Even with its -1 on wisdom throws it manages to shrug off the spell
Moria urges the magic toward the remaining goblin, trying to force it to stop its aggression. There is a dull haze that wraps around its head for a moment, but the manic savagery of the small creature is too much and it continues attacking.
Maryis next at the top of the round...
(( The following is based on the actions Mary asked me to post on her behalf, basically sneak up and backstab things! ))
Mary turns around as she sees the battle taking place behind her. With agile speed and grace she slides behind the remaining goblin, flanking it against Sora and drives her sword into its back.
Attack: 8 Damage: 11
She will also secretly pick pocket the goblins for extra loot if she's able: 15
The attack goes horribly wide, almost like a very poor feint meant to distract from her pick-pocketing attempts. Still She does manage to swipe 3 coppers from the goblin as she swings her short sword about.
Whatever else she's doing, Mary is providing plenty of openings for Sora to take advantage of, so while in that position she turns around and unloads her blades against the goblin that, moments prior, stabbed her REALLY hard in the back.
With relative ease, Sora turns onto the remaining goblin and skewers it, the body dropping dead to the floor before she can capitalize with her second blade.
And just like that all the goblins were vanquished.
No longer in initiative, .... until you find the boss ;D
((Late response, as I wake late in the day, and I have errands to run today, but I should post in my words her reactions, and additional actions))
When Sora yelled out, "Ambush!", Mary frantically looked around, and saw where they were hiding, however then black lightning rushed out from 9, Mary thought to herself, remember never to get on her bad side. After everyone had a go, Mary was ready to pounce, only she slipped as she pounced and completely flubbed what grace her attack should have had.
Once the battle was over, Mary looked at the poor little bugger, shrugged, and kicked the head of the little beast.
"Well that was annoying, she said out loud, nasty things hidden in their partners dead bodies. I normally actually enjoy the company of Goblins, but these guys were just creeps." she paused, "I bet we haven't seen their boss though, as non of them have enough coin to spend the night in a good brothel or get a a meal and an ale. My guess down one of these two other passages is a big guy with a horde of coin. My vote is we gut him take his loot."
"Now if you don't mind I'll scout a bit, while you guys heal up."
Stealth 21
She doesn't try and steal any more coin, as her pride was hurt a bit by her flub.
going down the middle passage to see what's there, looking for traps, ect. Perception 15
Sora doesn't resist when Witt touches her arm, and is very relieved when the wound on her back quickly closes up and heals over almost instantly. "Wow, that's perfect, thank you." She looked up the main passage where Mary headed off to. "I think I was the only one that got hit, and I'm feeling great now! So I'd say we're good to go."
Mary easily blends in with the shadows as she moves up the main passage of this mine. Soon she'll come up to a large wooden door that blocks off the entire cavern. Unlike the other barriers in the mine so far, this was a proper door. Though it's shoddy construction is typical of what the pirate has come to expect from goblin craftsmen.
Fortunately she doesn't find any sort of trap along the tunnel on the way there.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Mary looks at the door, 'if I was the boss of these Gobs, I'd totally behind such a door.' she turns back down the passage and lets the party know, in her way, she whispers it into Sora's ear.
deception to keep the whisper between her and Sora 18
Nemeia relaxes as the threat subsides. She lowers her crossbow and moves in line with the others to make sure everyone is okay. She constantly keeps looking about the room and tunnels to try and be ready for any further aggression that could pop out of anywhere. When they eventually come to the large door, Nemeia readies her crossbow again. "Who knows how many could be behind this door."
Once the goblins are dealt with, 9 drops on one knee and cracks her neck. After couple o resting moments she sees Witt helping Sora and looks over Nemeia and others, seeing that they are alright as well she exhales in relief. “These goblins were weak, yes. What they were not is stupid. They thought of preparing an ambush for us, they wanted to build barricades to hide behind. I propose we sleep before we go in that door. You can never be too careful”.
Nemeia turns toward 9 and asks, "Do you think it is safe to fall asleep this close to a band of goblins?" She opens her satchel and sees that about half of her gizmos had stopped functioning. She frowns a bit knowing that her magics would be stronger if they did manage to sleep. "I can set up an alarm again to notify us if anyone tries to sneak up on us."
If the group decides to take the time to sleep and rest, Nemeia would slowly set up her wire system with the little bell in as wide of an area as possible to give them the earliest signs of encroachment by enemies.
"I don't trust this place is safe to sleep in." Sora spoke up as she walked a bit into the main tunnel where Mary had scouted ahead. "Not until we take out who ever is leading these goblins anyway." She looked back at the others and added, "Even if we setup guards and alarms and whatever, we're just giving them a chance to attack us. Or worse yet, we'll be giving them a chance to setup even deadlier ambushes. I think we should keep going while we still can."
Nemeia nods in agreement. She never really enjoyed sleeping this close to deadly threats. She looks to the others to see how they want to handle the situation. She makes sure to be away from the door if they do plan to open it.
Looking almost excited "I think we should push on as well." Pulling out the stone Witt had cast light on, if it is still lit she attempts to get the directional beam of light again as everyone prepares to move down the main tunnel. Moira waits for the others to pass following toward the rear of the group.
I agree,says Witt, also thinking that sleeping in such a place might not be the best choice. If we have to face many more battles, then we should leave the mine and rest outside, away from imminent danger. But for the moment, let us move on. I... do you suppose... might it be possible to talk to any of the goblins we face? Perhaps we could attempt to capture one in our next encounter. I really do wish we could understand more about why they are here.
"We can try, but I'm not sure they'll give us the chance." Sora replied to Witt before moving up to the large doorway that Mary was looking at. She looked back towards the rest of the party, whispering back towards them, "I also think the boss will be behind this door. Even if he's not, I'm expecting a big fight on the other side. Are you all ready to charge in there?"
I am,says Witt loudly, and then turns bright red at how loud that was and how far the sound carried through the tunnels. Um, I mean, okay. After you, though.
9 shrugs, then nods standing close behind Sora. She closes her eyes for a moment, feeling everything around her, the vibrations, the sounds, flow of air. She could even feel pulsing electric energy inside her, the blessing of the Lady empowering her. She clutches the whip that she was struck by once tighter and adjusts her shield in th other hand. Just need to be careful, that’s all. Careful, but not useless,she thought out the strategy of what will happen in moments to come.

Sora is next
Sylnache Ashrain - 7th Sojourn
Whatever else she's doing, Mary is providing plenty of openings for Sora to take advantage of, so while in that position she turns around and unloads her blades against the goblin that, moments prior, stabbed her REALLY hard in the back.
Main Attack: 21 Damage: 10
Bonus Attack: 12 Damage: 6
With relative ease, Sora turns onto the remaining goblin and skewers it, the body dropping dead to the floor before she can capitalize with her second blade.

Sylnache Ashrain - 7th Sojourn
Is everyone okay? asksWitt breathlessly. Does anyone need help? He looks frantically around, his Light spell still illuminating the area.
As Sora looks hurt, Witt wanders over and places his hand on your arm, with permission. Um, excuse me, may I?

Mary in stealth follows closely behind Sora.
