(( I think we are all in the guard room ))

 Right. Thus the request to draw them down the hall. Towards Calcryx’s room. Seemed like a good idea to me.

Ithelion says, in scoffing tones, "Is that another cowardly hobgoblin, ordering goblins to die because he is too afraid to face us? We don't kill goblins that don't attack."

Then she turns to Shere with a smile, "I've laid some groundwork, try to goad him...or something"

Shere looks at the elf and whispers "Maybe you can take a look with your familiar to see where they are at. You already set up the caltrops"

I thought we were already in the guard room explain to me whats going on if you look I suggest something else besides a bird

"What is the Hobs name Stabby?" Shere whispers

OKay based on what you've said, here is a map.  I have taken lots of stuff off it just for easy visual (hopefully).  Krom is at the door keeping an eye.  As usual, if anyone is not where they want to be, just let me know. and it will be fixed before any combat happens.

Stabby and Sharpie look at each other and Sharpie says, "That's the other hobgoblin, Shamir, he's coming for us!  You can expect a few goblin warriors, probably some rats too," she says to you.  Looking at Stabby, she says, "Okay, okay.  We have to do this - it's only way.  Stay here and shoot at them if you can.  Okay?"  Stabby is afraid, clearly fearful of Shamir.  Sharpie jogs over, scimitar and dagger in hand.  "What you want me to do?  And where?  Shamir is big brute, a bit not right in head, I think.  Be careful.  He not going to take prisoners, and he not going to be nice. Good news is he left Durnn, not many left there..."

Ithelion nods at Sharpie, "Shoot anything that comes to the door." If anyone does not have a bow, she throws a few on the ground from her bag, along with arrows.

She hands her Potion of Healing to Krom, "Use it -- you don't look well, and we need to hold the door..."

Edit:

Ithelion smiles to see Daemyar taking position near the door, and turns to Elosa, "Help Daemyar by distracting anything in front of him, but do not leave this room."

(( Hopefully this gets Daemyar advantage and Sneak attack ))

As you spread the caltrops and fish around for anything of use, you can hear movement in the hallway outside, they are very close - close enough to hear the clicking sound of nails on stone - you look at each other - more rats!

@daemyar, @krom, and @garnet - you are all watching the slightly ajar door when you see a giant rat come into view, followed by another beside it (E7 and E8).  THe rat jumps into the area of the door and hisses as it lands on caltrops (dex check for caltrops DC15 - 20).      The rat snarls and moves to attack.....Roll initiative!

@ithelion - if you want to do what was mentioned in OOC I will allow that before initiative.  

Initiative:

Ithelion Initiative: 9

As she rummaged through the pack for the bow, she was reminded of the whistle that was found earlier, and shows it to Shere. "Krom says it's called 'Night Caller'"

 You can all roll arcana or history to see if you know anything about it.

Daemyar initiative 6 

“Come see the color of your blood, cowards!” 

Krom takes the haling potion Ithelion gave him, healing for 8.

Initiative: 10

Initiative: 25

 Initiative: 17

Arcana 15 

@Shere - other than it understanding by it's name, it is likely going to summon something, you don't recall anything specific in the heat of battle.

1. Shere G1, G3,

2.  Shamir, Stabby, Sharpie, Garnet

3. Krom, Ithelion, Daemyar, G2, G4, R1, R2, Meepo, Erky

Shere, you're up first!

Shere takes aim with his crossbow Attack: 10 Damage: 7

"Maybe its a call for rats? But I Don't know"

He puts away his crossbow thinking this is going into melee 

@Shere - the bard lets loose a wild shot that tries to snake its way through the crowd, towards the rat.  Shere tries to line it up but it goes wide and flies out the doorway - a miss!   

G1 - G1 moves to the West until it is lined up with Daemyar and will loose an arrow - blocked a bit by R2 - at the gooshied hobgoblin!  Attack: 9 Damage: 4

G3 - this goblin will move into range across from Garnet and fire at the Genasi, despite not having the clearest line of site because of R2:  Attack: 22 Damage: 3

Shamir - The hobgoblin takes his movement and readies his attack!

Stabby - He tries to fire through traffic at the rat! (R2)  Attack: 14 Damage: 7

Sharpie - She also tries to fire through allies, at R2: Attack: 14 Damage: 5

Garnet is up!

MAP

**R2 has been killed by an arrow!  Despite the rat getting some cover, Stabby is able to weave an arrow through!**
**The goblin's ranged attack on Garnet is a good one, but at the last second the jumping giant rat moves, making it difficult to aim steady and the arrow grazes the genasi's cheek - a miss!**

Garnet will try to move forward to attack the rat in the doorway with her sword. Using her protection reaction when possible. Attack: 10 Damage: 0

*edit* Since R2 is already dead Garnet. Will just get prepared for the next creature to come through the door by trying to move R2 out of the way.

Okay so Garnet is waiting for something to come.

Krom, Ithelion, Daemyar, G2, G4, R1, Erky can post!
