Talwin watchesddd the goblins run, and sighs.

"Let them go. I hate to set them free on the countryside, but we aren't in shape to fight them now."

Talwin will cast stabilize on Ebon this turn, just as precaution. He can never tell just how severe the Shoanti's wounds are.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Targost will take a parting shot at the red goblin before it gets away (if possible..otherwise whatever goblin is still within range, if any)

Attack-ranged: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Well that was a moot point..lol

Ok, people! Heal up and go on! (Or heal up and look around for treasure...)

No need for stabilize. Raging done.
" Yes. Let the little fellows go. They have definitely earned their freedom."

With everyone hurt at least a little besides Alexia Ebon will channel energy.
" Lord of Iron! Mend your weapons..."
channel: 1d6 ⇒ 6
then since he is the only one still hurt will top himself off with his wand, while waiting for his rage fatigue to go away.

CLW wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
CLW wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
CLW wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
CLW wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
CLW wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
CLW wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Feel free to search whilst I do this...

Talwin nods at the warrior in thanks as the healing energy restores him. Then he gathers up his dropped gear and looks around the room where the goblins were trapped.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

Targost also thanks the barbarian and feels much better. He also searches the room the goblins recently vacated.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

You don't find anything in the cellblock.

Talwin inspects the next door for danger. If it looks safe he opens it but will not go through.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

After he feels less fatigued, Ebon will move around and pick up his Earthbreaker. Again carrying over his shoulder he follows the others around.
So we searched the cellblock. There is still the double doors out of the pool room or the stairs from the jail...

Hint: You didn't search the pool and you didn't search the goblin bodies

Talwin inspects the next door for danger. If it looks safe he opens it but will not go through.

This chamber might have once been some sort of study, but it has fallen into ruin. The entire northeast corner of the chamber has collapsed, apparently because of some sort of drilling machine that emerged from the southwest corner and is now half-buried under the rubble to the northeast. The debris-choked tunnel from which it emerged is plainly visible. Wooden doors lie to both the south and west.

Thanks for the tip!

Talwin doubles back to search the two bodies and to take a closer look in the pool where the ooze had been.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

One of the goblins has a little leather pouch with some money and a human finger still wearing a expensive ring worth 200 gp.

In the middle of the mosaic on the bottom of the pool there's a pearl. It actually radiates magic (pearl of power level 1).

"Good thinking Talwin!", Targost says as the Inquisitor reveals what he had found.

"Indeed. Why don't you take the pearl. I'll carry the ring to return to the Society. But now we have several paths open to us. Which way should we try first? I vote for the farthest passage for now."

Hunh. Never woulda thought to look in the water...
Shrugging Ebon turns and looks at Talwin.
" Works for me! Nice find by the way.."
Again gripping his maul and placing it over his shoulder he prepares to lead in the direction that his companion indicated...

Just from a game standpoint, Talwin cannot use the pearl as he does not prepare spells. Ebon might be a better candidate for it.

Looking over the pearl, Targost realizes that it is not something he can attune to, so instead hands it to Ebon.
"Perhaps you can benefit from this item as it seems to not react to me touch"

Ebon eyes the pearl for a moment then puts it in his pouch.
" Ok. Not sure how it works, but ...OK."
Smiling he grips his Earthbreaker and heads forth.
" Let's go..."

Here's the description of the topright room again:

This chamber might have once been some sort of study, but it has fallen into ruin. The entire northeast corner of the chamber has collapsed, apparently because of some sort of drilling machine that emerged from the southwest corner and is now half-buried under the rubble to the northeast. The debris-choked tunnel from which it emerged is plainly visible. Wooden doors lie to both the south and west.

Talwin motions for the others to follow, then points his light down the drilled out tunnel. He will advance slowly, halting at the first sign of danger ahead.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

Targost follows Talwin down the tunnel, but also takes a quick look at the machine which made this hole.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

As Targost moves towards the machine, suddenly a hulking, roughly humanoid creature of dirt and stone explodes up from the earth, faceless save for two glowing gemstone eyes.

