Hati attacks goblin 3 but misses, but manages to knock his sword out of his hand.

Goblin 3 is up

Goblin 3 thoroughly intimidated also surrenders and drops his weapons.

Finnian is up

(OOC: @ everyone, if everyone wants to speed this up, i'll say Finnian and Tandon can give me attack rolls if either or both hit goblin 4, Goblin 4 is dead and thats it. Or we can keep going. but combat is pretty much over at this point regardless of which of those options we do.)

Health Updates: The Party: Misty 10/10 HP, Hati 10/10 HP, Finnian 5/8 HP, Gerrack 10/10 HP, Gniff 5/9 HP, The Wolf 11/11 HP

Outside the battle: Tandon 9/11 HP, Edmond 11/11 HP, ,  Gimble 9/9 HP. 

Gimble looks at Edmond. “Ya can say that again. I wonder what these would fetch back in town. Lot of money to be made here.....whether sold individually or maybe rewarded by this Lionshield.”

Finnian slings a stone at Goblin 4!

Attack: 11 Damage: 3

Seeing the remaining goblins surrendering Gniff lowers his guard and moves quickly over to the bound man. "Shh, it's okay friend don't you worry none, we will have you free quick as a rabbit." He unties Sildar and helps the man sit, or stand depending on what he wants to do. "Your alright, looks like you have been through a lot. Just take a few moments to catch your breath." Gniff is smiling calmly as he keeps an eye on the rest of the group as well to gauge their reactions.

GERRACK is rounding up the surrendered goblins

Gerrack kicks the weapons away from the goblins who surrendered and herds them against the wall, guarding them with his staff to ensure they neither slink off nor try to attack.  He sees the wolf from the corner of his eye, and steps back, inclining his head at the creature.  Though it cannot understand him, he speaks in Aarakocra to it anyway:  "To you, who have suffered most greatly, the judgement is yours to make," he says to the wolf.

(animal handling to see how much the wolf might understand that, I suppose: 15)

"Seems like that' finished them."  Misty said as she comes into the chamber.  She moves up to the captive and cuts his bonds.  "Good day." She says in greeting.  "We are the fated Eight.  Who might you be?"

Rapier - Attack: 18 Damage: 11

Whip - Attack: 23 Damage: 4

Tandon does his best to chase down and slay the final goblin

Watching the others round up the surrendering goblins.  “The only good goblin is a dead goblin, we should make it quick.” He says bluntly

GERRACK is rounding up the surrendered goblins

(animal handling to see how much the wolf might understand that, I suppose: 15)

 the Wolf looks at gerrack, then attacks goblin 2 and kills him. goblin 3 freaks out and then tries to run and the wolf makes sure he doesn't escape. covered in blood the wolf does a series of barks woofs and other wolf sounds trying to talk to the party. the wolf turns his head to look at Gniff, who is over by sildar. the wolf continues making a series of noises directed at Gniff. (OOC: the wolf will wait for a response.)

(OOC: @ everyone, what do you do? And if anyone wants to loot let me know and i'll post whats on the goblins in the next post.)

"Well we are a company for hire."  Misty says with a shrug.  "Most recently we were hired to clear these caves of goblins that were causing troubles for merchants around these parts.  Before that we traveled here for a job to guard a wagon as it came this way."  She gives the man a nod.  "Need to check these guys for anything of value, then check back in with some others who were cataloging what we found so far." She moves back to check the goblins for anything of value, starting with the ones on the ledge.

Investigation:  12

"And I am a new friend of theirs," Gniff adds as he turns his head and looks on aghast as the wolf tears the surrendered goblins apart. He turns back to Sildar, "I am really glad you are ok. How is it that you came to be in this situation? Just bad luck?"

Though afraid what it will be this time he turns back to the wolf again and sees that it wants to talk. He sighs, as he thinks to himself that he no longer has anymore gifted spells, the ritual his only real recourse. He examines the wolf to see if he can deduce the reason or if he will have to cast Speak with Animals as a ritual.

Animal Handling: 19

(And just in case) Insight: 23

Tandon lets the others talk while he stands over the goblins, ensuring they don’t try to escape or attack.

Hati doesn't understand why they don't just kill the Goblins, but doesn't pay it much mind as he simply sits himself down near the group, but close to the wolves. He'll clean his blade until something happens or someone approaches him.
