Yes. Niche another roll for persuasion if you will. (Sorry been in meetings all day today, tomorrow I am supposed to be as well, working on it my peeps)
Put your spoiler hereMy computer has been out of commission for a bit. Had the holidays, my vow renewal, madness at work with my new position, and a 10 year anniversary. Have an update typed, just need a proof-read once I get home.
As Niche gives her speech, 2 hobgoblins and 1 goblin seem to move closer you you and begin to shift impatiently, slightly lowering their weapons. Klarg notices this and lets out a whistle. The goblin re-raises its weapon at you and step back in line. You also hear a growl inseminate from behind his chair as a wolf stalks out from behind it bearing it's fangs. Sildar seems to stir at the sound of the whistle, but he is currently bound (hands only). Niche ends the speech and the party makes a surprise attack (Entering combat)
(outcome, Ripper (the wolf) joins the fray during the speech. 2 hobgoblins join your side, they will move closer to you and turn to fight during the surprise round, not provoking any attacks.)
(To clarify, Sildar and the party will get to take advantage of the 'suprise round' but the hobgoblins will not)
(Clarification of Klarg and Ripper's locations, they are in the back of the hall oval room. There is a fire pit in the center lit. There is an unlit chimney on your left and crates on the right (mostly) with a few barrels scattered haphazardly though the room (currently being used for cover by enemies.)
Spoiler contains stats of all characters in the fight and stats being used, (M) for Melee (R) for Ranged to clear up any confusion on my acronyms.
Sildar breaks free of his bonds and stands, he grabs the dagger in his boot and moves to put his back to the wall, looking around the room for the first time fully. He is currently surrounded by his captors but within 20 feet of the party.) He is clearly injured but says to the party Gundren is taken from here. I know not where.
Niche you are up. (Feel free to go out of order as this is a bonus round, JC will go last as I will post his action before the actual first round begins.)
