Huw Rhysson HP: 4/6 AC: 4 Huw lets out a scream as the goblin's blade pierces his side, and swung his axe... 1d6 roll: 1d6 1 If initiative, I have +1 Dex. Or is this surprise? Attack: 1d20 3 Um, +1 from STR means it's really a 4?  ... but the nimble goblin dodges the blow easily.

Wyndham HP 2 | AC 5 The halfling hurriedly unravelled the sling from his belt, hands shaking with excitement. "Well, I was going to suggest we head west," he smiles. "But this is much more fun!" Initiative 1d6 (+2 for dexterity son) 1 Missile Attack 1d20 (+1 for being a halfling, +2 dex) 23 Hits AC...anything? Wyndham whips a stone that sails over the crowd and slams into a goblin's gruesome visage for... Damage 1d4 4  -1 sling stone from inventory

Godfrey HP 1/3 As his blood pools on the ground, Godfrey's fervor increases. He hadn't expected the gods to call him home quite so quickly. Glory be! "Glory to the first man to die!" Grimacing in pain, he lets a stone fly true, dealing some righteous wrath to a goblin. initiative: 1d6 6 sling stone: 1d20 16 1d4 3 Hit AC4 for 3 damage.

Amelaide Florantha Starfall Elf: Veteran-Medium, Level 1, HP: 2/2, XP: 0 (+5%), GP: 10 + 60 - 3 (lodgings) = 68 Ame let out a small yelp when the goblins rounded the corner, which is probably why everyone was too busy looking at her to guard against the first round of blows. Oh, jeeze, this was bad! Initiative: 1d6 5 But her bow was handy, and so she peeked over a few shoulders and let loose an arrow, aiming for the closest goblin's eye. Bow Attack: 1d20 6 The arrow went wide, though, burying itself firmly into the wall of the passage, and she let out an exasperated sound as the monsters closed in on their group and the sounds of battle broke out.

Godfrey init.: 6 Taking serious damage, you take your sling and return the favor. A stone flies right into the face of the Goblin that had stabbed Gale and you watch the wretched creature fall backwards in death. Roger init.: 6 With individual initiative, Missile combat doesn't occur first necessarily(at least that's my understanding of the rules  , feel free to correct), but I'm also thinking about doing away with individual initiative and just taking party rolls.A battle breaking out, you draw your long bow and send an arrow flying at a goblin. It lands in its foot causing it to yelp out in pain. Amelaide init.: 5 You see your arrow embed itself in a crack in the stone walls flying past ally and foe. Gale init.: 5 Recovering from your stagger, you go to cut the goblin who had injured you only to see it catch a stone right in the center of its face. The damage was lethal. Adrian init.: 3 As the sudden battle picks up in intensity and you see your allies become injured, you decide to put a halt to this with a spell. You cast Sleep and all the red-eyed goblins left alive in the hall slump to the ground. --- The battle comes to an end, and the Castle remains silent cept' for the snores of Goblins slumped into misshapen piles on the ground in front of you. One not so lucky with a stone embedded in its face.  What do you do? --- GM Notes I followed the course of combat by initiative and did the rolling for any tied scores to determine order. After Adrian cast's sleep the combat ends and the creatures drift into magical sleep for an unknown duration of time(that I have rolled for) Those of you whose actions were halted by Sleep. Be sure to update your inventory to reflect that you did not lose ammo! Idle Amalgam fucked around with this message at 15:54 on Apr 2, 2014 |

Wyndham Disappointed, Wyndham returns his unused sling to his belt. "I suppose that was quite impressive, magician. Give someone else a chance next time though, eh?" He leans through the group and prods one of the dozing goblins. "I vote we carry on to the east. Perhaps this motley crew were guarding something?"

Roger "Hold a moment, please." Roger checks first to see if his arrow is salvageable, then takes out his rope and begins tying the goblins together, using the most cunning and tricky knots he had learned as a mercenary. "Best we ensure these little beasties don't ambush us when they awaken, eh?"

