"Well, I must say," Symon glances at Alton, "he didn't even get to scream, which is a bit unusual since most goblins like to scream.  I think it might have to do with their having an inferiority complex, you ever hear of Sigmus Schadenfreude, he was a distant cousin of mine; anyway, he had this theory that most aggressiveness could be attributed to...huh, hem, well when you look at goblins, what with them being sma... I mean viscous and what not, it is not surprising that they might want to scream.  Inferiority complexes can result in some pretty strange behaviors, trying to show others up for example, trying to distract for their lack of, what did he call that, elf steam?, er, well something like that.  Not sure I understand how a steaming elf would have anything to do with a screaming goblin, but Sigmus thought it might be a key to lessening antisocial behavior.  I suppose proving the mortality of a screaming, or unscreaming, is that even an idea? goblin counts for more in the grande scheme of things."  He smiles brightly, "Shall we continue?"

"...Well, that was easy." Alton laughs a little and looks around... deciding it would be better not to look the gift horse in the mouth as he takes the lead and moves over the bridge!

"Nice work Darius, quick and easy, like your style"

Dale then follows Alton and Symon wondering what he had done to come into such an eclectic group

Eager to take out more goblins and find their associates, Darius followed behind Alton.

This large cave is divided in half by a ten foot high escarpment. A steep natural staircase leads from the lower portion to the upper ledge. The air is hazy with the smoke of cooking fire, and pungent form the smell of poorly cured hides and unwashed goblins. Five goblins sit at the bottom of the drop off with one goblin at the top, along with Sildar Hallwinter tied against a stalagmite (or the other one, whichever on is on the ground.) He looks like he's been beaten and tortured. When they see you the goblins attack. Roll initiative>

Goblin 1 leaps at Symon with its shortsword,

Attack: 17 Damage:3  Slashing

Another goblin attacks Alton with its sword

 Attack: 11 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.  Slashing

Goblin 4 scampers up the stairs and fires a arrow at Darius.

Attack: 11 Damage:3  Piercing

!d6 cause I cannot get the damage to roll 3

"Yieeee! Get away from me you nasty little dog turd!" Symon screams in a somewhat panicked tone of voice, high and squeaky. He stabs at the goblin with his Poignard and dagger.

Attack: 20 Damage: 7  OFHAttack: 9 Damage: 3

OCC Ooophs! In a state of panic, well sort of, Symon forgot that he has to wait his turn to lose it; not that anyone else will but, he is the type who is eager to get a little bit excited, shall we say.

(( Imma gonna just presume Darius goes after Dale. I only point this out so we don't rush to the next round right after Dale takes his turn. ))

Darius hissed through gritted teeth as the arrow sank into his side. He fought off the upsurge of panic that came with it; he'd faced death before, and knew fighting to the end was the only option he had at this point.

(I think Alton needs to go?)

Yes

(sorry, long day)

Alton was stuck with his bow in hand so, he draws his shortsword to stab the goblin who attacked him.

To Hit: 7 Damage: 4 (+ 5 if ally is adjacent, dunno if anyone is)

It was also at this moment that Alton really wishes he knew how to Disengage after attacking... (since Cunning Action is level 2 and we ain't there yet lol) 

Dale decides to Rage (last time before a long rest), and then attacks Goblin 1 who attacked Symon

Attack: 18 Damage: 16

"Dirty Goblins! Try and get them away from Sildar!" Dale calls to the others

Darius locked eyes with his target--the little bastard that had shot him. With nothing more than a sneer, he raced up the stairs after him, fully determined to make the creature pay.
