He tries to scramble up on the rubble to avoid being swept away again, tossing the torch up on the rubble and stuffing his light stone in his pocket as he climbs.
OK, so first thing is Balthazar is able to climb the rock scree and avoid the flood. Lumimorn ran ahead and the other three made it up on to the bridge. So no one is washed away. Lingo managed to also hold onto the torch so there is light in addition to the two lights Balthazar has.
Next. No one spotted the Goblin. The Goblin also did not spot Lingo, so in round 1 the Goblin gets to attack, but can't attack Lingo. So....
Goblin Attack Bern Zeim rolled d20+4 and got 6 , and he misses.
Lingo holds on to the torch, so dim torch light reaches Lumimorn, allowing him to see. It does not come from behind him, as he might expect though. Rather it comes from a tunnel leading off from the west out of the larger cave he finds himself in after charging ahead. The light just barely reaches the edge of the rock wall a few feet past where Lumimorn stands, so he can't see the two Goblins in the room. If Lingo advances down the tunnel on his turn, or the Goblins close with Lumimorn, that may change. Otherwise he can hear them moving and under the "Blind" rules he can attack them with Disadvantage if they remain in the dark when it is his turn.
Reaching the top of the scree, he turns to look and see if his companions are safe and then spots the goblin. Leaving the torch on the ground, he prepares to cast his fire cantrip as soon as he could.
He had been so focused on getting Lingo up he had not seen the vermin coming up behind. Well at least the damned thing missed. He pulled his rapier and attacked.
Bern kill goblin w/ rapier MikeD rolled d20+5,d8+5 and got 6, 9 and missed as well <sigh>
Just as Bern turns to confront the Goblin that had attempted to stab him in the back, a bolt of fire comes flying over his right shoulder, barely missing his ear. It strikes the Goblin in the chest, flinging him back into the wall, where he collapses, dead.
(Ghosting for Neptune in case he's on the beach)
Lingo then grins at the dead Goblin, and Bern, and rushes past them both. He enters the room where Lumimorn is, drops the torch on the floor (which now illuminates the entire room), grabs his bow and fires at one of the Goblins, but misses.
Lingo Attack Goblin Zeim rolled d20+3,d6+3 and got 12, 7
New map posted below. Small yellow star is the torch Lingo dropped. Bern is up, followed by the Goblins.
Bern rushes into the cavern where Lumimorn and Lingo went to and stops where Lingo dropped his torch to fire an arrow at the Goblins, but misses. The two Goblins pull their scimitars and charge across the rock wall to attack Lumimorn, screaming a battle cry. One misses badly, but the other strikes true (Crit!) Lumimorn takes 10 points of damage.
Goblins Attack Lumimorn Zeim rolled d20+2,d20+2 and got 5, 22
Lumimorn then Ryssa goes, and then we are back to the top of the order with Balthazar Lingo, and Bern.
Note: Ryssa may want to wait for Lumimorn's action to see if Lumimorn is still up before acting. Also, for Balthazar, the ropes Bern, Ryssa, and Lingo used to get up on top of the bridge are still there. It will take an Acrobatics check to climb, DC 10, and he can only get partway up the rope this turn. Or he can run down the hallway like Lumimorn did. If he uses the "Dash" action he can make it all the way to the room, but gets no attack.
Lingo He drops his bow, grabs the hilt of his short sword and slashes at the goblin in front of him. The sneaky halfling uses Luminmorn to hide behind as he does so.
Zeim, I have full internet access but I'm headed out for a day-long excursion with the boys so here's my move in advance....
Lingo attack with sneak damage with shortsword Neptune rolled 1d20+5,1d6+3,1d6 and got 10, 8, 4
Seeing all of his companions disappearing into the cavern beyond where he can not help, he takes out the light stone and races along the tunnel to find his way to them, arriving at the cavern.
Arrow nocked and bow at the ready, the cleric moved forward with the intention of killing a goblin, but when she saw the dragon-born take the serious wound, she ran forward and up behind Bern as close to the paladin as she could get, putting her bow and arrow away as she ran.
She thought of a paladin's ability to heal, but the wound looked so nearly mortal that she thought she had to act immediately.
[OOC: Can she reach past (or squeeze past) Bern to touch Luminmorn and cast Cure Wounds upon him?]
(OOC - Remember you can always move "thru" an ally's square, you just can't stop there. So Ryssa can move thru Bern to the square directly above him, from where she is adjacent to Lumimorn. You may want to wait for Lumimorn to go first though, to see if he wants healing. He is ahead of you in the order anyway.)
[OOC: Is Lay on Hands (Paladin Heal) an action? IE instead of attacking? Oh and the goblins get to attack Luminmorn before he can do much of anything. ;)]
[OOC: That's what I was wondering about... that, if the goblins attack him before he gets to do anything and if they get another critical hit, Ryssa just might not have anything left to heal.]
Pande - No. Lumimorn goes right after the Goblins (see the Initiative order). Several others have jumped their turns. I am waiting for you before I resolve Ryssa, Bern, Lingo, OR Balthazar's last action.
On your Lay-on-Hands question, Yes, it is an action.
OK - Ryssa goes. Everyone else I have your moves and I'll resolve after Ryssa's action. Ryssa has moved up to the square right above Bern, and behind the stalagmite.
BTW - It is not a problem if you go out of turn (especially if you are away), however you may end up needing to change your action and repost if the actions of the person/s in front of you have changed the situation by the time your turn actually rolls around.
The cleric moved past Bern and took up position behind the stalagmite. Holding her holy icon in her left hand, she murmured a healing prayer to Lathander, The Even-Handed as she reached out and touched the dragonborn.
Almost immediately a light blue glow appeared around Luminmorn's wound and it began to heal.
Lumimorn, ignoring his wound, stands his ground and swings at the Goblin who struck him. However his wound may have affected his attack more than he expected as he misses badly.
A moment later, Ryssa steps up into the space beyond Bern and seeing the blood dripping down Luminorn's side, she touches him and invokes Lathander's healing touch. A brisk influx of cool healing flows from her fingers into Lumimorn, completely closing the slash in his side.
Bern draws a bead on the Goblin who hit Lumimorn and his arrow flies true, staggering the Goblin but not killing it. Lingo tries to stab it with his short sword but misses.
Finally Balthazar hustles up the corridor, appearing in the room above Ryssa.
The Goblin attack Lumimorn again, both striking at him with their swords, but the appearance of re-enforcement, and the fact they now no longer outnumber their foe, the preferred situation for Goblins to fight, both of their attacks miss.
Lumimorn now goes followed by Ryssa.
