Adventure 1 - Delving into Godsskull

Ranos helps the party put the children up on the Centaur's back, steadying them with Mage Hand.

They should be safe there. Faerlin says to the ideal. She will travel back with the kids to make sure they get back safely.

"Dah gobbos are up to something and they keep talkin' 'bout a book, which we tink is dah missing books yaz want so bad." He turns and smiles to the children as they are let down. "Dey tooks deez ones prisoner and den dey... well..."

Using Message again, Ranos sends the following message to the lady:

"Wez should get back in dere and find out what's iz goings on."

Jahred's initial surprise at Ranos communicating with him via magic was quickly overshadowed by the horror and revulsion he felt at the Rantar's explanation. Thankful he was facing away from the children he took a moment to steel his face, thankful, for once, of his father's teachings. "Hopefully the others can care for them." He said softly. While he hadn't had any hesitation in the recent fights with the goblins, he knew he'd lack any sort of sympathy for the monsters from here on out, knowing what he knew about them, they made vermin sound appealing.

"Dah lady will keeps dah kids safe. We should go... talk... to Creak. An unnerving smile spreads across his face.

A series of banging sounds begins from within the cave, the sharp metallic shrieking as hinges break and the sound of heavy chains falling flat to the gritty cavern floor. With a slam, a goblin corpse goes flying into a totem of small bones and other filth, located deeper in the cave. A booming voice comes roaring out, bouncing off the empty walls. "Okay you horrid monsters, I'm done with my nap!" A figure comes toward a torch-flame, grabbing the oil-soak stick and lifting it towards the greater area. She was disheveled but seemingly uninjured, but the firelight failing to reveal her foe she stumbled forward looking for her things, realizing then that it was quiet inside. She looked around finding her gear, much to her dismay scattered about. They had destroyed some of her things, potions included and spread filth upon her holy symbol, but the goblins themselves seems to be dead now.

When she wandered up to the cave to just wanted to check for evil... well she found it! Too bad she was jumped and poisoned. Having been dragged back into a dead-end where she wonders if they were going to carve her up for food. Thankfully some heroes must have come. About this time she had grabbed her shield in one hand and quarterstaff in the other. She had other weapons and gear but was ready to see how'd saved her apparently by chance.

Faerlin looks defensive a moment before deciding the giant woman isn't a threat. Faerlin motions Further up is a place where you can get aid.

Jahred moved with the others, his bow at the ready, and an arrow in hand to be nocked and let loose at a moments notice. There was a moment of tension as the giant emerged from the passage to the left, but when she didn't attack, and indeed seemed to hold the goblins with disdain, he chuckled and smiled. "But come on back if you want to squish some of the little bastards." he said after Faerlin gave the directions to the firbolg.

Turning to look at the mound of rubble and the tiny and unlikely passage through, Jahred noticed a feather drifting down from above, not taking any chances, he lunged to the side while nocking his bow and aiming up at the ceiling. He'd let his arrow loose at the first sign of a Creak shaped target shouting "Above!" in warning to his companions.

The blue-scaled dragonborn was kind to offer, but Anice was here for smashing up hateful monsters that disgraced the sanctity of life. It was simply fated that they must meet in such a place. With the archer cutting to the chase, she nodding immediately, wanting to thank them for rescuing the children when she could not, Anise was just about to try to get a summary of what had happened while she was out, but there seemed a lot was happening at once. She, as well, saw the feather, but not knowing what she was looking, Anice lifted her shield instinctually to Jahred’s warning. A warm sultry rasp to her voice claiming, as a matter of fact, "I’m here to fight evil… What of you?" She was addressing the adventures, but her eyes searched for whatever the archer had launches fire upon, unsure what goblin had feathers.

Looking toward the ceiling Ranos bares his teeth.

I draw my short swords.

Her eyes widen, hearing the creepy Kenku speech, unsure what's happening but ready to protect herself.

Not the time for discussion. She launches herself on the Kenku. First she says Your blind to all.. She has her weapon out and is adjacent to it to do further damage.
