Your bolt punctures the orc's jugular. It staggers backwards, clutching at its throat, and falls to the ground.

The last remaining goblin watches her final comrade fall, and decides to make a break for it. All of you watch as the little figure hobbles away as fast as it can.

Aeron, as she makes for the underbrush, you hear her huffing and puffing, "Gotta protect the treasure, can't let them get the treasure, gotta keep the treasure safe!"

 Aeron seems the tinyest bit interested in this, and fires a light crossbow at the goblin, aiming for a non lethal wound to just down it: Attack: 12 Damage: 5

Rizo puts his hand on Aeron's shoulder, "Ah, let him go. She's not worth the trouble." Turning around to look over the battle's aftermath, "Is anyone hurt and in need of some healing?"

Depths plucks out their bolt from the orc, but can't seem to find the one which missed, and gives up.

Not me.

Aeron's crossbow bolt burrows deep into a tree branch just above the goblin's head. You hear her yelp in surprise and scurry faster, quickly disappearing from view.

"Not even a scratch on me," Revelry says, looking a little disappointed. 

((Would anyone like a short rest? This is when we're "supposed" to do it, but if no one needs it, I'm happy to keep going.))

"I wonder why they were waiting here for us. They didn't even want anything. We could have a rest here and try to see if we can learn something from their tracks."

(Rizo could use a rest, his wild shape feature powering the butterfly recharges on a short rest and is completely spend as of now.)

(Depths could use a rest too, although their fine without one)

 Aeron sighs as he misses, "She said something about treasure, i'd say its best to follow."

 *A rest is fine :D* *Aeron doesn't need it, but if the others do, its chill*

"They planned to ambush us earlier, i guess i scared them off. And instead they brought friends."

"Treasure? Hmm... maybe they've got something hidden out here that they don't want us stumbling across." Revelry squints into the foggy distance. "Luckily, with the way you sent them running, they shouldn't be hard to track."

She takes out a rag, and begins to clean and polish her elaborate longsword.

((Short rest it is!

Additional threats:

))

 "Well, its best that they don't die. One, i'm not.... the biggest fan of taking an un-needed life, and two we're able to track them back to their.... atleast village." Aeron says, polishing his holy symbol

"Fair enough. Can't say it bothers me much to kill a goblin here and there, but I know it's not everyone's cup of tea," Revelry says.

((When everyone is done resting, give me a group Survival check, please! Revelry gets a 3))

(Depths gets 12)

Rizo Survival: 20 (advantage if related to smell: 20)

Aeron survival: 22

Working together, you easily discern which direction the goblin went, and begin heading in that direction. You travel for quite some time, surrounded by nothing but trees, vines, and mud.

((Sorry about the delay!))

Just as you're beginning to wonder if perhaps you've lost the trail, you hear a rustling in the bushes. Four twig blights burst out of the underbrush, and charge at you.

Roll for initiative!

Revelry: 20

Twig Blights: 15

((...ok, I just looked at the twig blight stat block, and this is going to be an incredibly trivial fight. How would y'all feel about me making things a wee bit more difficult?))

Rizo 4

((I’m totally for turning on the heat. *thumbs up*))

*Works for me. More difficulty means more fun, better loot, and mroe xp*
