//blasted armour!//
You don't see any goblins in your vicinity, at the moment.
To the left of you is a quiet graveyard, and ahead of you is a building easily identifiable as the Nightstone Inn, owned and operated by Morak the dwarf. However, it appeared as if he wouldn't be doing any more operating until the two gaping holes were repaired, one on the north side and one on the south side, both resulting from something large and heavy falling through the roof.
The tavern door is open, and the sign that reads "Nightstone Inn" is swaying in the breeze.
// I've unequipped the shield on Flint's character sheet, AC w/o shield is 16 //
Gotcha, thanks. Just waiting for Rip, and then if the four of you could tell me what your character is planning on doing in the first round, we'll get things rolling :)
So far the initiative order is 1 goblin, Jorji, Seviari, Flint, and 1 goblin.
Positioning: Flint is inside the back bedroom, Rip and Seviari are at the door, and Jorji can choose to be anywhere in the main room of the temple (from the from door to the back bedroom door near Rip and Sev).
Solace will go towards the inn trying to be slealthy *crosses fingers* 6 readying her longsword as she moves.
*clank, clank, clank!*
Solace quietly enters the Inn through the open door, which catches a gust of wind suddenly and slams against her armor. There is a large *CRASH* from the far left, in the pantry area, and then silence.
An initial glance at this dining room area provides Solace with some information: the area is strewn with wreckage. A giant rock has fallen through the roof of the establishment, and through the second-story floor, before it punched through a dining table and a pair of long benches and embedded itself in the wooden floor at the south end of the dining room (to Solace's right) Two smaller round tables remain intact, as do several chairs. An unlit oil lamp rests on each small table.
Lying in the middle of the floor to Solace's left, a crossbow bolt sticking out of his chest, is a dead goblin.
What's left of the dining room is 30' wide by 30' long, interrupted by a staircase towards the Northeast, and an open door leads to the kitchen and pantry area where there had been a great clatter a moment ago.
On his turn, Flint will rush across the room, hitting a goblin with his Warhammer along the way and grab the rope to continue ringing the bell. Attack: 13 damage: 3
Solace will go to the kitchen and pantry slealth 4, cautiously perception 7, and looking around investigation 21
OOC: Tymora, ANY TIME now, where is the luck!! Oh! Nat 20 on investigation!
Investigation: The thing that stands out most to you here is the dead goblin in the middle of the floor. It's a fresh kill, probably from less than 10 minutes ago. The goblin had no weapon in its hands, and had been carrying a bag full of spoils—he hasn't expected to get shot. The crossbow bolt protruded from his chest at an upward angle.
As you ponder these things, you see a small female goblin appears in the doorway of the pantry, dragging a large sack behind her. It gets stuck momentarily on the threshold, and she pulls and grunts, changing her grip several times in vain.
// Hahaha! No surprise, I'll give Flint Inspiration for that :) It's clobbering time!//
The goblins cry out in indignation at this smelly dwarf coming in to ruin their fun, and brandish their scimitars.
Initiative (Beedo): 15
Initiative (Vark): 9
Rip and Seviari can roll Initiative with Advantage, since they braved a look ahead and almost pulled off being sneaky.
The rest of you that were inside the temple immediately understand what's up, and roll Initiative as normal.
If anyone is still outside the temple, your only clue will be the bell's ringing slowly dying down. Roll initiative with Disadvantage.

Solace hears some commotion in the Inn, just about 20 feet from where she stands. Sounds like clattering dishes and cutlery.

On his turn, Flint will rush across the room, hitting a goblin with his Warhammer along the way and grab the rope to continue ringing the bell. Attack: 13 damage: 3
The goblin only snarled in response to Rip's insults, "Beedo rings anything Beedo likes!" and leaped to attack Flint.
