Horster hurts the goblin, who swings before going down.
vs Horster: 2d20 ⇒ (2, 6) = 8

The party finishes off the lone goblin and settle down to see if the goblins have anything of value.
COMBAT OVER---VICTORY!!! ANYONE APPRAISING NEEDS TO MAKE TWO APPRAISE CHECKS LABELED ONE AND TWO

The ogre has a sack with 250gp!

The goblins between them have silver/copperx10: 12d4 ⇒ (2, 1, 4, 3, 1, 3, 4, 4, 3, 1, 4, 1) = 3112d4 ⇒ (2, 1, 3, 2, 4, 2, 1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1) = 22
31sp and 220cp and carry 12 crude small shortswords and 12 crude shortbows with 64 arrows

Morgan/Horster: 2d20 ⇒ (11, 5) = 16
Morgan, experienced in tracking, follows the ogre treads through a SECRET DOOR! in the NW part of this room to his lair!!
The ogre sat here on top of a great leather bag. In this
bag are seven large sacks which contain:
#1: 287 silver pieces; #2: a hard cheese; #3: 182 copper
pieces and 91 electrum pieces; #4: 289 gold pieces; #5:
a keg of brandy (

Morgan points out the ogre lair leads out to the hillside in a covered stand of trees. A good spot to look at the entire hillside while under concealement!! No other activity is spotted at this time.

TREASURE!!!! That is how it is supposed to happen!

appraise ONE: 1d20 ⇒ 17
appraise TWO: 1d20 ⇒ 18
Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Shuffling through the seventh sack, Kelgan grins at the glint of gold. He picks up a coin, brushes it on his sleeve, and bites down on it. His eyebrows know together in vexation as he pulls the coin out and spits violetnly.

Staring at the coin, he snarls "Gilded lead! The big brainless oaf was either planning on cheating someone, or let himself be cheated by the gobbos!"

He shuffles through the bag, scratching a few more of the false coins with his dagger, his expression settling into one of disgusted disappointment.

"Bet they're only worth about a copper each. Hrmf."

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Horster's nosey side takes over as he pokes around the southern side of the cave. Under a heap of bones, he finds 6 arrows that look out of the ordinary, a potion and a scroll that he hands over to M'til and Theorn, trusting their deeper knowledge of arcana.

Horster finds:

• 6 magic arrows +1
  
• a potion of invisibility
  
• a magic scroll with 2 cleric spells - cure light wounds (CL1),
  hold person (CL3)

Crom cleans the blood from his blade. "Laddies, now that's what we came for. Let's clear the rest of the cave before we start counting our gold."

Perception:1d20 ⇒ 15

The mage concentrates and is unable to find any other auras nearby, but reveals the nature of the potion and the minor enchantment on the arrows. 2d20 ⇒ (15, 17) = 32

The six magic arrows are medium, the goblins have small arrow. Any healing before continuing?

Looking at the stat blocks you all look good on HP ...

"Well that went well ... so what was the problem you all had with the orcs?"

"A lot of things went wrong in that fight. The orcs snuck up on us while the group was arguing about how best to attack them. The were big, strong, and fierce. Even a killing blow didn't stop them immediately. But even with that going against us, we could have prevailed. Except...it was like we were cursed. It was as if Lady Luck had foresaken us."

"Indeed! My magics could not take hold on even the lesser of the creatures. And then the Bear Orc...." Ozmund shutters at the memory of the orc clan's leader.

"Well, where to next?", says Horster, while pocketing some of the small arrows. "Are we hunting orc now?"

Horster adds 22 arrows to his equipment.

"This was a very small number of goblins. They breed like rats. There are probably more of them back in the cave. They will hide until we seem convinced that they are all dead, and then attack us while our guard is down."

Crom nods at Morgan, "There's a goblin chief also, I'm sure. Let's get back into formation and finish the job. Bree-yark, you little buggers!"

Proceed down the western passage?

"Aye, I hate to leave unexplored halls at my back. I'm with Crom, lets look to the West"

Shall Crom and Kelgan take up position in EW116 and 117?

"Agreed, off to the west we go!"

Crom should be injured. 5hp at least I saw.

The group heads west and sees two dead ends, one south and one west as the passage turns north to hook up with a large room to the west. As the party approaches, Morgan sees quite a few goblin tracks heading up the north passage.

goblin stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 for Crom

As the group heads west and looks into the northern passage the goblins try to stay hidden.
