'Not quite what I had hoped for, but--!' Nadaar thought before aloud saying, "You have my thanks, Lady Nadia. Now, Let's make this quick then, shan't we Zack?"A smirk plays on his draconic snout towards the end over the last bit of 'encouragement'. And as those last words leave his mouth, he draws from his non-bleeding finger tips, a fine pinch of sand. Although he loathe to waste such fine grains, the Black Dragonborn cleared his throat, and spoke again in Draconic:
"Countless Sand for Countless Souls Doomed to drift upon Fate's Cruel Winds Slumber be thy only Escape"
At the last word, he blows the sand, which magically grows into a small blanketing screen over many a goblin, rats, and one unfortunate human, and compels the weak to slumber. After all is said and done, Nadaar tries to position himself to block off the southern most passages with his body.
Bonus Action: Bardic Inspiration on Zack.
Action: Nadaar Casts Mr. Sandman at 2nd level, creating a pool of 27 worth of HP affecting magic, to catch all the rats, goblins, and potentially Zack as well.

Hark Dex 7 vs Zack Athletics 21
G2 attack against Zack Attack: 8 Damage: 8
G1 attack against Nadia: Attack: 13 Damage: 3
Strawberries are packed with fiber: 14
The sand cascades into the air, imbued with Nadaars magic, and lands gently on his foes. Three of the rats start to waver before falling over into a sound slumber. Another rat seems like it was about to fall under the spell but manages to stay up and resist the effect as do the remaining rats, goblins and Zack. As the rats fall Hark struggles to break free from Zacks grip. After a brief struggle Hark manages slip out of Zacks grip and crawl out from under him, moving into the space between the three of you. He stands up and looks about him, realizing that he just put himself between his enemies he shouts "Protect your king!" Before fleeing past Nadia and Nadaar (Nimble escape, disengage as bonus action) he is able to get away from Zack and behind N&N but not out of melee range from the latter. As Hark shouts out for protection the two Goblin Guards take action. The Goblin on the right of Zack shouts as him "How dare you touch Boss Hark! Human die for your in..in...insurance!" before taking a swing at the fighter with her scimitar. Although the attack hits, the damage is negligible and only causes a minor wound to Zacks back. The other Goblin to Zacks left charges forward to attack Nadia. Her scimitar slashes at Nadia causing a gash across her leg.
(Rats 1, 2 and 4 are unconscious from Sleep. #3 is dead from an arrow to the face.)
Map update with positions as they will be for Zacks turn. Who is who should be simple enough. Hark trying to flee but didnt have enough movement to get away. Dead/unconscious rats not included.

Seeing Nadaar's spell effect most of the rats with little to no issue was good enough for the elf to shift her attention to the now running goblin. "As if I'm gonna let you just get away like that, idiota." Nadia scoffs, moving away just a bit (to a point where her shot isn't at disadvantage) and fires an arrow at Hark's direction.
Attack: 20 Damage: 8

(just needed to make sure I was up)
Zack thought for sure he had Hark in an impossible position, but perhaps the goblin had sweated enough to slicken out of his grasp. Watching as Hark slipped away and past them all. Just as he was about to get up, he felt the slam of a blade against his back, that wasn't able to pierce his armor but still hit with enough force to hurt. Pausng his standing temporarily before he got back to his feet. Ignoring the one whom had struck him, reaching behind him and grabbing the net he had there, he takes a step forward, just beyond the reach of the guard who had hit him, before letting it fly, lobbing it over his friends in an arch, in hopes of it landing on it's intended target. (Net-Ball, GO: 19)
Seeing his net hit the target, he sighed in relief, saying to Nadaar Quickly! Block off the exit! I'll handle these guys back here, just make it so he can't get past you!
Zack stood to full height, easily towering over the guards and rats (most likely) as he took up a defensive stance with his back to the N's. Drawing his sword and holding it to the side, due to how low the wall was. Taking a breath as he steeled himself.
Summary: Zack stood up, tossed a net, assumed it hit with a 20 roll, meaning Hark is Restrained until he passes a DC 10 STR check or deals 5+ 'slashing' damage to it. Risked an AO from the guard, and then planted himself defensively with his back to Nadia.