Conrad "A brother of mine would say the best way would be to slay them all as they sleep. I'm glad you don't share his view on that." Conrad is also decidedly looking away from anyone who decides to take their purses. He knows how this works. "Huw, it's your call as to whether you switch out for someone unwounded for now. Sara, same for you. As for right now, I suggest taking on the room to our left and clearing it. It's better to be systematic about these things."

Roger You retrieve your rope and proceed to bind the goblins to one another so that they do not go free when they awake. Please make an intelligence check for your general skill use. Also since you bound them, you find 15 electrum, 27 silver and 32 copper on the goblins that you can share how you see fit. --- GM Notes I elected not to have you pick (Optional)General Skills, instead you can try anything and you will simply roll 1d20 with the appropriate modifier to handle actions not implicitly covered by your class. Should you have questions about the roll, I'll let you know what you need to roll with.

Huw Rhysson "Good work on that Sleep spell, Roger. Conrad, I think I will step aside for a little bit, but looks to me like whichever direction we head, it'll be single file. Also, I speak a little Goblin, we could try interrogating one of these wretches, see if they've any information?" As the rest of the group discuss the next steps, Huw examines his surroundings... Detection: 1d6 5 ...sees nothing unusual.

Huw Rhysson You don't notice anything out of the ordinary about your surroundings. The walls, ceiling and floors are all stonework, probably no more than four or five decades old(and of amateur human craftsmanship, no doubt). The doors simply sturdy and heavy oak. Outside of that, nothing seems out of place.

Amelaide Florantha Starfall Elf: Veteran-Medium, Level 1, HP: 2/2, XP: 0 (+5%), GP: 68, Arrows = 19 As the goblins got bound and tied and their fates were discussed, Amelaide studied the hideous creatures. She even moved to touch one. "They're gross. But Huw's right. They probably know something useful. It looks like they're living here, so maybe they could help us fill out the map a bit more. And maybe anything that heard the noise will come to us, right? Isn't that what the books say, get your enemy to attack you?" And then, before she could work up the courage to actually touch the thing, it let out a grunt in its sleep, and Ame jumped and let out a small, scared sound, scrambling backwards.

Wyndham Wyndham bites his lip in thought. "They might be able to tell us more about the castle," he says, "Or they may just awaken ready to fight. I am also unsure as to how long we will have to wait for the magician's spell to wear off and for these...gross creatures to wake up. We could be here for hours! That's valuable looting time!" He pauses. "That, and more goblins could come looking for their friends. What are we going to do about these shrinking hallways? Are we going to split up and each group take a different route, or shall we just proceed single file in one direction?"

Group You stand at the entrance of the large hallway, the goblins securely bound. In the minutes that pass, you discuss how to proceed and recover from the unexpected from the battle. One rounds worth of time(10 minutes) has passed. @ProfessorCirno: That arrow is salvageable. Also while the goblins swords are useless, there are two quivers of arrows(10 arrows each). --- Loot Discovered Track

Conrad I took the liberty of adding the coins to a bag for now, we'll divvy them up later. I'll take the encumbrance hit. I'm also editing the recruit post directly for updates. "We should not split the party. I suggest we clear the rooms to our left and right, single file if necessary. That order is as good as any, and it helps to know our exit is secure if we need to hurry away. And if someone does attack our rear, Sir... our archer is there." Was his name Robilar? Damnable memory.

Adrian Miros Adrian looks guilty as he answers Wyndham. "I'm sorry. I thought they were dangerous. I can't cast the spell again unless I take the time to study it, though, so next time, you'll get your chance to fight whoever we run into." He thinks. "I think we should focus on the doors to our left and right first before we go down the hallway. Who knows if there's something in one of them that could block our escape if we ignore it? Is there anyone who can check the doors, see if they're locked or trapped or anything? If these goblins have been using this as a base, they might have booby trapped it against intruders."