It attacks immediately To Hit: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20 and hits Targost for damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Initiative

Stone man: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (10) - 1 = 9
Alexia: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Targost: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Ebon: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Talwin: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Turn order:

Alexia
Talwin
Stone Man

Talwin looks at the creatures and tries to determine what it is.

Knowledge Planes: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Talwin looks at the creatures and tries to determine what it is.

[dice=Knowledge Planes]1d20+8

It looks (and feels!) like a create made of rock and earth, but you're not entirely sure what it is.

Unsure of the creature's nature, but seeing his friend in danger, Talwin rushes over and tries to defeat the creature!

Cold Iron Longspear: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Ghosting Alexia

Knowledge (planes): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22

Alexia: "It's an Earth Elemental. They hit like a ton of bricks!"

Alexia will use her wand to cure some of Targost's damage clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

The earth elemental steps towards Targost and with a mighty swing tries to hit Targost.

Power attack, Cleave

To Hit: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 9 - 2 + 1 = 19 hits for damage: 1d8 + 7 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 6 = 14

The blow downs the poor sorcerer and continues towards Talwin!

To Hit: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 9 - 2 + 1 = 17 misses!

Did my attack hit/hurt it at all?

Yes it did!

Targost is down with -6hp

Targost is down with -6hp

Maybe Ebon will fix that before your initiative is up!

Ghosting Ebon

Ebon will convert one of his 1st level spells to a CLW and then move and deliver it to Targost. CLW: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Thanks for the healing...poor Targost is taking a beating this time round :-)

The play of wound and healing on the half-elf sends an electric surge through his body. He extends his hand and a jet of acid shoots from it towards the stone behemoth.

Attack-ranged touch: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

He then moves back away from the monster

This will provoke and the AoO will probably kill you, so I'd advice you to do something else like play dead!

awww crap..ok then, I will play possum and just lie here...I hope it does not step on me!!!

The earth elemenal attacks Ebon To Hit: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 1 - 2 = 9 and misses

Talwin steps back into positon for another spear jab. He tries to punch through the earthy creature!

Longspear: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

GM, my icon on Roll20 has my HP at 31. I should be at full right now due to Ebon's channel energy earlier. At least until that thing hits me, then who knows!

Sorry for missing my turn. Busy day. XD
" MUD? Now we're attacked by mud and rock. GGarrhh."
He screams as he takes a stand over his fallen comrade and swings at the rock strewn creature.
Attack w/Earthbreaker with broken condition: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 5 - 2 = 23
damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (6, 3) + 4 = 13
threat confirm if needed: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 4 - 2 = 16
crit damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 3) + 4 = 10
Looking at the map, I guess he is standing between Targost and the ?elemental?, not standing over Targost.

Talwin decided not to take the action, but forgot to take back the move on the board

Bot Talwin and Ebon hit and damage the creature!

Ghosting Alexia

Alexia will use her wand of CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 on Talwin again.

The Earth elemental will step towards Alexia and attack her!

attack: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 9 + 1 - 2 = 22 for damage: 1d8 + 7 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 6 = 14

cleave on Ebon
attack: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 9 + 1 - 2 = 28 for damage: 1d8 + 7 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 6 = 21

Could I take a 5' crawl without having an AoO? The once out of reach stand up and rejoin the combat?(moved character on map to show location if this is possible)

Crawling provokes, so no, you can't. :-(

Crawling: You can crawl 5 feet as a move action. Crawling incurs attacks of opportunity from any attackers who threaten you at any point of your crawl. A crawling character is considered prone and must take a move action to stand up, provoking an attack of opportunity.

Talwin thrusts his spear forward again, growing fearful of the elemental's might!

Longspear: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
Damage?: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Talwin steps 5' back and with a mighty thrust his spear pierces the elemental which falls into rubble.

Victory!
