Holzane, you manage, with some difficulty, to jump from tree to tree.

Vanoryn, as you get farther away from the camp, you start seeing chopped down trees and trampled vegetation. You assume that they have been here recently. 

"Further down there are tracks but no signs of a camp so we are getting close."  Vanoryn says addressing the group.  

"Let us commence slaying." Cross says, running with surprising speed to the location Vanoryn pointed out.

"What" Vanoryn says as he processes Cross' statement and exit for a second and rushes after him prepared for a fight.

All of you roll perception and stealth checks.

Stealth : 19

Perception: 18

Stealth:  25

Perception:  12

Stealth: 13

Perception: 21

Stealth (disadvantage): 1

Perception: 16

Cross is clearly taking no pains to disguise his approach.

Holzane, as you stealth along, you see, through the trees two goblin scouts, seemingly on patrol. You stop, turn, and tell your team to stop and be quiet. Right as you say that Cross walks into a small tree, causing it to fall over, and making a lot of noise. Alerting the goblins of your presence.

"Enough sneaking!" Cross roars. " Let us do battle with these foul creatures! "

Casting Magic Weapon on his greatsword for a +1 bonus to Attack and Damage rolls, he enters the fray. Initiative: 1

(These rolls....)

(Wow)

Initiative: 12

For this campaign, we won't be using initiative, and instead whoever posts first take their actions first. The enemies attack last. This should speed up combat.

(Gotcha.)

Cross plows into the first goblinoid, greatsword slashing downwards in a deadly arc. Attack: 20 Damage: 12

(Is it a goblin, hobgoblin, or bugbear?)

 "Stay close, friends!" Cross roars, the fire of battle in his eyes.

(Cross has healing spells and features, the Protection fighting style, and the Shield of Faith spell.)

Vanoryn will wildshape into a brown bear and attack the other goblinoid. 

Bite: 7  Damage:  7

Claw:  8   Damage: 12

Lars goes up to the second goblin and strums a single. subtle note and then lashes out at the goblinoid. calling the power Vicious Mockery (how do you link spells? anyways it's a DC 15 wis save or 3 Physic Damage and Dis-Adv on next attack. )  "you look like a stinking Otyugh you filthy Braggart!" 

Both goblins get completely destroyed. You assume you are getting very close to the camp. If you want to keep going, roll another set of stealth and perception checks.

"I say we go forward. they will be caught off guard. if we sleep they will see the fire's smoke" Stealth: 13 Perception: 10

"I agree"        Perception:  21   Stealth:   14

"Onward." Rumbles Cross.

 Stealth: 11

Perception: 23
