Anya follows along quietly, more interested in the bone scroll than in their surroundings or the double-doors ahead.
Luralee opens the door and darkness again beckons beyond.
She does make out a pair of goblins here, one standing sentry and the other sitting on some stairs moving up into the tower.
They shout a few short phrases in the goblin tongue and spring into action. One runs up the stairs, the other attacks Luralee with a dogslicer but misses in its haste.

Ilarien steps up, swinging her axe in a whistling arc that narrowly misses the goblin.

Davorin moves back to make room for the others and screeches loudly at the goblin.

Luralee steps up and attacks the goblin with her scimitar...

Gneau moves into the room, right past the goblin (risking an aoo) and strikes at the the little green guy if he's still up... if not, he'll just move into the room and give it a quick search.

The goblin sentry holds its head in pain after Davorin casts his spell. While it is distracted, Luralee brings it down with her scimitar.
Gneau moves into the room and sees stairs circling up to the right and can hear the other goblin's feet running up the stairs, a warning ringing out in the goblin tongue.

Anya curses quietly and moves into the room with the rest of the party.

"Well, if they didn't before, they know we're coming now."
3.1
Sara moves into the room and seeing the immediate threat having been neutralised, readies her weapon and looks around in case anymore goblins appear...
The group hears the pitter-patter of goblin feat moving up the stairs, then the pounding on a door. After that, all is quiet.
Going out of initiative for the moment...no current threats.
Female Elf Wizard (diviner) 2
"Well, they know we're here, " Anya notes with a touch of chagrin. "I wonder how many of them are up there? "
The elven diviner goes to cautiously inspect the room to the south from outside the room.

"Can we block this door with something? Then we can finish cleaning out down here without being disturbed."
Female Half Orc Druid 6 | Ranger2 (HP:61/61)(AC: 21 FF: 19T: 14)(F: +14/ R: +11 W: +12)(Init: +3)(Perception: +9)
"We can grab some of the tables from the other room to block door." Luralee suggests.
3.1
"Yes, lets do that. Wouldn't want one of those sneaky critters jumping out at us when we least expect it Sara moves to grab a table to barricade the door.

"Good idea."
Davorin helps Sara with the tables.

Gneau assists as much as he can, shoring up the table barricades with miscellaneous smaller pieces of furniture like chairs, just to make it more secure.
The group makes a barricade of tables and chairs. However, the ceilings in the tower are tall, and the obstacles would not stop a determined enemy for too long.
Still, it seems it would cause some noise to move.

"Well, let's hurry up and clear out the ground floor before whatever reinforcements rush down the stairs. There's a door over there..."
Davorin moves over and opens the door in the western wall.

Luralee follows the Skald
3.1
Sara readies her torch and dagger and also follows Davorin and Luralee's lead

Ilarien retrieves her crossbow and stomps along after the others.
Leaving the goblin that had run upstairs behind a thick barricade of furniture, the group opens the doors to the west.
Davorin opens the door to the west. This room is full to bursting with a motley collection of cots and other furniture cobbled from scraps of wood and cloth. The stench of rotting food is overpowering. Doors lead to the north.
This appears to be some sort of bunk room, but it is not presently inhabited.

"Let's try the tunnel before we move on."
3.1
Sara searches through the bunk room and peeks through the door at the other end of the room
perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Sara doesn't find anything of value in the bunk room.
Ilarien investigates the tunnel, and finds that it quickly ends in a cleverly concealed secret door to the outside.

The dwarf emerges from the tunnel and heads over to back up Sara. "It was a back door. Useful, that."
3.1
Sara opens the door at the end of the bunk room
Sara finds the mirror image of the room they had previously found two goblins in. It appears to be a continuation of the guard room on the other side, but no guards are present.

Luralee follows the two and stands next to Sara with her shield and scimitar ready for when the human opens the next door.
F Human Witch/6 HP 39/39 AC16/T 12/FF 14 Fort +4/Ref +4/ Will +5 Init +4 Perc +2|Sense Motive +0|Active conditions: none
Luralee, I think that door already had been opened.
Ilarien plods past the two in the front, muttering curses at the goblins for leaving the place so cluttered.
Female Half Orc Druid 6 | Ranger2 (HP:61/61)(AC: 21 FF: 19T: 14)(F: +14/ R: +11 W: +12)(Init: +3)(Perception: +9)
none of the PbP games i run/playing are updating atm. Is this the same for others? Just curious.
If the door is already open then Luralee will stride through and check out the next room.
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Luralee tries the next door she finds, but it seems to be locked tightly.
Yes, no games are updating with new posts.
Female Elf Wizard (diviner) 2
Anya follows along quietly, hazarding glances and quick looks at the scroll they found.
3.1
Sara looks around and takes a step back before giving the door a kick
strength check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Davorin digs out a crowbar from his backpack.
"Perhaps this'll help.
Strength: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7
"Or not..."
Female Half Orc Druid 6 | Ranger2 (HP:61/61)(AC: 21 FF: 19T: 14)(F: +14/ R: +11 W: +12)(Init: +3)(Perception: +9)
Luralee tries to force the door open as well...
STR: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
to no avail...
F Human Witch/6 HP 39/39 AC16/T 12/FF 14 Fort +4/Ref +4/ Will +5 Init +4 Perc +2|Sense Motive +0|Active conditions: none
"Let me have a go." Ilarien takes the crowbar from Davorin and applies it to the door.
STR check: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7
Unfortunately, she is exactly as successful as the dhampir.

"Here, let me try. How about give me a hand and work with me folks?"
Gneau takes his turn with the crowbar, hoping for some aid rolls.
str chk: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
3.1
Sara gives a hand to Gneua with the door
strength check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Anya attempts to assist as well, though the willowy elf is of little help.
Aid another (strength check): 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (11) - 2 = 9

Strength aid: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Davorin helps as well.
Female Half Orc Druid 6 | Ranger2 (HP:61/61)(AC: 21 FF: 19T: 14)(F: +14/ R: +11 W: +12)(Init: +3)(Perception: +9)
Luralee takes the crowbar from Gneau and tries to open the door one more time...
STR aid: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 2 = 25
Luralee, with some help from the entire group, finally manages to force the door.
Rows of wooden racks on the walls of this room hold a ramshackle collection of rusty blades, scraps of armor, and warped arrows.
A quick search reveals six small dogslicers and six small horsechoppers in the room.

Gneau checks out the small weapons and realizes he's not proficient with them and leaves them behind with a shrug.

Luralee mutters "Hork strength..." under her breath before entering the goblin armory. She then checks around for anything interesting... Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
3.1
Sara grimaces in disappointment at the poor bounty behind the locked door. "At least there weren't an army of goblins waiting for us...let's check the other areas now"
The door straight across the hallway is easily opened, revealing a set of stairs descending into the center of the dark tower. not applicable for this scenario.

"Looks interesting, but we're not ready for that. Best to finish off the goblins and fortify the surface so we can advance with our backtrail secure."
And by "we" and "our" I mostly mean "you" and "your," because I've already played the second through fifth levels.
3.1
Sara moves back to where the barricade was stacked "Well, guess there's only one more place left to check..."
