Two goblins come running out of the darkness headed for the tunnel from where the light shines. Cocoa releases the spell she was holding. A line of shadowy vines shoot out from her finger tips the length of the tunnel and into the room where the goblins appeared. As they extend they sprout nasty looking thorns which tear at the goblins. The lead goblin takes it worse than his companion.
Bruno lifts his hammer, "Well Grak looks like its time to bash some heads, I got your back" then falls instep beside him to help fend off any Flanking positions the goblins might try

Arwen backs up behind the crowd lowering her bow. "Coco! Maybe its best to try and tell them we AREN'T enemies." She calls Emmy and Tiger Lilly back to her, "We need to make them understand that we are friends, and won't hurt them." Arwen turns and shouts to the group. "Only defend! Don't hurt them!"
Concerned things may get out of hand, Emmy pushes to the front and calls out, "Stop! We come in peace. Do you want a snack?"
The two in the light run into the darkness. Then there is some chittering and talking in a harsh high pitched language, one would assume goblin. After a lot of scrabbling and slapping of feet, a voice comes from the dark. "We would like snack. We take little one with bad spells, she make good snack."
Bruno steps up to defend placing himself between to goblin and the "little one with bad spells"
The tunnel leading into the goblin den is getting ever more crowded. As Bruno elbows his way through the crowd to setup in front as a guard he all but takes up the last remaining stretch of tunnel so that there is nary a recessed spot where Grak could stand to support his friend. But then it is just as well for sneaking up behind the group was a sewer ooze which Grak and the others in the back only notice when it strikes.
In the front of the tunnel, the goblins cry out, "It is one of the hated ones, he is here to kill us all!" Then several arrows come flying in at Bruno. They all clatter off the walls or his raised shield.
the d4 is acid dmg
Aramis, ever ready to enter the fray, springs forward to attack the goblins who shot.
Malkis peers into the gloom. If he can see a targe that shot in this direction, he releases burning hands. (DM note: Makis, Ash and Aramis were among the first to head down the hall, if we somehow are in the back, the burning hands will be directed at eh ooze. Aramis had commented to the others to check the bones when heading down the hall).
ASh readies his shield and axe moving forward to strike the nearest foe.
Malkis steps beyond the dwarf and launches his flaming hands to the right to hit two goblins. The flames wash over the two creatures and they fall to the ground extra crispy. Then Ash steps past Malkis to cleave the nearest goblin in twain.
Grak slams his warhammer into the slime with a loud *splat*!
Aramis being back with the paladin leaps in to take a shot at the ooze. His rapier rakes through the foul slime drawing its attention. Back in the tunnel, Cocoa steps forward for a better look. Peering around the dwarf she launches a ball of acid that strikes one of the goblins in the light and it splashes onto the one next to it.
The ooze reaches for Aramis with a flailing pseudopod but misses. The goblins, apparently insane, attack the party even though the odds seem to be against them. In the flurry of screaming goblins swinging dog slicers Malkis and Ash are both hit, Ash taking a rather serious wound.

Arwen sees a clear shot at the slime, she carefully notches an arrow and pulls back the string watching for Grak, Aramis, and Ash. Releasing when she thinks necessary. Her hood up, blue eyes staring at the blob, Her eyes then move toward Aramis stabbing the creature. She shakes her head and returns focus to the blob, releasing the arrow.
Tiger Lillie gives a series of commands and clicks. Her dramosaur, Cappuccino, goes dodging through her teammates to get to the goblins. Once in the open it delivers a vicious bite but misses.
Emmy walks out of the tunnel back toward the entrance to help the boys with the ooze. She steps past Arwen to get a good view of the action and then quickly casts telekinetic projectile. A stone from the floor launches itself into the ooze with an audible squelch.
smash the closest goblin keeping myself between them and the rest of the party, also dodging the dino hoping he's clear on who is on the menu
Thoron doesn't have sufficient room at first so he decides to clear things out a bit. He moves past Malkis and the dinosaur shoving hard against one of the goblins to drive it backward. He follows up with a swipe of his hammer to let it knows he means business but the goblins ducks the blow.