Godfrey HP 1/3 Grunting, Godfrey removes the arrow from his arm, snapping the head off where it had pierced through and pulling the shaft back through the wound. He then set about wrapping the wound. The whole experience looked excruciating, but he gritted his teeth and bore it well. Still, Godfrey looked pale, and likely had lost too much blood to be of use in battle. "Good man, Roger. Let us clear these side doors, then, and ensure we are not trapped here in a rear attack."

Olaf Helmsplitter Olaf blinks as the whole thing is over before he gets a chance to even ready his weapon. Well he can wet his blade in the next batch. And perhaps it was premature to use such a spell on a simple batch of goblins, but Olaf is not about to bring it up, can't help a man being anxious at his first sight of a swarm of goblins.

First, you visit the room on the left.  --- This room appears to have once been used as a dining room. There are tables and benches scattered throughout the room, many turned on their sides or upside down. Everything is covered with cobwebs. What do you do?

"I guess this is just a dingy old castle, then, huh? Lost rooms, inches of dust, maybe a few clanging suits of armor, and just some unsavories living here? Let's go check the other room, I guess."

Gale You look through the overturned tables and find a sack containing several coins. It feels surprisingly lumpy for a sack of coins. --- Group Determining that the room was of little value to the overall goal, you designate it cleared and proceed across the hall to the other room. The goblins still slept, slouched over in the rope prison that Roger had made for them. Conrad You continue to mark your map as you move along the castle.  --- You push open the door to the right and find yourselves facing four additional goblins who look absolutely terrified to see you. They are seemingly arguing over two large piles of coin on the floor. They look at you cautiously, but do nothing and shriek at you in goblinese. --- those of you who understand goblin "Ack! Adventurer's come to claim this castle... this is it, we're dead!!!" ---  What do you do?

Olaf Helmsplitter Olaf is torn. On the one hand letting goblins go? What madness! Yet on the other hand, gold.....mmmm gold. He is not sure if he can trust the goblins to leave without setting up a trap, but at least some of them clearly want to get out of there alive and are willing to give up any treasure they found. Finally he gruffly grumbles, "get to it before someone changes their mind." Eh we could have probably used the practice, then again the last batch of goblins nearly killed some of us. And well this way we get some gold, without expending any resources. Ryuujin fucked around with this message at 17:23 on Apr 3, 2014 |

Group The goblins begin to carefully approach the exit of the room, navigating cautiously around your large group. They paid little attention to the murmur's about their friends, until they see them bound together in the hall. One lying dead. The goblin who seems to be leading this group of rebels looks surprised when Huw addresses them in the goblin tongue. goblinese "Wh- Of course, friend who let us live, friend who get help!" The other goblins scowl at his eagerness to help, but don't do anything to stop them taking in full the size of your party and seeing their allies defeated. goblinese "Castle big and hold more than goblin. Kobolds, bandits and beasts even! Us goblin like to stay around the front, going around scraping up whatever shinies we can find. Ig show Goblin hiding spots."  The goblin carefully walks to the edge of the hall and points towards the eastern corridor identifying three rooms. "Wif us gon', rooms empty. Not much in rooms, but room straight ahead have strange statue. Always feel like ig be watched." "Ig no waste time, we leave, Ig promise." All in all, the goblins were hoarders who were none too bright. After getting all you can from them, Ig and the other goblins in the guard room you entered wake up the sleeping goblins that they could, and those still under the effects of the spell are dragged away. In a few moments, they are gone from the castle. --- In the empty guard room A large bounty of coins sits on the floor, coppers and silvers. Also a red gem sits on the floor. (3000cp, 4000sp, one gem) --- Loot Track
--- At this point about 40 to 50 minutes(4-5 noncombat rounds total) have passed since you entered the castle. The goblins have cleared out, but they indicated that more than goblins occupied the castle. They couldn't go into too many details as they seemingly only occupied the area towards the front of the castle. Ig also pointed out that directly ahead(to the east) is a room containing a peculiar statue. What do you do? --- GM Notes Sorry for crude map at work and limited to MS Paint.
