Rinn positions himself so that he has clear sight of the entrance of the cavern but still remains hidden. He readies his bow, nocking an arrow, prepared to shoot one of the guards as soon as the attack begins.
Robwin nods to Gralk, with a nod that says ‘now’!... And at the same time, he draws his wand, mutters an ancient arcane word, and sends a small bolt of fire at the other goblin...
Action: casting fire bolt at goblin: Attack: 23 Damage: 1
On the east side of the stream flowing from the cave mouth, the small area in the briar thickets, hollowed out to form a lookout post or blind, is now smoldering. The wooden planks that flatten out the briars and provide room for guards to lie hidden and watch the area does not look in danger of starting fire.
Robwin shakes his head, “I can’t make myself invisible, unfortunately. I’ve not perfected that one quite yet...”. He thinks for a while and notices all the water about... “Oh, I could maybe, umm, do something like this though....”.
He casts his shape water cantrip to pull water from the stream and shape it into a large tower shield, in mid air. He casts again, and it freezes solid. It lowers to the ground and he holds it up with one hand. He casts again, and it turns opaque black...
He lifts it with some difficulty “That any use?.. oh hells that’s cold! .. and heavy!.... hmmm, I could maybe freeze a new one around a branch or something, so we’ve got something warmer to hold!?”.
He looks both proud, and also like he’s already having second thoughts... He stands there propping his huge black tower shield up against a tree, then flexes his fingers to get the warmth back into them.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Rinn chuckles as he pulls a grasshopper's leg that he had caught on the farm out of a pocket and casts Jump on himself and jumps across the stream. "I can't turn invisible, but as good as." He looks into the cave down the path on the east side in from of him. "I'll go check it out while you come across." And he creeps into the gloom while keeping an eye open for traps (Stealth: 23 and Perception: 14).
“What?!” Robwin says to TT. “It could have... you know.. if we.... oh forget it!”. He looks at her for a second then can’t help laughing along with her.
Anyone attempting to jump the stream, make a strength check.
You have space for a "running" long jump.
When you make a long jump, you cover a number of feet up to your Strength score if you move at least 10 feet on foot immediately before the jump. When you make a standing long jump, you can leap only half that distance. Either way, each foot you clear on the jump costs a foot of movement.
The weakest among you should be able to make the five foot jump over the stream provided you make the strength check.
If you wade into the stream, let me know. ))

TT says a prayer and casts guidance on herself and follows in. Stealth 11 + 4
Wolfsong smiles a predatory smile as he draws one of his javelins from his pack, "Then let the hunt begin."
"We should take them out from a distance, then move the bodies incase of a guard change," Wolfsong advises as he stalks his way forward.
Stealth 11
Rinn positions himself so that he has clear sight of the entrance of the cavern but still remains hidden. He readies his bow, nocking an arrow, prepared to shoot one of the guards as soon as the attack begins.
Glufs aims her sling at the other guard and looks to the party.
Gralk looks to TT, Robwin, and Ikki for her queue.
Gaatbort looks to Blaire and Eli.
Seeing Rinn and Gluf ready Wolfsong gives them quick nod before launching his javelin at one of the goblins.
Attack: 24 Damage: 9
Robwin nods to Gralk, with a nod that says ‘now’!... And at the same time, he draws his wand, mutters an ancient arcane word, and sends a small bolt of fire at the other goblin...

Rinn quickly fires an arrow at the goblin not skewered by Wolfsong's javelin.
Shortbow Attack: 15 Damage: 7
If at advantage due to stealth, second roll: 18
Sneak attack if attack was at advantage and hits: 6
TT will raise her hand and towards the goblins and it glows with a divine light as she casts Guiding Bolt Attack: 12 Damage: 12
(OOC: WOOT Nat 20! That poor goblin!)
The three goblins, Glufs, Gralk and Gaatbort are once again stunned by the fast, efficient and deadly action of the party.
They watch as Wolfsong's javelin skewers one guard while Rinn's arrow and Robwin's magic turn the other into a pincushion.
Before either made a sound or anyone else reacted a spell from TT turned the entire scene to ash.
The surge was so sudden and complete that there wasn't even a smell. Of burned flesh.
Blaire quietly said, "Inside we go then."
She began slowly moving forward. The goblins on her heels.
Eli said softly, "By Helm." He made no other statement and followed about 15 ft behind Blaire.
(( Absolutely amazing start to this chapter! WOW! ))

You can see the stream the goblins had referred to occasionally as a river flows gently with clear water.
While it's difficult to be sure, it doesn't look too deep either.
There is no space to enter from the west side of the cave mouth without wading in the stream.
It is about five feet wide. You could attempt to jump it and use the stone path on the east side.
Ikki, Rinn, Wolfsong, Robwin, TT:
What do you want to do?
What order do you want to enter the cave?
"We should send someone in to scout it out, do any of you know how to turn invisible?"
Robwin shakes his head, “I can’t make myself invisible, unfortunately. I’ve not perfected that one quite yet...”. He thinks for a while and notices all the water about... “Oh, I could maybe, umm, do something like this though....”.

Robwin, stares agog, as he watches Rinn leap the stream and practically disappear into the shadowy cave with ease...
Still staring at the cave entrance, blinking once or twice, he drops all his spells and the shield splashes into a puddle on the floor at his feet.

TT stifles a giggle at Robwin after seeing Rinn jump off into the cave.
“What?!” Robwin says to TT. “It could have... you know.. if we.... oh forget it!”. He looks at her for a second then can’t help laughing along with her.
