Between the two creatures you fine 50 gold pieces, but nothing else of value.
Retracing your steps you then begin the climb up the path following the side of the mountain. The footing is uneven and cliffs to either side leave you with only a little room to maneuver. You continue to ascent for an hour and half before seeing up ahead a hole opening into the side of the cliff.
A large statue stands at the north side of the entrance. A dwarf towering 9' in height looking out over the canyon. One arm is missing from the statue. The other arm is curved downward where a great dwarven axe is held, head of the axe resting on the ground. On the south side of the entrance are two stumps to what was presumably once a similar statue. The statues has dark splotches covering it from top to bottom.
The hole itself looks to be rough hewn stone. A pair of doors probably once closed over this entryway, but they have long since been smashed or removed.

Standing in front of the opening you can see that the statue is very weather worn, much of the detail that was once there blasted away by the winds. The face and beard of the dwarf has been smeared with fecal matter and who knows what else.
With sword glowing softly Alma leads the way into the opening. An unpleasant smell comes from within, unwashed bodies and traces of something more foul. The walls are of worked stone, though showing a little wear for age. Bits and pieces of trash and the bones of small animals are present on the floor. The ceiling is vaulted, rising a good 15' feet overhead.
The passage heads east for about 60' before coming to a intersection splitting north and south. To the north, along the east wall you can see a large set of stone double doors.
Alma and Irina what would you like to do with your horses. They are a bit skittish about coming into the area.
GM Ascension |
Following the passage northward you come to the double doors. They nearly reach to the ceiling. The doors are engraved pictures representative of dwarven greatness. Large stone rings on doors rest at about two and a half feet in height and if not for the garbage and trash pushed aside you would not be able to see the path the doors follow as they open outward.
The passage continues on northward into the darkness.
I should get init rolls from everyone before you running into something dangerous :)

Alma finishes opening the door, and he charges the one directly in front of him.
Power attack Long Sword attack: 1d20 + 7 - 1 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 7 - 1 - 1 = 21

Going to assume this time that Alma gave some warning before charging in so Irina and Markov could drink their potions.
This is a surprise round so only a single action is aloud - using Alma's charge to hit one goblin only - can't cleave and use a charge action in the same round even in a full round.
Alma rushes into the room, taking the light with him, stabbing the first goblin in the chest just as it stands up and turns around. It still stands, but its knees tremble weakly.
Upon entering the room in full you can see four ever burning torches, one in each corner, are providing light to the room. At the back of the room is a dais, littered with filth and garbage. The goblins were playing a game of dice, but coins are scattered across the floor as they rise from their crouched positions. Two hounds with rat like faces are also in the room, the hair on their bodies thin and wispy. Where you can see the skin through the hair it is blotchy. They immediately take up barking loudly, which comes out half as a bark, and half almost like a cough.
There are no visible exits from the room other than the one you entered by.
Markov and Irina may each act in the surprise round if they wish, taking a single action each. Then the party may all act in the full round action.

Alma swings and attempts to cleave. The primary target being the same as the last round.

The twin flashes of fire are followed by howls.
Alma drops another goblin, but the hound evades his swing.
Warren is up, then the goblins.
TowerOfTheHeavens |
Warren inflicts a grave wound on his target, who quickly withdraws from the fight. The remainder continue attacking, moving into flanking positions and cutting off Markov and Irina from entering further into the room.
