"I've asked around, but nobody has seen or heard anything out of the ordinary. Nothing like this has happened around here for a long time. Last I can remember was maybe, 20, 25 years ago? Even then, I think it was more of Goblins attacking travelers up the road, not kidnapping little girls. There hasn't been any Goblin sightings around here since, that I can recall. I think it's best if you all go with Rickard and check out the workshop."
(The party follows Rickard to his workshop on the North edge of town. The signs of a struggle are everywhere: Broken pots litter the floor, splintered chairs and tables, etc. A goblin lays dead on the floor, a poker thus his chest. The layout of his workshop is roughly as shown:
"Well, here it is. I haven't really had a chance to look things over, I went for help as soon as I came to."
DM's Note: You are free to look around. Remember, if you're going to roll, the difference between Perception (I look and see...) and Investigation (I see and deduce...). You have to be specific about what you're looking at when you make an Investigation roll. You can't just say, "I Investigate the room." You have to say, for example, "I Investigate the Workbench." When you roll, make sure to add your modifiers. Look at your Character Sheet under Skills and add the number to your roll. If you're not sure how to roll feel free to take a few practice rolls in the Dice Thread.
Sorry for the crappy Paint drawing, it's not to scale or anything, it's just meant to give you all a rough idea of how everything is set up. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. I want to make sure stuff is clear for you guys.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
//hoi sorry to ask but where the bloody hell is Skonik? Did he give up, is he late? I'm sorry, i'm just curious. Also i can not read what it says above living quarters ( the 2 little rectangles), the pentagonal shaped thing and the big rectangle thats right to the pentagonal shaped thing, also whats outside, sorry lul, also if u want better drawings you can always ask me! I'm an art student, i have many programs to draw stuff, so if ya need anything just say pal <3
edit: nvm i found out how to zoom lmao no need to tell me what those things are anymore x)
(As we reach the workshop i imediatly run over to the dead goblin and investigate its corpse for any clues, maybe he had a note somewhere, maybe he had... precious loot, i think while also looting what that little foe has left, i could always sell it later for gold.)
//this is an investigation check right? independant of which one it is i have the same modifier so ye just curious.
- (i yell) FINDERS KEEPERS, LOOSERS WEEPERS! (i laugh) Ah just kiddin' mates, i'll share some of it with you all, equally of course.

//btw if i try to steal anything from the smith would it be a stealth check? what kind of roll would it be e.e cuz u bet ur butt i'm gonna rob this ol' men when noone is looking
Upon arrival at the blacksmith’s shop, Mialee will look for tracks at the main entrance. Making sure to take note of different kinds or number of sets. After which she will look over the outside if the shop to see if there are any clues of goblins spying or hiding.
///would this be survival and perception, respectively ?///
Alistar followed the blacksmith, he looked around carefully. He had his dagger ready incase there were any sneak attacks. Who knew if there were some more goblins hiding around? Alistar looked at the group, "Mialee? Right? Why dont you go check around, if you dont mind of course," he said. He looked over at Silental, "Me and Silental can check around the workshop," he said.
(Silental begins to examine the Goblin corpse. He seems to have been young. He's wearing dirty, ratty leather armor, a rusty dagger tucked in his belt,10 copper pieces and a few buttons and rocks in his pouch. The blacksmith tool seems to have caught him right in his little goblin heart, so you're pretty sure he died instantly.)
Spoiler for Silental:
OOC: Yes, it would be a stealth check. However... your alignment is Chaotic Good. Here's a little rundown of what that means:
Chaotic Good
A chaotic good character acts as his conscience directs him with little regard for what others expect of him. He makes his own way, but he's kind and benevolent. He believes in goodness and right but has little use for laws and regulations. He hates it when people try to intimidate others and tell them what to do. He follows his own moral compass, which, although good, may not agree with that of society.
Chaotic good is the best alignment you can be because it combines a good heart with a free spirit.
Chaotic good can be a dangerous alignment when it disrupts the order of society and punishes those who do well for themselves.
So you'd be going against your alignment, so your alignment might change, the way your teammates see you, especially any Lawful Good ones, like the Cleric, would change. Pandora would have to defend the innocent and it would cause a whole thing. You can do as you'd like, I'm just warning you what would happen if you got caught.
DMs note: Yes, those would be the rolls, Mialee.
Alistar, if you're just generally looking around roll Perception. If you want to look at something specific let me know.
OOC: I'll try to update 2x tomorrow to keep it moving.
(As i loot the goblin i take the 10 copper pieces)
- Hoi! Do any of you want some copper? I have like, 10 pieces. Smithy boy, want some too? Since you killed him it would only be fair. Do what you want with the corpse.
(my atention shifts to the broken pots and etc.)
- Hooooi, Alistar lad, I'll check the front part of this why don't you go and check the beds and stuff and when you are done you can come and help me or Mialee? Mialee can probably check the fenced in pen and the stables. Scream if you need help we'll come rushing!
(as i aproach the broken pots and etc i carefully step arround to not break things anymore and i investigate it) //so investigation check and maaaaybe some acrobatics to like not ruin the evidence? I'll roll the investigation now if u want me to roll anything else let me now and i'll do it real fast.
(Silental investigates the broken pots. They're clay, and at least 2 of them had water in them. But other than that they seem to have been normal pots that got broken in the ruckus.)
(hmm just normal pots... Better go investigate the workbench and then i can move and help the others... I investigate the workbench) //i'll assume Alistar was going to look arround just in general
- I'll be cheking the workbench, after that if any of you need help just call.
Mialee got down on one knee close to the ground to look more closely. (18) After looking more closely at the ground surrounding the door, she moved to the perimeter of the building to find any disturbed spaces close to the windows or doors. (11) . She shouts out to the others, "Have you all found anything inside?".

