Scarlet looks over the goblin for potential useful items before he heads to the pit to look down it.
His shoulder almost entirely healed, Brunner Nods politely to the elf, "Thenk ye lanliss, an' thenk Desna."
Brunner walks to the edge of the decent. He looks down and sees the bottom of it. It only angles down about 40 feet before it stops. You aren’t sure yet, but there is something possibly familiar about the building structure of this mine.
Scarlet looks over the goblin laying on the ground. He doesn’t have much on him. His short bow is still clenched in his hand, a dagger at his waist, and a quiver of 15 arrows at his waist on the other side.
"I say we try that door."
Satisfied that there was nothing in the pit, Brunner nods in aggreement with Barnabus, "Th' duir it is, 'en." Looking around as he moves near to Barnabus, "Ah cannae pit mah finger oan it, but somethin' abit thes mine feels familiar." He then postitions himself near the door, just in case something pops out, while it's being checked for traps.
Scarlet nods and checks the door for any traps or other noticeable things.
Scarlet checks over the door and finds no detectable traps, you even discover with your probing that it is unlocked. You listed for a moment and you think you can hear minor commotion coming from the other side. It is not loud enough to be clear on what you are hearing.
Scarlet motions that he hears something on the other side. He gets ready to open the door and step aside when everyone is ready.
'I'm glad the boy has reformed, he's a real boon, checking for traps and dealing with locks.' Admiring Scarlet's work, Brunner, hammer and shield in hand, nods his head, Gang aheid laddie, we're ready."
"Here's a surprise for the goblins." Barnabus says to Dalron.
He mutters an arcane phrase and reaches out to touch the arrow the Ranger has readied on his bow, casting Light on it.
Barnabus is full of bright ideas
"If there are more than one I will try and hit the one in the back, so the arrow flies past them."
Dalron takes aim at the door, and give Scarlet a nod.
Scaret reaches out, opens the door, and dodges out of the way.
At the same time Dalron lets loose an arrow that momentarily lights up the room within before sinking into the head of a goblin at the rear of the room. As the room is shortly lit up you see a 20x20 room with an upended table in the middle of the room with one goblin standing behind it. You see a small pool of blood forming off to the side of the table, its safe to assume it is from the goblin Dalron shot.
The part of the room you are standing on is the elevated end of the entry room. This is a 15x15 space with a 5 foot hallway that leads to the door Scarlet just opened.
The light, and sudden death of his friend, seems to have startled the goblin and he briefly forgets what he was going to do.

Seeing his friend get dropped, the goblin snaps back into the plan of attack. He lets loose an arrow from around the side of the table, striking Dalron square in his thigh. A jolt of pain causes Dalron to almost take a knee before righting himself back up. Dalron takes 4 damage.

Evia begins to sing again, her voice filling the caverns, mixing with the howling to produce an odd chorus.
"Now in the mine!
This cannot be the end,
We are here, heartbeats in the dark
Together we push toward this end
For us
Or for them!"
If he has a clear shot from the back of the party, Lanliss shoots at the goblin using what little light there is to guide him.
'Need to get around that table.' Moving past Scarlet, Brunner hustles into the room. Moving to the end of the table he swings his hammer at the archer. "We're nae gonnae lit ye hurt uir... blest! hauld still ye glaikit gobo!" Brunner curses as the goblin easily ducks his hammer
As Brunner charges into the room, two hidden goblins pounce out from around the door and attack him as he runs by...
Both goblins land strong blows on the unaware dwarf. To make matters worse he missed his attack. Dalron lets loose another arrow that drops the one Lanliss previously hit.
Brunner is trapped in the room with the goblins blocking his way out. It’s arguable on who this situation is worse for. Brunner took 7 damage
Barnabus winces as he sees the gits backstab his fellow dwarf.
He flicks a finger at the the one on the left of Brunner and sends a glowing missile of pure force into the backstabber.
Seeing Brunner is in trouble, Scarlet quickly slips up behind the once that just got wounded by Barnabus and tries to slide his blade through his back.
Scarlet moves into the crowded room, but misses his attack. The goblin he attacked snarls and bites out towards him. The two goblins move into position to attack the dwarf that charged into their room.
Two solid attacks that would have hit most people clang off of Brunner armor. Frustrated the goblins snar and look towards the more squishy looking human that just moved into the room.

