Rainey

Rainey hears the fighting, and nods. "We better get ready to put up the table..."

Despite saying this, Rainey continues his examination of the pool. Assuming it was dusty/dirty, he'll use the water he poured in to try to scrub some of it clean. Is there any decoration on the fountain, or writing? Maybe buried under some dust...?

Hearing AdaRue's scream and Mila's statement, Watts moves back into the hallway and fires a shot at the visible goblin.

Long Bow attack (THAC0:18) : [1d20] = 14 damage: [1d8] = 7

Round 8
The goblins act quickly, but poorly. The two spear-wielding foes actually turn their attention towards those in the hallway, and find themselves face-to-face with an angry, broom swinging cleric! The pair jabs at AdaRue, but get too caught up in the gluey substance, and trying to avoid the wolf corpse, to have any accuracy in their attempts.

Tom slices through his red cloacked, sword-wielding adversary (g1) and it crumbles to the floor in a motionless pool of oozing blood. AdaRue swings her broom angrily, but wildly, and fails to connect. Watts, Keebler, and Tippin all send arrows wooshing down the passageway. Watts sinks his projectile deep into the chest of the goblin trying to climb over the fallen wolf body (g3) and sends it toppbling over backwards, dead. Keebler and Tippin just miss, with the elf doing so badly.

Only the one goblin, currently facing AdaRue, remains. "Yes, that's right. Kill them..." instructs Canun from the far side of the corridor, mimicking the fighters' moves. From quite far away. "Just like this..."

Beyond the obnoxious cleric, Mila detects the continued combat. "They're still fighting out there!" she shares.

Omdog leaves Rainey to the fountain, and moves to watch the door, ready to charm the first goblin making an appearance. "We better get ready to put up the table..." Rainey adds while continues his examination of the pool. The user of magic notes that the pool is constructed of solid stone and is quite simple, with no decorative features. The inside, which is filled with dust from a lack of use over time, responds to the shifting water but does not uncover anything hidden beneath it.
Notes:
* While G1 rolled a 1 against Tom, no free counter attack was requested because Tom's normal attack killed it.
* Keebler did not have a good round with his bow; with his initial natural 1 there was a 50% chance of targeting an ally -- he did. When rolling to see if he hit a companion, he rolled a second natural 1.

Tom Cobley

Tom tries to take out the last goblin - the one who is facing AdaRue...

Hand axe [1d20+1] = 19+1 = 20 Damage [1d6+1] = 6+1 = 7

... and sinks his axe blade deep into the creature's skull.

Miss AdaRue continues to flail with her broom. Get away, you nasty little thing! Eww!

Broom [1d20+1] = 10+1 = 11, dmg [1d6+1] = 1+1 = 2

Round 9
The remaining goblin begins to bark at AdaRue in its coarse goblin tongue, which neither she nor Tom are able to comprehend... but communications cease when Tom's axe splits open the creatures skull from behind. Tom's first victim (g1) dons the familiar red cloak and, as before, a small cloth pouch dangles from a belt made of vines around the creatures waist. It also carried a small wooden shield and goblin sword. The other two goblins (g2, g3) each wear drag, brown goblin clothing, and have normal leather belts with a small pouch. They also carried spears.


Tom moves slightly to his right, just enough to reveal a passage leading out of far left-hand corner. Down in the well chamber, Omdog's torch begins to sputter and shows sings of quickly becoming extinguished.

AdaRue is happily surprised when the goblin assaulting her is cleaved by Tom's axe. She gives​ the halfling a huge hug, almost lifting him from the ground before composing herself. She carefully gathers the small pouches, gingerly smelling them, but not daring to open them, fearing a repeat of the earlier debacle. What a mess. We should hide the bodies. Maybe off to that end of the room? pointing to the unlit area.

After a brief listen at the tunnel on the left, AdaRue will start dragging the dirty little corpses to the bottom-right area on the map, tucking them into that alcove. When the work is done, she passes​ out the pouches, keeping one for herself, explaining ​that she thinks they are to be thrown.

is that 5 pouches in all? 2 from the first group, 3 from just now?

Rainey

Unsure of what to make of the fountain, Rainey inspects the ceiling above it, hoping to find out if it's a catch basin for something coming from above.

If he finds nothing, he'll use the water to wash the dust off the silver candelabra.

"Hooray! We won!" cheers Tippin.

