Taraven seeing the Goblin getting further away. She will sheath her shortswords and pull out her bow. She will aim for the goblin running away and let her arrow fly.
Zene, your powerful healing energies flow through Naltic's body. (+6hp)
Taraven, due to the adrenaline you're feeling, you totally fumble the arrow the moment before release, causing the arrow to go almost directly into the ground in front of you.
So the goblin will now dash another 60 feet north, and the little bugger has gotten away.
Combat is over. You are all located in the same spot as the last map post. I'm thinking at this point, any previous investigation/survival/athletics etc. rolls should be redone as the circumstances are much different. The main one being that you can all notice a trail hidden behind thickets on the north side of the road leading northwest. This is where the goblin was running before he escaped your vision.
Zene takes a deep breath. "well, we barely got out of that alive. I think it's time we re-group and get on the same page about the next steps to take. My intuition tells me this journey will NOT be an easy one. Time to rest fellow travellers".
Naltic's eyes shoot open and he gasps for air. He stares at Zene like a deer in the headlights, trying to take in what just happened. After a moment of silence, he says, "Thank you, Zene."
Taraven, you do a very thorough searching of the goblin bodies. You find they are carrying nothing of any value or importance other than their weapons (scimitar, short bow) and armor (leather and a small shield). So there are 3 sets of these items.
Taraven will look at the goblin's belongings and say to the group, "From the looks of it, I am glad they were not stealing from travelers on this road. If anyone needs weapons or armor, here it is." Taraven will gather any arrows the goblins have (unless I am assuming they have arrows. They could just be carrying a short bow or used all their arrows since you just mentioned the short bow hahaha)
"Aye, Zene. A rest would be great right about now."
Yep, there's also about a dozen good arrows on them.
Taraven, while the goblins had nothing of value on them (other than weapons/armor), the saddlebags that are located on the 2 dead horses have been looted. Also, now that everyone has a moment to take a glance around, its clear that the dead horses belonging to Gundren Rockseeker and Sildar Hallwinter. (your employer). You know this because you remember what they looked like when Gundren and Sildar left ahead of you.
The horses have been dead about a day, and it’s clear that arrows killed the horses. This is an ambush site, no doubt about it.
About the rest, were you all thinking a short or a long rest? Remember, the goblin has successfully escaped and is most definitely heading back somewhere... perhaps it might return?
There's the path through the woods that the goblin took off on, and there's the road to continue to Phandalin. Or something else?
The oxen didn't really react to the skirmish, but are starting to get a touch restless.
The party regroups with a short rest and perhaps discusses the fight they just narrowly escaped defeat from.
Willi, the goblins had scimitars (instead of short swords), and so you grab the best looking one of the lot. Taraven is able to get some quality rest in even though its for a short period of time. Anyone else who wants to use a hit die please do so now. Doesn't look like anyone can regain spells though. Let me know if I am mistaken!
After the rest, if in fact you are going to follow the goblin trail, please let me know the marching order, most importantly who is leading the way.
The oxen and wagon plus the dead horses are still in the road. This may or may not be a issue depending on how long you're gone for.
Hit die for Willi: 9 I was mistaking proficiencies. Does any goblin have a simple melee weapon or a weapon that could be classified as firearm? Artificers dont gain proficiency with martial weapons and for some reason i picked darts instead of a crossbow.
And Naltic (a warlock) does regain slots on a short rest. the lucky one ; )
(did you want to retro change the dart to a crossbow? Especially if it was a mistake... feel free if you want)
The goblins unfortunately don't have anything else other than the scimitars, bows, armor and shields. They all actually seem to be outfitted in the same way. Like they belong to a larger group or something.
(it was not a mistake. i thought the darts would be cool but did not realize how impractical they are. i will not retcon that, as it is a "mistake" i made knowing what i'd get into. But willi will take one of the shields.
"If we want to take the cart with us, we will have to move the dead horses. But we must follow that goblin. It may know what happened to Gundren and Silar."

Willi, your dart sticks into a tree about 25 feet away.
Zene / Taraven are up!

Attack: 6 Damage: 10
Zene, seeing the opportunity to heal Naltic runs over to him and gently touches his shoulder. She uses cure wounds to get him back on his feet!!

What would you like to do?
Taraven would like to search the dead goblin bodies.

((I say short rest then follow the trail))
"Let us take a short rest. Then, follow that road the goblin went down."
"I think that's wise Taraven. A short rest and then let's take the road the goblin went down. Staying too long here we may face trouble again"
"I also think a quick rest is what's best for now."
Short Rest Hit Dice: 9
Then we will head down the path the goblin went when everyone is ready
A rest is a great idea. i think i have gotten away the best, but a breather would be great none the less!
Willi will take one of the goblins short swords
