Yes. RAW doesn't cause AoO from standing up. But a lot of things in this campaign doens't follow  normal rules. This whole fight can be seen as a violation of RAW because of the very weird way cover works. If the majority thinks that AoO from standing is too brutal and doesn't make much sense (I think it makes sense), I will remove this house rule.

Quote from ZulkRS >>

To answer your question, just standing up will trigger AoO. This is to make recovering from unconsciousness/ getting brought back to life more punishing. You can argue being prone is punishing enough but ranged attacks have disadvantage on prone targets so being prone has some benefits. Though the AoO that is triggered will not have advantage.

(Correcting me if I'm wrong, just trying to catch up on the couple of pages of progression)

Elsara will stand over the unconscious Val and attempt to stab at the goblin who felled him with an emanating thunder spell.

Booming Blade vs. Goblin 13: 10 Damage: 9 piercing, if the target willingly moves before the end of its next turn it takes 5 thunder damage.

(Wow, great for the damage rolls, not so much the attack roll)

(I assume Gendan can see the goblin in P2through the torn curtain if I’m in O3, if not, Gendan will move to Q2.)

Seeing Folki tear through the curtain, Gendan rushes over to silence the screaming Goblin. 

 Attack: 13 Damage: 4

(OOC: I think the AoO is a good idea, imagine trying to stand up without giving someone next to you an opening to attack. Though I agree that it would be very useful of having a list of the homebrew rules like this so we can make informed decisions rather than just stumbling into them)

(Can I suggest that the attack of opportunity can be avoided if the prone character has an ally engaged in melee with the enemy?)

Elsara moves over to the unconscious Val. She moves to 16I and protects Val's body from incoming attacks. Elsara's blade rings with thunderous energy. Goblin13 at first thinks about blocking the attack but when he sees the magic energy flowing around the blade, he makes a last second decision to swing left, effectively dodging the attack.

Gendan, you can't see the Goblin from O3 but it doesn't really have any negative effect since you have both advantage and disadvantage to attack at the same time and it cancels out. Same thing for AoO. If anything, it just prevents the casting of sight based spells. Gendan moves to O3 and swings at the curtain using the goblin's sobbing to guide her blade. The curtain rips. You can now see the through O3-O2 area of the curtain. Goblin6 sees a blade rip through the curtain and begin to come down on toward her. She tries to move away but the blade grazes her and causes a cut in her chest that bleeds.

Folki's turn

(I'm working on adding the list of House rules)

Seizing the opening created by Gendans arrival, Folki continues to batter at the goblin.

Attack: 18 Damage: 6

Still enraged, Folki moves to 2R, searching for more foes.

Goblin6 tries to dodge Folki's axe but her distressed state has take a toll on her combat prowess. The axe misses the head but it does manage to chop the goblin's arm off. The female goblin draws holds up her scimitar and says, "I... Can still fight." She has lost too much blood and she falls next to her dead friend. She mutters out, "Who am I kidding? I'm sorry Rory. If we meet in the next life, I hope you can forgive me." She closes her eyes and doesn't open them again. Folki doesn't find any more goblins.

Skiirod and Gym.

Seeing no more down the corridor, Folki moves back into the main room (4P)

Looking over his shoulder to Gendan he says:

"This is all to close....... where do they keep coming from?...."

Skriiod will aim at G13 still fighting this Goblin one on one, he wil viciously swing his sword into the side of the goblin.

Attack on G13. Attack: 9 Damage: 8

Skiirod goes in for a horizontal cut. The goblin blocks the blade with his own blade.

Gym's turn.

Gymgiel will take advantage of Elsara and Skiirod fighting the goblin by Val and help stabilize him with the aforementioned elbow grease. Medicine Check: 10

Gym, to stabilize Val you need to move to a block that is 5ft of him. You are currently in 18J. You have G13 picered. This means any attack you make on G13 has advantage from this position. Are you sure you want to move to 17I (only place you can move to in order to stabilize Val from and not trigger AoO)?

[OOC] Yup, get keep the friends on their feet. Hopefully Elsara and Skiirod can handle it.

Quote from WibblyWoobly >>

Gym, both hands clasped together, slamming them into Val's chest, "It's! Not! Yer! Time!"

Goblin13 looks around. He sees that all his allies are dead and he is surrounded by 4 other adventurers. He says, "Looks like today's the day I'm going to die. It is impossible for me to win this fight. The commander didn't train stupid goblins after all." He sighs and spits out some more blood. "But I won't give up. For us goblins, it's victory or death. That's the situation your kind put us in." The goblin raises his scimitar and slashes at Elsara. Hit: 10 Dmg: 8
The blade is repelled by the magic force of the Mage Armor.

No need to worry about initiative anymore. Everyone, your turn.

Elsara instinctively slashes back as part of the counter parry.

Shortsword: 21 Damage: 9 piercing.

Skriiod Growls and slashes at the Goblin as their epic fight continues.

"You fought valiantly. You were the toughest of all these goblins. You can feel proud."

Skriiod says as he swings his sword towards G13.

Attack: 6 Damage: 6

Still in rage mode, Folki will dash down the left corridor behind the curtain (2A), again looking for any foes or any signs of more goblins.

Perception: 16

(PS: that goblin fuuuuuuuccked!)
