You realize whatever is causing trouble is inside the closet, or inside the walls/the crawlspace beneath the house. You can hear the gurgling turning to grunts and shrieks of pain as his wounds heal.

Butler grabs the man with his off hand and tries to haul him out of the closet.
OOC:

Bulter also gets a boost die as does the man if he can act.

You take a hold of his legs and with a mighty pull are able to drag the man out, in his hands he's grabbing a ragged goblin wielding a broken dogslicer. Despite bleeding from a wound from the head and a cut across his neck that is in the process of healing, the man is able to hold on to goblin. Holding it stuck to the ground.
OOC:
You didn't mention anything for your advantage, so the man is able to hold it down and its sword is broken.

"Sucker Punch!!!!" Aery roars and flings out a hand in glee attempting to conjure arcane energy.

As the Goblin comes into view Butler drops his sword and lunges forward, trying to restrain the creature.

I'm readying my quarterstaff to hit the goblin in one of it's legs and hopefully break one of it's legs unless Butler can manage to subdue it quickly.

Alaric is continuing to scan for threats outside, still confident that his friends can handle whatever is happening inside.

Aery, your bolt strikes the goblin. Already damaged and ravaged already it is enough to kill it. It makes a shriek as it goes limp in the man's fists. He seems to be in shock, and is still grabbing it and holding the dead body down.
OOC:
Remember when using ranged attacks against someone engaged with someone (in this case the man grabbing the goblin) you upgrade the difficulty once. I'll let it slide this time.

OOC:
Ah, forgot about that my apologies.
Aery points to the man asking Lee to look him over.

"You doing okay now? Helluva Afternoon huh? Your boy seemed to be concerned and got help. What happened? Did he come from inside here? Are there others?" Aery asks quickly grabbing light and inspecting the area the two came from looking for a secret entrance again similar to what he's found possibly.

If they've been mucking about under the town for a day or so... searching maybe... Aery thinks to himself his brow furrowing up.

I'll check the wounded man's wounds. I'd like to make a Medicine check to tend to his wounds. Using my healer's kit to get 1 advantage. I don't know what his wounds or wound threshold are, so I'll leave the difficulty to you, SA.

Alaric bumps the door open with the heel of his left boot, without taking his eyes from scanning the street, windows, rooftops, and alleys for signs of danger. You guys ok in there? he asks his companions quietly.
Sep 18, 2017 1:44 pm
"We're good, man's getting healed up... where's the boy tell him his old man's okay and to come back in." Aery explains in a loud whisper before starting to move things out of the closet trying to figure out how the Goblin got in since he's still thinking secret door.
Sep 18, 2017 6:41 pm
"I don’t know," the man mutters. "I didn’t know. The dog was acting crazy all day, and then Aeren complained about a monster in the closet."

Jimmy, you are able to stablize the man and get him back on his feet. The man is in no danger of dying anymore. He’ll probably be in a little pain for a couple of days.

Aery, as you clean out the closet you find a small hole in the back that leads into the crawlspace underneath the house. Next to the entrance lies a dead dog. The goblin’s fear of dogs was probably what saved the family. An exhaustive search later makes you pretty sure there are no more nasty surprises waiting, and as far as you can tell, the goblin fled into the crawlspace underneath the house during the attack. There he seems to have gotten lost inside, trying to find some way out of it.

OOC:
I do not feel sorry for the Goblin. Just saying.
Sep 18, 2017 7:38 pm
"Huh, your dog was trying to warn you of this goblin for a while most likely. It's likely it got separated during the raids and hide in here to lay low and was trying to figure out how to get back. This hole always been back here? I'm going to check out the crawl space but... You might want to do something with what happened with your dog before your son sees... We might want to get some hunting dogs together and search the town for Goblins just in case this isn't the only wayward goblin fellas." Aery explained trying to figure out if he could fit into the crawlspace to check things out. He'll check the hole to see if it was a few days fresh or always like this.

So, do we need to be checking under each of the houses to flush out any other of these bums?
Sep 22, 2017 6:49 pm
Once everyone is safe, you mount an exhaustive search through town, trying to suss out any more goblins. But if there’s any, they are hiding exceptionally well.

Tired and exhausted you return to the inn, where you find Aldern waiting. The feast is more somber than he had wanted, but Ameiko is wonderful cook and it taste marvellously.

"It saddens me that supper has almost turned to breakfast, but I hope you’ll take the time to feast with me," he says. "I’m leaving for Magnimar the day after tomorrow. May I enquire what your plans are for the future?"

"Spulunk a bit under the town in the secret passageways, talk to local shady individuals that may be using it for smuggling to find other or easier to get into entrances/exits, it might be why the city was attacked since the tunnels are very old... We still need to check out where the raiders went right? Nettles were involved I believe." Aery states between mouths of food.
OOC:
I take it the crawlspace was just a crawlspace nothing hidden like at the church.

"You are too kind sir" Butler says as he joins Aldern "A breakfast it maybe but I've rarely had finer" he says with a smile. After he has helped himself to some food Butler responds to his question "I honestly hadn't given it much thought. I cannot leave the people here until they are adequately able to protect themselves from further attacks but once that is attended to then I may return to the road once more....we will see"
