Duncan not the Most agile dwarf there was attempts to cross.
Shinon gasps and falls back into the pit, re-emerging and gasping for air, choking on the slime and muck and...other stuff.
Fortitude Save:
Climb Check:
Oh Goddess please give us the strengthto continue our mission! Is their anyplace where we can secure a rope?
Duncan steadies himself, arms out to the sides, slowly tiptoeing forward till he finally makes it to the other side...safely.
Andrea your perception check realizes that you have a dwarf you can tie a rope to.
Shinon one more Fortitued DC 12 save at a +4, since you now know to close your eyes and mouth as you are climbing.
Rope? Rope? I am afriad I didn't buy one. Errr.. It seems that Shinon has the only rope...the poo covered slippery rope..
The boy tries to jump the trench.
Edit: There is a splash.
Shinon frees himself from the degradation once more, and feels his cheeks burn as he watches the group observe his failed attempts to climb to cleanliness. Glaring at the wall, Shinon cracks his knuckles and seizes one side, gripping it firmly, and then grabs the other side as well, and pulls himself out of the swamp, feeling the disgust and embarrassment pile up.
Fortitude save:
Climb Check:
As Shinon climbs out of the trench, he spins around and reaches out, grabbing Morsino's hand and yanking him out quickly. "Are you alright?"
Reflex save to avoid falling in:
Morsino's save:
He scramble up easily enough.
Remaining members to cross:
Andrea, John, Kenji, Janiven.
Andrea asks Shinon to get out his rope and have Duncan brace, and have Janiven/John brace the other side. Making sure to keep a grip on the robe, Andrea heads across.
Shinon opens his totally-sealed, not at all muck-covered backpack, and pulls out his nice, dry, silk rope. He tosses one end to Janiven across the bridge and ties the other end around his own waist. "Go ahead. We don't have time to waste here." He gives her a reassuring look.
The rope would provide +2 to the check.
Janiven scurries across quickly
"Alright John, Kenji. You guys better hurry up as well. And don't worry about falling in, the water is nice and warm," Shinon said, with a grim face.
Everyone looking down the tunnel in the direction where the goblin ran can make a perception check.
The sad part is that we can't hang around to watch hellknights go poo-diving
I travel with the others keeping my vigil as they search the room. They lead on and though I hear banter, I am unable to make out quite what they found or are even talking about. Then we come to this trench. I watch as the elf falls in and the others crawl across. Mildly amuzed but also disgusted too.
When my turn comes I merely focus and balance across. Once across I look to the others. "So, how much further too safe house?"
John's Contact with the sludge.
Andrea provided a good summary in the discussion. The group opened the door to a store room and found a nesting with a pretty shell and ring, along with a bug collection.
From there you all went up to a sharp right angle bend that had a bit wider ledge, you discvered a goblin's spear and loin cloth. He dived into the sewage which was the big splash some heard. He was swimming, or bathing, when he heard the group's voices. He panicked and took off running.
His mucky tracks crossed a small wooden plank. There Shinon fell in and had a very hard time getting out, the boy Morosino fell in and John fell in.
Those that fell in had to make Fortitude saves, all but John succeeded.
For the most part the group is lost, the tunnel looks like a mirror image to Janiven but everything is opposite from what she remembers, who I have moved into the background so the group makes the decisions.
Basically you all made a wrong turn, or missed, a turn. The Hellknights are somewhere behind you.
Duncan looks to Jenavine.
If you don't know where we're going nomore, lass, I say we take the first exit we find. We can reorientate on the surface and head somewhere safe. Me smithy has clean water and will be closed by now
Now that the group is across the sewage trench, Duncan can see what looks like a 4 and half foot, towered shield propped up against an arch way on his right hand side. There is an outline of a stone archway that is being covered by the shield. The mucky foot prints end there.
Janiven nods her agreement to the dwarf.
Duncan whispers, Ssshh!
Pulling the person behind him down to his level and whispering, Possible goblin hiding in a tunnel on me right. Gonna put me light up.
Not waiting for an acknowledgement, Duncan casts light on the clothes of the person behind and turns to face the shield in the tunnel...
Good morning everyone, we have initiative.

