This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Eraminus sets his torch on the cave floor so he can still have light. He pops his neck and placed himself into a fighting stance. He kept this feet shoulder width apart, his right foot placed slightly forward. He raised his axe to a guard position as the goblins charged.
In efforts to break up the group of goblins, Alvara casts Grease.
Slick grease covers the ground in a 10-foot square in front of the goblins, leaving 5 feet of clean ground between the grease and the chest for any goblins that make it past. The ground where the grease has formed becomes difficult terrain, slowing the movement of the goblins and each goblin must make a dexterity save of 14 or fall prone.
She whispers to Flint and Eraminus, "Careful if you're going more than 5 feet past the chest... it'll be reallll slippery."
Grease spell description:
Slick grease covers the ground in a 10-foot square centered on a point within range and turns it into difficult terrain for the duration.
When the grease appears, each creature standing in its area must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or fall prone. A creature that enters the area or ends its turn there must also succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or fall prone.
(Hey, @Polarbearr, you know if you use the brackets when you cast a spell, it will list the description for you. Example: [.spell]Spell Name[/.spell] just without the periods. You can use this for others things as well, such as items and actions, just replace "spell" with action or item, or magic item.)
Eraminus nods, drawing a javelin and taking aim at one of the goblins wielding a bow. He pulls his arm back, his hand coming to rest behind his head before he launched the javelin forward.
Attack: 14 Damage: 9
(Plus 4 onto the damage for strength modifier, bringing total to 13)
Once thrown he redraws his hand axe and resumes his stance.
Flint exclaims, “These wee devils are quick!” He moves to Eraminus’ side, just outside the grease puddle, trying to form a wall for the approaching goblins. He again casts sacred flame on the nearest goblin.
Alaric helps the human prisoner, bringing him back to conscious. He nods at Alaric, and slumps against the rocks, moaning quietly. Alaric comes out behind the goblins, strikes one down, and wounds another.
(The remaining two goblins surrender.)

Alaric calls to the group, "Nicely done! The grease was a good touch."
He turns to Flint, "The prisoner is injured, but alive. He may benefit from your assistance."
(( That's a relief! Yay, us.
I'm almost to bed...I'd suggest tying up the ones who survived, then talking to the rescued prisoner before we decide what to do with the goblins.
We may also want to go get Berak...
And we should search the place and take everything of value back to the cart; we probably need to return the stuff stolen from Phandalen...can't eaily sell it and the prisoner would know we took it...
Eraminus drags the unconscious goblin out of the grease and ties its hands behind its back, doing the same with the two concious goblins. He then pulls the javelin from the dead goblin, wiping it clean of blood. He looks at Flint, Alaric, and Alvara giving them an approving nod.
Eraminus walks over to the two goblins, "When is the next messenger for the Black Spider due to come?"
"Me named Yeekmik, me help you in any way me can. You save me life, me grateful. Klarg very men, he beat us, and no tell us when next messenger come." The other goblin remains silent.

Alvara casts Grease, causing the goblins to slip and lose their footing.
Eraminus throws a javelin with skill, catching a goblin in the heart, killing him.

Alaric unties the bonds and crouches down beside the prisoner, hurriedly trying to help him.
Medicine: 22
If he gets the prisoner her awake, he says "Rest, and stay quiet, we're here to rescue you both, but there's still goblins."
He then moves quickly and sneakily to the back of the collection of goblins, if any left standing.
(( I'll make two attacks, the first with advantage, but ignore the second D20 if advantage not possible ))
Attack 1: Attack: 25 Damage: 8
Attack 2: Attack: 24 Damage: 2
Knockouts...
Alvara feels a twinge of pride as the goblins slip on the grease and she casts Fire Bolt on the nearest goblin still approaching them.
Attack roll: 8 Damage: 4
(( Very cool on the spell coding! ))
Alvara strikes a goblin dead with her firebolt.
The goblins, seeing their friends die, try to scramble away, though they slip on the grease, and don't make it far.
Eraminus knocks a goblin out cold with his axe.
Flint casts Sacred Flame again, (Mass Dex save: 9)
Alaric helps the human prisoner, bringing him back to conscious. He nods at Alaric, and slumps against the rocks, moaning quietly. Alaric comes out behind the goblins, strikes one down, and wounds another.
