Taking her bow Elektra tries to return the favor. One of the free gobbos.
Lyr watches the lightning arc go wide and tries again, but it appears she overcorrected.
Garrath feels the stings of the arrows and roars throwing his head back. The veins on his neck and arms stand out and an inner fire burns in his eyes as he surges forward, swinging his Falchion at the goblin.
"Clear the one off the table, open a path for me!
Shalelu moves behind the big Barbarian, and takes careful aim at a pathetic excuse of a creature gleefully hopping around on a table flinging arrows as though it knows what it is doing.
Shalelu smiles as she sticks the little runt.
As Garrath with this huge Falchion squishes a Gob into a pile of goo and Shalelu drops another dancing on a table, the Goblin in front of Brandark has a moment of recognition:
The Goblin (5) drops the shard of glass in his hand to a crash on the floor and begins to run in panic.
The rest of the Goblins flee from the room at break-neck speed out the double doors on the northern most wall.
End Round Two
After Brandark and Garrath demolish the goblin Kelvin, longbow in hand moves to the double doors that the goblins fled thru and looks at the room(s?) beyond.
Brandark grins as the goblin in front says something unitelligable, and then attempts to hack it down as it attempts to run.
Thats right, run you little rodents
[dice=Perception]d20+6
After Brandark and Garrath demolish the goblin Kelvin, longbow in hand moves to the double doors that the goblins fled thru and looks at the room(s?) beyond.
"Not so fast, runt!
As the last of the goblins runs out of the room. Do we want to keep any alive for questioning? Brandark indicates the 3 goblins that are still weakly breathing.
With all signs of combatants gone, Garrath takes a few deep breaths, and the rage seems to subside, leaving the Shoanti winded.
Walking forward Elektra steps on a bench, bow in hand and looks down the hall, searching Ameiko. "This was a setup.. I think. From the same culprit. Where is Ameiko?"
Garrath makes another mess of Goblin goo on the floor.
Kelvin heads down to the end of this long room and checks beyond the door.
A wheelbarrow sits against a wall here, and shelves on the walls contain additional reagents to create different colors of glass. A safe on the floor hangs open and is empty. There are several doors off of this room. Only one door is open.
Brandark looks over at Elektra Aye, it was a setup. Looks like we will have to ask one of our little friends here where Ameiko is indicating the out cold goblins.
Or do you suggest that we take their ears, and then look the hard way?
Brandark takes a solid look around the room while healing is done.
After Lyr has cured the wounded Elektra is ready to continue searching the glassworks.
Kelvin sees the open door, stealthily moves towards it and listens at it but not exposing himself to anyone or anything that might still be there. He then moves back to the big room to report what he has heard.
Kelvin looks past the open doors and sees stairs heading down. At present, he doesn't hear anything.
Shalelu moves to a defensive position on the north side of the room. She stays ready with an arrow notched on her bow.
After hearing nothing from down the stairs, Kelvin reports back. "There are four doors past the double doors, one leaves the building and one that was open. The open one leads to some stairs going down. I am loath to head down without first making sure that no creatures are still on this floor, but I will go with what the consensus is."
Brandark looks over at Kelvin I agree, we should ensure that Ameiko is not on this floor before going down. Which way does the door down go?
Shalelu goes out in to the room with the reagents and studies the floor.
Shalelu will tell the party the Goblins that just left this main room of the Glassworks headed down the stairs. Tracks to the other doors are at least a day if not older.
Brandark looks over at Kelvin I agree, we should ensure that Ameiko is not on this floor before going down. Which way does the door down go?
Kelvin, Lady Shalelu, can you keep an eye on the stairs or figure a way to jam the door so it makes noise if someone tries to force it.
While they are doing that, and if no one objects, Brandark will Coup de Gras the still breathing, but bleeding goblins.
After cleaning his axe, Brandark says Shall we see what is on the rest of this floor, before we go down ?
Garrath tears strips from his cloak and plugs the holes left by arrows and the cuts made from flung glass. "We should not take long. If the goblins have gone down, chances are that is where we will find Ameiko. I will not see her share the fate of her father."
Brandark looks over at Garrath I agree and don't wish to see her in their hands any longer than necessary. however, I would rather not have any goblins that still live up here, coming on us from behind while we try to find her.
Lyr brings the injured to her, quickly moving any goblin bodies away from them, then gives two blasts of channeled energy.
She looks Garrath over--being as he was the one who took the most damage--then nods. That should do. Let's go. Lyr follows the group to the stairs, and when they're ready begins to head down.
Shalelu carefully moves to the edge of the stairs and peaks around the corner looking down. She then returns to the party, "Nothing but darkness down those stairs. Goblins see well in total darkness. We need to be careful."
Darkness means nothing to me. But if you need light. at which point he pulls a lantern out of his pack. Who wishes to carry it?
"Not I" Kelvin says, pointing at the lantern. "It seems that the consensus is to go down, so let's go." Switching weapons to his rapier, Kelvin then moves down the stairs into the dark trusting that someone will hold the lantern, and depending on his enhanced low-light vision to allow him to see enough to not be surprised.
Brandarks vision swims and snaps into focus in greys and whites
As I can see in total dark, I will lead, and let someone else carry the lantern With that, Brandark hefts his trusty axe, and sheild, and proceeds down the stairs.
Lyr laughs at the lantern. We don't need that, she says, touching the blade on her glaive. She mutters a prayer and suddenly it bursts with light. Let's go.
As you take your light into the darkness below, the remaining Goblins have been positioned by a Half-Elf bent on malice leading them.
When the Half-Elf sees the light descending and can make out the first to make it down the stairs:
Surprise Round
Seeing the goblins tightly packed Elektra grabs some butter from here pouch and weaves a quick incantation "The grandmaster once wrote who can´t stand... can´t fight!"
The Goblins open up with a volley of arrows against the armored Dwarf.
Round One
Garrath moves up to the corner, out of sight of the bows, pulling out his new hammer as he goes with a wicked grin. He swings the hammer in an arc at the closest goblin (goblin 10).
The area behind Garrath to the east is strewn with broken bricks scattered about. It looks like a bricked up wall had been torn down.
Elektra moves a bit closer in the surprise round and another bit closer and then, in range casts grease.
Moving down the stairs to where he can see the lead goblin, Kelvin shoots an arrow at it and the arrow bounces off the ceiling.
Brandark Grimaces as 2 arrows drive into the front of his shield, and 2 go past the shield into his leg. Little goblin we are here for you again.
He then moves 5 feet into contact with goblin 10 and attempts to remove its head.
Only to miss as the Goblin sways back out of the path of the axe.
The area behind Garrath to the east is strewn with broken bricks scattered about. It looks like a bricked up wall had been torn down.
The Half-Elf seeing the assault on his Goblins, takes aim at the Dwarf as he reaches the bottom of the stairs.
The Half-Elf slips in the Grease and is now Prone.
Two of the Goblins slip and fall along with the Half-Elf.
Watching Brandark get pummeled, Lyr steps forward, laying hey hands on the dwarf.