Goblin AO: Attack: 24 Damage: 5

(Oh and no bane role for that first attack since it's a failure regardless. Dont believe rats are under affect of bane)
As Zack moves into position the guard who already struck him goes for another strike. Luckily for Zack, this Goblin doesn't seem like much of a fighter, and is fairly clumsy even for an untrained Goblin. The attack only succeeds at slicing air, and rather poorly at that. One Zack had moved into position he lobs his net over his allies, catching the fleeing Harl and causing him to trip and fall as he flails about in the net like a rat caught in a trap. Speaking of rats, Zack feels three of the things near him trying to bite at his feet. At first it's simply annoying, and their attacks are easily shaken off. However one of the little bastards manages to sink his teeth in deep, tearing out a small bit of flesh as it tears itself free. The rat eagerly devours the small bit of meat and appears hungry and ready for more. It would seem whoever the poor sod they just finished eating was wasnt a big enough meal.

(Since this is a redo...) Seeing Hark successfully caught and also not entirely sure if the two wanted him alive or not, Nadia shifts her attention to getting rid of the small fry starting with the rats nipping at Zack’s feet.
(Whichever rat you want) Attack: 15 Damage: 12
Bonus action: Hunters Mark on Hark in case he manages to get out and run away
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Way ahead of you, Soldier boy." Nadaar half grumbles as he once more worked his way around to try and cut off the retreat, accepting any blade or bite might befall him in the process. "I would say you should have quit while you were ahead. But having been in your position before, I understand, and you have my sincerest apologies." He says as he leered down at Hark, and casually drew a dagger. "But no walking back this time."And so, the Dragonborn began trying to plunge his blade into the spine of the goblin 'king' with brutal efficiency.
As that happens, the mysterious floating Torch began to follow Nadaar until hovered just to the left of him.
Action: Dagger - To Hit: 13 For: 5 non-magical piercing damage to Hark.
As Nadaar moves to cut off Harks potential retreat, one of the Goblins takes a wild swing at him as he passes by striking him but only with the flat of the blade for minor damage. Nadaar looms over Hark, who in turn looks up at Nadaar with a look of terror painted across his face. As the blade comes down Hark winches in anticipation. His flinching causes the blade to miss any vital organs, but still strikes deep into Harks shoulder. Hark screams in pain as blood rushes out of the wound. Hark grabs the wound and looks around for a way out. Hark, likely through some burst of adrenaline, manages to push through the magical influences trying to weaken him and pulls the net off him throwing it aside. He gets up and flees through the eastern tunnel, back towards the Large chamber where the Ogres were.
Meanwhile, the two body guards try to cover Harks retreat. The G2 runs towards Nadaar, keeping to the cave wall before standing between N&N and attack Nadaar for striking Hark. This time the attack is well executed, giving Nadaar a nasty cut on the leg. (editing) G1 however keeps up the assault against Nadia. She swings towards the elf but Nadia is able to easily dodge the blow.
(Zack is up. Will be working on a map update when I get a chance. No AO to Hark Bonus to disengage. No Banes for Goblin since the hit wouldn't miss and other is a miss)
Gonna remove blur for what you've already seen. Doesn't make sense to erase what you know is there. On a side I believe I've got Zacks position correct since he only provoked an AO from a Goblin and no rats let me know if it's wrong.
Zack looked baffled at how the goblin had somehow slipped through Nadaar's legs in such a tiny exit but didn't have time to focus on it, hoping that Nadaar would find some way to stop Hark before it was too late. Zack, seeing that Nadia was being harassed shifted a bit closer to one of the rats to give him room to bring his sword to bear without also hitting her , takes a wide-slice at G2's body. (Attack: 19 Damage: 14)
Zack looked around at the situation, seeing that the chance of enemies coming in from both sides to be a possibility, decided, much to his own chagrin, that the ones here needed to be stamped out first, lest they find themselves surrounded on two sides. A slim trickle of blood escaping where the rat had bit him as he finally felt the first bit of damage. He wouldn't bark an order at Nadia, going after Hark put her at risk just as much as staying where she was and hitting something here.
Zack manages to get enough room to swing is blade unhindered. The large blade comes in at a wide angle and cleaves into the Goblin. Death is instant, and the pitiful creature doesnt even have time to cry out in pain before slipping into the void and collapsing to the ground in a gory mess. As Zack looks around to asses the situation, the rats at his heels make another attempt to bite at his feet. This time, both of the manage to get their teeth deep into Zacks flesh, causing painful gashes in Zacks legs as they try to tear of chunks of flesh.
Nadia is up, Zack is currently having his feet nawed on by rats, the Goblin between Zack and Nadia is now dead. The Goblin between Nadia and Nadaar is alive, currently focused on Nadaar. Hark has run down the tunnel, likely to seek aid from Ogres and the larger Goblin force.

