After a thorough search, Dolgrin doesn't find any secret doors or compartments in the room. The safe hanging open and empty does have a secret compartment, but it is empty as well.
Anyway, Dolgrin looks over his shoulder hoping the others follow him and enters the half-open door.
Dolgrin walks into the room to find a stairway going down. It's pretty dark downstair.
If it is safe to assume that the goblins ran down these stairs, Dolgrin will motion his party to pursuit.
"I'm sure, you know how to make light", he says to noone in particular without turning his head.
After ensuring everyone is OK, she moves beside Dolgrin. its dark there, I can't see anything. I can light a torch. I'll go find one
Poppy goes off to the main room to look for a torch and bring it back. then, after returning, she runs back to the main room again to light the torch, then about halfway back to Dolgrin, she turns back to the main room again to re-light the torch cause it went out.
got light
Dolgrin and Poppy lead the way downstairs to find what appears to be a storage area. Two wheelbarrows sit against the wall. To the east, a brick wall has been dismantled to reveal an older passageway that turns south.
Dolgrin also tries to listen for potential noises. Goblin are not known for being silent, except when they plan an ambush.
Because nothing can be heard, he tries to look for tracks of witch way they might have gone.
His tracking skills are pretty lackluster so he just makes an estimated guess, whether they might have headed through the turned down wall or straight forward.
Both Dart and Dolgrin are perplexed by the coolness of the basement and don't see any sign about which way the goblins might have gone. The group takes a few moments to get their sight adjusted to the darkness in the basement. Given the cobwebs, it doesn't seem this path is much cleaned, but it has some seen some use recently.
Poppy tries to sneak about looking for any signs of more goblins
Poppy has trouble hearing anything through her own footsteps and breathing.
Dolgrin crushes some bricks with his pick an leads the group east.
Let me channel energy and Shizurus blessings again... I feel I need it
Dolgrin finds the corridor has another torn down bricked wall further down. There are three doors visible in this corridor. One is to the south in the far wall. Two others are along the east wall, to the left of Mashaka, when she looks at them from this angle. The furthest door on the east wall has some light coming out of some of its cracks.
With his allies right behind him, Dolgrin will carefully open any door after he listened briefly.
copy&paste?[/ooc]
Dolgrin opens the first door to find an empty room with a tunnel winding away northeast.
Dart hears soft breathing coming from the second door, from which light is coming out.
After looking carefully, Dart determines that the doors here are very old and, if there were any traps, they would be rotten by now. He also figures out there has never been any traps in here.
Dolgrin grabs his shield tight and his Pick high and positions himself ready to charge in.
He looks at Dart and nods.
As Dart opens the door, an arrow flies in his direction.
As quickly as Dart moves, the arrow flies true and sticks in his shoulder.
Dart catches a glimpse of the room, which is a basic office, with a desk and a shelf. It was a half-elf who shot an arrow at him, and the goblins that ran away are now in this room. There is no sign of Ameiko in there.
The enemies stay in their room after the arrow is shot. The party can hear another arrow being drawn.
Dolgrin wastes no time and moves inside, his shield raised in defense. He attacks the first target he can reach.
Hopefully the Half-elf lacks precision when firing into melee.

Seeing a room full of enemies, Dart quickly steps back to let his more melee-efficient allies have room to operate and he begins to call out words of inspiration. "Let the unrighteous fall before us! Chop them down as the chaffs of insignificant wheat they are!"
He then ponders whether or not his metaphor is effective as imagery, or simply good because it was delivered confidently.
As Dolgrin enters the room and gets close to the goblins, an arrow flies toward him and the goblins attack him.
Despite being well protected, the arrow pierces his leg, drawing a lot of blood.
Despite taking damage, the dwarf bravely ventures forth and sticks his pick in one of the goblins' skull. His attack leaves the goblin dizzy.
A drop of sweat trickles down the half-elf's face as he watches with apprehension what the celestial borne and the gnome are going to do.
Izumi moves up to dart but can't see a way into the room... though she channels energy again...
Poppy tries to maneuver to see what is going on, I thought something seemed weird about that story. but who's this guy? oh well, we can ask later
drop the bow and surrender or face Tor's vengeance she yells to the half-elf, her hammer charged with another bolt of lightning.
Poppy prepares for the worse. she charges her hammer and the electrical charge soon surrounds her (shield of faith spell)
As Poppy shoots lightning at the half-elf, he does not release his bow. The goblins retreat a little bit, while one of them swings at Dolgrin before doing so. The half-elf gets up on the desk and shoots at Dart behind Dolgrin.
Although the goblin only managed to hit Dolgrin's armor, the arrow hits Dart on the flank, drawing a lot of blood.
Dolgrin steps closer into the room in order to be a threat to the archer standing behind the table.
"Why are you allying with these creatures?" Dolgrin asks the half-elf politely, while swing at the blue goblin.

Dart allows his words of inspiration to linger as he turns his attention to helping Dolgrin face better odds. Dart, bleeding from his wound, extends his hands towards one of the Goblins and calls out, "[b]May Shelyn's might be felt,[/ooc]" and with that, chains burst from the floor beneath the Goblin and lash out at him.
And after the spell is unleashed, he retreats with his wounds a few steps to be out of arrow range.
Dolgrin cuts the goblin in half. The half-elf tells him "They are a means to an end!", confidently.
Izumi moves into the room, behind and to the side of the dwarf...
Poppy moves into the room and swings her hammer on the closest goblin.
Despite attacking a very dizzy goblin, Poppy barely misses her swing.
The goblins and the half-elf coordinate an attack. Making a very elaborate jump after dropping his bow, the half-elf passes over the two priests in front of him and lands on their other side, flanking Izumi with the goblin. He attacks Izumi with a round house kick, which is part of the movement to land.
The half-elf hits Izumi right where it hurts. The sudden mobility by him proves to be a big surprise for her, and the goblin manages to hit her while she is distracted.
Meanwhile, another goblin flanks Dolgrin with the half-elf and manages to slice his leg.
The goblin that attacked Dolgrin faints from his wounds, however.
Blue @Izumi: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4
Izumi was full defensive... this would make her AC21, correct? If so I'll adjust HP back to 1.
Dolgrin turns around, partly astouned by the acrobatics of the half-elf, partly angry for the attack at Izumi. He weighs his options. "This seems to be not working as good as it is against stone." Dolgrin gives a sad glance at his beloved pick then drops it to the floor and draws his Warhammer.
Sooo? That 19 is a miss?
