Cozubia moves 30 feet to get in front of the party and provide at least some degree of cover should it be needed. He pulls his shield up, standing behind it. He scans the scene and sees the bodies lying in the dirt and lets out a loud growl from the back of his throat, looking at the biggest of the goblins.
"Leave this place if you value your lives! Cozubia will not ask twice, goblin!"

Conlaed, running after the others, slows when he gets closer to the goblins. Before stopping, he chooses one at random and thrusts his hand like he is throwing a javelin. A spear of light flies from his hands toward the goblin.
As the attacks went off, Mordekai questioned just how far he was from the closest one. If he was quick, he could get close, but they would have an open shot. Let us roll dice then! (accidentally hit something, point is, Mordekai moved up 40 feet to the three goblins)

Ezid, having followed the peculiar group from the tavern, would be watching the recently begun combat ahead of him from behind the side of a nearby building, roughly 20ft behind the group. He would be watching with interest, to see if they're a strong bunch. maybe they held some information about his tome, or, could help him find it. Spectating from the sidelines, Ezid would try and observe their skills, seeing if any of them could assist him on his journey, or perhaps, if he could be of assistance to them. But for now, Ezid would merely watch, trying to stay hidden for the time being.
Upon seeing these grotesque creatures, the seven of you jump into action.
Iefyr, standing right in front of this recent massacre, steadies himself. Taking notice of the distance, readies himself as hones in his focus ready for the next strike.
Cozubia charges his silver dragonborn body, throwing himself in the way of his newly found partners and the green monsters that are ready to devour them. Trying to speak reason into these creatures, they all look at him with a cockeyed twist to their head and then their grin grows even large as some of them beginning licking their teeth, hungry for more.
Lex pulls out his books and thumbs through to a page, using his somatic notations, three bright red beams shoot from his hand. The first beam goes wide of its intended target. The goblin stops to laugh as he turns his head and see two of his horde standing with burning holes burned right through their abdomens. The two who were hit slump to the ground, adding to the bodies on the floor.
Carmen sees the hideous monsters and tucks herself around the corner of the nearby building. Peering out just around the corner, she takes her short bow and aims an arrow at one of the goblins. Her arrow fires and strikes the goblin right through his temple. Within a brief second, the goblin reaches up, feeling the arrow sticking out of his head and then immediately falls to the ground.
Conlaed throws a bolt of energy that manifests into a bolt. Right about to strike the enemy, the goblin by chance, happened to leap off the body, changing his height. The bolt streaks above him and off into the distance.
Mordekai stands, looking at the goblins, fists raised and ready. Waiting for those goblins to approach their death.
Ezid decides to take a moment and survey the field. Study it to see the best course of action. He takes a side step to the building opposite of where Carmen hid and tries to spy onto the field without being seen.
As three of the goblins took hits and immediately fell, the other four look at each other. A brief moment elapses as the decide what to do. They then turn back to the group and being running towards all of you. They get about 25 ft closer, one right in the face of Mordekai. the other tree pull out crossbows from their waists, loading on the bolts and loosening them toward the group.
The first bolt flies towards Cozubia. Attack: 7 Damage: 8
The second bolt streaks past him and attempts to land in the gut of Lex. Attack: 20 Damage: 7
The last bolt heads towards Iefyr. Attack: 21 Damage: 5
The one in front of Mordekai attempts to bite him. Attack: 20 Damage: 4
Iefyr continues his charge, bounding over the fresh corpses towards his target. The half-elf winces as the creature sinks an arrow into his shoulder (HP: 18) but he presses on, dropping low almost into a lunge as he thrusts forward with his shortsword, before springing up with a twist, sending his sickle swiping towards the goblin's side.
Shortsword (advtg from true strike): 23 Damage: 9
Sickle: 18 Damage: 6
If either strike lands, Iefyr will continue the motion, the twist becoming a full spin before stopping, both blades crossed in front of him defensively.
Mordekai raises his arm to defend himself, only to find the goblin biting into it instead. The glint in his eyes go off as the hidden fire wishes to ignite, but he holds it back. (HP: 10/14) You are going to enjoy game of Goblin Punt! Taking his free hand and swinging down in a clubbing motion, he expects the goblin to either let go to avoid, or if it didn't, it was going to get jostled loose.
Unarmed Strike - 10 Damage - 4
As the goblin is removed from the arm, Mordekai lets loose a different kind of fire, the kind that he was taught to see and harness. Time seemed to slow for a moment as he readied two more strikes, both upward kicks to the jaw of the goblin (Burning a ki point to use flurry of blows for two more unarmed strikes) Unarmed Strike 1 - 19 Damage - 4 Unarmed Strike 2 - 5 Damage - 3
As the strike hits, Mordekai feels the ki around the goblin and uses it to try and force it back (Open Hand Technique - It must make a Strength saving throw (12). If it fails, you can push it up to 15 feet away from you.)
