And with that the group had set off to handle the Goblin's. Cobble offers them all a wave, doubly so for Jess. Heading out pass a half elf bumping into a dwarf. At the end of the town was a path that lead to a highway. Due to the Blacksmith's instructions and him oh so kindly marking a map for the group this seems to be the right path. Rocky road and grass on both sides, the terrain slowly became a little rockier and on the far left of the path? Was a large clearing that had shown with tall grass and a very humble camp with a large crowd of goblins eating turkey legs around a campfire.
OOC: Normally I'd have you guys roll survival for not getting lost and maybe perception if they are hiding/hidden but I wanted to help things along here for the first big encounter ^^
Drezmir, taking notice of the dwarf bumping into the half-elf woman heads over in her direction, "Is this guy bothering you miss?" He asks, standing squarely beside the two of them, hand resting on the pommel of his sword.
He addresses the dwarf, "You weren't trying to steal something from her were you? Thats right dishonorable. Now, if you took something, I would advise you give it back."
Turning to the woman, he says, "I'd say you'd best come with us, but we are heading off to deal with some cursed quest. So, if that's not something your interested in, I'd recommend heading to the tavern instead...it wasn't to bad in there." He hesitates, "Though you're perfectly welcome to join us if you wish. You look perfectly capable of handling yourself..." He glares at the dwarf.
The dwarf looks to Drezmir and to the half elf and sighs
"Caught me huh..?"
The uproar of the Liara and Drezmir cause a few guards to come on over.
"That's two witness's making that you're last strike Dune."
"..Aye one strike to many. Suppose it's time for this old dwarf to face the music."
"Thank you two for catching this man in the act, sharp eyes. Simon insisted this trash gets three chances. I swear he's too kind sometimes. Well move it Dune!"
While the rest of the group is headed to the confrontation with the thief, Kocino will join Sloden at the armorer. “We should make this shopping trip quick. The group is leaving.“
Vex looks to the orc. “I only have gold pieces, sorry if that is an inconvenience. I’ll take the two-silver one. Keep the change.” He grabs one gold coin from his bag and hands it to the orc.
He puts his glaive next to an empty table, then sits there, knowing that nobody has taken it. He awaits the orc to give him his order. OOC: this will be after the conversation with Dez because I hadn’t read through all the posts yet so this is before my latest post as of 3:00 pm BST August 2nd 2022 Edit: Yep Dez was talking to my character. Dez just misspelled a word
OOC: Pardon, but you forgot about my character. He is still in the tavern. This is when you were talking about you saying “You are all in the blacksmith” or something along those lines.
As Gilded and Drez pass the Dwarf/Elf scene, he watches as Drez invites the Elf and the police arrest the Dwarf. He sneers "Hmpf, This entire city is full of thieves" He quickly tells the Elf "I just caught someone trying to steal from me as well, maybe those with honor should stick together, join us in our small adventure to rid this area of goblins, mayhap you will want to help us on our bigger quest of cleaning up the entire city."
With that he catches up to his party as they come to the clearing. Trying to stay hidden, Can we see how many goblins (what are their weapons, do any have bows)? Are they all gathered together or spread way apart?
Using hand signals and quiet whispers, he tries to lay out a plan, That Drez, Gildaug, himself and possibly Sloden take positions closer to the clearing while the Druids, warlocks, and sorcerers take positions behind them.
They all release ranged and magic weapons together for a first surprise attack, then those with armor move into the fight while the magic users continue to pummel them with magic and arrows.
He askes his companions "Do you think this works best?"
Drezmir shrugs, holding the door open as he and Guilded take a seat inside the tavern. Taking the papers back (assuming Guilded returns the posters that Drezmir tore off the board) he says, “Yes, that could be wise.”He notes the strange party that had accumulated at the bar. Interesting, more outsiders.
He had been intending to go after the devil bandits first…demon hunting was more his type of adventure, no matter, all in good time. “I suppose if any of them wish to accompany us, it would improve our chances of…avoiding injury.” He smiles a little, noticing the bartender’s displeasure at the beaked patron. Hmm, interesting. He’d never seen anyone with a beak before.
“By the way, the name is Drezmir,” he leans over the table, offering a hand to the Dragonborn. “You seem like a nice fellow, so you can call me Drez if you like.”
OOC: Edit: I don’t know if you are talking to me specifically, and past me assumed that. I will edit my other comments for this one. I have to go back in time for this one, sorry if that troubles you. IC: “Hello there, Drez. I am Belin, but you can call me Vex. Is there anything you want me to do?”
Gildaug unslings his shield from his back and places his arm through the enarmes to grip the bar. With a slow, practiced movement he draws the plain sword at his side before taking a kneeling position at the front of the group. "Aye, surprise, it would seem to be on our side," he says in a quiet voice to those behind him.
Because Dez was talking to my character he just misspelled one word, I have to back in time again. IC: “Nice to meet you Gilded. Haven’t seen a fellow Dragonborn for a while. I come from Romalia.” Vex said as he turned to Gilded.
OOC: For any conversations in the past before finding the goblins that is okay. If you want to see more of the goblins that what's described have to use either 1: Sneak to get closer and see or 2: Perception to be able to tell. You are a great distance down the road as to not let goblins see even you're louder/clunkier friends. As for entangle she could hit 4.. Maybe 5 she'd have to take a better look to see. Also for Kocino the shield is only 2GP. If you want you can buy the shield and catch up with you're friends quickly. Or you can stay and talk to the armorer/investigate etc. The choice is yours. Also I already talked to Liara/Kirai and she will be joining you all as well.

The girl looked at the dwarf her eyes narrowed. She already noticed that he was trying to steal from her.
"Don't try to lie when you are obviously trying to steal from me."
She wasn't happy about this, but she was alone so maybe this had been her fault. She moved away from his hand quickly.
OOC
The party can see this interaction between her and the dwarf if they wanna stop before the goblins or they can keep going. Up to you guys ^^

Corvus simply shakes his head, and continues on his way.

While the rest of the group is headed to the confrontation with the thief, Kocino will join Sloden at the armorer. “We should make this shopping trip quick. The group is leaving.“
Sloden nods to Kocino. "It's not actually a shopping trip. I'm simply following... Call it my gut," He slaps his paunch and chuckles a bit.

Jess suggests that she could cast a spell that should hold some of the goblins in place, making them easy targets for spilling out their life liquids.
( OOC how many goblins could she get with entangle? )
Kocino looks at his new friend with a curious glance. “Huh… Either way, I wanted to grab a shield.”
OOC: back to the present. IC: Vex feels like he grew a tiny bit stronger, and he didn’t know the cause.
Because Dez was talking to my character he just misspelled one word, I have to back in time again. IC: “Nice to meet you Gilded. Haven’t seen a fellow Dragonborn for a while. I come from Romalia.” Vex said as he turned to Gilded.

(OOC: To catch up here.. Do we need to wait for Liara and Vex, or do we assume they are with us?)
