One last time then.., she says pointing at the door. She reaches down and awards a pat. Good dog, she praises the pooch.
As spot growls at a door, poppy gets her hammer ready as she twirls it in her grip finding just right grip.
alright spot, that's some great sniffing. Best be on our toes She remarks as she takes up a ready stance beside spot.
Izumi opens the door and moves backwards by moving with the door so it provides full cover and allowing reach or missile weapons to enter the space beyond.
Izumi peeks into the room and realizes there are four of those rat dogs here running free. They seem to be threatening each other occasionally, but mostly they like to scratch and brush against the wall on the far side.
Poppy steps up and closes the door as quietly as she can, they don't look very sanitary. We might need a plan before just jumping right in
"I'm gonna summon a friend to help even the odds. Once he appears, I say we strike. Unless anyone has any better ideas?'
Great idea... I approve.
She summons up a celestial dog to assist.

She readies her sling to take down survivors.
The dogs appear simultaneously next to the rat-like dogs and...
Rooke's celestial cayhound appears right of the blue-framed goblin dog.
Poppy stands ready. doesn't someone need to go in and tell the summoned critters which other critters they should attack? I mean I'm no summoner, but I know spot won't just attack all by himself. Well he might but he shouldn't, cause he might hurt the wrong critter.
Lol... posting tomorrow
The celestial terrier also attacks the same target
for
Woot
Izumi and Rooke's dogs' combined effort manages to kill one of the dogs.
The leftover dogs are quick on their feet and collapse on the heavenly dogs.
They send Izumi's dog back to heaven.
Rooke rushes into the goblin dog kennel, brandishing his rapier.
"Good boy!" The varisian shouts over to the celestial cayhound.
The varisian readies an action for when the goblin dogs get with melee range.
Rooke's celestial cayhound attacks the green-framed goblin dog.
Poppy and spot move onto the room. Not wanting spot to get anything that those mangy goblin dogs have cause it look pretty contagious, she tris to get spot to guard beside her.
She then is ready to hit a poor dog that gets close with her hammer
Izumi wades in with Katana...
for
Add 2 if I can get flanking with the hound.
Izumi runs into the room and slices the side of a rat-dog in half. The Rooke's celestial dog manages to hurt one of the dogs very badly. Poppy and Rooke themselves wait for dogs that never come. One fights with his summoned dog and the other goes for Izumi.
Rooke's dog gets sent back to the celestial planes but the other dog only scratches Izumi's armor.
Hoping spot will remain where he is at, Poppy quickly moves to fill the vacant spot that the summoned dog once stood.
You mutts need to learn some manners She yells in goblin.
Choppy chop
for
"GOODEST BOY! NOoo!"
Distraught, Rooke advances on the red-framed goblin dog.
Izumi cuts down another dog and the group gangs up on the last one.
There is a double door to the south. To the north there are two doors, on that goes north and one that goes west into what seems like a room.
Inside the room some hooves can be heard shifting about uncomfortably.
everyone, shhh, I hear something. Poppy whispers as she cautiously approaches the sound of hooves
she peers into the room to see what is making the noise.
Poppy finds that the door is locked.
If the room is locked and whatever it is has hooves? Let's leave it for later... and if the place is clear? Let's rest up.
"Sounds fair to me", Rooke nodded at Izumi's wisdom, looking to the others for confirmation.

but what if it's a pig? And it my be in trouble. I knew a halfling bard once who had a daughter and she had a pet pig, or was it a boar, anyway it was real nice and she was real neat, I think she was a druid, anyway maybe it needs resuming, we should try and get in. I can hit it with my hammer that sometimes works.
Poppy pauses to take a breath then looks at everyone with that little girl "please" look.
Poppy feels that she might be able to hammer the door down with some time. It will probably frighten whatever's in there if it's a pig.
Just as Poppy is about to lift her hammer against the door, the group hears hear heavy breathing from the entrance. A familiar breathing that is. Mostly, because you recognice the muffled distortion of the heavy beard.
"Puh. Well well, little gnome. I thought I'd be able to catch up with you earlier. You're supposed to be slowed down by that strange armor you're wearing, I imagines." Dolgrin eyeballs Poppy's gear.
"And I almost had you in sight, I believe, before that heavy thicket out there, that is. Well here I am. I hear there are goblins to be slain. Sorry I'm late to the party, but I had important business to attend to."
Dolgrin? That you?
"Yes, yes. So where are the Goblins? I hope you left some for me!"
Poppy turn to see if what she hears is in fact truth. Can it be?
But spot is already greeting the dwarf. As he runs over to dolgrin with a bark of excitement. Almost barreling him over.
Spot, get down and come over here. Poppy tries to calm spot down
sorry about that, where have you been? Like I should be asking that considering I had to track down another goblin tribe and kind of took off on my own as well.
also, I think there is a poor little pig trapped behind those locked doors. I was gonna hammer it open. Then I realized that might not be a good idea. Maybe you can get it open, do you know how to open locks? Maybe someone found a key. I know I didn't.
Poppy managed to stop herself from an excited ramble.
Dolgrin pets Spot only very briefly, clearly not the biggest friend to animals.
"A pig? What you gonna do with it? Take it with you into battle? How about we leave it until we return home? Work before pleasure. Also I don't know, why goblins would imprison pigs..." Dolgrin tries to reason with Poppy.
Dolgrin attaches his buckler and makes it obvious that he readies his warhammer. "Torag, Shield!" he shouts at his god and casts Shield of Faith while moving towards a door at the northern end.
Izumi follows.
The dwarf arrives and already leads the group on. He opens the door to the north and it leads to a corridor. At its end there is a door to the east which leads to a smaller corridor. It has two doors, one north and one south.
The one to the south leads to a room. A round table and a few chairs are this room’s only furnishings. To the north there is another corridor with two doors. The first door leads to a goblin latrine and the second to another stairway down.
Dolgrin quickly rushes the group through various very small corridors and rooms that the Goblins inhabitate.
*Grml. Let's go down. They must be hiding somewhere.* He silently walks down the stairs checking that his friends follow him closely.
Poppy follows along But what if there is a piggy there? we will come back right? she asks with a little bit of concern that there may be something trapped beyond the locked door.
maybe Dolgrin is right, there are more goblins that might have a key.
Poppy keeps her hammer at the ready in case there is a surprise attack.
I'm hoping.
Dolgrin bravely leads the group downstairs. A door opens into a room. A large table surrounded by chairs fills much of this room. A slate board to the north is covered with scribblings in chalk, but the map of Sandpoint that has been carefully inscribed on it leaves no doubt as to the purpose of this room—this is doubtless where the recent raid was
planned.
There are two doors out. One to the west and one to the east.
From the western door, a conversation can be heard. It seems a woman is trying to soothe someone.
Rooke's head cocks to the side as he hears something come the western door. The caydenite motions the other over to quietly hear.
Dolgrin accepts the command and silently approaches the door.
He then puts his ear at the door.
his face says, he's unsure what is behind the it.
Izumi makes a kicking motion... inquiring as if they should boot the door open.
Rooke smiles wide at this. The caydenite motions the other away from the door, squares himself and attempts to kick the door in.
