This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Beetle still engaged with G2 and having no luck previously dispatching this creature once again turns to Tyr, “Guide my blade to strike true” he says as his long sword comes around on the goblin once again..
Beetles longsword crashes down in the firelight. The ringing of steel on steel barely audible over the deafening noise of the nearby waterfall. The goblin holds his own sword above his head, blocking the longswords descent towards his head. The goblins arms shake, and with a quick movement he forces Beetles attack away.
The mad bard then sprints across the room straight forward while drawing his rapier. He takes cover from the other archer, engages the goblin he just shot and says, "I'm not here for you. Flee and I'll let you live!"
Sneaking past the elderly Sildar, Syna swings his scimitar at the overpowered goblin. A critical hit! The damage Syna has caused is catastrophic. The goblin falls dead onto the blood pooling on the ground.
At the top of the stairs, Serak shouts out to his fellow combatants, but his voice is drowned out by the overwhelming noise of the waterfall in the previous chamber.
He weighs up his chances. As the wolf stalks him slowly, he casts a sleep spell, targeting the glowing embers of the fire pit. In an instant, the goblin to his left falls asleep, snoring peacefully. A second later, the goblin ahead of him is dosing off... then the wolf. Finally the goblin standing beside him, glaring, scimitar drawn, falls into a sleeping heap on the floor.
The entire room, has fallen to the bards effective spell.
The mad delighted bard then sprints across the room straight forward while drawing his rapier. He takes cover beside the pile of crates, turns to the sleeping goblin he just shot and says, "Sweet Dreams my pretty beast!"
Syna and Zyltris, you can use Seraks map if you decide to follow him into the southern chamber. Beetle, due to the darkness you will need to use Divine Sense as an action to locate any enemies in the next chamber.
Sildar aches from his wounds. Weakened and losing blood quickly he raises he bow in defiance, taking aim at the goblin relentlessly attacking Beetle (G2)
Sildar attack roll: 24 Damage Roll: 3
The veterans arrow sails true across the chamber, slamming into the goblins shoulder as he takes another swing at the paladin. It catches him off guard and the beast screams in agony. Sildar sighs heavily, his injuries taking a serious toll on him as he continues.
Thanks Kasian! That’ll help when we get going. If you guys want to post early at any time that’s fine. If it doesn’t work or make sense I’ll adapt it or PM you
Zyltris: I'm going to roll here for you just so we can keep going and not slow down too much more. If you want to do something different let me know and I can change the actions around before we start the next round.
Zyltris looks down at the goblin that Syna has slain. A clash of steel perks his attention across the cavern. Beetle and the goblin are still fighting hard against each other. Taking a hand axe from his belt, Zyltris steps out from behind the boulder beside him and hurls the blade as hard as he can against the goblin.
Zyltris attack roll: 9
The axe sails through the air but the throw is in accurate. The weapon deflects off the nearby dam lever and splashes into a pool of water.
The goblin fighting against Beetle is tiring, but continues his relentless assault of the lone paladin standing before him. The bonfire crackles loudly. Once more he raises his scimitar, slashing at his foe.
Goblin (G2) attack roll: 7
The rusted blade hits Beetle but fails to make a dent in the humans armour. The impact shakes the goblins arm viciously, sending shudders through its skinny sweaty body.
Serak in the southern chamber:
The three other goblins continue to snooze peacefully all around the southern chamber. The cave is peacefully quiet, the sound of rushing water drowning out the snores of the monsters.
Beetle still engaged with the goblin hears Serak calling out in the next room but has no idea what he says. The desperation fills him to finish his foe and go help if needed...
Attack 12
Damage 5
OOC: I've hit quite a string of unlucky rolls....lol
OOC: Every battle so far theres always one goblin that is invincible! Bad luck again Beetle, but at least you're not getting hit.
The stalemate between the goblin and Beetle continues. Beetles latest attack more desperate than the last, but is easily deflected once more by the goblin. This duel is equally contested, neither side giving or losing any headway, both equal to each others blows.
Across the chamber, Syna bends down and lays his hands on Sildar, "khay syla tvoya dastʹ vam sylu" 6. Healing the soldier. "Thankyou my friend" Sildar replies weakly, rising back to his feet with his new found strength.
Syna heads off towards the southern chamber following Seraks footsteps, skirting around the edge of the bonfire as it burns brightly.
After his short sprint Syna comes to a stop beside a goblin, fast asleep at the top of the steps. He spots Serak covering behind a crate at the far wall of the chamber, beside him another sleeping goblin. Along the left hand wall, Syna spots another sleeping goblin. On his right, a sleeping wolf. Serak has been busy!
In his pity, Serak fumbles his rapier. The blade slides out of his hand as he thrusts it forward and clatters to the floor. Serak, clearly embarrased at his error, sheepishly retrieves his blade.
The quiet hum of a sleeping wolf still emanates from the western side of the chamber. Serak and Syna turn their attention that direction as a set of heavy muscular footsteps can be heard from behind the adjacent boulder. Then suddenly, the wolf is kicked, and wakes up with a start.
Beside the wolf stands a huge muscled hairy beast. The size of a man, brandishing a morningstar in his hand, a set of javelins in a quiver on his back. A Bugbear! His sharp teeth gleam in the darkness, pointed ears twitch listening for movement. A menacing look crosses its sharp featured face as it spots Syna and Serak. His fist clench as he stomps towards Syna.

Sildar draws his bow again to support Beetle in his closely fought duel. His bow arm shakes slightly as he draws.
Sildars Attack Roll: 5
The arrow ricochets wildly off the nearby boulder. Anger and frustration flash across Sildars face, disappointed in his failure to assist his new ally.
OOC: Zyltris you'll be up next. Followed by Goblin 2. If you other guys want to put in your actions and attacks, I'll put them in the right order and update the round in the morning.

OOC: Gotta get to work, so posting a little out of order again.
Serak: To the goblins watching from cover, Serak simply waves his hand and the goblin and wolf collapse.
