Lost Mines, Lost Labs, and Lost Hope (RobJFalcon's Campaign)

As the light rock flies past me I make my way forward to join in striking fear to the eyes of the goblins. 

Initiative: 14

 attempt to climb to bridge with inspiration

Athletic 18

Athletic advantage 18

Az Emberi shifts into a half-wolf thing. Not quite werewolf, but close enough to be a little freaky, once the lights come on. He leaps up the wall to climb to the bridge in an attempt to catch the goblin Hymir heard from that direction, but the spray from the splashing stream made the rock wall unexpectedly slippery, and he landed back on the ground. Taking a more careful approach, they slowly climb the wall toward the bridge and make it 15 feet up.

Hymir senses the urgency of the situation and throws his stone forward, illuminating the cave and finally allowing him and Absinthe to see. He moves forward, squeezing past Absinthe and Fjolnir to peek around the corner Eastward, keeping behind the wall for cover if needed.

What he sees, and what everyone else hears, are two goblins at the top of the stream banging on a wall, or dam maybe? They notice him peek around the corner, now that it's lit, and speed up the banging process. Hymir looks around for any signs of secret switches or weak parts of the cave, paying special attention to the chance of a cave in as to not doom them all to and unfortunate end, and sees nothing of note, good or bad. 

Az Emberi notices a goblin walk back onto the bridge, make eye contact with him and run back down the path. He assumes this is the lookout that tipped off the rest of them.

Dirk runs forward from the back of the party, yelling a battle cry, and makes it to a set of stairs leading into a large cavern with two pools of water and a waterfall that fuels the stream. A wide exit stands to the south. The sound of the waterfall echoes through the cavern, making it difficult to hear. He notices the two goblins beating on the dam, and also notices another one using a stalag-thing as cover.  Rapier drawn....  Upon seeing the little shits he roars, "ABANDON YOUR MISSION YOU FILTHY PECKS OR SUFFER THE FATE OF ALL YOUR KIN THAT FELL BY MY HAND!  YOUR SCREAMS WILL ONLY BE HEARD FROM YOUR SOON TO BE EVISCERATED ASS HOLES!" But it seems to have no effect on any of them, as they all continue what they were doing. He then sings a little inspiring rhyme about a tiny mechanical device that could to Absinthe, hoping it will inspire him to.... could.... and hurls his boomerang at one of the goblins banging on the dam, because that needs to stop, and bonks him on the head. The goblin flips him off and continues banging on the dam.

Absinthe runs up the path, now hearing more commotion and gets around the bend to the base of the stairs with Dirk. Seeing all the goblins, he moves forward again, getting in one of the goblin's faces that is hitting the dam. He smiles at it and cracks his knuckles in anticipation of its doom.

Fjolnir tries to keep the advantage of staying hidden, but realizes it's impossible in this light, and moves up the path to get a good shot at the goblins. He lets off a shot, but it was not good. It goes wide and the goblin grins at him, like a little shit.

Readjusting from the miss, he fires again at the First Goblin: Attack: 21 Damage: 8

Az Emberi continues climbing the wall after a moment of not finding good footing, and gets to the bridge safely. He takes a few steps down the path and yells at the goblin there, which makes it pause for a second, but other than that doesn't seem to scare it.

Hymir Starts running up the steps with a lot of furry and yells about his wizzardness, and fires off 3 magical darts at the goblin behind the stalagmite. It drops dead.

Goblin 3 strikes at Az Emberi with its scimitar Attack: 6 Damage: 5

Goblin 2 disengages (bonus action) with the goliath and runs south into the next room, out of sight.

Goblin 1 Takes one more good whack at the dam. The barrier gives way and the passage is suddenly filled with a mighty roar, as a huge surge of rushing water pours down from above at Dirk! The bard must make a STR saving throw.

Goblin 1 STR save: 12

"Oh damn dam damn...."  17    "Shi...."

Dirk, Goblin 1 and the light stone are all washed out of the cave with the rush of water. Dark and the goblin both take 4 Bludgeoning damage from getting knocked around the cave floor and walls, Dirk is prone, Goblin 1 is unconscious.

Dirk, Fjolnir and Absinthe, you're up!

"They've scattered!" Fjolnir shouts, "Light something!"   He drops the strung bow around his neck, palms his dagger and draws the Goblin scimitar while darting around the corner to pinch the Third Goblin between Az Emberi and himself, immediately attacking him from behind.

