Bramble seeing Helena enter, will remain by the door. He will pull it 3/4 closed and position himself inside but with his head outside, allowing his eyes to naturally adjust to the darkness and be wary for any motion that occurs out there in the dark.

Sighing, Ryndar slips past Stigandr to move into the bedroom. Looking around he can see that the goblins have made a mess of the place, tearing up a straw mattress on the bed and throwing someone's belongings everywhere. Daerthe crosses the main room quietly, sidles past Stigandr, and joins Ryndar in the bedroom. She can't see the goblin, but calls out threateningly for him to stop. At this point, Helena rushes in, lighting up the main temple room. Quickly taking in the situation, she goes on. "Excuse me! Pardon me!" She passes Stigandr, Ryndar, and Daerthe to reach the door to the belltower. Glancing in, she sees the goblin hanging from the bell rope about 25 feet up. Bramble steps into the temple, pulls the door mostly shut, and keeps an eye out for trouble from without.

(We are ready for Round 2, starting with Essie, Stigandr, and the goblin.)

Essie follows the others to the other room, standing in the doorway as best she can. Given his 'take-charge' nature that she's witnessed so far, she reaches out and lays a hand on Ryndar's shoulder. Her eyes glow for a second as she casts Guidance on him. "You might need this."

(Can we auto-pass someone if they don't post? Maybe have them take the dodge action so we can keep moving?)

Round 2

Essie moves next to Stigandr in the doorway, reaches out to Ryndar, and casts Guidance. Stigandr would love to smash an enemy, but the bedroom is too full for him to push his way in. Instead he readies an attack on the off chance that any trouble comes his way. The goblin climbs another 10 feet up, causing the bell to clang unevenly, and reaches the sort of window opening at the level of the bell. He creeps onto the edge and yells out in a language most of the group can't understand, "Maach! Kherek-thar! Daan mel'daal Beedo! Maach!"

(Bramble, I am sending you the translation. Everyone else, what would you like to do? The order is now Ryndar, Bramble, Daerthe, and Helena.)

Daerthe moves further into the room, taking aim at the goblin. She lets out a breath as she attempts to hit it in the back as she lets her arrow fly from the bow.

Shortbow: Attack: 15 Damage: 10

Bramble will urgently shout across the room.

”SOMEONE SHUT THAT GOBLIN UP! THEY’RE CALLING FOR REINFORCEMENTS!”

Bramble will hold his position at the door, watching for those reinforcements.

”WE DON’T WANT TO BE HERE, TRAPPED, IF THEY COME!”

Cursing to himself, Ryndar takes aim at the goblin with his longbow, loosing an arrow towards the problem.

Attack: 12 Damage: 6

Round 2 cont.

Ryndar pushes past Daerthe into the base of the bell tower, aims, and fires. The arrow pierces the goblin's chest and he falls backward out the window. At this moment, the group hears Bramble call out his warning, but you all suspect that the goblin was silenced too late. His yell carried across the clear night air, and if there are more goblins about, they likely heard it.

(We will continue in initiative order. Everyone has time for one turn. Daerthe has every right to think to herself that she could have taken the goblin out if Ryndar hadn't pushed past her. Since he did, she can choose a different action for her turn.

Daerthe glares at the surface elf, cursing as she hears what Bramble says. With little else to do she will run towards the door and hunker down against the wall. She will keep her bow ready and hold an arrow until she sees a goblin.

(Bacially I will hold an action to attack as soon as another goblin possibly comes into sight.)

Smiling slightly at the drow's frustration, Ryndar notes him darting to the doorway and decides for another tactic. Looking up towards the window where the goblin fell, he uses Fey Step to teleport to a perch in the bell tower, hoping to get a view of the incoming goblins to both alert his party and snipe them from relative safety. He scans the village looking for likely targets.

Perception: 6

((Let me know if this wouldn't be possible, I can work out a different plan))

(Ryndar, it will be a little tricky to land and steady yourself, but I think you could do it. Please make an Acrobatics roll to see how well you do it.)

Acrobatics: 8

(Uh oh...)

"Reinforcements?" Helena says with a sigh. "I suppose there has to be more of them around, doesn't there." She moves back towards the door they came in by, nodding to Bramble as she approaches. "Guess this is as good a stronghold as we'll be likely to find." She says as she reaches the door. She will stay inside the building, letting her friends with darkvision have good sniping options if any goblins approach.

 (I just remembered that Essie cast Guidance on you, so you can add a d4, at least.)

Stigandr hates the idea of not smashing goblins, but he also understands how to fight with a group (previous actions notwithstanding), so he waits in the entry room, on the lookout for more goblins.

(Sorry guys, I'm about to hit my off days tomorrow, so 6 days of full posting! And I will try to work out a better system for when I'm on the job.)

 Ah yes, thanks for the reminder:

End of Round 2:

Daerthe with a glare and Helena with a smile, both move back out into the main part of the temple. Daerthe finds a place to put her back to the wall toward the northeast corner of the room. Helena moves all the way to the eastern wall, just north of the door where Bramble looks out into the dark. Her glowing stone lights up the room and shines out into the night (unless you want to cover it up).

(Round 3: Essie and Stigandr are up. Then we'll resolve Ryndar's Fey Step. Then Bramble can take his turn.)

Stigandr stands in the doorway, waiting for more goblins. "I will hold the door!" He tightens his grip on his maul. "This reminds me of the time me and my clansmen Volstek held the Grey Wolf Pass from a hunting party of verbeegs! You should have seen those ugly sons of mothers!"

(Hold and/or ready an action to attack this round if more goblins appear.)

Essie quickly evaluates the situation, her mind racing. She's not used to fighting, really, much less fighting with a group. So she takes a deep breath and utters a near silent prayer to her god, her hand clasped around her holy symbol. With a quick point at Stigandr, Bramble, and Daerthe, she casts Bless.

Then she moves over to where Daerthe stands and draws a crossbow of her own.
