Vanzaren smiles as the arrows come shooting at him. He draws a shielf shape in midair with his off hand and says arcane words of shielding. Right before the arrows connect an arcane Shield appears and begins to move around him.
Reaction: cast Shield Vanzaren's AC is now 20 till the start of his next turn. Both arrows missed
A vine of nature’s pure energy lashes out at Booom, encircling his throat. A second later, a sharp jerk pulls the goblin into Vanzaren snapping his neck. The goblin falls dead at Marcon’s feet...
Marcon barks something back in goblin while glaring daggers at Yeemik.
"Oi! The only thing you'll be eat'en is a knuckle sandwhich, ya punk!"
Then he turns upon the closest goblin again and adds a few more words; these seeming darker in tone than last.
"Allow me to show ya."
Soon after, he drops the torch in hand only to throw his full body into trying to knock Crabbit into the air with a rising uppercut. If it connects, before the goblin even properly has his footing again, the young warrior snatches him out the air by a leg. While the goblin is possibly still struggling to break the grip, a gutturally growling Marcon began marching his way up the stairway.
Action: (Reckless)Unarmed Strike - Attack: 25 Damage: 6 of non-magical slashing on Freepy.
Teeth fly from Grabbit’s face as Marcon’s hay-maker connects with full force. Barely conscious, the goblin feels someone tugging at his ankle and he instinctively tries to wriggle free:
Dexterity (Acrobatics) 15 vs. DC 6 (Marcon’s grapple attempt)
Disregarding the chaos erupting around him and eager to start some of his own, Rigel races past Marcon. The sound of shattering teeth spurring him on. He meets the goblin at the top of the stairs with a forward thrust of his dagger followed by a downward slash of his dagger
Spit ducks Rigel’s first dagger thrust then sidesteps quickly the down slash that followed. The goblin cocks a wicked smile and spits a vile mass of goblin mucous onto the toe of Rigel’s boot, clearly with the intent to taunt the ranger further.
Meanwhile, Grabbit scrambles to the back of the cave, grasping his shortbow off his shoulder in the process. His quivering fingers somehow manage to string an arrow which he hastily releases in Marcon’s general direction:
Shortbow: 15 vs. AC 18 (Marcon), dealing 8 piercing damage on a hit.

Ronk shoulders his way past Marcon and Vanzaren with a muttered "Sorry. Excuse me..." And closes in on Grabbit. Once again, his sword flicks out at the goblin, this time followed by a large bugbear fist crashing down on the creature's head.
Shortsword Attack on GRABBIT - 17 Damage on hit - 4
Bonus Action Unarmed Strike on GRABBIT - 8 Damage on Hit = 6
Seeing the tide of battle was beginning to turn against him, Yeemik releases his grip on the disheveled human letting him fall from the ledge to the floor 10 feet below. A gasp escapes the man’s lips as he feels himself drop but falls silent after he impacts the hard stone floor of the cave. The angry goblin leaps from the ledge in the opposite direction and attempts to flee.
(OOC: the human sustains 1 bludgeoning damage from the fall and is now unconscious. He will make death saves just like PCs on initiative count 10 until he either dies or is stabilized.)
YEEMIK: Dexterity (Acrobatics) check - 20 vs. DC 11.
If check fails, Yeemik takes 6 bludgeoning damage and lands prone in the square east of Marcon.
If check succeeds, Yeemik takes disengage as a bonus action and spends the rest of his movement fleeing up the tunnel past Ronk and Garet.

Vanzaren watches the man start to fall off the cliff and pulls a feather from the pouch at his belt. He throws it up in the air and utters more arcane words. As the feather starts to slowly fall the man's desent slows and as he hits the ground he lands on his feet instead.
Vanzaren tips a non exsistant hat at the man and takes off after the goblin who's fleeing. Catching up with him, Vanzaren takes a swipe at him with his dagger, aiming to knock him out and not kill him. "Just where do you think you're going?" He asks with a grin.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The man’s expression shifts from terrified surprise to weary relief as he coasts slowly to the floor. With no strength left to keep himself upright, he slumps down to his knees as the magic of Vanzaren’s spell dissipates.
Seeing that his leader has fled, Spit quickly loses his nerve to continue the fight in earnest. He jumps out of Rigel’s reach and retreats eastward on the upper tier taking cover behind a stalagmite. Realizing his situation is becoming desperate, he looses an arrow at the ranger:
Shortbow: 23 vs. AC 13 (Rigel), dealing 8 piercing damage on a hit.
Likewise, TeeHee retreats further back out of sight of those down below and sends a second arrow zooming in Rigel’s direction:
Shortbow: 21 vs. AC 13 (Rigel), dealing 5 piercing damage on a hit.
(OOC: the human will take the dodge action on each turn for the remainder of the encounter.)