(I hope I’m able to do this, please let me know and I’ll edit it accordingly!)
Nadia would be damned if she let Hark get reinforcements. She shoots Zack a thank you for taking care of that goblin for her, promising she’ll return the favor soon after before quickly darling after him, taking any attacks on her like a champ (I believe Gobby2 has an AoO against me). She pushes past Nadaar; “Sorry, big guy!”, and stops in the entrance to shoot off an arrow at the fleeing goblin!
Attack: 14 Damage: 8 Hunters Mark: 1
As to not completely block Nadaar, she moves herself south, to the entrance of the other little pocket in the wall.
(I hope that makes sense >.< If not I can post where I want her to be after I get out of work)
#2 Conc. Save for Bane: 19. (Bane Maintained. Bane only affected attacks and saving throws, so no worries using it on skill checks.)
Nadaar either growled or hissed at every blade that found purchase, yet his gaze kept their single-minded focus on the retreating form of Hark. "It's fine, Lady Nadia. That little rat won't get away so easily." He said through gritted teeth and a rumbling in the back of his throat. Now right and properhe pissed off, the Dragonborn began to snake his way forward through the tunnel after the would be King. And as soon as he's in sight, he tries to grab him by the back of he throat, lift him up bodily, and begin pulling him into the side side tunnel. "Your trials are at hand, my Liege. Now face me properly as a 'King', or die a coward."
Action: Nadaar attempts to grapple Hark - Athletics: 19 vs Hark's Strength or Dexterity. (If Hark's results would be hire, by 3 or less using cutting words to try and drop it) (Also, burning an Inspiration on the roll)
G2 attack: Attack: 16 Damage: 63 and Bane for earlier AO because I'm bad at math and that could miss: 1
As Nadia runs to try to take a shot at Hark she feels the sting of cold steel across her back. Blood pours out from the wound, but she pushes forward to try and stop Hark from getting to help. Nadia fires an arrow at the fleeing Goblin leader, but unfortunately it in her haste the arrow is off target and breaks against the cave wall. Nadia quickly moves out of the way for Nadaar as he quickly approaches Hark before he can turn the corner. Grabbing him by the collar of his chain shirt, he quickly drags him into the side chamber, Hark struggling uselessly the entire time. Nadaar, as you are grabbing Hark you see two more Goblins have just entered the tunnel from the main cavern. An Ogre slams up against the tunnel entrance, to big to fit he only manages to block other Goblins from rushing in yelling "Boss! Boss where are you?". although you only catch a brief glimpse at the other two Goblins, it doesnt appear they saw you. As you enter the side Chamber, with Nadia standing at the entrance, you find another Goblin standing off to the side, poorly hiding behind some rocks. You make eye contact for a moment and he meekly waves at you. "What wait for? Kill Hark already!" he calls out in Goblin. While he is armed, he doesn't make any attempt to get involved in the fight. Hark meanwhile, shouts a curse at the neutral Goblin "Stupid Snigbat! Help your king!" to which his only reply is Snigbat sticking out his tongue and making rude gestures towards him. Frustrated, Hark uses a free Hand to grab him scimitar and attack Nadaar. Luckily for Nadaar, Hark only manages to weakly strike at his armor.
Meanwhile in the other room, the last remaining body guard looks back and Zack and then down the tunnel. She quickly decides she wants to protect Hark and rushes down the tunnel, stopping only when confronted by Nadia. As the Goblin flails her sword at Nadias direction she seems to wince uncomfortably, likely under the effect of Nadaars spell. While brief, it was enough to cause her sword to go off target, cutting nothing but the air in front of Nadia.
Zack, it would seem you are left alone with the two remaining rats, as the others have gone down the eastern tunnel. As you decide what to do you hear a muffled yell coming somewhere behind you. It sounds like it's off to the North East corner, behind the large piled of rocks. Whatever/whoever it is seems to be making a deliberate attempt to be heard.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ok let me know if theres anything wrong with the positions so I can make proper edits. Not the best I know. Goblins 3&4 will enter initative order next round at the 8 and 15 positions respectively. Oh and not sure why I didnt include him but Neutral Goblin in next to Hark Ducking behind rocks. Should be space 11E
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Zack feels something inside him attempt to flare up, only to fizzle out, a power nearly surging, only to vanish. He chalked it up to his adrenaline flowing at the nasty bites, allowing him to refresh himself (7)
But only feels slightly better, the confusion of that earlier surge that vanished likely the cause.
Regardless, while Zack hears the thing trying to get his attention, he cant afford to give the rats more chances to peck at him. He takes just a moment to size the distance of the rat farthest from him before he swings his blade in an attempt to finish atleast one off...

Regardless, while Zack hears the thing trying to get his attention, he cant afford to give the rats more chances to peck at him. He takes just a moment to size the distance of the rat farthest from him before he swings his blade in an attempt to finish atleast one off...