Aramis continues to attack the ooze, though he suspects it will do little to the creature. He calls out, "Does anyone have some lamp oil we can light this thing up with?"
Aramis steps around the ooze to give others room to enter the fray and continues to attack, though he suspects it will do little to the creature. He calls out, "Does anyone have some lamp oil we can light this thing up with?
-- Note to DM. I couldn't roll on Roll20 or move our characters. I will look how to roll on here next post.
"I think I fell asleep, well, I'm going to try to kill you so... last by-bys bye" as he completes an overhead strike at the nearest goblin.
Arabism finishes off the ooze with a final thrust of his rapier that seems to overcome its ability to maintain coherency. Over at the goblin battle, Ash again cuts down a goblin.
Malik’s still has his turn.
Malkis blasts the nearest goblin with a ray of frost.
The ray sends the wounded goblin into fitful shakes before it drops. The remaining goblins seem scared and yet they still do not run. It's as if they fear something else even more.
A new goblin from the darkness attacks Cappuccino scratching the dinosaur across its back. The goblin attacking Ash lunges with a vicious attack but fails to penetrate the big man's defenses. The dwarf is not quite as lucky. His armor blocks most of the blow he receives but the spearpoint does make it through his chainmail and scratches him across the ribs.
Cocoa moves through the crowd growing scales and nasty looking claws as she goes. She slips behind Ash and then lashes out at the nearest goblin. Her attack misses but her transformation definitely unnerves the goblin.
Emmy moves with elven grace through the crowd and south past Cocoa. Then she moves around the southern column and comes up behind the goblins.
attack the goblin to the south. confused by the format so you can roll
Thoron crushes the goblin striking at Ash freeing the fighter up to move about the battlefield, he does. Ash moves toward the last goblin threatening Thoron and cuts it down. The last remaining goblin is finally decides he is more scared of the group than his master and runs.
"Well, it's a good thing that we got the goblins before they got us." Cocoa said as she moved up next to Arwen. "We need to go get this Chief Drakus now. Follow me." The little gnome said then cast a spell to create a light and stepped out in front of Arwen.
Cocoa leads the way into the darkness revealing the layout of the room with her light as she proceeds. There are three rough hewn openings to the west, one of which opens onto a small room, perhaps a burial chamber. Another exit is to the east. Unlike the three to the west it is worked stone, by those of good skill. A set of four steps leads up to a flagstone hall that disappears into the darkness.
Grak finds the last goblin from the fight hiding in one of the back caves to the west. "Kill quick so Drakus not eat." the goblin says pitifully hanging its head in defeat.
Meanwhile Coacoa steps up the three stairs leading to the easter hall. Her light illuminates down the hall and her gnome vision allows her to see beyond. The hall is not long, only twenty feet, before opening into a room.
Both women step forward to get a better look at the room. The sound of dripping water echoes through this chamber. On the north side of the room, a nearly ten-foot-tall visage of a woman’s face is carved into the wall. Trickles of water run down her cheeks like tears into a foul and polluted reservoir below, which itself drains to a large pool of fetid black water on the south side of the room.
Thoron approaches Ash and says, "Let me help you out there young man." With that he touches Ash and sends a cool sensation of healing through him.
"Makeway, and let Cappuccino check the area out." Tiger Lillie says as the dog sized dinosaur makes its way down the hall.
Cappuccino goes around the water instead of going over or through it. He starts sniffing at the southern door and works his way to the eastern door. Then he goes back and forth between the two before settling before the eastern door. He looks back in the direction of Tiger Lillie and snorts before returning his gaze to the eastern door.
Emmy dashes up the hall way to have a look at the blackend sooty water "whats with the water? do you think it was made this way or that its just dirty?"
