As you enter the yawning cave mouth, 12 feet wide and 20 feet high, you see a vast cavern with a forest of stalagmites in its center and 10-foot-high ledges along its walls. Water drips from the stalactite-covered ceiling, which rises to a height of 30 feet in the middle of the cavern. Those with darkvison see six naturally formed tunnels lead from this central cavern to other parts of the cave complex. The floor is littered with broken spears, broken shields, and drops of bat guano. You also notice there are 5 goblins on ledges who when see you shout "Bree-yark" and fire arrows.

On Mandaway: Attack: 13 Damage: 6

Attack: 15 Damage: 4

Zook: Attack: 9 Damage: 7

Attack: 22 Damage: 3

(if Hawk entered non stealthily, otherwise still Zook) Attack: 7 Damage: 4

Mandaway watched one arrow land in the earth at his feet and the other thud into his armour...that would leave a bruise.....but he did not slow his pace or even acknowledge the archers.

He bristled and threw back his head, mumbled a quick prayer*, and  pointing to the arrow projecting from him, his voice booming in Giant, " WHAT SORT OF WELCOME IS THIS FOR THOSE WHO BRING YOU NEWS OF THOSE WHO OPPOSE YOU AND KILL YOUR SERVANTS! PERHAPS WE WERE MISINFORMED ABOUT YOUR KEEN MIND AND POWERFUL LEADERSHIP!"

*Guidance.

Intimidation. 16+2= 18.

The ogre looks slightly worried, but the goblins don't seem to understand. They look like they will continue attacking. 

Initiative:

Mandaway
Ogre
Hawk
Zook
Goblin
Bert

The ogre's first turn is spent looking at Mandaway, surprised to hear giant from such a small creature, and slightly worried by it. Mandaway, Hawk and Zook can go

Hawk, following his companions, wasn't quite sure what the plan was until he heard Mandaway's speech. As an arrow flies by his hips, he calls out in Common:

Eaassy now! We are friends.. we're here to bring news from your raiding parties!

Deception: 16

He prepares to dodge any incoming attacks if the plan doesn't work. (Dodge)

DM Screen, no peeking:

 Nothing will change until their go. The outcome will not be known until then

Mandaway levelled  Guni's Pacifier on his shoulder and dropped the bear head from his purloined 'cloak' over his forhead and fluffed himself up to his full height...it had occasionally worked on the stone giant children...and ogres weren't much smarter than a two year old.

He whispered another short prayer*.

" DO YE WANT NEWS OF YOUR SERVANTS IN THE VILLAGE OR NAY? IF YES, ORDER THESE LITTLE BUGGERS TO STOP FIRING!"

*Guidance.

Persuasion: 7 + 1= 8.

OOC: Short post, as I‘m traveling with only my phone. And I’ll be out of cell/WiFi range for the next 3-4 days... right when it gets good! DM, please roll for me.

Zook will deflect the first goblin arrow, (reduce damage 1d10+6) and then will focus his next few actions using the dodge action and deflect missiles reaction to avoid bring hurt even more, while practicing his swift monk moves and taunting the goblins. If there’s a target within range, he’ll attack with his boomerang.

Good luck guys!

2 goblins fire at Hawk: Attack: 8 Damage: 5

5 Damage: 5

The others shout at them in goblin and they shout back. 2 

Bert and Mandaway are up 

Mandaway shrugged, " Bugger this for a game of soldiers...."

He pulled up his crossbow and aimed at the goblin that had hit him before.

Crossbow: Attack: 21 Damage: 8

(Huh what? looks fine for me, or did you get a dice rolls not available message?)

(Huh what? looks fine for me, or did you get a dice rolls not available message?)

  (The latter. :) )

"So, guys, what are we doing? Are we staying here and fighting? What's the plan?" Bert says, with some nervous looks at the ogre.

If the goblin that hit Mandaway is still up, Bert aims for him with his longbow. If not, he'll go for another that fired at Hawk. He's still hidden, I assume, from his first stealth roll (if not, just take the first roll!):

Attack: 17 Damage: 6

For his bonus action, he'll use Cunning Action to duck over to the side of the cave into the shadows and hide (stealth: 20)

Two goblins die (one that fired before and one that didn't but almost hurt Mandaway). The ogre looks like it wasn't going to attack, but seeing 2 goblins gets shot was confused 1 and spends its turn doing looking back and forth waiting for an instruction from the goblins. Another ogre comes out of the stalactites in the middle of the room, looking in you can see a den of sorts and what looked like a rock was a sleeping ogre. She looks around grogilly getting ready to attack.

Zook dodges for now with a boomerang ready for next time. 

Hawk youre up 

Well, we tried, I guess these guys want to play hard to get! If we can’t tell then what happened to their friends in town, maybe we can show them!

Hawk says, winking at his companions whilst taking out his longbow. He will take position against a wall of the cave, trying to keep some distance between him and the ogres. He will use Slayer’s Prey on the Ogre that just showed up (leaving the confused one for now). To the attentive eye, one would see Hawk’s eyes suddenly shift to very focused and slim pupils, his ears seem to stand up in full awareness of his surroundings, his smile disappears into a stoic and expressionless face; he is the hunter again.

He takes aim, and fires an arrow at the Ogre, the one he is focusing all his senses on, the Ogre in the middle of the room.

Attack: 17 Damage: 11 (Slayer’s Prey extra damage: 5)

The 3 goblins remaining fire, one at Hawk, Zook and Mandaway

Hawk: Attack: 10 Damage: 3

Zook: 20 Damage: 5

Mandaway: 6 Damage: 3

Bert and Mandaway are up 

Bert attacks again, targeting the goblin that hit Mandy, and then hides again on the other side of the cave entrance. "Still not sure what we're doing, but I'm 100% on board and trust you all completely!"

Attack: 22 Damage: 9 Sneak attack: 9

(Also forgot to add sneak attack damage from last round, sorry! Sneak attack: 3)

Stealth: 26

Mandaway took a shot at another goblin, then called out Eldaths name to let healing flow through himself.

" Is there more to this cave? Are the villagers here?"

Attack: 9 Damage: 10

Bonus Action- Healing Word( 2nd level): 9

You do see some (6) tunnels leading off from this cavern. Bert kills another one (the sneak attack doesn't matter as both have been dead without it)

The ogres decide to join the fray. The confused male decides to hit the one who hurt it Attack: 7 Damage: 12

The other one throws a javelin at the small one (zook) Attack: 26 Damage: 14

Zook attempts to deflect missiles with his reaction, 11 but the force of the javelin means he doesn't fully stop it, just mostly divert it

Hawk and Zook (I will do Zooks action in a bit) 

We can't stop now!

Hawk shouts! He takes aim, and fires another arrow at the Ogre:

Attack: 19 Damage: 7 (Slayer’s Prey extra damage: 2)

(I was attacking the one that wasn't confused, but Hawk will just focus on the same one again)

Zook will throw a boomerang at the ogre attacking Hawk. Attack: 18 Damage: 5

The goblins 0 attempt to flee by jumping of the ledge and running towards the cave mouth. They take 4 Damage each.

Bert and Mandaway are up
