While the others settle themselves, Quinn draws his bow and aims towards the cave entrance. He looks back and says to the group “keep it down. There’s a dog barking in the cave. This ain’t over yet. Search and stash the bodies.”

Sir Roderick made a face but moved to pick up the bodies and throw them deeper into the scrub, searching through goblin pockets was decidedly unpleasant but he supposed there may be a key or a note or something.

Jurgen regains himself at the kind words. 

Seeing his friend injured he casts Cure Wounds on Syzygy. 

8 Healed

Sir Roderick finds a belt pouch on the goblin boss, containing 16 sp, but nothing else of interest. The other goblin has nothing. Roderick hides the bodies in the bushes.

The sleeping goblin begins to stir a little. Syzygy knows it is only seconds before it will wake up.

A dog continues to bark somewhere inside the cave.

Quinn backs up slowly towards the group. “That dogs still barking. We can’t have this sleepy fella wake up and sound an alarm. Or stab us in the back. I’ll take care of it.”

The ranger walks over to the downed goblin, raises his battle axe with a firm two handed grip and swings down on the goblin.

To hit: 13 for 7 damage.

(AC 15)

What should have been a straightforward execution goes awry. Following a sloppy swing, Quinn's battleaxe slides off its tough leather armor and delivers the force of its blow to the dirt next to it. Goblin DC10 Perception with advantage to wake: 13 

Up it springs, grabbing its scimitar and glancing around wildly, shaking off its disorientation.

Roll initiative (again) everyone!

Goblin: 14

Tessa

Initiative: 14

9 for Quinn. 

Syzygy Initiative: 13 

Sir Roderick Initiative- 14

Jurgen Init - 13

Initiative (reordered):

Tessa 14 (unaware; on other side of stream)
Sir Roderick 14 (adjacent)
Syzygy 13 (unaware; on other side of stream)
Jurgen 13 (unaware; on other side of stream)
Goblin 12
Quinn 9 (adjacent)
Bryony 15 (can see goblin; may used ranged attack)

Sir Roderick may act next. (Bryony may also make a ranged attack if she rolls 12 or higher initiative)
Quinn is slow on the (second) draw, and the others can't see what's going down yet. (They may act next turn.)

The goblin, trapped and fully awake, looks panicked.

A second dog begins to bark inside the cave. Jurgen and Syzygy catch a glimpse of movement with their darkvision inside the cave, up the short steps and in the eastern cavern. But it was too fast and vague to guess what it was.

The panicking, wakened goblin glances behind itself, perhaps sizing up an escape through the thickets.

Sir Roderick may act first, before it tries anything.

Sir Roderick dove in, " I must say I admire your mettle, Little One."

Attack: 7 Damage: 11

Bryony Init: 14

Bryony is startled by Quinn's decision to execute the sleeping goblin. Before she can protest, however, the execution goes awry, and the goblin springs up, scimitar at the ready. Sir Roderick is ready with his own brutal attack. The little halfling decides to end the goblin's suffering as quickly and cleanly as possible and slices her dagger through its throat, but she can't quite reach.

Sighing with frustration, she swings her shortsword instead. That should be enough to finish the poor creature, she thinks.

Dagger Attack: 7 to hit, 7 dmg

Shortsword Attack: 19 to hit, 9 dmg

The goblin is cut cleanly in two by Sir Roderick's longsword. By the time Bryony gets to it, the creature is very dead. 

Combat is over. Everyone may act.

" DO goblins usually keep dogs?  Wolves I have heard of ...though I suspect it is not a good life for such a noble beast."

" And of course Wargs.....though I suppose it could be said that they keep goblins..."

He glanced down at the dead goblin, " Stoic til the last and full of piss and vinegar", he reached down and took the goblins blade tucking it into his belt.  " Brave little fellow.", he said wistfully.

Intellect check to recall information about Goblins any known usage of dogs or wolves: 17*

(OOC: Rolled with adv. because goblins are Quinn's favored enemy and he has adv. with Survival and Intelligence checks against them.

BTW I accidentally rolled Investigation check instead of Intelligence, but he has the same modifier for both so I kept the roll.) 

Zyzygy turns to the kobold, "Jurgen, I appreciate the assistance. For your efforts… " and hands him 2 gold pieces. 

A little louder he announces to the group "I caught a glimpse of something moving just within the cave mouth. Whatever they are, I think they know we're here."

Zyzygy attempts to look into the darkness to see if he can spot anything [perception nat 1 + 3 = 4]
