Lowtown Stairs, Round 2 recap:

Nivlen half clambers/half is pulled up to Elelyel's shoulders, balanced at his hips(free action on the part of both Nivlen and Elelyel's efforts combined). He has free range with his hands to use his crossbow with his magical bandoleer, and since he is elevated well above the heads of the goblins, he gets advantage on the first attack each round. He is attempting to target the [Hobgoblin?, Bugbear?] lieutenant{ooc i need attack rolls for these.}

Elelyel, conversly, is now carrying a person acoss one shoulder, and because of this, gets disadvantage on attack rolls and dex saves. She fires off a firebolt and [hits?misses?, will edit in...]

Elric Throws one of his magic stones, hitting another goblin dead.(I Think? if not, please let me know if i read the page wrong, lol)

Jhoni sticks a dart into a goblin, killing it, and TlakShik throws one of Elric's stones as well. Thurk follows suit,each stone strikes another goblin dead.

Round ?

If Nivlen is hoisted in a way that allows, he would like to shoot over the heads of the goblins, aiming at their leaders.

(DM will need to let me know if I can get more than one shot off in a round and confirm the shot(s) are with disadvantage, if possible at all.)

 Round is 2, roll whenenever you're ready

Quote from lexeai >>

Elelyel will sling him over her shoulder, facing back so he can shoot.

After his next shot, she'll turn around and send a fire bolt to the closest creatures. Attack: 20 Damage: 7

 second d20 for disadv:10, will edit in result{here}

Quote from Krivoi_Rog >>

OCC Are there any rocks, rubble or other projectile like objects lying around?

If there are any throwable things lying around, Tlak-Shik will start throwing them at the Bug Bear.

Attack: 12 Damage: 3

If there is nothing, he will not slow down.  "To ship!"

 Hit! dead mini-gob

Quote from Rosscobee86 >>

Apologies, time zones and shift work make prompt posting challenging. Jhoni will keep pace with Thurk and will sacrifice another dart to thin out the goblin horde forming. Attack: 14 Damage: 4

 another dead goblin minion!

 Round 2

Nivlen now hoisted and free to shoot will take aim at the bugbear and quickly load a poisoned bolt and synchronize the shaking of Elelyel’s stride, countering the bouncing gait.

Attack: 15 Damage: 6. Poison damage: 4

Nivlen will follow that shot by loading and firing a non-poisoned bolt at the same bugbear.

Attack: 25 Damage: 7

Round 2

If the bugbear or hobgoblin are still up, Elric will let loose another magic stone at one with a Hex on it. Then "reloads" his magic stone supply, handing one to any how take it.

Attack: 15 dealing 11 damage on hit.

Bonus Action: Magic stone

Jhoni will continue trying to thin the goblins by throwing a dart as they move. 
Attack: 7 Damage: 4

Temple catacombs:

Tegid, Because of your arcane knowledge, you recognize the tattoos as a form of writing used by the denizens of the the Fey realms. You believe it to be some kind of magical Glyph, perhaps a curse of some sort. Only the observant rodent has the Tattoos, the others just seem like normal Giant Rats.  As you cast Beast Bond, The creature begins to shake it's head as if it is fighting the spell. It stumbles back, and one of the the traps closes on it's foot.  The creature lets out a loud shriek, breaking your attempt at linking to it's mind. 

The tattoos on the creature immediately begin to swirl and move, and before your eyes the creature begins to change. It's body lengthens, it's head swells and shortens, and the fur begins to change to   pink, scarred flesh. Before you with it's foot caught in the rat trap is a naked middle aged man with silvery black hair and piercing blue eyes.

He reaches to his foot, wincing at the wound, and then looks toward you. "G'day gents, a little assist would be jes' great, if you don't mind...I seem to be a bit stuck 'ere at the moment." You notice that the Tattoos have taken a different set of shapes on the man's skin, and they are now white.

"Name's Benoot, and I've been stuck down 'ere quite a while, you're the first people i've seen in months!" he continues. A sudden sense of urgency crossed the man's face, and he almost shouts, "I must inform Androll of those that would conspire against him, is he here? Please, it is of vital importance that i warn him!"

The other rats have scurried back down the stairs to the sewers, startled by their companion's sudden change in appearance.

How would you like to proceed?

Ai'ryn listens intently to the man's words and watches his body language.  He mentioned Androll, but that could be as much a trap as anything, if Androll put him down here....What secrets might this person have, and what might they be trying to derive?

Insight: 6 

 (OOC:  Dangit, forgot about Tides of Chaos again - can I just roll again for advantage?)

Righteousness moves to ai'ryn's side and says the following to Benoot "Greetings Benoot, and if you need healing alongside freeing you, I would assist you on that front."

(Persuasion: 4 and thautamurgy used to enhance via a coaxing/calming voice.)

"with regards to your message, who is it from and who conspires against the hero-lord of this city?"

(OOC: Seeing if he is on the up and up. he probably won't be, but it never hurts to check.)

Tlak-Shik will take one of Elric's magic stones and hurl it at the Bug Bear Lt.

Attack: 16 Damage: 10

"Well Benoot, if you have not seen anyone for some time, how long have you been down here, and for what purpose were you sent here?"

Elelyel curses as she misses. She goes further down the path before trying again.

Attack: 12 Damage: 5

"Well thats interesting"   Mallus says checking the man for any man for any magic.

 (He casts Detect Magic again.)

[ Koric, Catacombs, with rat-man ]

Koric looks down at the transformed man, "You'll have to pardon my skepticism. Today I have seen an Illithid pretending to be a well-meaning babarian, and now a man-turned-rat-turned-man again who says he knows Andoril and needs to warn him about something, but didn't bother to change back into a man until we come by? You'll have to forgive me if I -- excuse the expression -- smell a rat. Explain yourself! And make it convincing."

Bump?

Grind ... 🥴

Talk- Shik will rub his fore- limbs together resting aloud buzzing sound.  He’ll then start pitching rubble at the foe. “To ship, back not good for going.”

ooc: honk.

Honk.

I think Androll's Rock has run into an Unstoppable Force, Entropy.  Not that entropy is really a force.  Sadly I will be retiring Tlak-Shik, he is needed somewhere else.

Any news with the campaign? If not, I may have to retire Mallus.

Sadly, I think it's dead

yeah, righteousness could be pulled unless we get intel on whether or not this campaign continues.
