“Interesting. A such a pity that this place has fallen to be the den of evil creatures. But such is the circle of life. Our bodys, now alive and full of energy, one day will serve as food and shelter for insects.” 

Gendan is very cautious as she sweeps the hallway for traps. The lore in the paintings is uninteresting to her. 

Perception for traps: 4

“Shall we check out the small door or the big double doors next?”

Gendan detects no traps in this hallway.

Folki follows behind Gendan 

"let's go for the big one!" 

 Elsara seems too transfixed to be paying attention to the others. She slowly puts a hand on the bottom of the large tiefling statue. "It's such a pretty statue." She says to herself. After a brief moment she looks to the others. "Oh, are we going already?" She hurries to follow the others.

Skriiod will follow the others, keeping up with them but letting them search for traps

(The statue is only of the half-orc warrior. The rest are paintings.)

You push open the large double doors and enter the next room. It is a large stage area. It was probably used to deliver speeches in the past. It is another large sloped room. The ceiling is 60ft tall. The entire room slopes downward. Inside you see lots of goblins.

Battle map:

Each square represents 5ft
The one who opened the door, choose a starting position between 17H or 18H
The rest of you, pick any desired, unoccupied location among: 17E, 17F, 17G, 18E, 18F, 18G.

Roll initiative.

Goblin initiative (Spoilered for shortening. Feel free to read)

 New Cover type: 1/4th cover. Adds +1 to AC.

Gendan swings open the doors. (17H)

Initiative 16

Initiative Order (Again, spoilered to save space):

(I'm posting this early to help myself more than anything else. I will edit this post as more people roll)

(What are the squares on the battle map? Pillars? Tables?)

Oh right. Those are chairs. The larger square on the stage, is a table/tall stand where we put our microphones during speeches (I don't know what those are actually called).  The 15ft, 10ft, 20ft etc written next to some spaces on the map is its elevation from ground (0ft). There are stairs at 6I which go up to the 5ft high stage (Row 2-5). The curvy line that separates Row 2 from the rest of the map is a large red curtain.

The word you’re looking for might be lectern or dais. 

(Yes that. Thanks.)

Folki pokes his head around the corner behind Gendan (17G)

"Are they having a convention?"

Initiative: 14

Valwarin notches an arrow on his bow and gets ready to fire at any goblin who shows signs of spellcasting or has a ranged weapon once he enters the room. 

(Start at F8 moves to I8 Initiative: 23) 

(You mean F18 right?)

Initiative: 2 in square 18G

Skriiod looks as the doors are open, waiting to see what happens. 

Initiative 6