As Cozubia watches the bloodshed around him and sees the goblins charge him and his compatriots, he sighs heavily. Lowering his shield as the arrow strikes it and shatters. Pulling out a small handaxe, Cozubia charges the nearest goblin. When Cozubia gets within range he lifts his shield and attempts to bring it down on the goblin's head with a loud roar full of equal parts anger and regret.
Going for a non-lethal shield bash to knock the goblin unconscious Attack: 13 Damage: 7
Remaining hidden, Carmen knocks another arrow and shoots into the fray aiming the goblin engaged with the other tiefling, who seems to be having a little trouble despite his fancy moves. Then she ducks back into the shadows.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As bolts streaked across the battlefield, some of you find yourselves being pierced by their jagged points.
Mordekai before being bitten by the goblin, readied his fist and finally let it fly as the goblin approached. Unfortunately, the goblin managed to evade the attack right before sinking hit teeth into Mordekai's arm as the swing went wide.
Iefyr, now close enough to strike, uses his [ability]True Strike[/ability] to take deadly aim. Using his short sword, he slices down towards the short goblin and slashes him right across the goblin's clavicle. The goblin dropping once the blade is removed from his body. With uncanny speed, Iefyr pulls his sickle and swings around in a beautiful display. Striking the goblin, the creature is still standing until Iefyr makes one final spin on his flourish, dealing just enough damage to fell the goblin. Iefyr's ending stance aiding in his defense in case any more goblins want to attack.
*Two goblins dead.
Mordekai, after being freshly bitten strikes back at the goblin who has his teeth deep in Mordekai's arm. Mordekai wails down on the goblins head, striking him hard enough that the goblin loosens his teeth. Mordekai swings again but the goblin had moved from his original position throwing off Mordekai's aim, missing the target once again. Still reeling from the pain the goblin struggles not to be pushed back. Strength Saving Throw 6
Lex, after making quick work of two previous goblins, focuses his aim the same goblin that bit Mordekai. After watching the goblin fly back 15 ft from the for a Mordekai's strike, Lex adjusts his aim. A bolt of fire frees itself from Lex's hand and finds itself striking right in the arm of a goblin.
Cozubia runs towards one of the remaining goblins with his shield up in the air. Approaching the goblin, Cozubia lowers the shield right on the nape of the goblin's neck, rendering him unconscious but still alive.
Carmen, staying behind the build, sees the injured goblin Lex fired at and releases an arrow into the goblin as well. The arrow burying itself deep within the goblins forehead. The goblin falls forward, its head still being propped up from the arrow wedged between the ground and his head.
Conlaed releases a flame at the fallen body just to make sure it is truly dead. The flame hits the body, burning the arrow in his head as the weight causes the arrow to snap, and the goblin finally hits the ground.
End "Initiative Rounds"
Taking a second to survey the field, it appears that no other goblins are currently attacking you. All of the seen goblins lay lifeless save the one that Cozubia managed to knock out. The three bodies earlier slain by the goblins are now accompanied by the goblins' bodies. You also hear the commotion back near the center of town also seems to be calming down.
Mordekai shakes his arm to try and dull the pain. I should have been more focused. Got cocky. Once more, the fist tightens and he digs his nails into the skin. I would have failed and been eaten alive. The chaos was coming down, but the goblins wouldn't have just rushed in and not know they were going to get stomped on. Something about taking the town had to have had a bigger meaning. Any of the green men still breathing? Would like to have chat.
Cozubia pulls out his rope and ties the unconscious goblin's arms and legs tightly. He stands, carrying the limp green bundle under his arm. He walks over to the others and places his hand on Mordekai's shoulder, letting the divine energy flow through his fingers.
Healing Mordekai for 5 hp with Lay on Hands.
"Is anyone else injured?" he asks, surveying their surroundings, eyes lingering just a touch too long on the bodies of the villagers.
Rolling perception to see if I know the victims. (Still rolling disadvantage) 4
For a moment, Iefyr is still, breathing heavily after the exertion. At the compliment from the warlock he snaps out of his reverie and beams back. “Thanks! All that magic stuff you were doing was amazing!” he says with a grin. Hearing the tiefling’s question, his eyes drop to the bound goblin. “If you want I can try and talk to him. I can understand him but I don’t know that he’ll be willing to talk.”
Cozubia hears the question posed to him, but doesn't answer immediately. Troubled that he is unable to figure out who the villagers are, he sighs and offers a silent prayer hoping that the victims find peace in death. After a moment of silence, he looks up at the brash human. "Not saving it for fun. But it may have answers to why it attacked. Cozubia wants those answers. And it is a little harder to get them from a corpse." Noticing the blood from the wound on Lex's side he nods to it and asks "Are you ok?"
He turns to look at Iefyr. "If you could. It is doubtful we get anything of use, but we have to try."
Cozubia moves 30 feet to get in front of the party and provide at least some degree of cover should it be needed. He pulls his shield up, standing behind it. He scans the scene and sees the bodies lying in the dirt and lets out a loud growl from the back of his throat, looking at the biggest of the goblins.
