You hear some clicking sounds as well as what sounds like something sliding/being drug across the ground. It also seems that Cadence has made her exit of the castle. Following the sounds of the universe directing her towards her next adventure.
This high, narrow hall looks as if it might have been part of a chapel or shrine at one time. Angelic figures are sculpted along the room’s upper reaches, looking down on the floor below. To the north, heavy curtains block a matching pair of archways. Between the archways is a cracked but ornately carved stone brazier.
Scanning the room you notice a creature up on a ledge near the angelic figures. It appears to be snake-like. Do you still fire at it?
Nova would notice the missing scent. The universe finally directed Cadence down her new path. Another one gone.
The druid would exchange a look with Veldra when Raithe would pop in to make her announcement. With a nod of her head, she'd trust Velda with things here while she followed the rogue out on high alert.
As Raithe goes on the offensive, Nova would take a deep inhale to familiarize herself with what they could be facing.
Shortly after stepping into the room, Raithe sees the snake-like creature slithering above on a nearby ledge. Before the creature even has time to register that someone has entered the room, it’s pierced by an expertly placed arrow and falls to the ground with a dull thud.
From the other side of the curtains, (leading north), you hear a pair of voices debating what could be going on in the next room.
Raithe looks to Nova and eyes the curtain with the voices and raises her eyebrows.
She finds a good place to hide with a view of the curtain…
roll stealth please. Nova also if you are going to try and hide. (Also the only thing on the floor of the room is a brazier. And there are two curtains leading north. Which one do you face?)
Raithe casts minor illusion on a spot along the wall next to Nova to make a static 3D image of a large cabinet or some type of large furniture that looks like it would fit in well with the rest of the decor. She gestures for Nova to step inside of it, and Raithe hides behind it.
Raithe quickly creates an illusory image of a brazier next to the one already in the room large enough for spider nova to hide inside. In addition to it being large enough to conceal himself. (although Spider Nova is welcome to try and clamber up onto the wall/ceiling if she so wishes)
After a few moments, a pair of goblin heads poke out from the curtains. (One goblin head per curtain) They look around the room and then exchange looks while conversing in goblin.
“I don’t see anything... do you?”
”Doesn’t seem to be anything here. Maybe Luhpo’s pet fell on the ground and crawled back up out of sight.”
”That thing gives me the creeps. I’m outta here. Let’s go.”
Both heads quickly pop back to the other side of the curtain.
SpiderNova would do what a spider can and skitter up the wall/ceiling. She'd hang about. They didn't appear to be threats to her as they were about the leave, but with Raithe picking a fight for her own justified reasons, Nova would remain on protective standby for her friend. Although she would not attack the goblins directly herself, she'd follow Raithe and provide inconspicuous help if she could. ie. a web trip wire for example.
I’ll allow the second attack on the second goblin, though sadly it narrowly missed him just as he’s going back through the curtain. As the arrow clangs off the stone wall and clatters to the floor you hear more speak in goblin “I think there’s someone here Luhpo”
SpiderNova would continue to skitter around after Raithe like a stealthy protective shadow. She'd check in on the resident spidey webs to meet the locals, you know, make new 'mini me' friends to see if she could get the scoop of any additional info on potential threats to her friends. If anyone does manage to sneak up on them, that's when SpideyNova would drop an attack. Otherwise she'd have more fun practicing her webbing and helping Raithe by setting traps to give her advantage.
(Assuming Raithe holds position behind the brazier. Also the illusory one is still active)
A few moments pass and a pair of goblins come through the western most curtain. They have weapons at the ready, quite certain something is going on and they seem a bit confused as they search the room by the illusory brazier.
Raithe looks around for a couple minutes for anything hidden (investigation: 7)
Assuming nothing, she'll listen at the door to Room C and if she hears nothing, open it quietly for a look.
Perception: 21
Stealth: 27

Raithe turns to Nova and Velda to say "clicking, and something being dragged across the floor. Ready?"
And once they're ready she'll crack open the door and fire at anything hostile.
Attack: 25 Damage: 17 plus 5 sneak attack plus 8 double sneak attack damage

Snake-like? She absolutely fires.

“Woop! Woop woop woop…” Nova hops, shifting into a giant spider and skittering around to Raithe’s hideout.

Raithe pulls an arrow, draws, aims, and fires at the one who spoke first.

“I don’t see anything... do you?” the first goblin says. (I imagined this one to be in the eastern part of the room)
THUNK!
An arrow from Raithe finds its way into the goblins eye socket and he slumps slowly to the floor.
”Doesn’t seem to be anything here. Maybe Luhpo’s pet fell on the ground and crawled back up out of sight.”
He then pops back through the other side of the curtain. “Hey wotchu layin down for?”
Raithe will shoot again, and goblin number two, if she can...
Attack: 11 Damage: 9
(Advantage roll if Raithe still has surprise: 25 and sneak attack damage if applicable: 5)

What is spider nova up to?
SpiderNova would continue to skitter around after Raithe like a stealthy protective shadow.

Nova humming to herself.

Oh, if we can act, Raithe would replace Nova sitting in the illusory brazier, and ready another arrow.
