Readied Attack: 25 Damage: 10 plus 5 sneak attack damage

Plus 6 crit sneak attack damage hooboy

Velda, sensing the fur bristle underneath her, would set her blade against the edge of her shield to steady herself, ready to strike at anyone coming into view. As soon as she'd see the goblin, Velda would trust Nova to cross the distance, allowing her to swing at the goblin, ending them quickly and quietly.

with advantage because of surprise?:  25 for 8 damage and another 3 for that crit!

Cadence peaks through the curtain, watching her party take out another goblin...hopefully. 

The goblin makes it to the steel door and sees the body of his friend just before ... he doesn’t see anything anymore. Between Raithe’s backstab and Velda’s strike across its chest. It lets out a sigh as it slumps gently to the ground. Due in part to Raithe being ready to catch it. 

WolfNova gently bounces in excitement from Raithe and Velda's efficient take down of the goblin. It was a sight to behold. She'd pad her paws quietly in place from her pride of the group working well together. Soon enough she'd crouch back down to slink her and Velda around after Raithe to work their way closer to Cadence. The druid would snap her nose and ears to attention, listening and sniffing for the unseen. Was there anything else besides goblins to be worried about?

Nova's nose knows?: 24

Cadence slips back to the same side of the curtain as Raithe and makes eye contact with the warrior, pointing two fingers at her own eyes, and then swinging them around towards the door the goblin had come from. She pads as quietly as she can over to the door. As she moves across the room she casts disguise self on herself, making her look like the goblin they just took down, and moves towards the door, making sure that Raithe won't be visible through it when she opens it.  She winks at Raithe. 

Assuming Raithe seems on board and moves away from the door, she'll open it and walk through into the next room, leaving the door open behind her. 

Raithe will step to the side, out of sight from anyone within the doorway, at the ready to pounce in case she hears things going south.

Velda would leave the blood on the blade. She usually hated it when her weapons weren't well looked after, but here, it might help conceal the sheen of the weapon for a bit longer. She didn't like that they were killing goblins much like Hugz and Droop, but if they wanted to get into this place unseen, it was their best bet for doing so.

Nova you are picking up quite a lot of smells.

Obviously there is the smell of goblin in the castle and nearest to you is the smell of goblin blood... From the room the two goblins have come from you’re picking up largely what you think is the smell of food being cooked. Though it doesn’t smell particularly like anything you would enjoy.

The scent of hobgoblin is in the air, though you’re unsure where exactly it is coming from. You’re also getting the faintest whiffs of human, dwarf, and an owl... or is that a bear... and one other smell you can’t quite place at the moment (nature check).

After the party moves out of line of sight from the door. Cadence opens the door. To a room the must have been where the lord of the castle once entertained his guests, throwing lavish banquets and dances. Though now however this place is a foul goblin mess hall. The western portion of this large hall ends in a wall of rubble, but the remainder is still intact. The ceiling opens up dramatically as you enter soaring up to twenty-five feet high. Two large wooden tables with plain benches stand in the middle of the room, and a brass brazier full of glowing coals is tucked into one corner. Dirty dishes, half-full stewpots, moldy heels of bread, and gnawed bones cover the tables. You also see 4 goblins looking absolutely miserable as the move about the hall quickly. From various kitchen tasks, glancing furtively over at a fifth figure. A rather fat and cantankerous looking older goblin who addresses you as you enter. “Where’s the other one?” Then without waiting for your reply, “get back to work pulling the mold of the bread!”

Yeeg, the goblin who ordered Cadnece to get to work, continues to stare at them. “Well? Are you gonna get to work or not?” They start to rise from the chair and reach for a whip. The rest of the goblins in the room reflexively cower away from Yeeg. Looking at the four other goblins diligently working, you notice they all have injuries that appear to have been cause from a whip... perhaps this one...

Cadence scratches her head, and then makes a bit of a confused face, and points out the door, and walks back out, turning to the right.  She lets her disguise vanish and with mischievous eyes looking at the other party members, crouches down and quietly pulls out her blade.  The holds up her hand, all five fingers up, and shows her splayed five fingered hand to everyone, then points at the door. 

It doesn’t take long before Yeeg follows out after you. You hear him speaking (goblin) “You lot stay here and keep working. It’s a disgrace no one here’s had dinner yet.”

Everyone gets an attack against Yeeg as a surprise round. 

Cadence slashes at him with two short swords.

Attack: 14 Damage: 8

Attack: 7 Damage: 5

Raithe readies another arrow...

Attack: 25 Damage: 11 plus 7 sneak attack damage

Cadence slashes the goblin across the chest with her first swing causing him to jump back and out of the way of the second swing. 

“Intru...” is all he manages to say before Raithes arrow finds its mark in the creatures throat. Fortunately for you he seems to have closed the door behind him. Four left in the room...

 Right at that moment a pair of goblins walk through the curtain to the North. The stare at the four of you dumbfounded for a moment and then draw their blades. Everyone roll initiative!

Nova's hair stands on end and she readies with a snarl.