Alistar started to look around, he nodded a bit. He started looking arounf for any clues on where they could have gone or come in. He carefully looked around the windows and such, so he didnt mess anything up. He was just investigating to see certain places they had come in or where they had left.

//On my other post I originally got 25 but I deleted it because I didnt think I did it right, but that doesnt count since this is a reroll since I did do it right XD
(Siletnal looks around the workbench. It's a pretty basic Blacksmith bench, with an anvil and a waterbucket, tongs and a cheap hammer. The products seem to be mostly farming tools like plows, some horse bits and things like that. Doesn't seem to be much as far as weapons go. )
Spoiler for Mialee ONLY, the rest of you don't click here please:
Mialee, you investigate the ground around the area and you are able to perceive that there were about 7 sets of tracks. 6 appear to be Goblin tracks, and 1 seems to be from a small human. You follow the tracks, which seem to be going to a fence on the far northeast side of the property. It looks like it's been recently broken.
Spoiler for Alistar:
You investigate the area around the windows and find quite a few little tracks, probably Goblin. You can't really tell how many or where they're going, the tracks are just kind of everywhere as far as you can tell.
DM's Note: A little note about Spoilers: When you get a spoiler, keep in mind that this is information only you know. It's up to you to convey that information to the rest of your party. If you don't tell them, they don't know.
(look arround the workbench and there's not much, just some simple tools, etc)
(i go to Alistar and say)
- Well, i searched the front part, there's nothing here, doesn't seem like they entered thru the front door nor from the living quarters otherwise there would be footsepts near the workbench or maybe something knocked over, and not from the front because otherwise the goblins couldnt have an element of surprise i guess... Like who the hell enters thru the front doors when trying to kidnap someone? So my guess is that they came from the back. (i yell) MIALEE HOI! YOU FOUND SOMETHING? SEEMS LIKE THEY CAME FROM THE BAAAAAAAACK!

Looking at the ground closely and running her fingers gently over areas of worn terrain. She shouts, “Hey all! I found a few tracks back here. Maybe...five or six sets of tracks that look like goblin prints and one that is more human like.” Walking along those side of the path the tracks appears to be leading in and looking up in the direction of the broken fence. “I think they are leading out through there.” She points to the broken fence and illustrates where the tracks are as she walks along side them.
Alistar quickly went to Mialee, "Seems you are correct," he said, "I didnt find anything, seems like they did go through some kind of tustle," he noted to the group, "But atleast you found something," he said and smiled Mialee and followed her and the tracks. "Hopefully the little one is okay.." he muttered to himself.
(Rickard looks hopeful when he hears Mialee proclaim that one of the sets of tracks was a small human.)
"She was walking! That means she's still alive. Oh, thank the gods!"
(Rickard rushes to the living quarters and returns with some items, putting them into Pandora's hands.)
"I hope this helps you all. Please, maybe you can catch up to them!"
(Pandora looks at the items: a first aid kit with 2 charges, and a potion of healing.)
Info on First Aid Kit:
If you use a charge on an unconscious party member, they will stabilize and return with 1 HP.
(OOC: This is a homebrew thing, not an official item.)
DM's Note: If you all want to do anything else let me know, otherwise I'll assume you all want to follow the tracks. I didn't forget about you all last night, but I wanted somebody to kind of decide what you would do with the info you had. Don't be afraid to. I've messages Skonit to see if he's still playing.
While following the tracks Mialee will take a slow approach on following the tracks attempting to be undetected. She will look up from time to time to see if anyone is watching them .

(The party bids Rickard farewell and set off to follow the tracks. Since none of you are experienced trackers, you do your best but lose the trail a few times, causing some delays. Everyone is moving forward at a decent pace for several hours, but it's gotten dark. Those in the party without some sort of darkness vision light torches.)

This is the first battle and a good chance to test out any of your attacks, spells or skills you may not be too familiar with. Go nuts, as you will have a chance to rest and regain anything you use. Make sure to familiarize yourselves with the dice roller, use the practice thread if you need to.
