Chapter 1 - Goblin Arrows

Jan 18, 2021 6:13 pm

Its focus on Orel the Goblin never sees the attack that takes its life. Kerisha's sword connects just above the creature's hip and slices completely through to the opposite shoulder, killing the remaining Goblin instantly.

OOC:

The two guards have been eliminated. The next move is up to you. It's currently around 2:30 in the afternoon.

Goblin A is dead, its remains on the left side of the stream.
Goblin B is dead, its body slowly flowing down the stream, away from the cave entrance.

Belanor will put his hand on his hip while looking at his hammer. "Well in all the stories I've heard that should have worked? Thankfully you all were there to subdue them before they did something to us."

Belanor realizes that this could have been his death. He drops the hammer on the ground immediately doubling over.

Gerbo glances at Belenor as he retrieves the arrow. Grim can you cover my back for a bit?" Stowing his bow, he creeps up to the edge of the cave quietly, peering around the edge of the entrance to see what he could see, shielding his eyes from the sun with one hand to aid his darkvision.

Orel gives a nod of thanks to Kerisha.

"Belanor, are you alright?" Orel quickly begins grabbing a healer's kit out of his backpack, glancing over Belanor for wounds.

The smell is the first thing that hits Gerbo as he moves slowly towards the entrance of the cave. It's obvious just from the stench that the place is inhabited. Across the stream, to the rogue's right, he spots the blind that the guards used to keep watch. Old wooden planks have been used to flatten out some of the growth to give the guards a place to lie hidden in wait.

Peeking into the cave Gerbo can see that there are at least two side passages off of the main cave. The closer of the two has a few uneven stone steps which appear to lead into a cavern. The further climbs steeply updwards.

Belanor holds up his hands to wave off the assist.
"I'll.. I'll be ok. Just need a moment to. Come to grips with my potential death here." Each pause he holds back a gag.

After a few moments Belanor stands, pulls a handkerchief from his coat and wipes his brow before stowing it.
With a bit of a shake he joins the accompaniment at the rear.

Walking quietly back to his compatriots, Gerbo relays what he saw, "Well, we know Tobs was telling the truth. It definitely smells like that Stinky fellow has been living in here for a while. I saw a couple passages in there, but didn't see anything directly telling us which was was the best one to take. If we're ready, I think it's time we headed in, unless anyone has anything else to say while we're outside? It'll be harder to communicate quietly while we're inside."

He tries to slap Belanor on the back to say "Buck up", but due to his size, it comes out closer to the small of his back. "Kerisha, you speak their language. Do you know anything about what we can expect in there? I don't know much of them." Besides the ones I've lifted coin off in squalid little bars, anyways. He lets out a short cackle at the thought.

Orel slowly puts his Healer's Kit away, looking concernedly at Belanor. "Okay. It'll be alright, I'm sure," he says in a futile attempt at consolation.

"Good adventurers go left," he says tentatively in response to Gerbo, raising an eyebrow at Gerbo's small laugh.

Kerisha

Jan 20, 2021 4:57 pm

Kerisha finally washes some of the goblin blood and guts from her sword and armor, but leave the splatter on her face, thinking it gives her more of an intimidating presence.

She succeeds where Gerbo fails, and thumps Belanor on the back "You get used to it!" she proclaims, secretly hoping she makes him spew at the same time.

Kerisha pauses for a moment, deep in thought about goblin tactics and living arrangements. She tends to just wade into battle, not thinking about planning. This is new for her.

She shrugs. "They small, green, and smell bad."

OOC:

What would Kerisha know of what to expect from her orc tribe days?

Rolling history check for recall of info = what are goblins? lol!

OOC:

I would expect the Kerisha would at least know that groups of goblins like these are ruled through fear and intimidation - the leaders rarely freely associate with those under their command.

Belanor coughs at the slap on the back as Kerisha does it harder then expected.

Belanor is to inexperienced in this bit.
Sounds like storming the castle is the plan currently XD the ever trusted pincer movement

Never really being one for debating, Orel said left, so Kerisha goes left. Keeping her sword at the ready, she starts to make her way into the cave keeping to the left wall.

Gerbo

"Right-O, left side it is. Following Kerisha in, Gerbo decides he'd be best to keep an eye out for the kind of trap he saw Tobs point out on the way to the cave. He focuses most of his attention on the entrance to the side passage on the left.

Stepping slowly through the stream along the left side of the cave Kerisha and Gerbo can hear the sounds of snarling and rattling chains coming from the dark chamber to the right. Pushing forward they reach the passage way that ascends steeply to the left and up ahead they spot a rickety bridge that connects to two tunnels high above the stream.

OOC:

You are both deep enough in the cave that your Darkvision is the only thing allowing you to see.

Orel peers into the cave and, noticing how dark it is, straps his shield to his back and pulls a torch out of his backpack. He lights it using his tinderbox and enters the cave slowly, holding his sword in his other hand.

Kerisha

Appreciating the value in teamwork, Kerisha pauses for a moment for the others to close up. Constantly checking with Gerbo if there are any traps to avoid.

OOC:

Will wait for the others to catch up before moving up the steep passage to the left
