"I highly doubt we will be able to follow them for long without being noticed. We take them out now while we can still have the advantage of surprise. Focus on the ones we can see but be wary of others." Daryos says quietly and firmly, then swiftly weaving his magic, making a few quick gestures with his hand, the ring shimmering on his finger as he utters what sounds like a short prayer, bolstering the others in his team to excel.
Nesyax tries to get an idea of how many creatures might be above. (Perception: 18) 'With three we saw down here, is there another 2 above? Or 3? Seems like a lot.' She is ready to move off after them as they go, hoping there aren't too many for their group to handle.
With things seemingly escalating at a steady pace, Vesna focuses on the area of where she thinks the creatures are, judging by the voices, splashes of water and other sounds, and mutters a spell for Faerie Fire, hoping that the spell will be able to cast some (green) light on the situation.
Nesyax was fairly certain she heard two creatures in the building jump down and join the other three that were trudging through the stream. The festering water in the stream becomes more filthy with each due to the small pipes filtering waste into the waterway.
As the party silently moves around the building, they see a total of 5 Faevlin as described by Amber at Leadbellys tavern. In the darkness they appear to be teal colored goblins with their heads twisted upsidown. They are each holding scimitars and have shortbows attached to their backs. They also appear to be carrying rope and empty bags from their waists...
They are walking single file closely together. the strange eerie giggling can be heard coming from the creatures as the wind carries the sound through the streets. They don't seem to notice the party at first as you flank them from behind the abandoned building.
OOC: So I will say Stasyn was able to cast his mage armor during this time. I would like you all to roll initiative and then declare what you would like to do in this surprise round. Then we will start the first real round of combat.
Nesyax moves to close the distance towards the creatures. (But not get into melee range.) She shouts at the nearest one at the back of their single-file line, casting Vicious Mockery.

Vesna initiative 10
Vesna gets her crossbow ready with a nice bolt, then aims at one of the goblins and shoots. Attack: 18 Damage: 7. Afterwards, she continues moving trying to follow after Kitaer, so the minotaur doesn't get surrounded or something by the vile creepy creatures.

-Vesna Mutters her words, a Ghastly green fog materializes around the 5 goblinoid creatures. As The fog materializes, most of the faevlin leap away and avoid the effects of the faerie fire spell. The goblin in the middle of the pack isn't able to move away intime and quickly finds himself glowing green in the darkness. When the Minotaur moves to rush the enemy, Vesna stays close to her large hairy companion and advances towards the faevlin
OOC: Attacks on Faevlin 3 are made with advantage. They are lined up in order from 1 to 5 with 1 being the closest and 5 being the farthest away. Faevlin 3 is the middle one and the one that Kitear is attacking
The four faevlin that manage to avoid the glowing mist stand and examine the one that is now glowing green in the middle of the stinking stream. Before they get the change to look around to see what caused it however, the group of creatures are suddenly attacked by the party.
-Kitear races forwards towards the glowing green faevlin(3) from around the building, slashing hard with his great axe that shimmers green in the night as it reflects the light shining from the enemy in front of him. (OOC: I rolled again to reflect advantage and you got a 23, hope you don't mind) His axe bites down hard into the chest of the faevlin(3), sending a spray of dark blood to cover the arms of the minotaur.
-Nesyax moves around the corner of the building next, advancing towards the line of creatures before shouting our towards the closest faevlin(1). The creature nearly drops its scimitar as it clutches its long pointed ears. A small trickle of blood drips from its ears into the stream below. The creature then turns and smiles wide towards Nesyax...
-Daryos rounds the corner and quickly unleashes a bolt towards the farthest Faevlin(5). The bolt whistles through the darkness and just barley misses the creature. The faevlin looks around but fails to see you as you quickly duck back around the corner of the building.
-Stasyn moves from around the corner of the building and sends a searing blue flame streaking through the darkness. The light of the firebolt is reflected in the stream surrounding the creatures feat to give the impression of two flaming spheres soaring through the air. Seeing the bright blue flame heading his direction, the creature is able to quickly duck under the bolt before it slams into the rocky bank of the stream behind it.

Faevlin 4 - The teal goblinoid giggles wildly as it looks from his glowing companion towards the hulking minotaur. The creatures flashes the minotaur a smile before its blade flashes in the darkness as it attempts to stab Kitear in the stomach! Attack: 17 Damage: 3
Faevlin3 - The wounded goblinoid lets out a ear piercing screech as blood beings pouring of it its chest. With one hand it desperately tries to keep its chest together and with the other it swings hard at the minotaur with its scimitar, hoping to strike him hard in the shoulder. Attack: 6 Damage: 4
Kitaer sidesteps F4 only to move right into the arc of F3's swing and taking a solid blow from it's scimitar. (8 dam taken, 4 goes to temp HP granted earlier...). Growling, Kitaer renews his attack on F3.
Greataxe Attack: (22 or 17, due to advantage from Faerie Fire) 22 to hit for 12 damage
Kitaer uses his Hammering Horns feature (assuming he hit) to jerk his head and hook the Faevlin on his horns and toss it 10' up into the air.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The Minotaur nearly cleaves the faevlin in half before hooking it's remains with his horns and tossing it into the air before it has a chance to fall to the ground. The corpse tumbles through the darkness like a ragdoll before landing in a glowing puddle next to the filthy stream. (it's dead)
Faevlin 1 - The giggling goblinoid rushes towards the bard and leaps towards her. The creature slashes wildly while continuing to giggle sadistically Attack: 13 Damage: 7
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Despite her best attempts to avert her gaze, Vesna witnesses the gruesome death of the faevlin, but somehow manages to not faint at the scene. Perhaps she is getting used to this whole world of violence and death?
Since she's found herself closer to the enemies, she draws her mace and approaches Faevlin 2, trying to attack it.
Attack: 16 Damage: 7

Vesna strikes hard at the nearby faevlin before it has a chance to react. The sound of snapping bone echoes through the night when the weapon impacts with the creatures chest. Stumbling backwards, the lets out a gargled giggle as blood flows from its mouth.
Faevlin 2 - looking around, the creature quickly disengages and scurries up the bank of the stream and scrambles through the shattered window of building C before disappearing into the darkness. (it attempts to hide)

(Cast Bless on Kitaer, Stasyn and Nesya :-)
Kitaer will quietly try to engage the creatures before they notice him coming to attack... But I shall wait to attack for initiative and such :)

(Nesyax Initiative: 8)
Nesyax moves to close the distance towards the creatures. (But not get into melee range.) She shouts at the nearest one at the back of their single-file line, casting Vicious Mockery.
