Jaliera

Her heart is beating fast, her eyes darting around trying to work out who needs help the most... and see a goblin attack Davroar whilst he is defenceless. That spikes her anger and she targets it without a second thought.


To hit: 1d20+5 = 17
Damage: 1d6+3 = 7

[I didn't realise you add your proficiency bonus to hit rolls! Probably would've hit that goblin twice. C'est la vie. Let's try my luck a second time.]

Chandan

The greybeard grunted as the goblin lunged, thrusting its sword at his belly. He caught the tip of the blade in his fist, but it still drove his own hand back into his midrift with an "Ooof!"

Well, that's the drunken fury taken right out of Chandan! He spins, whipping the spear around, intent on getting the Nine Hells out of there and seemingly ignorant of where the spearpoint is going...

Oblivious to the goblin behind him, he glances around for his companions. What are they doing fighting!? They should run for their lives!

He scrambles over to Karok, to grab the dwarf and drag him away to safety. (Chandan knows how stubborn dwarves can be, but it's for Karok's own good.)

If he makes it to the dwarf, he falters when he sees the ferociousness of the goblin, trips, and flies forehead first into the goblin's face.

[Attack with spear. Hit roll 23 in total. Damage 9 total.
Move.
Unarmed bonus attack. Hit roll 22 in total. Damage 4 total.

OK, so the +5 to hit didn't really make any difference there. But still, that's more like it! Thank you official D&D Dice Roller!]

Kriv

Turning from the smouldering corpse, he span on his heels, looking arond for further threats. Karok seemed to have his in hand, the one menacing the healer and tiefling had just sprouted an arrowshaft, which left the one that had just stabbed Chandan. He strode towards it, already drawing back his maul, but aiming to cripple and incapacitate rather than kill. After all, they needed one for questioning.

Well, most of one.

He swung the massive hammer at the scrawny little thing's leg at the knee...

Kriv Attacking, intending to incapacitate rather than kill
AJ rolled 1d20+5 and got 25(!).
Kriv Critical hit damage, GWF rerolls 1s or 2s

Kriv Great Weapon Fighting rerolls
AJ rolled d6,d6 and got 5, 6. 5+6+6+5+3=25 damage.

Kallista

Groaning her eyes open to see Davroar above her. She nods to him in thanks, only to see him stagger as a Goblin stabs at him from behind.

**No time for pleasantries!** She thinks.

Standing up (takes half her move), she is about to attack that Goblin when an arrow from Jaliera hits it and it falls to the ground (Nep - Making an assumption here so I can post. If I am wrong I will edit).

Turning, she locates the furthest Goblin who is firing his bow that she can see and gestures very briefly in his direction. A moment later she speaks a word and points at that same Goblin.

First, using a Bonus Action to cast Hex on that Goblin. No attack roll necessary. Automatically hits anyone she targets that she can see. She gains an additional 1d6 damage on any attack on a target she has "Hexed", and if it drops she can move it to a new target with another Bonus Action. She can also give it Disadvantage on any Ability Checks it makes for a Statistic she chooses (choosing Dex) for the duration of the spell (Concentration up to 1 hour).

Next, casting Eldritch Blast at the Goblin she Hexed.

Kallista Eldritch Blast
Zeim rolled 1d20+5 and got 14 (expect it missed)
Kallista Eldritch Blast - damage
Zeim rolled 1d10,1d6 and got 1, 4


After firing her Eldritch Blast, she moves to the cover of the wagon (or as close as she can get with the other half of her move).

DM note: By the time you are ready to attack that goblin, he's dead. There is one goblin (the one in the trees) ahead of you that is unharmed. He's your only legit target.

Karok

His method of healing was different than perhaps these others were used to. He preferred to get rid of attackers first and heal afterwards, plus he certainly wasn't going to pass up a chance to smack around a goblin who'd tried to kill him.

After blocking his attack with his shield, he rounded hard with a swing of his warhammer, powered by years at a forge.

Karok Swings Warhammer at Goblin
Nivek rolled d20+6 and got 11 (Assuming miss)


Once again calling on his God's power he swings again.

War domain: Bolts of Inspiration (2/3) bonus action to get another attack.

Nivek rolled d20+6 and got 16 (Assume hit?)

The last set of attacks by the goblins would, indeed, be their last. Once the fight got fair, and the goblins no longer had the benefit of surprise, they fell quickly.

Kriv destroys the legs of that one last goblin. He's alive but rendered harmless.

ooc: Without the use of tactical map it's so difficult for PC's to understand what's going on. I'm unlikely to do it again unless if there's more than one or two enemies. Tactical maps
really do help. What are you doing now?????

(OOC - OK, so no Goblins left to fight, correct?)

