This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Still gripping her handaxes in both hands, Akra runs after the goblin, determined to not let it get away. She throws one axe near its head, meaning to avoid killing it if she can.
Attack: 14 Damage: 8
Immediately afterwards, Akra throws the second axe, aiming for the goblin's leg.
(Akra sprints after the Serious Goblin and throws her Handaxes at her retreating enemy. With deft skill the Handaxe handle manages to bonk the Goblin in the back of the head, knocking it unconscious. The 2nd Handaxe hits the back of his knee for good measure, leaving a nasty bruise.
The lazy goblin looks terrified, having just seen his friend dropped hard, possibly even killed. He pees his pants, shakes in fear, drops to his knees and starts begging in broken Common.)
"N-n-no... please. I have kids. I didn't want to be a guard, they made me! Please don't kill me!"
(The rest of the party comes out of hiding as the goblin starts sobbing, loudly, looking absolutely pathetic. He looks around at you all before zeroing in on Akra.)
"You... you look like nice person, please, tell your friends no kill me! PLEASE!"
(He continues wailing on his knees in front of you all, blood still spurting from his shoulder.)

Nordan says in goblin to the goblin looking at Akra
help us and you will see your family again if not think of your children growing up with out you wondering who there father was or why he was with this heinous cult following a god that needs a sacrifice of an innocent to notice his follower that is no god that is a demand in disguise as a god to make you turn twisted in the mind help us and your family re claim there sanity
Akra looks down at the goblin with disdain, confused as to why he would look to her considering that she had just knocked out his friend. "I have no respect for those without honour," she says, "especially when they kidnap innocent children." She then waits for the goblin to reply Nordan, wondering what he could have said.
DMs note: Nordan, Persuasion wouldn't really apply here, but I'm going to say you do it more as an Intimidation check. Either way, it's a high roll so it's enough to get the job done.
(As Nordan speaks in Goblin and makes him fear for his life, the Lazy Goblin is thoroughly intimidated.)
"Yes, Krang tell you everything! Just don't kill me! You-you want little girl? She's in there."
(Krang points at the tomb.)
"Big boss, Sarris, tell us kidnap little girl for sacrifice to Goblin god. Turn holy tomb into temple for Goblin god. Goblin god happy. Has wizard goblin doing, uh... uh..." (starts speaking Goblin)
Ritual?
"Sacrifice little girl tonight. This many goblins."
(Krang holds up 6 little green fingers.)
"P-p-please, let Krang go. You never see me again. I go, ok?"
(Krang motions like he's leaving, but very cautiously, as he still fears for his life. The Serious Goblin still lays unconscious a few feet away.)
(I just wanted to give everyone else a chance to respond so I could see what the others do first. Let me know if I should instead just go ahead and reply.)
Dartor looks at the goblin feeling slight pity for it and then turns to the others, "Maybe we should let him go, he was only following orders after all, and as a soldier you need to carry them out, no questions asked." He turned to Nordan, "I have had to do this myself, in the past"
"That is true. It didn't look like he was following his orders very well when we arrived though," Akra points out. "Maybe we should give him a chance at redemption. He can help us in there, and earn his freedom when we have Bess."
"Y-you want me to... Krang can't hurt his friends! Please let me go! Or.. or tie me up. Yeah, tie Krang up and let me go when you come back. Please don't make me hurt my friends. I just want to go home..."
(Krang starts wailing pathetically at your feet. The Serious Goblin hasn't stirred. He's still knocked out hard. )
What do you all do?
DMs note: No worries, I know you two are still here, it's just an unfortunate reality that sometimes games fizzle out. You all are just about at the halfway point, just fyi.
"he wont make it far cause of his wounds we will tie him up then deal with him later and help him maybe cause we need to get bess before she is sacrificed if we are in agreement of course" nordan says while he looks at everyone
Akra looks between her party members, then at the two goblins. "Ok, Krang, we'll tie you up for now until we get back. Let's also tie up his buddy over there to another tree, and gag him in case he tries something when he wakes up. Then we can enter. How about that?"
(The group has come to a consensus and ties up Krang to a tree that is out of the way and hidden from sight, gagging him for extra insurance. They also tie up and gag the unconscious Serious Goblin. The group goes to the entrance of the cave, which has a large stone double door with ornate carvings. The door is halfway open, and you all can easily look inside. There are steps going down, then a bend in the stairs where you can no longer see in. Also, it is fairly dark in there.)
DMs note: I'm going to need to know what order you all will be marching in. Pick a number from 1-5, first come first serve. Please also give me a pre-emptive Perception check so we can keep things moving.

DMs note: Akra, you're actually 4th since we lost a party member. Dartor is, by default, 3rd. I'll roll a quick Perception for him for when he comes back.

Party Order: Blade, Nordan, Dartor, Akra
(You all enter and go down the stairs. After a few moments you turn, then see a long, dark corridor with a slight light source at the end. Note: The dash lines are your line of sight.)
(You all see 3 Goblins in the distance, sitting around a big, brass brazier. They seem to be preoccupied with cooking their dinner, not paying much attention, but they are about 150 feet away. The room itself is lit by the fire in the brazier, but the corridor is somewhat dark, providing you all some cover, but not completely. The closer you get to the entrance, the more likely you'll be noticed. )
Spoiler for Akra:
You're bringing up the rear and your vision is obstructed by the rest of the party as well as the corridor. Something feels off to you when it comes to your lines of sight.
What do you all do?
DM's note: The corridor is about 60 feet long, narrow, and the distance from the end of the corridor to the Goblins appears to be another 60-70 feet. If you all want to go past the opening of the corridor, you'll have to roll a Stealth Check. If you all decide to attack only the person in front, Blade, would get a surprise round.
"It doesn't look like there's anything else back here," Akra whispers to the party, "But there is certainly something fishy going on up ahead so we should be careful. If you let me through, I can have a closer look, but I'll only go as far as the rest of this corridor for now."
"Or," she adds, "One of you can try scouting ahead. Let me know what you want to do."
Still gripping her handaxes in both hands, Akra runs after the goblin, determined to not let it get away. She throws one axe near its head, meaning to avoid killing it if she can.
Attack: 14 Damage: 8
Immediately afterwards, Akra throws the second axe, aiming for the goblin's leg.
Attack: 11 Damage: 6

(Hi, I'm back 😊 I've been caught up with some personal things, so sorry for being absent for a few days)
Blade is happy with the plan of tying them up and heading on. He wouldn't trust goblins as far as he can throw them.
(The group has come to a consensus and ties up Krang to a tree that is out of the way and hidden from sight, gagging him for extra insurance. They also tie up and gag the unconscious Serious Goblin.
