“I’ll follow close behind about 10 feet.” Jasper tells Zal as he follows him through the entrance. Jasper looks to the others and says, “stay close behind. We have to be ready for anything.”

Thili will take up the rear but, since she doesn't have any long-range attacks pipes up to say, "I'd be happy to go ahead of you, Jasper, and follow behind Zal, but I'm happy to defend our back, should we need it."

initiative: 21

stealth w/ disadvantage: 13

“I’m good with that Thili. I’ll take up position behind Sechirehime.  Take this. I think it’s a stink bomb.” Jasper hands over a vial of smelly liquid to Thili. 

Party Order: Zalmanni, Mika (by default), Sechirehime, Jasper, Thili 

(Jasper casts Eyes of Night on Mika to assist her in being able to see in the dark. The party goes down the dark staircase, trying to be stealthy, some succeeding and others doing just ok. Everyone turns and stands in front of a long corridor.  Zalmanni scouts ahead, checking for traps and finds nothing.

At the end of the dark corridor you all see a slight light source.  Note: The dash lines are your line of sight.)

(You all see 3 Goblins in the distance, sitting around a big, brass brazier. They seem to be preoccupied with cooking their dinner, not paying much attention, but they are about 120 feet away. The room itself is lit by the fire in the brazier, but the corridor is somewhat dark, providing you all some cover, but not completely. The closer you get to the entrance, the more likely you'll be noticed. )

What do you all do?

DM's note: The corridor is about 60 feet long, narrow, and the distance from the end of the corridor to the Goblins appears to be another 60 feet. If you all want to go past the opening of the corridor, you'll have to roll a Stealth Check. If you all decide to attack only the person in front, Zalmanni, would get a surprise round.

OOC: I suggest having the party hold here ready to rush in while Zal scouts forward trying to see more of the room while remaining in the hallway. Thoughts?

OOC>>> I’m good with that. If you can get the surprise on them we can definitely rush in on the next round. Maybe if you can get to the upper left, we can go to the opposite to flank them. 

OOC: After Zal scouts, and we’re ready to make our move, we could toss the stink bomb to see if it incapacitates them or gives us an advantage. 

OCC>>> Where should we throw the stink bomb? Far right?

OOC: sure

OOC>>> maybe throw it at the brazier so what ever it does, it covers the area where the goblins are.  That way they are distracted enough for us to get into position. Since you have surprise, you could throw the stink bomb and get into position to the north. Maybe the rest of us will have advantage if they are distracted by stink bomb, On the next round we can go south to get into position.

OOC: sounds good... with my luck the stink bomb will turn into a fire ball due to the brazier.... so I’ll toss it from what I think is a safe distance from its effects in case it does. 

If Thili, Sechirehime and Mika are good with it, we’ll proceed with that plan. 

DMs note: Zalmanni, your original roll was to check for traps and stuff, if you want to Investigate the room please roll another check.

ooc: sounds like a good plan to me!

OOC: MY BAD- I AM OKAY WITH THE PLAN X'D i am so sorry with being slight inactivity since i am dum dum on how to do stuffs ;;v;;)"

Investigation (room): 13

huh? “Dice rolls not yet available for this section?”

nevermind, it fixed itself

Sechirehime nods in agreement with the plan to use the stink bomb, and preemptively covers her nose with her sleeve.

Jasper moves up slowly behind Zal about 20 feet trying not to be seen.

Stealth with disadvantage. 9

Jasper helps investigate the corridor walls and floor.

investigation. 8

(Zalmanni takes a quick glance around the room. The three Goblins appear to just be relaxing and having a meal, not talking much.

Jasper sneaks up the corridor as well, being very careful to not let his armor give him away. He also takes a look around the room, but sees something Zalmanni may have missed.)

Spoiler for Jasper: 

What do you all do?

Zal looks back to see if everyone is in place and ready.
