!!Lost Mine of Phandelver Campaign Thread!!

Umbriel, seeing Baeshra run over to G8, launches an Eldritch Blast at the goblin, which lands just as Baeshra's club lands.  The Goblin is thoroughly dead.

Rosie launches off a shot at G9, muttering to her crossbow under her breath, "Come on, work for me this time!"

Attack: 5 Damage: 4

The bolt streaks from Rosie's crossbow at an incredible speed and smashes into the stalagmite next to the goblins head, sending shards of rock flying but doing no damage to the lucky goblin!

Omen 

Omen moves into the cave with the rest of the party. 

If he can he will launch a firebolt at G9:

Hit: 24

Damage: 6

Omen's [Tooltip Not Found] catches the goblin by surprise and finishes him off!  The goblin slumps to the ground by the stalagmite, still smoking.

Alright, we are out of initiative, but could go back in shortly, so we'll keep the same order.  What's everyone doing? Taking a breather?  Charging south? Charging West?

Umbriel, breathing heavily and nursing injuries both from his fall and from the goblin's scimitar, rests briefly against the cavern wall, and looks to Baeshra for his experience on what to do next. 

Omen

Omen will ask: "Is everyone Ok?

He pauses for a moment, moving his torch into the room to get a better look. 

Baeshra will glance at the remaining cavern, "I assume the leader's in there? I'm not sure, I went the other way. Everyone get ready, I'll see about drawing out any attacks. Least I can do." 

Baeshra will run about halfway up the steps and then back to the wall on the other side of them (plan is to end up 4 squares right and 1 square down from his current position), dodgeing along the way.

The rest of the party comes into the chamber and takes a quick breather, checking on each other.

OOC: Those that haven't checked in yet, can cast a spell or two here if they want to heal a little before Baeshra tries to get a look into the cavern.

Baeshra takes a quick look in the cavern to the south as he runs up the stairs and then back down and to the side.  He sees sacks and crates piled on the far wall of the cave, and the coals of a large fire burning in the center of the cavern.

Goblin stealth: 18.

 Baeshra does not see any hidden goblins, but an arrow flies at him as he runs by: 9.  The patient goblin was biding his time, and when he saw the flashing lizardman, he fired true, doing 4 damage.  Baeshra makes it past the entranceway and ends up shielded from further attacks.  No!  I take that back again, only running halfway up the stairs would still give him half cover, so the arrow misses!  No damage to Baeshra.  But he does get a good look inside.

Whistler takes another long swig of his trusty firewater. His belly on fire begins to stoke the flames in his heart.

If the goblin shows itself, Whistler will Rage. 

Kumar moves forward towards Baeshra, standing over the dead goblin....

Cornan is going to take a fighting stance. If the goblin appears, he will attack.

The party waits for something to appear out of the cavern, 10 seconds go by...another 10 seconds...another 10 seconds...thing. Keep waiting?

Baeshra is going to gesture to the others to get ready, as soon as they are, he will run straight in dodgeing (disadvantage on attacks against him). If he can get close enough to a goblin, he will bite one (Hungry Jaws).

Attack: 15 Damage: 3

Attack: 24 Damage: 9

 Nice!  We'll use that attack.  But before we do, does the party form up behind Baeshra and follow him in?

Rosie runs up to the entrance and waits with crossbow ready to fire at the first goblin she sees.

Umbriel will follow Baeshra by slinking around the corner and up the stairs to a point where he can see inside, and launch an Eldritch Blast at the first enemy he can see. Attack: 6 Damage: 7

Alright, it looks like the party is forming up and following Baeshra, we'll go back into initiative.  Let me know if you don't like your starting position in the picture below.  Since the combatants in the cavern were aware of you, there are no surprise rounds.

Baeshra charges right into the cavern, past the fire and straight toward the back wall where he stumbles across a goblin he hadn't seen before.  His jaws clamp down, ending the goblins life.

Klarg's stealth: 18.  Everyone sees the hiding Bugbear and his wolves.

Umbriel you see two wolves and a bugbear, which did you want to attack?

Rosie, you see the two wolves and a bugbear, make your crossbow attack!

Klarg and Friends initiative: 13

Everyone else take your turns. Whistler, you are raging.

Round 1 Initiative:
Umbriel (Gorthmorg): 22
Whistler (KappyTheLimey): 20
Cronan (Al_the_bard): 16
Kume (Damian_May): 14
Rosie (KestrelRae): 13
Baeshra (Ismenow): 13
Omen (leapingmountain): 12
Klarg & Friends: 10

After Baeshra rushes in, the first thing Umbriel would likely see is the wolf (Ripper), so he'll aim at that.

Rosie fires off her shot at the bugbear. Attack: 14 Damage: 3
