During your day long trip to Phandalin, Rinn and Silenus notice some goblins covertly watching them once they get closer to the Triboar trail. Jasmine manages to warn everyone of a pit trap near the trail allowing the party to get around it. 

Jasmine voices the opinion that we should stop and deal with the pit to prevent others troubles.

Olsihla disagrees, "If we must, we will let the authorities in this Phandalin know."

(( What do Silenus and Rinn suggest? ))

If the pit trap was near the goblins, Silenus would be happy to stop and have a chat with the goblins and let them know they should be trying to waylay travelers.

If not, Silenus would be inclined just to poke the trap with one of his javelin's to set it off and say that if someone can't see an open hole in the ground they probably can't be helped.

(( Just a clarification... The goblins following you did not appear to come from the castle. They were from much later in the day. ))

((Okay, good. I kind of just assumed that. Are they in the area of the pit?))

(Rinn would agree to disable the trap - could he easily do so with his mage hand?)

The pit trap is fairly basic though the covering is well done. (( DC 10 for the mage hand to uncover the trap or drag debris into it -- you tell me ))

(( With examining and disabling the pit and/or confronting the goblins, roll initiative with advantage. Give me your free pre-combat action - including Rinn's activity with the pitt. Give me the action you take on your "turn". Rinn and Silenus have noted seven goblins. ))

Silenus waves a hand at the goblins.

”Hey, are you bandit dudes? It’s totally, like, not the day to be bandits.”

Silenus walks up to as close as he can get to them.

If they’re hostile he lets the excitement of the encounter get to him and his energy bubbles up (Bonus Action - Rage - 8  )

As he enters his excited rage, a bolt of light shoots out of Silenus’s chest and races straight at one of the goblins (DC 15 CON save or takes 2  radiant damage and is blinded for a turn).

Silenus then leaps up with enthusiasm and hacks away with his great axe at two other goblins.

Attack 1: Attack: 22 Damage: 13  

Attack 2: Attack: 20 Damage: 13  

There are 2 goblins immediately confronting Silenus aggressively. (( AC 15 (leather armor, shield) HP 12 ea. w/ Scimitar crafted to match their small size. ))

Another 3 goblins immediately rushing Silenus (( AC 15 (studded leather armor) HP 28 apparently w/ metal claws ))

And another 2 hang back (( AC 16 (studded leather armor) HP 61 ))

One of the goblin commanders attemps to dodge the lightning as Silenus cleaves through the forward two goblins. (( CON 13 ))

The goblin commander (A) gets hit by the magical effect and goes blind.

Goblin commander (B) nashes their teeth. 

The three goblin brawlers (C, D, E) start to rush in. 

Initiative 20

Rinn would simply drag something into the trap to both set it off and partially fill the hole. (OOC - let me know what to roll for that?)

Rinn's Initiative: 10

Rinn will then start firing at the goblins to aid Silenus, focusing his first shot at either the goblin commander or one of the rushing goblins, whichever he is able to easily see.

Longbow Attack: 12 Damage: 11

Sneak attack if applicable: 8

Jasmine flicks sweat off her brow calling her power in Sylvan, the ice blade flies toward the goblin commanders. (( 23 to Hit B for 8 dmg and DC 14 Dex or A&B take 12 cold dmg ))
