(( WIS Save:16, Concentration Save vs. DC 10: [roll]1d20+2 ))
Finn grit his teeth as the first attack landed, but successfully parried the second. Still fighting the magical effects of the dragonborn's spell, he forced himself to stare his opponent down, and without a word, he lashed out again.
ACTION:Attack the dragonborn again, twice with his pact weapon (greatsword) * Oversized Sword Slash 1 - Attack: 12, Damage: 12 Magical Slashing & 1 Necrotic if concentration save made (plus 5 & possibly 3 on crit) * Oversized Sword Slash 2 - Attack: 11, Damage: 21 Magical Slashing & 1 Necrotic if concentration save made (plus 6 & possibly 2 on crit) MOVE: If the dragonborn falls, move W, W, W, W, NW to be diagonal from Goblin 4 BONUS: Again, only if the dragonborn falls, and if the spell is sustained, redirect Hex to Goblin 4
(If the dragonborn falls with the first hit, the second attack can be taken towards G4 after moving and redirecting Hex)
The battle against the black dragonborn is fierce. He parries Finn's sword and his armor protects him from Dain's first blow. But then the dwarf gets through, cleaving off the black dragonborn's head and sending him to the ground.
Initiative Zylborin, Dain, Finn, Sampson (4 turns), Psalm <------------ currently up G4
Zylborin's mockery opens an opportunity for Psalm to slay the goblin. It falls to the floor, leaving the still hypnotized goblins and dragonborn as the only ones left.
[[ Technically the goblin would've had 3 more hp, but I think it's okay to cut that short considering how outmanned he is with the rest being Hypnotic Pattern-ed. ]]

[[ I'll leave it to you if you want to take the opportunity to fell the remaining enemies one by one or if there's other plans. ]]
With the returned hunting party taken care of, the part is able to get a good night's rest.
Shrugging, the pirate finished off the incapacitated remaining opponents before finally speaking.
"Well, if that's that, you all might as well go back to sleep. I'll finish my watch, then get the next guy up to take my place; these guys have worn me out!"
(( Finn will finish his watch, and then finish his long rest. ))
Waking up rested, the party notices Psalm has slipped off during the night to new adventures.
The chambers here don't seem to have been disturbed any further.
As a reminder of the features
Main Room: filled with pillars Dwarven Statue: On the right-hand side of the main room. Doors: Towards the North, wooden." Hallways: One in the NorthWest (unexplored) and one in the SouthWest (from where you came.)
Dain stretches out in the morning and lets out a massive yawn. “Alright men, we’ve got to get back to work. No sound from tha’ door last night, so I’m off’ta check it out.”
He will go to the unexplored wooden door and see what’s on the other side.
(Also am I still poisoned following the long rest?)

[[ Make another CON Save. DC 15. On a failure, hit point max is reduced by 8. Though we could also say Sampson prepared lesser restoration to heal Dain if the CON save fails. (At the moment, not 100% sure what to do with him as Lil50 hasn't been online for a while.) Thinking he'll maybe stay back while Dain, Zylborin, and Finn press on. ]]
Dain opens the wooden doors to find an old dwarven barracks. Old bunk beds fill the room. Though some of decrepit beyond use, others still look solid enough and seem like they've been used relatively recently, perhaps by some of the creatures the party encountered earlier.
Zylborin is able to finds some writing on the statue, though in Dwarvish. With's Dain's help he sees that there's four questions carved into stone above an alphabet.
[[ So
First Riddle
I look like a rainbow carved into stone In great dwarven halls I form a backbone
Second Riddle
Earth, fire, water, air A dwarf might craft a lamp so rare Request my service if you dare
Third Riddle
What walks on four legs in the morning? Two legs in the afternoon? And three legs in the evening?
Fourth Riddle
I grow each day but do not bloom Symbol of age and wisdom key A sign of pride to tend and groom And found on many dwarves you see
[[ Side note: The third riddle is the one that formed the structure chosen for the other three, so apologies if the other ones are not as clear/doable. Though I'm hoping they'll work. I'll certainly be lenient with letting checks/etc. help find out those answers. ]]

Con Save: 12
Dain looks at the riddles. He’s not the smartest one men, but these are largely dwarven, so he feels he can take a shot.
“Well our symbol of prides are obviously our beards,” he says while running a hand along his own luscious beard, “and the stone rainbow is what? An archway?”
(I think I get the other ones but gonna give people time since the barb ain’t solving all the riddles)
Finn, well-rested but mostly uninterested in the statue up to this point, meandered over as Dain worked out a couple of the riddles.
Peeking over his shoulder, the pirate smiled and said, "Hey, I know that third one; a wise man in a distant port made me work through it once. It's 'man'; he crawls as a baby, walks on two legs normally, and uses a cane when he's old!"
He then looked around at the others, quite pleased with himself.

Zylborin agrees with Dain and Finn. He ponders over the second one.
"There are beings from the elemental planes of Earth, Fire, Water, and Air that stories say can live in lamps and can grant wishes. But I could be connecting dots that aren't there."
Zylborin isn't able to recall much. With the nameplate defaced and worn from years, he can't make out more than what he sees on the statue of a dwarven king of some sorts.

“I do’no wot that was, but you get back here scaly!”
Dain rushes back to the dragonborn, ending above Finn. He recklessly attacks twice.
Attack 1: 15 for 14 Slashing damage
Attack 2: 18 for 13 Slashing damage

If Zylborin can get to a position to see Goblin 4, he'll cast Vicious Mockery at Goblin 4 (DC 16 Wis Save)
"Goblin are you trying to hit us? I thought this was a battle, not a comedy show."
Then he will use Bardic Inspiration on Finn

Can Zylborin wander over to the Dwarven Statue and try to search his memory if he recognises the figure? Or see if there's a plaque?
[[ Sure. Roll a history check. ]]
