Bremen quickly loots all the goblin corpses, including the really dumb one.

What way? Marching order?

Depends on the answer to this. Since he wasn't restrained, he could have indicated this.

Down the hallway (left) is the melted dragon doors on the other side of the hall. He indicated going up (right).

Bremen
Baxtaw
Stantz
Clouson
Lug

]Piers, Crowager and Rowine need to go in there somewhere. In between Stantz and Clouson? Baxtaw and Stantz?

Bremen takes a torch and started down the hallway, to the right. He keeps a careful watch for traps and secret doors, hoping to find none of the former and one of the latter.

Brennen suggests putting the dwarf and elf out front to use infravision unimpeded, giving is a better chance against being ambushed. And they can look For traps and the door. He can also look for the door by torchlight.


Baxtaw
Dorbeck
space for darkness/infravision
Bremen

Baxtaw and Dorbeck lead ahead, watching the hallway with their infravision. Bremen follows with the torch, the rest of the party filing in behind him. Turning right and heading up the hallway, the torchlight casting its thin light to the walls of the extra wide hallway, visible far up and down its length. The party otherwise does its best to move quietly, that their footfalls don't echo and alert the goblins more than the screams of their dying kin on the hallway floor already have. Slowly, ever slowly, the party inches its way up the hallway away from the melted golden doors.

It happens in slow motion before Bremen's eyes, but he can't get the warning out fast enough to stop calamity. Baxtaw and Dorbeck didn't notice the thin cracks in the cold stone floor which Bremen was able to see when his torchlight reached them. Baxtaw already had stepped over the stone block. Dorbeck, however... just as the words choked in Bremen's throat, Dorbeck's foot presses the trigger. A grinding sound rattles deafeningly as a heavy portcullis drops from above, snapping the dwarf's leg (-13) and separating he and Baxtaw from all those behind.

A goblin war cry sounds in the darkness up the hallway as the portcullis drops. A hail of shortbow arrows comes in from up the hallway, peppering the elf and dwarf with their shafts. Already pinned by the portcullis, Dorbeck is struck through the skull by two of the arrow shafts, a third hitting him in the shouder. (Crit: -12, Crit: -10, -2) Three of the shafts also strike Baxtaw Crit: -12, -1, -3) - the elf is severely wounded and trapped on the far side of the portcullis from the rest of the party, with the goblins...

(Surprise round over. Actions!)


Date: 2:40pm, 26 July 2021
Light: Bremen's Torch (3:20pm)
Effects: None.
Injuries: Dorbeck (Dead), Baxtaw (Critically Wounded), Bremen (minor wounds), Stantz (minor wound), Clouson (minor wound), Baxtaw (minor wound), Lug (superficial wound)

Dang! Those are some (un)lucky shots! Umm... What to do... The goblins are separated from the rest of the party, right? I know what Bremen would do. Anyone else want to step up?

Does Osuna have sleep memorized, by chance?

Osana has one sleep spell and one magic missile prepared. I'll have her do what the group decides.

The portcullis has a grid of flat bars; it will give partial cover (-2 AC) in either direction to anyone who isn't standing right up against it. (People right up against it don't get an AC bonus, but also don't suffer a bonus to shoot through it.)

The goblins are firing from more than 60' up the hallway from Baxtaw, who still cannot see them with his elven eyes.