Scimitar: Attack: 3 Damage: 8

Dagger: Attack: 17 Damage: 5

Getting up "Ughhh....  you.....  You duplicitous Willow Chaser!  Look at you.  Look at your dumb ass." I say as I approach G1 "I'm taking your shit"  I search the goblin for anything, doubtful to be anything curative.  Normally wouldn't be something I do, but I'm to near death and bitter, I stab that prick in the eye.  "Say hi to your family for me"

Absinthe lights a torch and begins to chase after goblin 2. I doubt I have the speed to catch him, so I move that direction but hug the wall. If I can peak around the corner I will. 

Dirk angrily stabs the goblin in the eye, making it dead. He then loots it. (add 1 Scimitar, Shield and Shortbow to your Character Sheet, instead of party loot, unless you wanted to put it in the pile outside, then I'll add it there.)

Absinthe, seeing the goblin slink away and then losing sight of it, lights a torch and follows it to the stairs leading up in the south. He catches up to it at the top of the stairs and can see into the next portion of cave.

Sacks and crates of looted provisions are piled up in the south end of this large cave. To the west, the floor slopes toward a narrow opening that descends into darkness. In the middle of the cavern, the coals of a large fire smolder. There are two more goblins here, attempting to get behind the crates, and a "big one," and his wolf, caught in the middle of getting behind the stalag-thingy. "You dare enter cave of Klarg? Klarg crush large intruder to mush! Get 'em, Ripper!" The wolf snarls. Klarg Initiative: 15 Ripper Initiative: 21

Fjolnir steps behind the goblin in the passage, sandwiching it between him and Az Emberi. He swings a little high with his scimitar, but stabs the goblin in the gut with his dagger. (Doing 3 damage, you don't add the ability modifier to off hand attacks unless you have a feat, but you would have added your +4 to hit bonus)

Some secret DM shit I missed: 15

I snarl and swing my club at the goblin 

Attack  8 Damage 5

I cast healing word on me as a bonus action 5

Hymir mixed with fear and adrenaline having just seen his new acquaintance which he had disagreements with but still considered a friend traumaticly swept away and with him being plunged back into terrifying darkness. Decides that for the first time in his life he has it a real challenge and could die.

I run next to Absinthe as I run I vomit into my hand because I can barely process all these emotions. ..but then as I lock eyes with Klarg I feel a divine inspiration and using the vomit in my hand as a conduit I cast ray of sickness with DM advantage. Klarg makes a con save against DC 13 if it hits he takes dmg regardless but if he fails he is damaged and poisoned.

Az Emberi swings with his club, but the goblin dodges. He takes a moment to magically fix the gaping wound left by the thing.

Hymir runs near Absinthe, hearing the declaration of Klarg, and through all his mixed emotions vomits profusely. Trying to catch it in his hand, he gets an idea to use it as a component in his Ray of Sickness spell, targeted at Klarg. Even with careful aim, though, he misses the big guy, and takes a second to contemplate the law of probability.

The goblin sandwiched in the passage turns to strike at Fjolnir, since the wolf-person can't seem to hit anything.

The goblin on the stairs turns around and swings at Absinthe, along with one goblin with a shortbow in the back.

The other goblin with a shortbow attacks Hymir.

Goblin attack rolls: G1 and G2 vs Absinthe: 22 20 Potential Damage: 4 3

G3 vs Fjolnir: 8 Potential Damage: 6

G4 vs Hymir: 10 Potential Damage: 4

 Every. F-ing. Thing. Hit. (sorry that's a lot of damage) Absinthe passes out as a scimitar and an arrow hits him. Hymir and Fjolnir are low now, too.

Dirk, you and the wolf have the same initiative, but you're up, and I'll post the wolf at the same time.

I hobble my broken ass back into the cave, but take  the first right as far as I can get into what I can only assume is the trash room.  "Listen you primitive screwball.  We've torn through your ambush, torn through your defense here and you just tried to flush me out and I'm still back.  There are only two ways this is going to go so I'm going to give you this once chance to surrender.  We will turn you into the authorities but you live to fight another day.  The alternative, is I walk my ass back up this cave and shove my foot so far up your ass I kick your damn teeth out."  20

"Here I come."  I dash into the cave in the direction of my comrades.... funny, they are comrades now, just yesterday I would have cut and run if things got to hot..... I could die here.

Shrug damage6

I Take another swing at the goblin 

12 attack 7

Killing the Goblin I lose control hitting the corpse several more times as I shift back to my more human apperance. I sigh and say " Humanity is hard sometimes." 

I then move to Fjolnir to aid him on my next turn.

Absinthe, feeling the darkness close around his vision, instead strengthens his resolve and forces himself to stay up, just in time for Ripper the wolf to charge and bite at his leg. Attack: 6 Damage: 6

It misses.

Dirk runs back into the cave and yells threats through a garbage chute. (You still have an action if you want) Klarg looks around trying to figure out where the voice is coming from. "Daddy?"

Absinthe and Fjolnir, you're up.
