Session 4: The Grove

[Monsieur Rose]

Sky

"It's quiet. A little too quiet." Her ears perk up and twitch as the noises from the other room cease. "What do you think? Are we just waiting to see who jumps first?"

Sky thinks for a second, then answers her own question. "The waiting is too much! I can't stand it anymore. I'm going around. Be right back."
Sky peeks around the door to the hallway, and creeps down to the south door.

Stealth: [1d20+5] = 16+5 = 21

The Quiet
"It's quiet. A little too quiet," Sky says quietly, her ears perking up and twitching as the noises from the other room cease. "What do you think? Are we just waiting to see who jumps first?"

"The waiting is too much! I can't stand it anymore." the tabaxi says impatiently. "I'm going around. Be right back."

The bard steps passed the fallen form of Elky as he sneaks out the door so silently even his own party members barely notice his departure.

The sorcerer waits.

[GreyWolfVT]

Kelben moves away from the door and takes up his bow and waits. moving to the upper right corner looking at the map.

[Shaede]

Hargrem

The cleric says a quick prayer to Tymora for guidance. Straining his ears, he attempts to listen for the slightest of sounds or movement near the door.

Cast Guidance: [1d4] = 4
Perception: [1d20+5] = 20+5 = 25

Total: 29 (wow)

[Monsieur Rose]

Sky

Sky pops her head back in the room. She whispers to the group. There are two goblins hiding to the left of the door, trying to ambush us.

"Thoughts?"

[Scott308]

Qelgrax Klilxuac

The dragonborn takes a moment to gather his thoughts before whispering his reply. They do not know we are aware of their ambush. We can use that to our advantage. Sky, could you sneak back behind them? We could open the door to focus their attention, expecting someone to exit this room. You could attack then, hopefully catching them by surprise, at which time we could press the attack from the other direction. Alternatively, I could twin a cantrip- Fire Bolt or Poison Spray- then charge out and try to take them both out with one spell. We could maybe even try throwing something through the doorway on the chance they may attack the first thing they see.

[dmw71]

Sky, could you sneak back behind them?

If it factors into your decision, this will require a new Stealth check.

[Monsieur Rose]

Sky

She nods along as the dragonborn outlines many plans. "Right. Ok. So you all attack when you hear a commotion. Got it." Sky bounds back out of the room and creeps down the hallway again.

Sneak: [1d20+5] = 6+5 = 11

She isn't as careful this time.

[dmw71]

Sneak Attack
While the group waits for Sky to return from his reconnaissance mission, Kelben backs away from the unopened door, positioning himself in the far corner. Hargrem, saying a quick prayer to Tymora, focuses intently, straining his ears, and listens for the slightest of sounds or movement coming from beyond the door. A slight shifting sound is heard from just beyond the door, but only for a fraction of an instant. Otherwise, after the blast from the exploding book, everything is eerily silent... until the door to the room, from the hallway, swings open a few moments later, and Sky's head peeks back into the room.

"There are two goblins hiding to the left of the door, trying to ambush us." she whispers.

Klilxuac takes a moment to gather his thoughts after hearing Sky's report. "Sky, could you sneak back behind them?" he asks, which elicits an affirmative nod from the tabaxi. "We could open the door to focus their attention, then you could hopefully catch them by surprise," the sorcerer adds.

"Right. So you all attack when you hear a commotion. Got it." Sky confirms, then pops her head back out and creeps down the hallway again.

A few moments later...

The door to this new room creaks slightly as Sky returns and attempts to gain entry without drawing attention or suspicion. The tabaxi, peering more fully inside, realizes that her efforts have done exactly what she had hoped to avoid.

Private to Sky.


Everyone, I will need an initiative roll, plus any movement and/or actions for round 1. The door leading from the original room to the new room is still closed. Someone, if the plan is to engage, will need to indicate they're opening it.

The sorcerer will move to the door. He will wait about half as long as Sky had been gone the first time, hoping the Tabaxi would have sufficient time to get into place. Readying Poison Spray in case he ends up seeing a goblin, he will twin it if he sees (and can cast on) both. He will then throw open the door, but not go through.

Initiative: [1d20+2] = 17+2 = 19
Poison Spray will require a DC CON save.

Round 1
Klilxuac moves to the door and waits, hoping to time the arrival of Sky on the other end. Then, a few beats earlier than he anticipated, he hears what sounds like a something fall. Then some words being spoken in a tongue he recognizes, but does not understand -- goblin.

The sorcerer, spell readied, remains in place but throws open the doors.

What immediately captures his attention is a goblin, with a bloodied blade, harassing Sky; a small pool of blood is forming in the laboring tabaxi's coat of fur.

Beyond Sky, the area becomes much rougher, as the collapsed southern wall opens into a vast cavern. Twigs and roots are piled on the floor of this sagging chamber and luminescent fungus on the rough walls and the high roof loom over a twilight grove of sickly briars, bushes, saplings, and other woody plants.

This rougher grove area continues beyond the range of his vision.

Okay, the above marks what happened before Klilxuac opened the door, or what was round 1. Scott, you're welcome to change your action (e.g. Poison Spray) for round 2, which is where you guys will enter the encounter.

Everyone, actions and/or movement for round 2? Also, I still need an initiative roll for Hargrem and Kelben.

Qelgrax Klilxuac

Seeing their plan has been disrupted by the goblins, the sorcerer changes tactics. Hurling a Fire Bolt at the goblin in combat with Sky, Klilxuac will then move back behind the table, hoping to draw the other goblin in.

Fire Bolt (Fire dam.): [1d20+5] = 13+5 = 18; Advantage/ Disadvantage: [1d20+5] = 10+5 = 15; Damage: [1d10] = 10

[GreyWolfVT]

Kelben draws his bow and waits to see if anything follows his dragonborn companion through the door.

[Monsieur Rose]

Sky

"OW! You cut me!" Sky pulls her rapier and attempts to run the offensive goblin through.

Rapier: [1d20+5] = 10+5 = 15
Damage: [1d8+3] = 6+3 = 9

If the closest goblin falls before she can stab it, she moves to stab the other one.

Round 2
Seeing their plan has been disrupted, Klilxuac hurls a Fire Bolt at the goblin engaged with Sky, and, after watching the goblin collapse to the ground while screaming in pain, he moves back behind the table, hoping to draw the other goblin in.

"Ow! You cut me!" Sky is heard crying, then she darts across the room with her rapier drawn. An instant later, another goblin is heard gasping, then collapsing.

Kelben and Hargrem remain back in the study, weapons readied, waiting for anything other than Sky to enter through the newly opened door.

The only thing to pass through the door, however, is Sky, holding a clawed finger over her mouth and gesturing for the group to remain quiet. "Two more are sleeping in there," she says, indicating the adjoining room which appears to lead deeper --

-- into the Grove

Sky

Sky pops her head in the room, smiles, and whispers "There are a couple sleeping over here. My math was off." She steps back outside to finish off the sleeping goblins.

Sky comes back into view, dragging a body. "Let's move these guys so nobody sees them. Give me a hand, would you?"

[GreyWolfVT]

Kelben moves into the room with Sky and the sleeping goblins "Uh ok i guess i can help move them or we could just lock them in here some how."

The Grove
The group dispatches of the goblins and find themselves in a chamber with a collapsed southern wall which opens into a vast cavern. Twigs and roots are piled on the floor of this sagging chamber, and luminescent fungus on the rough walls and the high roof loom over a twilight grove of sickly briars, bushes, saplings, and other woody plants.

Ruined walls and pale, spindly briars occupy the massive, open area to the south, casting twisted shadows on the earth floor in the violet light.
