Aspiring Heroes of Faerûn

(Oh hey, the site style sheets just collapsed as I was about to post!  This will make reading my character sheet interesting... XD )

Seeing her target felled by her companions, Chrys smiles grimly and wheels around to face the next hobgoblin.  "Told ya it'd end badly," she tells him, side-stepping out of the doorway as she lifts Due Process up for another judgement.

Attack: 26
Damage: 11 blunt
"Gob with a bow inside," she yells to the others as she attacks.

(Action: attack Hobgob.  Movement: still on top of the Hobgoblin, but inside the room and out of the doorway so others can move in if they like.  Bonus "action": shouting at the others about the goblin inside)

Vesper will send a fire bolt towards the hobgoblin

Attack: 11 Damage: 5

Chrys turns around to face the other hobgoblin. She bashes relentlessly with her hammer, but the highly trained creature blocks each blow with his metal shield. The heavy, clanging thuds of metal on metal reverberates throughout the room and hallway as the two combatants go at it with intense fury and seemingly matched skill.

Meanwhile, Vesper waits for just the right moment and sends another fire bolt towards the hobgoblin. Unfortunately, just as last time, it's a very difficult shot, with the target in half cover and being so close to her companion, and the arcane bolt whizzes past both creatures and slams into the far wall. 

As Chrys shouts to the rest of the group and shifts slightly to the right in order to get out of the doorway, the hobgoblin takes advantage of the opening himself. Giving the dwarf one final shove with his shield, he quickly maneuvers to her side and runs out into the hallway, using his Dash action to take double his movement down the east passage. 

This action does leave him open to an AOO by Chrys, so she can take that now. Then it will be Krackle's turn.

Chrys's AOO: 23
Damage: 7

As the hobgoblin turns to flee, Chrys swings hard and lands a solid hammer blow across the creature's back just before he makes it out the door. It's hard enough to knock the wind out of him, and the creature stumbles and lets out a loud gasping grunt, but remains on his feet as he runs away. At this point, he is now 40 feet down the east hallway, and out of sightline from everyone in the group. 

Meanwhile, the goblin is still in the room, and he gives Chrys a look of fear as he watches the larger goblinoid suddenly leave him all alone...

Krackle, you're up!

ooc: none of the enemies are within 5 ft of a friend are they?

No, the goblin is about 20 feet away from Chrys, and the hobgoblin is about 40 feet down the east hallway. 

Krackle would move forward towards Chrys and sling a rock towards the goblin.

Attack: 20 Damage: 4

Rushing forward, Krackle passes through the doorway to join Chrys in the room. Easily spotting the goblin, he lets loose his sling stone and watches it strike the creature in the center go the chest. The goblin lets out a whimper as he sees that the tide has now turned completely against him. 

He throws down his bow and begins screaming and groveling for his life. "No kill!!! Peeeeeze no kill Meemot!"

Kess and Lumen are up next.

Kess rushes towards the door and has an arrow ready to fire at Meemot, but doesn't shoot it yet so that it can at least plead its case for why it should live.

Lumen, amazed this keeps happening, comes to the door and looks around for anything/anyone hidden. (Perception: 18) Seeing the goblin's covered by his more powerful friends, he turns down the hallway and looks for any traps hidden or being avoided by the hobgoblin. (Perception: 5) He readies vicious mockery for anyone that seems to come near down the hallway.

While he's waiting, he barks out in a terrifying voice, "Meemot! You're going to tell us everything that's waiting for us down there -- traps, goblins, hobgoblins, people in masks. Everything. And/or you'll go the way of Noz and Pox." (Intimidation: 10)

Chrys strides up to Meemot and kicks his weapon away with a noisy clatter, hammer slung over one shoulder and a fierce expression on her face.  „This one was willin‘ ta kill us right until his big friends left ‚im alone.  Ya better have somethin useful ta say besides yer prayers,“ she adds, lifting her hammer in preparation for a swing.

With all of you now in the room with the goblin, (can we assume that Vesper joins the others?) you see that 50' x 30' room is some kind of large sleeping chamber. Several iron-framed beds have been pushed aside against one of the walls, and some old tapestries lie in a heap in one of the corners. A fire blazes in a large hearth that's set into the north wall. 

The body of the dead hobgoblin lies just inside the room by the door, and the lone goblin stands in the middle of the chamber, pleading for his life. Upon a quick initial scan, Lumen doesn't see any other creatures or anything of much interest that stands out. (How long/detailed is his search of the room?)

As Chrys and Lumen bark threatening orders to Meemot, he answers in desperate, terrified squeals. "Ahhhhhgg!!! No kill Meemot... big oder goblins order kill men peeplz... but Meemot no try kill, shoot, onee peetend at dwarf shield. Wahhh WAhhh Wahhh!"

"Big boss wears mask last room down hallway... no taps, only big boss and oder hobgoblin guard run der."

As Lumen heads back into the hallway, he sees that it runs straight and appears to continue past the limit of his darkvision, and as he searches the stonework in the first thirty feet behind the room, (how far down does he go?) he finds no sign of traps or any other hindrances. 

He will walk 15-20 feet down the hall, and then go back in the room with the others for a detailed look at the room, hidden things, and the body of the hobgoblin. He’s still acting menacing to the goblin, tired of the charade if the goblins trying to kill them and then being cowards.

In his search of the room, Lumen finds 15 sp and 7 gp tucked into inside a finely crafted leather purse on the dead hobgoblin, and 5 pp that were wrapped up in a rag and hidden under one of the beds.

Chrys remains poised with the hammer and looks down at Krackle.  "'ey, Krackle.  I'll let you decide what to do with Meemot.  Pretty sure he wasn't pretendin' when he shot at me, but travelin' with someone as nice as ya is makin' me think twice about brainin' this guy on the spot."

" OK, uhh yeah... I can help figure out if we kill him" The small kobold would reply nervously looking towards the goblin. "So.. um.. if we dont kill ya... will you be a nice goblin and say you are sorry to the people at the outpost?" The kobold would ask as he taps a small clawed finger to his snout. "do you pinky promise? My sister told me that you can't break a pinky promise." He would ask as he excitedly holds out his tiny claw.

Lumen is very excited to find the coins, starting to do the math to finish off his loan payment to Vesper...

Vesper is joining the others. She isn't particularly a believer that this goblin will adhere to the flimsy standard of pinky swearing.

The goblin shudders as he looks around in fear at all of you and answers Krackle. "Meemot nice goblin...yes... but doh know pinky promise. Nice goblin. Pomise. Nice goblin, not hurting peeplz. Cannot go outpost for sorry, doh... peeplz in billage kill Meemot. Afraids peeplz who kills goblins. You dwarves, orcs, elvses peeplz coming here killing goblins... kill Meemot friends... "