Kallista

Stepping away form the wagon as the last Goblin is taken down by Karok, she notes with satisfaction that it is alive.

"My thanks, Davroar. I am in your debt." She says seriously to the Druid.

She then walks over to the dead horses that originally attracted their attention and examines them. She thought they looked familiar.

Kriv

The Dragonborn loomed over the crippled Goblin, idly reaching down and pulling out the embedded arrows from his flesh, one after the other, not a flicker of discomfort on his reptilian features. He let them clatter to the ground beside him, and crouched down, bringing his toothy maw ever closer. When he spoke, it was barely louder than a whisper, but laden with venom.

"You attacked us without warning. That was a very, very stupid thing to do. Why did you do it? Did someone tell you to? You're going to tell me, or you aren't going to die. I will break every one of your limbs, and leave you next to those rotting horses for your wounds to fester over the coming days, tendays and even months if you last that long. If I do not hear the truth from you now, I will hear your screams behind me for several miles, until your throat is too raw to be heard. Choose."

Jaliera

There is a feeling of elation as the goblin she had targeted fell over. Still fired up she looks around but all the goblins apart from the one by Kriv lay still.

She takes a deep breath. She now becomes aware of other things. The unpleasant smell of burning, the trembling in her legs, the pain in her shoulder. Everything that just happened hits home and her stomach churns. She leans over the side of the wagon and throws up.

Karok

He kicks the goblin as it falls. Then turns around to look for the next one. When he sees none, he does notice the little human girl sicking up by the wagon.

He ambles over to her.

"Are ye alright lass? Need some healing?"

She looks up at the voice, blushing at her behaviour but glad it is Karok. She smiles weakly at him and nods.

Kallista definitely can tell the dead horses are the very same ones that Gundren and his escort were riding. There is no sign of either of them. An empty leather map case lies on the ground nearby. Each Goblin carries a scimitar and scabbard as well as a short bow and quiver of 20 arrows. They have no money.

ooc:
1) Can I get an intimidation roll for Kriv?

2) Gypsy, with a constitution of 10 that's surprising. I would've made you do a constitution check first <g>

"Hey." She calls back to the group. "These were the horses Gundren and that human...., um, Sildar, wasn't it, were riding! Looks like these Goblins attacked them too!"

She holds up the leather case. "Nothing left in their saddlebags but I did find this empty map case. Wonder what Gundren had a map to?"

Chandan

Clutching his bloody hand in his armpit, he hobbles over to stand by Kriv and stare at the goblin.

Assuming that the creature is doomed, Chandan sings a Yehimal mountain dirge, usually preceding a sky burial, when the remains of the dead are dismembered and tenderised for the condors to feed on.

It's possible that the Dragonborn doesn't understand the correct order (death, dismember, then tenderise), but Chandan sings the dirge anyway.

He isn't a good singer.

Davroar

He did not even see his goblin attacker as it came up behind him as he was casting his spell. Its sword sliced him good and deep through his armour. Thankfully, Jaliera took the goblin down with a expertly aimed arrow before it could take a second strike.

Through his pain, he slowly realizes the rest of the goblins are killed. Taking a couple of steps towards the wagon, he finds the pain too much and slowly lowers himself to the ground. Taking off his pack, he hunts for a old shirt that is somewhat clean. He will need to stop the bleeding, as he fumbles with his belts and ties to undo his armour with slightly shaking hands.

AJ, terrific intimidation roll. Make another one. I give you advantage because he's all alone and very wounded.

Kallista

As she turns back to tell the others what she found on the horses, she sees Davroar slump down clutching his side.

**Idiot! So thankful for the healing he gave you you never even stopped to see if he was alright.**

She rushes back to the druid and kneels down next to him.

"Here, let me." She says, taking the shirt from his hands and pressing it to the wound until the bleeding stops.

Davroar

Muttering a few choice curses through clenched teeth, he manages to give Kallista a weak smile and says, "Thanks. Looks like it's stopped now."

Slowly standing up he cinches his armour back up and says, "Did I hear you right? The horses are Gundren's and his man?"

She helps him stand, nodding. "Yes. I am certain. No sign of them though, other than this map case. Looks like the horses are dead about a day."

Davroar

"Nothing hidden in the case, Kallista?"

If there is nothing here, then it looks like the one goblin that Kriv and Chandan have caught will be their only clue to finding out what happened to Gundren.

"Yes. No way to tell what it could have been. Maybe where he was going to meet his brothers. Maybe just a map of the area." She shrugs. "No way to tell. Unless he", she nods towards the Goblin captive, "knows."

Goblin
The goblin, in obvious pain, cowers from Kriv as the dragonborn stands over him.

"No kill Gurgul. No kill I."

It seems quite ready to answer questions and conveniently it speaks broken common.
