Wash calls in "We spoke to Sleese and he is very worried about you. He said you were ill and I'm here to help. Please let us in."

[Persuasion if needed/allowed: 8 ]

If that doesn't work Wash suggests to Alton "She doesn't seem to be responding to me, do you want to try?" and follows that up with a question to both Alton and Balassar "Did she sound odd to either of you?"

Nope.  Go away.  Too sick to talk to strangers.  There's a coughing sound.  Go away.  Go.

Insight: 13 to see if Alton can tell if there is anything odd. 

(OOC:  Please edit the above post, just adding a space after the last word, so that DnDBeyond will process the die roll correctly.)

Alton, the voice sounds a little... odd. Not quite what you'd expect.  Hard to say what exactly is off about it though.  Maybe it's just the sickness?

Balassar looks at them "I got a way in, but no one is going to like." he says as he raises his foot to kick the door "You're friend is worried for your health miss and we said we would check on you."

OOC:

Strength check: 24

Crack!!!

The door slams inwards and breaks in two pieces as it does so; it manages to stay on its hinges, but there's a loud thump as it bangs against the interior wall. 

You look into the main room of the small house.  Light is low inside, given that the windows let little light in, but just enough for you to see a simple home, with a table and stools, a few other plain items of furniture... and two rather surprised-looking kobolds standing in the centre of the room.

Everyone roll initiative please.

Wash's initiative is 9 .

[DM Question: can wash grab the note on the front door as a free action on his turn, or would it be an action?]

(OOC:  It's a piece of wood with words painted on it rather than just a note.  It's nailed to the door, so it would be an action to get it loose.)

Alton's Initiative: 7 

Balassar’s Initiative: 21

6 5 16

Round One
Balassar
Alton and Wash
Kobolds 1 and 2

Balassar is up.

Balassar just smiles looking at the Kobolds as he draws his shield and scimitar “This is where you run vermin.” He just charges at the first one taking a slash.

OOC:

Attack: 23
slashing Damage: 6

Balassar, you slash down across the kobold, cutting a deep slice into its torso; it screams and coughs blood - you think you almost killed it.

A door at the far side of the room opens, and a kobold looks out, takes aim with a crossbow, and fires at Balassar:

Attack: 25 Damage: 10

It's... a really good shot.  Balassar, the bolt is protruding from your chest, having cut right through you armour, and it missed your heart by an inch.  Balassar is also now only barely on his feet.

Wash and Alton are up.

[I'd forgotten to reset abilities from long rest for Wash after the previous day's combat, have done so now.]

Wash uses 5ft of movement to move behind Balassar (1 square to the left) and starts muttering words in celestial "Sounm oo sceck si hwul" and waving his hands as Balassar and the Kobald in front of him are engulfed in light, he then pops back 5ft to the right, and 5ft diagonally down to the right.

[Mechanically as a bonus action Wash uses 1d6 of his healing light to heal Balassar 5 .

Wash also calls down sacred flames on Kobald1, DEX 13 save, the spell ignores cover (from trying to hit through Balassar), radiant damage: 2 ]

Not great damage (if the kobald doesn't make save), but at least it was a good heal!

Alton will move inside the house taking up the spot next to Balassar, so that Balassar is between himself and Wash. "This is all you big guy." Alton will say to Balassar as he draws his rapier and turns to face Kobold2 saying to it, "My friend looks more like a dragon than you."

Action: Alton casts Vicious Mockery on Kobold#2. DC 14 Wisdom save for 4 Psychic damage and disadvantage on its next attack roll on a failed save. 

Kobold 1's DEX save:  23

Wash, your energy flows into healing Balassar, but you are unable to make your strike on the kobold successfully.

Kobold 2's WIS save:  8

The kobold seems confused, but you see the pain on its face as the spell takes effect.

Kobold 1 moves next to its companion, and they attack in unison with their shortswords, Kobold 1 on Balassar:

Attack: 21 Damage: 5

Kobold 2 on Alton:

Attack: 8 Damage: 6

Balassar takes another horrible wound, but is soaking up the damage from the rest of you.  Alton isn't injured as the sword glances off his armour.

Round Two
Balassar
Kobold 3
Alton and Wash
Kobolds 1 and 2

Balassar is up.

Balassar grunts as he looks to where the bolt came from. He lets out a roar taking another swing at the Kobold in front of him.

OOC:

Bonus action - Second Wind: 8

Action: Attack: 18 Damage: 8
