"You'll give us a sign when we can strike? Something like a positively decent goblin yelp?" Rizo passes guidance onto Depths (which means it stops for Aeron).

 "I'm don't think we need to kill them depths," He tells her/them (I forgot, sorry), "If you can just knock them out that would be better." Either way, aeron casts enhance ability, giving depths the cat's grace boost (Advantage on dex checks(meaning stealth), and no damage from up to a 20 foot fall)

 Okay.

(It's fine, Depths is a he tho)

(Depths is now under the effect of Guidance and Cat's Grace, plus will be going for nonlethal hits.)

Depths sneaks through the leaves, attempting to not make any sound or indication that they're there (and also using Guidance).

Stealth: 32

 *WOOOOOOOO!!!!! Fabulous roll :D*

As you sneak into position, you get a clearer picture of what lies ahead: a few dirty canvas tents and a poorly constructed hut surround a crackling campfire. Two orcs stand guard near the hut, while two goblins with bows perch in the trees, keeping watch. A ferocious-looking hobgoblin in half-plate armor stands by the fire, glowering as a third goblin polishes his boots.

((Depths, make a Perception or Investigation check.))

Investigation: 8

(what a coincidence, that's Depths' Passive Investigation)

You see a tripwire stretched between the two trees where the goblins are keeping a lookout. Further into the clearing is a patch of ground that looks to have been carefully covered with large leaves, as if to disguise some sort of pit trap.

hmmmm. seems the goblins have taken up the trapping. How will I get a message to the others? Hopefully they know this sound.

Depths picks up a rock and rolls it at the tripwire, and swiftly sneaks into another section of the camp.

(Do I need to roll stealth for that, or does my earlier roll suffice?)

The rock rolls forward, bumps against the tripwire, and - WHOOSH, a net full of sharp sticks and heavy branches plummets to the ground around the wire. The goblins erupt into shrieks and chatters, and everyone's attention is diverted to the trap. The commotion continues as the shoe-shining goblin scurries over to see what set off the tripwire, and Depths slips away into the shadows, confident that it will take the camp a moment to realize it's a false alarm.

((I say we let that epic roll ride. Everyone else, if you'd like to use this moment to sneak closer, you can make Stealth checks with advantage.))

 Aeron will attempt to move in aswell:

18

Revelry 17

Rizo will stay put but prepares (readies) to dash in should there be a disturbance (that is anyone attacking someone). 

Depths checks the rest of the camp, noting how deep the pit trap is.

The pit is covered with leaves, so you can only guess at its depths ((😉)). Based on the small mounds of earth and the wood shavings that surround it, you'd estimate it's a few feet deep, and lined with spikes.

Aeron and Revelry use the distraction to move forward within 20 feet of the edge of the clearing, while Rizo stays on guard 50 feet back.

Depths looks at the others, trying to make a face/look that asks them, 'What now?'

In preparation for the obvious fight, Ryzo consults the wood spirits, casting Guidance on himself and remains ready to sprint to the aid the others.

 Aeron does a small bit of sign language 'knock out many you can?'

Okay. But first,

Depths uses a bonus action to try and activate Insightful Fighting

Insight: 18 

((Is that against the goblins, orcs, or hobgoblin captain?))

(The Orcs. If I can only use it against one, Orc A.)

15

You notice that one of the orcs is picking his nose - really digging around in there, up to the second knuckle - and feel confident that you could sneak attack this one.

((We'll definitely be getting a surprise round here, so once Depths takes his shot, we'll roll our initiative.))
