Part 1: Goblin Arrows

Klarg takes an arrow to his massive chest, staggering him slightly as he advances on Kama.

At this point the two wolves you rescued earlier charge in, revealing the source of the barking coming up behind you. The first wolf leaps to intercept Ripper, catching his throat in his jaws and bearing him to the ground. Ripper goes limp in the other wolf's jaws. The other leaps for Klarg, slamming into him, attempting to take him down. Klarg flexes his massive muscles and manages to stay on his feet.

Klarg ignores the pesky wolf, worried more about Kama's huge axe he takes a swing at him. Kama barely manages to duck out of the way of an attack that surely would have crushed his skull.

The two goblins that Wish has engaged drop their bows and draw weapons. Goblin 1 pulls out a spear, thrusting for Wish's belly, but his attack is turned by his fine armor. Goblin 2 draws a short sword and takes a swipe as well, gashing Wish terribly across his chest (8 damage).

Goblin 3, seeing the pretty tiefling launch a powerful magical bolt at Ripper, fires an arrow at her, hitting her in the side (5 damage). The arrow penetrates deeply, causing Hollow's knees to buckle and her vision to go black. She is unconscious.


Goblin 1: 0 damage, Engaged with Wish

PLAYER TURN

Wish's fine blade pierces through Goblin 2's chest and exits out his back. The little beast stares down uncomprehendingly at the blade before falling over, quite dead.

Kama's great axe begins sinking into Klarg's midsection, but before it can go too far Klarg grabs hold of Kama's wrist and shoves, staggering him and forcing him to remove his axe. Klarg yells furiously, "Klarg Ki-*bluch*", his words shortened by the presence of an arrow in his throat. He releases Kama's arm and grabs at his neck, trying to stem the flow of his precious blood. In moments he is on his knees, and then he is on his face, dead.

Hollow's lifeblood flows freely from her punctured side, she doesn't have much time left.

Wolf 1 and 2 get off of their kills and bound over to Wish's side, biting and ripping at Goblin 1. Goblin 1 goes down easily under their coordinated attacks.

Being the last of his group, Goblin 3 drops his bow and cowers, begging for mercy in broken common.

Combat over!

Players gain 125 xp for these two encounters, plus 150 for defeating the leader of the goblin tribe

Everyone should now be at 435 exp? You may gain your level after you complete a long rest.

Hollow is down, with one death save standing between her and certain doom. You still haven't found Gundren or Sildar yet. And you have a goblin who has surrendered to you and is begging for his life.

With Xora's care, Hollow is soon resting easy. She should wake in just a couple of hours.

The goblin cowers before Xora, whimpering pathetically, "Please don't kill me, please please please," he repeats himself over and over again.

The goblin sputters, "Stupid hooman is other side bridge, in eating cave. Yeemik keep him dere. Stinky dwarf is at castle with king boss!"

Shaking with fear, the goblin expels the contents of his bladder. You can smell the urine and see a puddle forming beneath his feet.

The wolves are sitting by Hollow, patiently waiting for her to wake up.

The goblin faints at the sight of Klarg's severed head.

Wish finds that the majority of the supplies are marked with the blue lion symbol of the Lionshield Coster, a trading company that has recently set up a trading post and warehouse in Phandalin.

Wish also finds an unlocked treasure chest among the supplies. It contains 600 cp, 110 sp, two potions of healing, and a jade statuette of a frog with tiny golden orbs for the eyes. The statuette is small enough to fit in your pocket.

You manage to rest for the full two hours safely. You have completed a short rest (everyone except Hollow, who is awake now with 1 HP) and may spend your Hit Dice to recover your health.

The goblin renews it's shaking, terrified of Kama, "Me not know! Me no count! Please no kill poor Fizbin!"

The goblin is quick to speak, wanting to stay on the big guy's good side, "More! More!" he pauses to think for a second, "No more Klargs though!"
