After getting an answer from his sister, Gorou follows Thribden.
Darinius examines the walls of the goblin huts, it seems he might have a possibly clever idea.
"当然" Shiori responds to her brother, keeping her answer short so as to not let him know that she had more as well.
She then follows the others.
Darinius sees that the huts are rather shoddily built and pops his head into another empty one. Thirb and Gorou search around down the ladder, and find nothing more than a dead goblin, that has been torn in several places. There is no way to walk around under the huts nor is there another ladder.
Thribden turns to the others, It looks like there's another ladder here, we can cone at the room from two directions. Come on. Thribden moves around the corner and climbs the second ladder, readying herself to enter the other room.
Gorou continues to follow Thirbden.
Who opens the each door?
Gorou shoves past Thribden to open the door, despite the fact that he will likely get lit on fire again for his trouble.
Darinius kicks open the door in front of him and get ready to back up Gorou entering the hut.
Thribden tsks as she is roughly pushed aside, but she does not resist. In fact a small smile spreads across her face.
Gorou kicks the door open and finds that he is in a corridor NEXT to the room, not actually in it!
Darinius slams his door open and finds nothing but junk.
Darinius kicks an empty crate out of his way as he crosses the room to open the other door, taking a look around as he does so.
"Why are we ambushing crates and boxes?" Shiori asks looking into the room.
Gorou kicks open the next door to the east.
Thribden chuckles at the view of the empty room, but prepares herself again as Gorou kicks open the other door.
The door slams open and 4 arrows fire at Gorou immediately, though it appears to be a trap not an ambush
threat
yikes 2 hits and a confirmed crit Gorou collapses in a heap, bleeding profusely
Thirbden's mouth drops open, her eye's going wide. A moment later, she rushes into action. She stoops down by Gorou, pulling the arrows out. She touches the wounds softly. They begin closing immediately.
Finally they close enough and Gorou wakes up. Thribden lets out a breath. She reaches out, देवी अपने घावों को चंगा करने दें.
Finally satisfied that Gorou seems okay. Thribden stands, Well, shall we go. Simply be a little more careful.
"Damned goblins. Thanks again Thribden," Gorou says, climbing wearily back to his feet.
It is obvious that this particular trap was hastily set up, which served Gorou well since two of the arrows wound up striking the floor and not him. It also appears that the goblins picked the wrong door as the other door is broken and there are 4 dead goblins already in the room.
4 dogslicers and small leather armor and 20 gp are found
Seeing that Gorou is well attended, Darinius collects the ears of the dead goblins and then peeks around the door frame of the broken door.
Darinius sees nothing in there, but it is a particularly nice room...as far as this goblin town goes. It is organized and relatively neat. Though there is rotten food everywhere.
"Gorou, are you ok!" Shiori asks, rushing to her brother's side. "Who knew goblins could make traps, I thought you had to read instructions to do that."
"Maybe you or someone else stealthy could scout ahead some? I'll be fine, thanks to Thribden."
Thribden smiles, but she pulls back a little from the group, and pulls her pack down. She peers inside, Hey little one, sleep well?
As the group checks the room they find 3 fireworks known as skyrockets and 26 gp
Thribden clicks her tongue in frustration. She pulls her waterskin out, strapping it to her side, closes up her pack, and rejoins the group.
Darinius examines the fireworks gleefully. These should make up for our lack of firepower. He sees Thribden carrying the baby goblin around and rolls his eyes. They don't stay cute forever. What are you going to do when it becomes a full-size goblin?
so moving on?
Thribden looks at Darinius for a moment before answering. She smiles warmly, saying, I intend the same thing your mother intended when she was raising you. She starts to turn away, but stops, then whispers conspiratorily, Though to be truthful, I intend to be successful in teaching him manners, unlike some other mothers.
Well at least my guardians taught me about appropriate and inappropriate times to use explosions. Darinius replies cheerfully while waving a firework. More than you can say for goblins. I'll beleive in polite goblins when I see one.
Darinius is pretty sure he will never believe in well-mannered goblins.
Good of you to give the little one front row seats to the slaughter of the rest of its family though. Darinius mumbles one last jab as he goes for the next door. He looks at Gorou. I'll get this one.
Narissth continues to follow behind the rest of the group, bow in hand and fully expecting more goblins to jump out at ay moment.
-----
Gorou happily makes way for Darinius.
"I'd be better at disguising myself as a goblin then I would at being stealthy, and I don't like my odds if someone mistakes me for an actual goblin." Shiori responds to Gorou's comment.
The next door bangs open and is again filled with squalor.
Our heroes advance again and kick open another door it too is empty
Thribden chuckles, shaking her head. She pats her pack, I guess somebody had better teach him. Perhaps we could do it. She looks thoughtful as she follows the others through the rooms.
Big square in the middle is my choice.
nm I see you are all there!
The door bursts open and once again there is a filthy hovel, but this time there are goblins waiting in side. They have made a barricade, from which they are able to shoot out from.
[rolling init]
Heroes go First
10 feet
Thribden sighs as they crowd around a single door again. She begins to rush around the side of the building until she sees a drop off. With a quick look, she sees a new ladder and jumps off the walkway. She barely makes the landing, but she does manage to remain standing. She rushes over to the ladder, preparing to climb.
As usual, Narissth is stuck on the wrong side with a weapon that is not particularly effective in these situations.
Action: Delay
