Halben pulls back to curtain to reveal a high narrow dark hall that looks as if it might have been part of a chapel or shrine at one time. Angelic figures are sculpted along the room's upper reaches, looking down on the floor below. Next to Halben at J,14 is a cracked but ornately carved stone brazier. A new door is visible at L,16.
"Be careful, these could be traps." Halben would like to investigate the angels to see if they are traps. If he determines that they are not, he will try to advance across the room to open the door at L,16.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Halben investigates the angels and the other chapel's decor. They do not appear to but trapped but Halben can discern that the deities once revered here were Oghma(god of knowledge), Mystra(goddess of magic), Lathander(god of dawn), and Tymora(goddess of luck). This is an obvious sign that the builders of the castle were human. Halben progresses towards the door and Fawn enters.
Halben reaches for the door but hears a flop behind him as a large worm like creature comes out of the rocky pile. It blends in almost effortlessly with the rock. It rears up and it's barb tentacles unfurl to reveal a hungry snapping beak and it let's out a hiss!
When this hiss belts out two goblins emerge with daggers down from behind the altar in the prior room. They both wear filthy robes over their armor.
Cypress bites one goblins throat completely out and it collapses to the floor. He swipes at the other but it is able to duck out of the way at the last moment. One goblin is DEFEATED!
Halben releases flames toward the Grick it tries to move out of the way. Dex Save DC13: 20
The Grick slithers and half the flames catch it dealing 5 damage to the worm! It smells horrid.
Fawn sticks both swords into the Grick and a nasty yellow liquid begins to spill out. It is very hurt! Total damage to Grick this round(24)!
The Goblin in frantic desperation attempts to stab cypress with it's dagger. The robe wearing goblin is clearly not a fighter and it comes in at the wrong angle unable to penetrate Cypress's hide!
Attack: 6 Damage: 3
The Grick then launches it's tentacles out at Halben the wrongs dig deep into his skin piercing his innards!
Attack: 24 Damage: 16
The Grick wraps it's tentacles around Halben's bound body and attempts to bit down with it's beak!
Attack: 23 Damage: 7
The beak bites down on Halben's throat and his body goes limp... Halben is now unconscious and will need to begin making death saving throws.
Cypress bites once more and the goblin's robes are no match for his maw. He squeezes and with every breath a little more life leaves the goblin until it sleeps forever more.
Seeing Halben down on the ground Fawn dives into action. The worm is latched onto Halben and does not see the swords coming. Fawn cuts in and dissects it down the middle like she's doing an experiment. The worm let's out a hiss and both halves wiggle for a few moments before stopping.
Halben is bleeding out on the ground and will need to make another death save if he is not healed.
Well done! Combat is now over! Please award yourselves 485 exp each! You may now do as you wish.

Halben lets out a gasp and sits up breathing. He turns to Cypress and says "Thank you my friend. The mistress of death almost had me on that one." Halben gets up and stumbles around the room a bit. "Give me a second. I need to catch my bearings." Halben looks to see that the goblins and the worm are dead. "Great job you guys. I wonder if our dwarven friend is around here somewhere. I hope we don't have to fight any more of those."
Halben will drink his greater potion of healing and heal for 15
He is now back to 18 HP and is ready to try and open the door he is currently at.

“I agree we need to return to get these. I bet they’d fetch a pretty penny” If you’re ready to go through the door Halben I’ll cover.

Seeing that Fawn is still focused from the fight and isn’t taking regard for her own health, Cypress casts a level 2 healing word on her also.

Thanks cypress! Halben I’m glad you’re ok. Are you two ready to move on?
I am, an idea how we could find Grunden?
