So. We will go in initiative order and I'll let you each know who you can attack. First is the Wolf. It rushes around the stalagmite at the closest party member it sees, Lingo, and attacks.....
Wolf Attack Lingo w/surprise Zeim rolled d20+4 and got 5 Wolf Attack Lingo Zeim rolled d20+4 and got 7
..... and misses.
Next up we have Ryssa (who can only attack Goblin #1 or Goblin #3, who both have 1/2 cover from the boxes, or the Wolf who has come out of hiding). Bern can also go (who can only attack Goblin #1 or Goblin #3, who both have 1/2 cover from the boxes, or the Wolf who has come out of hiding).
After they go the Goblins go. #2 has surprise on all of you. #1 & #3 have surprise on all but Ryssa and Bern.
(So I agree you should be able to attack the Wolf once it comes out of hiding. I think we agreed on that earlier. Edited the options above.
Neptune, I believe, is trying the option of a Party surprise roll where everyone is either surprised or not. I am trying the option of individual surprise where you are surprised/surprise specific creatures depending on each individual's roll. Comments in OOC are welcome.)
Ryssa fires an arrow at the Wolf which sinks deeply into it's side, eliciting a howl of pain, which is cut off abruptly as Bern sinks his rapier into it's side.
The three Goblins stand up and hurl javelins at the group, one at Bern, one at Lumimorn, and one at Ryssa.....
Attack on Ryssa misses, attack w/advantage on Lumimorn hits for 5 damage, attack on Bern misses.
Next up are Balthazar, Lingo, and Lumimorn. All enemies are visible except the Bugbear. Goblins have 1/2 cover. Lingo is hidden from all foes, and also can't see the Bugbear.
The halfling will delay taking action, staying hidden until such a time that an ally engages an attacker physically and is unable to put it away. When that happens, he will fire an arrow from his bow at that enemy.
Lingo attacks wolf with sneak dice Neptune rolled 1d20+5,1d6+3,1d6 and got 22, 7, 4 (yeah, he was going to attack the wolf when I rolled but he'll use it as described above.
Balthazar is in the back and can barely see the goblins but knows the generally area. Concentrating, he casts forth a spell of sleep on the goblins in the far back of the room.
Spell affects 5d8 hit points = 27 hit points worth.
Lingo readies his bow, watching to see if any of his allies don't kill a Goblin with their attack so he can finish it off.
Balthazar waves his hand, scattering some sand in the air and chanting some words that are hard to remember. All 3 of the Goblins drop to the ground, snoring. (BTW, as luck would have it you came within 1 point of also putting Lumimorn to Sleep).
As the Goblins drop to the ground, there is a sudden sound of scattering gravel and trash to the west that gets softer and fades away.
No enemies remain to fight. You have 3 sleeping Goblins, marked by "X", on the map.
The room is filled with supplies, boxes and crates, likely stolen from earlier travelers on the road through similar Goblin ambushes to what happened to you.
He notes the now snoring goblins and walking over he sticks the one that shot him, through the throat. The other two can be used or killed as they will. But he is down right tired of being a goblin pincushion.
Only then will he see to the arrow and its removal. "So further exploring across the bridge, or rest now?" He thinks he knows the answer to that question but he felt he had to ask it in any case.
"Let me attend to that wound," the cleric said, making a tsk-tsk noise as she bandaged it quickly. It was not as bad as the others the dragonborn had suffered recently, but...
"You really need to stop getting stuck like this," she said, grinning briefly at him.
"Let's search these little beggars and then be off, I suppose."
Lingo He doesn't hesitate. With a dagger drawn he walks from one sleepy goblin to the next and slits their throats casually and then stops and wipes the blood from it before sheathing the blade. He then takes the torch and starts searching the place for stuff.
(OOC - You briefly hear scree and trash rattling and sliding. It's up to you to decide how to interpret. You never saw anyone else in the room other than the Goblins and Wolf, who are all accounted for. You can certainly search near where the sounds came from if you like.)
The 'sounds' that came from the west caught his attention. There shouldn't have been any since the wolf had come from there ... unless there was something else over there. He moved over to investigate.
[[ lemme know if you want any 'rolls' to find stuff. otherwise I will 'guess' that someone/something left down the garbage shute <g> ]]
Lingo and Lumimorn kill the sleeping Goblins. Ryssa bandages Lumimorn's Javelin wound and Bern moves across the room to the western end to investigate the sounds that came from there.
Searching around, Bern can see that there is a chute hidden behind the stalagmites. It is surrounded by piles of trash and loose rock that shows signs of having been recently disturbed. It is very easy to make the leap of logic that this is the other end of the tube in the Wolf Den below, and someone, or something, just passed through it.
Lingo and Ryssa begin searching the dead Goblins and the boxes and crates. The dead Goblins have nothing on them. Most of the boxes, barrels, bags, and crates are marked with a symbol in the image of a Blue Lion. They appear to be supplies from earlier Goblin ambushes.
Lingo and Ryssa make Perception and Insight Checks.
(OOC - Note - If Balthazar and Lumimorn are also searching, let me know and you can also make Perception and Insight Checks.)
"I must thank you again. When we are done with this excursion, I will have to make a tithe to your patron." He makes no mention of having to say a prayer or two to his own god.
Seeing the others search, he will join them.
Natural 20 on Perception, 14 on Insight. Luminmorn Perception, Insight Pandemonium rolled d20,d20+2 and got 20, 14
Ex - Your roll is incorrect. I am going to post the correct method of determining a skill roll in the OOC thread. You have a MUCH better Perception and Insight roll than you made.
Also, just need a post from Ken, with Skill checks if he is searching, to move along.
