Perception checks please.
Lokien stretches his shoulders as he switches his longhammer from one hand to another.
Kast looks around as he tromps about.
Perception
Elrawien's perception
He colored as she patted his rump and merely shook his head as she cast her spells, He certainly hoped she took this somewhat seriously. Deviant little buggers that goblins were, it was their home they were assualting.
Who knows my husband, perhaps we shall become a team in more than one area, blending magic and steel in way that will destroy all who come before us, though, why such an ungraceful weapon as a flail? It is so human, you need something more elven, though you have the build to wield it properly.
"Grace and blunt effectiveness are two differently things El, Besides its weight and the goblins smaller size will mean it will be more effective even if they somehow do try to block it." he answered not wanting to get into an arguement over the chosen weapon. Sure a nice elven blade would have been nice, but he didnt have the heritage of funding that she had held. Besides, he knew a few useful tricks with the weapon.
"We are perhaps making too much noise" - Helgarr comments at both Calin and Elrawien - "We are risking giving away our presence too soon" - the woman adds.
I will attempt to get everyone over on this trail.
"There's a trail over this way that smells of goblins!"
Lokien motions for everyone's silence.
"Since we're already in enemy lands, it might just be best for us to adopt caution here then. I'll cover the rear as both our scouts take point. We don't want to alert them to our presence."
He swings his hammer and keeps it close to his chest.
Caleb, will you be in front or in back of me? I have a few spells that might be useful. I can put a few of them to sleep or make images or disappear. says the female elf. It might behoove us to know what our other wielders of magic can do?
Amren whispers to Elwarien before taking a point position 15 feet in front of the party.
Yeah, I can cast "chuck a knife at the bad guys." It's a pretty awesome spell.
Perhaps your small daggers are indicitative of your smallness in other areas, Halfling? she says as she checks out the Halfling with a smirk.
Amren looks back over his shoulder.
Lady, there's a reason they call me the tripod back in Magnimar.
"Lady, there's a reason they call me the tripod back in Magnimar."
Kast stifles a laugh.
Good one. I'll have to remember that one.
Kast keeps his eyes out.
My magic is much more subtle than a knife? Why fight someone when they can become your friend? Would you like to taste my power? she says as the rubies on her bracelets glow.
Calin had to bite his tongue. Though his lips just barely ticked upwards in a slight smirk. "our large friend is correct, we should be quiet." He began nodding in Helgarr's direction. The exotic looking Shoanti woman had a point, they were traveling about the goblin's home territories, It wouldnt do to not pay attention. He nodded to the furred feline as well. "You said you could sniff them out? lead on then friend." He began closing torwards the path the catman indicated.
I think that kitty will be distracted by a butterfly and wander off.
Let's go ahead and establish a marching order.
Amren would take point because of traps.
I would think that the arcane users would be in the middle?
Sensing a lack of cohesion, and because he was the only soldier present (in his mind, at least), Kast barks out a few orders.
Kast nods to Helgarr. "Would you accompany the halfling in the front?"
Kast points his spear at Calin and the Lady. "Calin, you and the Lady will be protected in the middle." Kast looks at Garridan. "You're there too."
Kast nods at Lokien. "We shall guard the rear...and the Lady if and when Calin moves up to engage." Hopefully, Garridan will stay safely back as well.
Sounds perfect. Amren will use the shadows and the wild growth to stay hidden, so anything that attacks won't see him and go after Helgarr. Lol.
Which way will you be going?
Kast nods at the Lady, and tries to respond in his imperfect Elven.
Which way will you be going?
Amren motions for the party to look where he is, but to stay silent. He points to the hidden path, and lifts a branch covering the entrance to what appears to be a massive bramble thicket. He pads silently on a path heading to the left, using the shadows and the rays of light coming through the branches to stay hidden, keeping two daggers ready and an eye out for trouble. He searches the ground for goblin tracks, following them as best he can. When he is sure an area is clear, he motions for the party to follow. He stays about fifteen feet ahead of the group, so he can keep an eye for traps and ambushes.
Helgarr follows suit once Amren gives the signal - even though stealth is not her strongest trait, she tries to move silently nonetheless, weapon drawn and at the ready.

Can you repost them?
I was under the impression that Lokien had placed it in the campaign tab.
Thank you!
Earlier I rolled a 29 on stealth, a 12 on perception, and a 21 on survival. For some reason it won't let me repost them
Which way are you leading the party? Are you scouting ahead? If so, how much farther ahead?
Fifteen feet ahead, down the left path.
Amren uses his survival abilities to try and track the goblins through the veritable maze of undergrowth and brambles.
Lokien nods as he keeps up with the party though he suspects that with his large bulk, stealth might just be next to impossible for him.
Kast follows, more concerned with unity than direction.
Garridan nods at Elrawien's words. "I am sorry for your loss, Lady Elrawien, I truly am. Only one such as us can understand the pang of loss from the death of a loved one."
He continues on with the group, moving to where he is suggested. "Be careful up there, Amren. I will stay back here with Lady Elrawien, but when we come to battle... I aim to kill as many goblins as possible."
Amren whispers back at Garridan
Just make sure you let me know where the blanket spells are landing. I'd rather not get covered in fire or some other nasty substance.
Here is some info for medium creatures in the area of the hedge maze. -4 to AC and -4 to attack. You must spend a square of movement for each square travelled. Small characters are fine.
Amren, the room you are in is a four foot high tunnel that winds through the dense briars and nettles. The floor is hard-packed earth with patches of wiry plants growing stubbornly here and there.
"I wonder if we could find another means of ingress Amren - it will be very complicated to fight in these close quarters..." - Helgarr comments as they move along.
Well being bent over does offer the elf a nice view! :) but it is a stiff penalty, I agree.
Calin frowned at the slow progress and the very cramped warrens. This certainly put a bit of a hindrence on thier ability to fight.
"We should have just got a few barrels of oil and lit the whole damned thing on fire."
He growled lowly in annoyance, quite possibly the first time that he had let that emotion actually reflect in his voice. He had been feeling annoyed certainly over quite a few things, but this was the first time his voice displayed it.
Kast draws his morningstar and shield, stowing his usual longspear in the confined space. He enters his soldier stance, feet spread and knees bent, ready to receive and return any attack.
Ok Amren, which way are you going now?
