New adventure

Feeling charged up from the dagger, Ian cuts himself with the other one repeats the pledge to Venomfang and attunes.  “ let’s get to the north and find Gundren.”

Arafiel follows bog

Stealth 16

Thagakh mocks Ian's self inflicted cut and broods to himself.

"Thagakh was cutting himself before it was cool."

He then releases a long sigh followed by a dejected expression.

"Yay, let's go the north tower..."

Stealth 12

stealth: 23

i’ll check to see if the area we are entering has any traps

This tower has almost completely collapsed, although the ground floor still has a little open space. Rotting crates and ancient barrels show that provisions were once stored here. A heavy curtain blocks a crumbling area to the south, and an intact door leads east. To the north, a short passage through the rubble ends before a screen of canvas.  There is a door on your left or a curtain straight ahead.  You hear low noises in both directions.

Thagakh tries to hear more clearly what are those low noises in both directions.

Perception 17

In the direction of the curtain you hear goblin voices but you can not tell what they are saying.  From the door on the left you hear hobgoblin and bugbear voices again you can’t tell what they are saying.

The half-orc whispers back to his group,

"Thagakh suggest we should take the goblins behind the curtain because they are easier to handle.

If we kill them fast and the other group behind the door hears us, we can ambush them behind the curtains."

Ian says, “Thagakh is probably right... Goblins are always fighting so no one else will think that them making noises is a big deal.  “. Ian gets his new daggers ready to fight with.

Tyrus, aware that his lack of stealth may ruin the plan, readies himself to jump in if needed.

Past the curtain is an open space with doors to the left and right.  Further into the area is a small hallway with an exterior door and another door near it.  The door to the left has the hobgoblin and bugbear talking.  The door to the right is quiet except for random scraping sounds.  The door at the far end has sounds of goblins arguing and water running.

Ian goes to the door with the goblin sounds to see if it is locked.

The door is unlocked and from the time spent with Droop you recognize that one goblin is cussing at two others.  The sounds are like a kitchen.

Boghadair readies his bow and arrow, nods to Ian and says using mind speech "You have covering fire whenever you're ready."

Thagakh transforms into a wereboar and performs the rite of the storm on his greatsword as he watches Ian ready to enter the room.

The half-orc gives a thumbs up to reassure Ian he'll be there when shit goes wild.

Ian kicks the door open and rushes at any goblins in the room attacking them with his new daggers.

“Where’s my Dwarf boss?” He yells as he attacks.

The western portion of this large hall ends in a wall of rubble, but the remainder is still intact. This must once have been the castle’s banquet hall, with a soaring ceiling twenty-five feet high. Two large wooden tables with plain benches stand in the middle of the room, and a brass brazier full of glowing coals is tucked into one corner. Dirty dishes, half-full stewpots, moldy heels of bread, and gnawed bones cover the tables.

Seven goblins are there to assist one big fat goblin in the cooking responsibilities for the castle.  Only the fat one is armed.

With all of the surprise from Ian, three of the goblins slip and fall to the ground.  Ian misses all attacks.  

Initiative 1st round... Boghadair, arafiel, Thagakh, Tyrus.... goblins.... Johnson will need to wait one round to enter the room.... too crowded.

Boghadair fires off an arrow at the only armed goblin.  He stays close to the door, so he does not block his companions from entering, nor get too close to a goblin.

Longbow Ranged Attack: 13; Damage: 8 piercing damage

Arafiel fires a ray of frost at the one closest to the exit

Thagakh releases a powerful swing at the big fat goblin.