With a quick glance over his shoulder to make sure there's nothing approaching the party from behind, Lanliss nocks another arrow and fires at one of the goblins attacking Scarlet.
"Ha!" he shouts in triumph.
Lanliss shows his ability as an Elven archer. He truly threaded the needle with this shot. The shot strikes true and drops one of the two remaining goblins.
Scarlet chuckles as Lanliss expertly shoots one of the goblins. He smiles at the remaining goblin, "Ar an delkaan dhuur o duun lhuuc or shuulkakec."
Scarlet thrust his rapier toward the last goblin, hoping to take it out and eliminate the threat to Brunner. But misses horribly.
The bloodied and battered paladin lifts his shield blocking the first attack and the second one fortunately bounces off his breastplate. He spits blood as he says "Praise be tae Torag," turning to the goblin still standing he raises his hammer high, "We offered tae lit th' first gobo surrender but ye wee jimmies arenae gonnae be sae lucky." Swinging it at the goblin he then steps away from it giving the archers a clean shot.
Barnabus throws another force missile at the goblin that Scarlet is dueling.
The goblin is quick enough to dodge out of Brunner’s Warhammer swing and even Scarlets Rapier. But no matter how fast he is able to move he cannot dodge the force missile from Barnabus. It is a strong square hit. Knocking him off balance a bit until he steadied himself against the table.
When he is sure that the goblins have all perished, Lanliss focuses his will into his holy symbol to heal the party. Brunner, Scarlet, and himself all get..
... points of health back.
With the last goblin down, Scarlet sighs with relief. Especially when Lanliss heals everyone. "Thanks Lanliss. My previous wound is healed now and Brunner looks much better now."
Scarlet then goes about searching the goblins and the table.
Dalron destroys the remaining goblin. It was dead before it knew the arrow had sunk into its skin.
Each goblin has similar equipment. 4x leather armor. 4x light wooden shield. 2 short bows. 2 short swords.
As everyone is looking at the dead goblin and healing up the door at the back of the room is kicked in, a javelin is thrown, then taking a step into the room is a bugbear who draws its Morningstar.
The javelin flys pass Barnabus not even close to hitting. He lets out a roar.

Scarlet moves to the right side of the bugbear to put himself in a possible flanking position with someone else. He then thrust his blade toward the bugbear's stomach.
Scarlets hit strikes along its stomach and finds a home between its armor. It lets out a roar and swings down on Scarlet with its Morningstar.
Swinging down it winces from the Rapier wound and misses Scarlet. It takes a step back into the door way trying to protect itself.

Evia continues her song, then drops her rapier and draws out her shortbow. She fires a shot at the creature, trying to thread the arrow in between the furious melee.
Evia fires a shot but it was not able to strike the Bugbear. He lifts his shield up and it sticks into the wood.
"Great Holy Badgers!!!!! That's a big hairy bugger!" Barnabus calls out.
"Take this...." he yells at the bugbear and directs a Ray of Frost into it's face.
As Brunner steps back the goblin dodges Scarlet’s blade but never sees Dalron’s arrow, Lowering his hammer, Brunner nudges the dead Goblin with his boot, ”Braw shootin' Dalron.” As Lanliss heals everyone, Brunner move his shoulder a little, ”cheers Lanliss,….”
Just as he is about to say more to the elf a javelin flies overhead. Turning and seeing the bugbear, Brunner hustles forward seeing the bugbears shield high blocking Evia’s arrow he swings his hammer low, trying to take out a knee. As he swings his hammer he jokes ” Diz anyain else fin' it a wee disturbin' 'at uir mukker Dalron haur thinks loch a gobo?”
Barnabus’ Ray of Frost strikes the Bugbear in the face causing the hair on it to freeze and even burn his face. Trying to knock the frost off its face, he is stomping around and Brunner’s attack swings under a stomping leg.
Lanliss nocks and looses another arrow in one swift motion.
The arrow doesn't find its target, but Lanliss seems distracted as he asks anyone near him, "It just did the same tactic we did when we burst through a closed door."
The bugbear smirks amusingly at the group missing him.

Disappointed that the bugbear was smart enough to take a step back to remove the chance to flank him, Scarlet still thrust his rapier toward the bugbear hoping to score another nice hit on it.
