Felix sees a goblin appear from where they were coming from. Both he and the goblin shout in surprise.
Felix raises his crossbow hurriedly and lets the bolt fly at the goblin before retreating into the room. “They’re here,” he says unnecessarily.
The goblins scream in frenzy and march into the room. They flood the room, and are led by one of the more experienced goblins. However, only the commander is wielding a weapon. The others kick and bite. Being so frantic, they only manage to enter the room before the group is able to react, except for the one Felix tried shooting at, who tries biting Dart.
The goblin bites his own hand by mistake.
Rooke misses the nearest goblin.
Felix steps back and raises his carved spiral in the air once more. “Fate has decreed your time is past!”

She cuts down the blue goblin (or whatever is standing) and moves into its space to stand next to Felix to protect him.
From across the room a set of double doors fly open. On the other side is a small gnome with a slightly electrical blueish skin tone and white hair done in a double pony tail, clad in Shiney kikko style armor, a Warhammer in one hand and a gold colored buckler in the other. Her hammer crackles with a slight electrical charge.
She is riding a riding dog clad in studded leather armor.
She yells out in goblin
feel the wrath of Tor, and die goblin vermin
She urges her dog forward into battle as she unleashes an arc of lightning from her hammer at a goblin.
After the gnome enters and shoots lighting all around scaring the goblins and heroes alike, Dart pokes his spear at the goblin he can reach.
The goblin dies and the others try to kick and bite him and the newcomer. The leader goes for Izumi, having recognized her as the biggest threat.
All goblins miss their attacks.
"Now that's an entrance", remarked Rooke.
The varisian then advances toward the maroon-bordered goblin and attacks.
Rooke's sword pokes the goblin hard, killing him instantly.
stop moving so I can hit you
Poppy tries to get spot to bite at the pink goblin again as she bring the hammer time to its head.
Poppy smashes the goblin's head in, killing him.

[dice=katanaaaaa!]1d20 + 9 for 1d8 + 9
Izumi moves into its space after its dead.
The goblin dies before he knows what is going on.
Felix takes a step back and slides another bolt into his crossbow. Carefully he takes aim, and fires!
Dart takes a step back and attacks a goblin.
The goblins turn to Izumi and Rooke.
But can't bite through their armor.
Hiiiiyaaa
for
Izumi cuts down yet another goblin. There is only one left.
Rooke stabs, but goes high.
Poppy yells out Dart step back, we got this.
Once in position, spot bites at the goblin
Poppy follows with her hammer
The goblin barely manages to dodge Spot's bite, but Poppy's swing hits true and she can feel the goblin's ribs breaking, and he falls on the ground unconscious.
The room is silent again with no more goblins coming. Spot approaches Izumi and licks her hand.
Apart from the exit from where Poppy or the group entered, there are two doors out of this room. One to the north and one to the east.
East is the holy direction and eager to fight again before blessings expire, she hurries through the door.
Surprised, Rooke follows the aasimar east. "Uh..wait up!"
Poppy barely finishes gathering her thoughts from the last fight. Then Izumi rushes to the next door.
Ahh, hello to you to? She mutters out loud. A confused look on her face. She stops to check herself and spot to see if they are really there.
Approaching Rooke, ahe extends her little hand hi, I'm Poppy, this is Spot. We are old friends of Izumi and Dart. Do you like pastries? My mom makes some really good ones, especially the apple. Anyway I was tracking some gobbies and they led me here, and then "BAM" I found you guys. Small world isn't it? So what was your name again?
Spot just sits down as poppy enters a small bit of rambling that she does every so often when she gets excited.
Rooke takes the offered hand and shakes with a slight bow as he moves forward. "Hi Poppy. Hi Spot. I'm Rooke. One of Cayden's boys. Nice to meet you? Are you a cleric too?"
Rooke takes the offered hand and shakes with a slight bow as he moves forward. "Hi Poppy. Hi Spot. I'm Rooke. One of Cayden's boys. Nice to meet you? Are you a cleric too?"
Poppy smiles at Rooke, I don't know about being a cleric, but I have been touched by the great hero Tor. He has gifted me with wonderous abilities and I follow in his footsteps. If that means I'm a cleric then I guess so. But spot here is a dog, but he's also my bestest friend. Isn't that right Spot?
She says that last part as she gives Spot a big hug.
Looking about, who's that other guy? indicating Felix.
"Felix, most recently of Khar Maga." The old man bows to the gnome and smiles gently. "The Lady of Fates led me here, and it is my path to follow this to its end. It looks like that end might be this way." He gestures after Izumi. "Shall we?"
Poppy looks toward Izumi, then at everyone else, then back to Izumi. She then looks to spot, Hey zimi, wait up, I gots little legs She says as she rushes to catch up.
come on spot let's find more goblins. urging spot to follow.
You were late, she says intensely... then cracks into a smile and reaches down to give her a fierce one armed hug. Glad to have you in that fight.

This room contains a small armory of crudely made weapons (mostly dogslicers and shortbows) and several small goblin-sized suits of studded
leather armor and dented shields. To the south stand a pair of
workbenches.
Any more exits here or just the exit in the other room?
Izumi opens the door to the north. Several rugs made from dog or horse hide lie strewn over the dirt floor of this room. Against the north wall stands an impressive collection of horseshoes, each nailed to the wall. To the east sits a ragged padded chair next to a rickety desk that may have once been an expensive antique. In the northwest corner sits a canopied bed covered with silk sheets and sporting an elaborately carved headboard that features nymphs and satyrs cavorting in a forest. The bed’s sheets are stained with dirt, while the headboard is bashed and battered.
She finally breathes a sigh of relief and relaxes.
I think we have cleared this building and hopefully most of this fort. Let's just do a slow search to check for prisoners or stragglers.
Poppy breathes a sigh of relief as there are no more goblins about at the moment.
yeah, I agree Izumi. I bet those little buggers are hiding in some hidden closet somewhere.
Turning to spot I bet you can find them, can't ya. Yeah, who's a good boy, whose the best tracker in the world, yes, you are. Wanna go find some goblins? Let's find some goblins
Poppy tries to get Spot to sniff out some goblins
Spot simply sits down and start to lock his hind quarters, then stares at poppy like it's play time. His tongue hanging out looking all goofy
With spot, not so keen on sniffing out goblins, alright spot, I know goblins smell really bad. Let's just go with auntie zimi, ok?
And instead just has spot follow along as they go with Izumi looking for more goblins.
Spot gets a little anxious, he smells many things in this place. Checking some doors they did not previously, the group finds an open door they had passed before which was closed then. It has a few bunk beds and can easily be assumed to be the place from where the goblin reinforcements came in the throne room.
The next door leads to a staircase going down. Now there are two options. Go down or explore more of this floor to the west.
Lets stick to this floor and clean it out before we move down
Lets stick to this floor and clean it out before we move down
""Let's make sure this floor is clear, so we don't get ambushed from above later", Rooke offers.
Both Izumi and Rooke speak at the same time. The caydenite just smiles and throws a wink at the aasimar. "Great minds.."
The tender moment is interrupted by Spot. There are two ways west, a double door and a single door a little more to the north. Spot gets growly at the northern single door.