Marcon expression had gone from wide-eyed surprise to relieved for the man. "Good on you, Mr. Elf, sir!"His grin at Vaz soon turns into a scowl as he focuses on the fast slipping away form of Yemmik. Thoughtlessly, he snatches up one of the fallen goblin bodies nearby, and while swinging it around in the air above himself, he starts howling and barking things in goblin while rushing after the chieftan with near murderous intent!
For those that understand goblin:
"Get back here you slime ball! Yer gonna pay fer what'cha tried back there, ya punk!"
"One side, Mr. Elf!"He calls out just as he brought the dead down upon the living. If Yeemik killed by the strike, a still deeply agitated Marcon lets go of his makeshift club to grab him by the throat.
Action: (Reckless)BAMFWAMF Manuever! - Attack: 25 Damage: 8 of non-magical bludgeoning on Yeemik. (If not able to get in melee, take the 1st roll in the sequence)
Spit and TeeHee exchange awkward glances looking for cues from one another on whether to make their stand against the towering firbolg, who is now also invisible. They both shudder at the horrible sound coming from further up the tunnel of Yeemik being beaten to death with one of his own dead cousins...
Spit: 0 vs. DC 1 (Garet Intimidation roll)
TeeHee: 11 vs. DC 1 (Duplicate of above roll)
The two goblins apparently misread one another's visual cues - Spit throws down his bow and falls to his knees to beg the invisible firbolg for his life while TeeHee drops his bow..****y to pull forth his shield and scimitar.

Rigel regains his footing at the top or the stairs only to feel the sting of goblin arrows. Gritting his teeth through the pain he follows the two goblins towards the back wall. Turning his attention from spit to Tee Hee he engages the goblin with what is becoming his standard dagger slash with axe follow up.
Dagger Attack: 23 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll. Axe Attack: 18 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.
Ronk pats the prisoner on the shoulder and gives him the best nod of encouragement that a strange bugbear can. He bounds up the stairs, sees one goblin begging at... Air, and another still looking ready to fight Rigel. He charges in to back-up Rigel, stabs out with his sword, then follows up with a punch.
The human recoils in fear at the sight of Ronk reaching out for him. Seconds later, Spit recoils in fear as he witnesses TeeHee's head topple onto the floor and a long, hairy bugbear arm bursts through the headless torso and out the other side.
Rigel lets out what sounds like a sigh mixed with a groan as he watches Ronk finish off his target. He then moves off to slump down against the southern wall and begins to tend to his arrow wounds. He grunts in pain as he removes the arrow imbedded in his thigh. As he does, his gaze falls upon the cowering Spit.
"So Garret, it appears we have another vermin for your catch and release policy. You should go collect your other wretch and get them set upon the road away from here,"
Rigel growls between teeth clenched in pain. Waving the newly dislodged arrow to accentuate his point he continues with a smirk and a chuckle,
"Heh, Unless of course you intend to turn them over to the town guard in Phandelin to be tried for their crimes of piracy. I'm sure the towns folk would love to extract a little "justice" of their own."
Vanzaren smiles as the arrows come shooting at him. He draws a shielf shape in midair with his off hand and says arcane words of shielding. Right before the arrows connect an arcane Shield appears and begins to move around him.

The goblin gives Ronk a puzzled look and says something as he sees the bugbear moving through the crowd towards him:
”Klarg? Where you get those clothes?”
He narrowly avoids Ronk’s blade but absorbs the full weight of his massive fist and collapses to the ground in a bloody heap.
