking her, Ravabella fires back at the foe, only realizing it's another goblin after the bolt is loosed. She then quickly attempts to retreat out of the building or at least take cover while Garnet goes to climb up a ladder and perhaps get into melee with it if it still lives.

Startled by the thud of the fired arrow, Ravabella lets a bolt fly from her heavy crossbow. The sturdy shaft of the bolt embeds itself into the exposed portion of the goblin's skull, and the goblin falls from the upper loft into the opening below.

Checking the goblin's body reveals a small wooden box with the Golden Lions of the Lionshield Coster, the same as displayed out front of the trading post, emblem burned into the top hatch. Checking inside the box contains ten silvered darts.

Ravabella finds the box on the body, and during the investigation after doesn't find anything of note.

[Armored Walrus]

Valor bursts into the barn, warhammer in hand. He looks around, breathing heavily. "Ah, I see you've got it sorted out. Great. Uh, if you don't mind m'Lady, it's probably best for us to begin regathering the group."

Valor will stay near Ravabella until the group is done exploring and we move on to something else.

[Gluteus_Maximus]

"Okay, Vilk, would you mind following me? I have something to show you... You might want it." Elcan says, finding a chair for Gwert to sit in, as he doesn't have any good support for his broken leg.

Walking over to a convenient boulder Qisira pulls a hipflask out and takes a small nip of Whiskey before settling down for a short rest.