"Hey, do you think those pouches of sticky stuff explode when thrown? Maybe we could use 'em as weapons!"

Tom Cobley

Before AdaRue purloins the pouches from the dead, Tom examines them to see if any resemble the sticky pouch they encountered before. He will point out any that do.

When AdaRue grabs the rest of the pouches, he frowns and says, "Hey! At the very least show everyone what's in them before you hide them away."

He wipes his axe blade clean on a red goblin cloak and heads towards the passageat the end of the room to see what is down there.

Mila

Hearing the fighting subside and then friendly voices speaking she allows herself a sigh of relief and relaxes a bit. On her way to sit down beside her lantern, she picks up the candelabra. Once seated she looks the object over polishing it a little with the hem of her dress to see if any further details are revealed.

Canun calls to Omdog, Mila and Rainey. "It's safe now. I showed 'em how to kill those goblins. Did you see it?"

The pudgy cleric walks towards the dead goblins and the rest of the party.

"Truly, your example is inspiring," deadpans Keebler.

Omdog lights another torch!

Tom Colbey. I didn't mean it like that, and you should know it. We just shouldn't leave them on the floor while we move the bodies, is all. What would happen if someone stepped on them? I was only going to keep one! You hold onto the rest and pass them out if you aren't going to move these filthy beasts out of the way. She hands all but one pouch to Tom, stowing it on her belt loop, then continues to move the corpses.

"Hooray! We won!" cheers Tippin, as AdaRue nearly lifts Tom off the ground with a huge hug after the halfling successfully cleaves the last of the goblins. After composing herself, AdaRue carefully gathers the small pouches, gingerly smelling them, but not daring to open them, fearing a repeat of the earlier debacle. The pouches generally smell foul, but one in particular is rancid. Tom joins her in the examination of the pouches, and the pair agree that the one carried by the red-cloaked goblin resembles the glue bomb, like the earlier one they detonated. "Hey, do you think those pouches of sticky stuff explode when thrown? Maybe we could use 'em as weapons!" Tippin wonders aloud. The remaining pouches -- four in total -- appear normal. AdaRue keeps one for herself and passes the remainders to Tom (see comments, below).

"What a mess," AdaRue sighs after surveying the area and spying the six dead goblins in total and the deceased wolf. "We should hide the bodies. Maybe off to that end of the room?" she adds, pointing to the unlit area on the far side of the chamber, and waits for help... or, at least, more help than just the unpleasant Canun. Tom wipes his axe blade clean on a red goblin cloak and moves towards the exit and learns that the passage beyond wraps around to the left.
Back in the other chamber, Omdog uses the final moments of his current torch to light its replacement.

Unsure of what to make of the fountain, Rainey inspects the ceiling above it and is almost disappointed when he finds nothing out of the ordinary. Undeterred, Rainey turns his attention to the previously discarded silver candelabra, where he uses the water to wash off the dust... when he senses that one of the branches has been hallowed out. Mila joins Rainey as her magic-using counterpart begins to examine his finding.

Given the rounds are only 10-seconds, I left the "moving the bodies" as simply a plan, and not something that was actually performed. If that is still the desired course of action, please re-state.

Also, regarding the pouches, I'm not going to assume that any of them have been opened since no one actually declared they were doing it. AdaRue kept one... but which? Tom has the four others... does he keep them all? If anyone is going to do anything specific with the any of the pouches, just let me know.

Watts eyes up the pouch that AdaRue took from the goblins and then begins to help moving the corpses.

Tom Cobley

Tom takes the rancid pouch and says, "Pretty sure this one will end in a sticky mess, just like the last one. And it comes from a red-cloaked goblin, as well. My nose is itching, AdaRue. Store the others safely in your pack and let's wait on opening them until we're sure this place is safe..."

He safely secures the sticky bomb on his belt, intending on using it on the next group of goblins they see.

OOC: If you didn't notice, the GM still has us in "rounds" activity. That means there is at least a chance of more fighting in the very near future...

Clarification Post:

Tom grabs the one they suspect is a glue bomb and attaches it to his belt for future use.

He shrugs at the others, turning his nose up at the rancid pouch. "Not sure about these, though. Maybe they're stink bombs! When we feel we are safe, you can throw one of them against a wall or something and see what happens!"

"We've got 'em on the ropes now!" chirps Tippin. "Let's go get 'em!"
