Vesper draws out a dagger as they wrestle down the Goblin. "Don't scream. We're going to ask you a few questions about what's ahead in this cave and any people you might be with. It'll make things a lot easier on you if you cooperate with us. Understand?"

(This check is to shove the goblin down so it's prone while grappled:  Athletics - 18 )

OOC: I need a stealth check from Chrys as she approaches the sleeping goblin. And yes, give me two Athletics checks for grapple and shove, if you're successful. If Krackle wants to help with both checks, then I need the same rolls from him as well.

OOC: Can I ready an action so that Vesper tosses a Fire Bolt at the goblin if this check fails?

Yes, you can ready your Fire Bolt cantrip. 

Krackle would try to help the best he could... trying to sneak towards the goblin and hold on to one of its arms as tightly as possible.

athletics6

OOC: Not looking good, but I'll wait for Chrys' check before releasing Vesper's readied action. 

OOC: Chrys has said that she won’t be posting much for the next few days, so to keep this moving, someone else can roll a stealth check with disadvantage, and the grapple check for her. Vesper, you’re on quite often, so you can roll for her if you want. Her stealth is +2, athletics is +6.

OOC: Ok

Stealth: 9

Athletics: 15

And here's Vespers Fire Bolt since that Goblin is waking right up.

Chrys will at least put a hand over the goblins mouth.

As Chrys approaches the sleeping goblin, the sleeve of her chainmail brushes against the wall with a loud clank. At the same time, she accidentally kicks the stone floor with her right foot when she steps down off of the stairs. 

The sleeping goblin’s eyes open in a startled flash, and when the creature sees you, a terrified expression crosses its face. A second later, it’s hit in the chest with Vesper’s Fire Bolt. It lets loose a scream as it tries to pat furiously at the painful flames, just as Chrys crashes into the little green thing and wraps her arms around tightly around it, restraining it and covering the little goblin female’s mouth, as she now sees it to be.

The goblin squeaks in desperation with a muffled cry. “Mmmffff.... mmmmffff!!}

Vesper walks up to the goblin, dagger in hand. "Don't scream. We have some questions to ask you about what lies ahead down here and who else is here. It'll make things a lot easier if you cooperate with us. Understand?" 

OOC: Let me know if Vesper needs to make an intimidation check and let me know if she has advantage since the goblin is outnumbered, grappled, and partially singed.

Lumen's played this game before, and watched it being played many times. He sighs heavily as Vesper starts into an interrogation, and puts on his best 'bad cop' affect, his face turning terrifyingly malevolent in an instant. He grabs the goblin by her shoulders and snarls, "Why don't we just kill this one now? She won't be helpful anyway..." and he then turns around and grabs his longsword out and hefts it in a menacing way. When he has his back to the goblin, he gives Vesper a very-unthreatening, ashamed, apologetic look. 

(Feel free to roll with Lumen's intimidation modifier, +6, and advantage if our DM allows it with Lumen butting in as Bad Cop.)

The injured goblin looks at Lumen with an expression of horror when he mentions the idea of just killing her. She doesn’t fight Chrys’s grasp, but shakes her head back and forth furiously in protest. She then looks back at Vesper with a visual plea of mercy and nods.

Vesper instructs Chrys to move her hand from the goblins mouth, but to keep her held. The dwarf does precisely that. "First question. How many other goblins are here with you?"

Kess would just stand there, looming over Vesper's shoulder and glowing menacingly at the goblin, scimitars unsheathed.

"Don't even think about lying to us. You're breathing so loudly through that nose of yours that I could follow you blindfolded."

((Just getting myself back into the story here. Sorry! Haven't had the energy the last few days to post.))

“Many,” she says, trying to count on her stubby little green fingers that are filthy with dirt and grime. As she puts up her hands, you get the idea that she’s trying to show you that there are more than ten.

"Who's in charge? Is it a goblin like you?"

“Big boss. Big other goblin. Live in room far that way,” she says, pointing in the direction of the corridor that exits in between the two statues on the other side of the room.

"And the other goblins, are they in the room over there, as well."

"Big other goblin...?" Kess narrowed her eyes, looming down to meet the little grubby goblinoid eye-to-eye. "How big...? Big like us? Or a bugbear?"
