The Goblin Cave

"And what of Alex?" Tatiana asks, while looking for the flamboyant swordsman.

Alexander Simonnet Natalis de Bertier du Puy, scion of the the du Puys and gentleman scholar and rake, was not in a good mood. He was annoyed. No, more than annoyed, he decided that he was taking full-on umbrage. He started this journey in fine fettle, with a song in his heart and poetry on his lips. That Alex was now relegated to the rear of his subconscious. Instead, the slightly more bitter and infinitely more sardonic Alex had come to the fore. He was tired, wet, bedraggled, put out, and not copacetic in the slightest. Alliteration be damned; rather, visions of wreaking unholy vengeance on the small green folk danced through his mind as he stalked—pantheresque, at least in his mind—from the side tunnel and followed the path that the half-orc near mindlessly charged. Well, at least he will draw their attention whilst I move, he thought.

As he moved down the corridor, he heard sounds behind him. Approaching were her most royal highness, Lady Snooty of Snootsville, followed dutifully by her surprisingly competent brother and the young farm lad; a lad with more depth to him than apparent at first. Dispensing with any thoughts of stealth Lady wizard wouldn't know subtlety if it came up and bit her on her lovely blond hair, would she. Wait, lovely?? Where did that come from. Alex shook his head and waited until they caught up with him.

Bowing as gracefully as one who had been battered and bruised and taken a nap on the forest floor could be, Alex asked I say, mesdames et messieurs, shall we follow the rampaging half orc up the wall and across the bridge, or shall we await yet another lovely tumble in the whitewater tunnel of love?

Trakomak start running forward toward the light flickering ahead. With an axe in each hand he would try to kill the lone goblinbefore it can call for reinforcement, or at least that's what he hope will happen.

Everyone roll initiative.

Tatiana looks up at the slippery rock wall and decides she's not quite capable of scaling that, or at least risking a nasty fall. "Maybe if we hurry, we can find a spot ahead if another flood is released," she says, and moves up the tunnel in Decklan's direction.

That is a reasonable suggestion, m’lady wizard. I would loathe to wrinkle my clothes more than they already are. As soon as we reach civilization, I will require a laundress, I fear. Alex follows after Decklan, assuming the lady, lad, and lizard follow him.

Raven shakes his head, trying to stay close to the wall and hoping he is not going to be swimming again.

Amos follows closely behind his sister eyes scanning.

Raven- HP 10/10. AC 14 - 6
Decklan- HP 8/12. AC 17 - 4This cavern is half filled with two large pools of water. A narrow waterfall high in the eastern wall feeds the pool, which drains out the western end of the chamber to form the stream that flows out of the cave mouth below. Low fieldstone walls serve as dams holding the water in. A wide exit stands to the south, while two smaller passages lead west, these are where you’ve entered. The sound of the waterfall echoes through the cavern, making it difficult to hear. Four goblins stand at the ready in this area.


As the battle begins, I believe these are all your stats. Let me know if I got anything wrong.

Tokamak is first up as Ammos is following his sister and not moving before her.

Trakomak is surprised, but not scared seeing more than one goblin. Furious cry Surrender or die! is followed by a war-cry as he run toward the closest goblin swinging his axe mighty.

Tatiana’s turn.

Tatiana pauses only briefly as Trakomak's roar reaches her ears and she considers whether to abide by caution or recklessness. "Ah well," she says, deciding upon the latter. "It's been that kind of day."

The wizard hustles through the tunnel to catch up to Decklan. Tatiana summons her magical flame, ready to launch it in the face of any goblin she sees.

Alex’s turn.

Alex realizes he is too far from the remaining goblins to reach them in melee, so he will move up to Trakomak and shoot the goblin at N4 with his bow.
