Evelyn's arrow misses the kenku, and it makes a laughing sound in retaliation. Brunella's feint however, easily distracted it and her sword pierced it's stomach, causing it to sputter and die on her blade
//Next up is Zarrakir, then Crispy, then the Kenku//
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The rest of the party swiftly takes down most of the creatures, leaving just one kenku behind. Zarrakir pulls back on another arrow and steadies his aim. Another deep breath in. Then out and release! May this arrow fly true!
OOC I was looking at the rules on surprise rounds and I don't see anything about granting advantage after all. Sorry for posting misinformation, still new to 5e :)
From what I understand from the rules, if you have surprise, you do gain advantage, because the enemy "can't see you". (Under the section of "unseen attacks")
This is what I understand, so the first surprise round of combat you WOULD have advantage on attacks.
Unless I complete missed something =P you were correct.

//Generally surprise does equal advantage. DM has choice over advantage or not, and sometimes you can even get situational advantage. In my mind, almost any situation where you would surprise an enemy should give you advantage, so I think it makes sense//
The arrow flies past the kenku and bounces off one of the heads of the Tiamat statue. The kenku then sees Crsipy run up and deflects the first swing with it's blade, but then is hit by the second swing, taking a large slice across it's arm. The kenku then swings back in retaliation against Crispy Attack: 11 Damage: 6
//Next is Evelyn, followed by Brunella, Zarrakir, Crispy, and then kenku//

OOC: I'm assuming the kenku is down after that big hit, but if not...
Brunella positions herself opposite Crispy, flanking the Kenku. She makes a clean and simple cut right at it, an action that normally would be easy to evade, but made very difficult to escape due to the rogue's flashing blades.
Evelyn's arrow flies true and lands directly in the kenku's heart, killing it. Combat is now over. The draconic statues still line the walls, and the two large statues are still completely undamaged. Nothing has been moved or hurt in any way.
Now that you are closer, you can see that the plaque on the wall is written in Draconic
OOC: It's Thordain not Thoradin. Just pointing out that there is another person on the forums named Thoradin and ppl have mistakenly mixed us up in PMs and invites, so I want to make sure that doesn't happen. OOC2: Can you join the discord chat? All the others are on it, would be great to have you OOC3: I used shift+enter. That puts in a new line without a gap
OOC given your reaction perhaps you think this is voice chat? It's not. It's just a Web page no different than DDB. You can go to discord.gg and just paste the code I put in pm chat and you'll see. No install of anything, no voice just a Web page
Zarrakir stows his bow. He'll take a good long look at both statues, going from one to the other, and then back to the first. The veteran will scratch his chin, narrowing his gaze at them, and then turn his attention to the plaque. Zarrakir leans in, reading over it carefully. Then again, and again! Finally, he stands back up, stretching out his back. "Nope, I've got nothing!"
The statues are very ornate, and you think that they could catch a good price. There are 10 statues on the left side, and 10 on the right, and then the two large ones in the back

Longbow: Attack: 10 Damage: 9
OOC: It, in fact, did not fly true
Time to take out that last Kenku!
Attack: 22 Damage: 9
Attack: 20 Damage: 2

Evelyn aims at the Kenku, trying to find its weak spot. She steadies her breathing and takes a shot.
Attack: 12
Damage: 10 (+ Colossus Slayer: 4 )

Evelyn examines the plaque written in a strange language.
"Does anyone here know what this says?"
Brunella shrugs. This looks like gobbledygook to her.

Crispy can't read Draconic, so she starts to clean her short swords.
Also, Thoradin, how do you eliminate the space gaps in your "signature" area?

Evelyn lets out a 'hmm' and begins to examine the statues that the goblins were messing with.
Investigation: 6

Evelyn shrugs and walks over to the bodies of the goblins and kenku to begin looting them.