There is a small 10 foot long worked hallway of smooth mason stone that is visably moist with a green fluorescent glow to the walls. The glow casts a soft light increasing vision one step. The hall ends in the middle square of a small room that is 10 foot deep and 15 foot wide. There is an assortment of loose debris in the room, including an overturned desk and four middens of rags and leavy material. The desk is turned over in the middle 5 foot square, and is 5 feet within the room. There is a similar soft glow to the room.
There is a goblin behind the table, which has a slot cut out of the middle and a spear is protruding from the slot. There is a goblin on either side of the table each holding two dogslicers in the non-broken condition.
Action #1: Shinon will draw an arrow and fire it at the closest goblin, but he will choose a goblin who is not within melee combat over closest if possible.
Attack:
Damage:
Action #2: If a goblin gets within melee range of Shinon, he will drop his bow as a free action, draw his longsword as a move action and attack the goblin.
Attack:
Damage:
I move into position so I am at least 20 feet from the nearest goblin and set up a defensive stance. +2 to my AC
If it is too far to get within 20 feet of a gobby in one move action, then I forgo the +2 AC and double move.
As the party moves down the short 10 foot hallway and begins to fan out in the 15 foot wide room, Goblin#3 pokes at the first one down the hall that enters the room.
This attack is against the first one who moves into the room. If nobody moves into the area it will be the dwarf due to his aggressive nature. The party must get through this square in order to fan out.
Kenji 20 feet away from the goblins keeps you out of the room and right at the enterance where the towered shield was located. That shield is now paritially in the trench and off to the side of the opening, where the dwarf tossed it. Technically, you would not be able to observe anything other than the worked glowing hallway and the table that is overturned at the end of the hallway. Given this format, I find it is best to describe the area as completely for the everyone involved to visualize. Rather than piecemeal the scene.
More goblins! I don't know if we can afford to fight with those hellknights on our tail. I don't suppose we could try to terrify the goblins into telling us where a way out is?
Since Andrea is once again stuck behind everyone, she can't do much and says this to Duncan after the goblin's attack. If the group gets mobbed..
1.Sticks her hand around Duncan if possible and does a touch attack on the goblin that attacked him. Bleeding Touch, 1d6 damage. I 1 use used so 5 left.
2. If the goblins stay where they are, Andrea delays.

[dice=Touch attack] 1d20;1d62. If the goblins stay where they are, Andrea delays.
John will put on his tower shield,and will approach the goblin with the tower shield.
From the looks of things all PCs have gone, or are, holding an action.
Duncan will move down the hall, get swung at by Goblin3 who is using a spear from cover. Goblin 3 missed with his spear attack. Duncan will step to his left taking the AOO.
-miss
Duncan takes the second Aoo from the Goblin behind the table:
-miss, Goblin 3 has now used his only Aoo available this round.
Duncan's movement frees up the front space in front of the table for a friend to move into.
At this point, it looks like Andrea has made sure the boy stays outside the tunnel and on the walkway. Holding remainder of action. The boy would never have gone into the hallway and unless you were going to follow second this seemed like the logical interpretation of your action.
John has taken off his tower shield and marched down the hall directly infront of the table, providing cover.
Janiven holds her action and protects the flank and the boy.
Kenji has moved to the entry of the hallway and has held the remainder of his action as he takes a defenseive position.
Shinon has moved down the hallway 5 feet behind the tower shield. He does have a line of sight on Goblin4 and 2. He shoots at goblin 2, but misses with a 10.
Does anyone who has a remaining action care to do anything before the remaining Goblins act?
Current positoning of the PC's party:
Duncan inside the room to the far left directly infront of Goblin4
John inside the room center square, in front of the table and Goblin3
The 5ft sqaure to right is open and there is Goblin2.
end of the hallway looking into the room but behind John is Shinon.
Andrea is behind Shinon and in front of Kenji, unless she and kenji switch positions. It doesn't matter to me. I just want to create the visual picture.
The boy is to Kenji's left
Janiven is to Kenji's right
Bah we kill the vermin and wring the neck of the last to show us out
Duncan trusts in his armor and goes in first. Warhammer leading.
He attacks the goblin to the left holding the dog slicers. The one under the table has concealment so Duncan will take out the flanks first.
As he brains the first gobbo he calls. Drop yer arms an I'll let ye live
"Squ%CLSOMEY&(^," the sweaty little creature belks in his fooul language, as Duncan brains him hard but somehow he is still up, gushing blood.
Tough little bugger ain't ya.
If I can move up and attack a goblin I will. Otherwise I stay put valiantly defending Janiven and Boy.
Attack if possible: For:
'Whelp..skhyt, pffft,' the little beast growls at you as he takes a hit. He swings both of his dog slicers at Kenji.
-looks like this misses yoru AC17
Goblin number one pops up from the sewer and jabs his spear at Janiven
- missing
Round 1 Recap:
Most the items stay as I posted jsut above. Except, kenji did move up and engage in combat with Goblin2 inside the room.
From left to right:
Duncan, John, Kenji
Shinon is behind John
Andrea is behnd Shinon
janiven and the boy are outside and there is Goblin1 as popped out of the sewage.

Andrea spins at the sound of the group being attacked and steps out to glare at the sewage diving creature.
Die in the muck you love so much!
Hand of Acolyte attack. 3 used for day, 3 left.
John pulls out his longsword and attacks the goblin he moved to.
I struck the gobbo with a furious jab as I moved in only to just dodge an incoming attack from the second. I then unleash my fists of furry on the fresh one.
Attack 1: For:
Attack 2: For:
If the fresh gob dies before my turn, I aim my attacks at the one I hit last turn.
If that one is dead I return to Janiven and the boy.
Duncan weave his heavy hammer as through it were a feather and attempts to bullrush his goblin (the one carrying the dogslicers) into the wall to knock him prone.
