My bad, I should have attacked twice and maybe killed one of them.

Victory clung heavy in the air, the last tremor of battle fading into chirping birdsong. Daewen, muscles screaming from relentless archery, surveyed the carnage below. Twig blights lay broken, ash zombies smoldered extinguished, and the once-menacing giant spiders were nothing but lifeless husks.

With a practiced ease, Daewen descended the rickety tower stairs. Each step across the battlefield held the wary respect of a hunter. A hand drifted to the raven pendant at her throat, a silent prayer sent for the fallen. Twig blights, returning to dust. Ash zombies, cooling grey. Spiders, still and hairy. Each earned a murmur, a goodbye as their souls journeyed on under the Raven Queen's watch. A pang of sorrow flickered - pawns in a darker game - but resolve hardened her features. With a sigh, she shouldered the weight of battle, a seasoned warrior ready to face what came next.

As Vex climbs down from his perch in the tower he casts a spell and 10 goodberries appear in his hand. He doles out several of them to whomever needs them and then quickly moves to Dorah. Giver her a huge hug and scratching her under the chin. Vex will put away any of the goodberris that have not been used and then poll out some meat for Dorah to eat, unless it is determined she enjoys the "spicy" taste of spider.

"That fun, when we do next?" Vex will ask the group.

1. Wyvern Tor
2. Old Owl Well, Undead with Red Wizard of Thay
3. Banshee's Vanity quest completed, interest in returning to kill the Banshee
4. Cragmaw Castle
5. Family Heirloom in Thundertree
6. Young Green Dragon in Thundertree
7. Owlbears on the Triboar Trail

What's next?

It will take a few days to travel to Cragmaw Castle. You have directions from multiple people and you have taken out the scout cave at Wyvern Tor. All that is left is the Goblin and Orc stronghold, an old castle built by Wizard Nobles of old Phalorm, back when they were once in control of the North.

The castle consists of seven crumbling towers of different sizes and heights, but the upper stories are all in varying states of collapse. A short flight of steps leads up to a terrace in front of the main entryway. Past the wreckage of a pair of sundered doors lies a shadowed hall. Round towers loom over the entranceway, with dark arrow slits looking down on the terrace

Daewen crouched low, her heart hammering a frantic rhythm against her ribs. Pressing herself against the rough stone, she melded into the shadows (Stealth: 13). Her mind raced. Were there any patrols lurking in the darkness? What dangers awaited them beyond the shattered doors? She unsheathed a rapier, its edge glinting faintly in the dying light. Carefully, she inched forward, each step deliberate and silent.

Reaching the edge of the doorway, Daewen paused. The hall gaped before her, a black maw filled with an inky darkness that seemed to writhe and pulse with unseen dangers. Taking a deep breath, she squeezed her eyes shut, picturing potential layouts of the castle foyer (after seeing many a castle in her youth). With a silent prayer, she darted through the doorway, her senses on high alert. A single, silent footstep echoed in the vast emptiness, swallowed by the shadows as she pressed herself flat against the opposite wall, straining to see into the gloom.

Bot-ing everyone except for Daewen

Daewen Stealth 9
Jyin Stealth 2
Wilhorn Stealth 13
Vex Stealth 11

Goblin surprise round Perception Check 11

One Goblin projectile comes out of an arrow slit, aimed at Jyin and another comes out of another slit, aimed at Daewen. Roll initiative, you are being ambushed by Goblins

G1 attacks Jyin, Attack: 23 Damage: 7
G2 attacks Jyin, Attack: 12 Damage: 4

G1 initiative 8
G2 initiative 9

Round 0
Wilhorn, Vex, Jyin, Daewen (surprised)
G1, G2

Daewen's initiative: 19

OOC: These archer slits in the walls - how high up are they?  Meaning, can we ranged attack back, or are they too high such that we can't fight back and we have to rush in to the doors?

G1 attacks Jyin, Attack: 24 Damage: 11
G2 attacks Jyin, Attack: 14 Damage: 8

 I assume G1 attacks Jyin and G2 attack Daewen (matching your text in the sentence above), and also the fact that G1 is next to Jyin, and G2 is next to Daewen?

Vex Init: 10

Hearing the arrows thinking into his companions Vex pulls out his Hand-crossbow and turns to his left and can barely see the goblin behind the arrow slit. He carefully aims, squinting in the sunlight and will fire at G1. Dorah's head snaking out from over Vex's shoulder to breathe on her bolt as it streaks toward the enemy.

Hand-Crossbow Vs. G1: To hit: 16 Piercing Damage: 8 Infused Strike: 5 Total: 13
