You cut down two saplings and strap them together, using their branches as steps on the ladder. It takes about a half hour with the four of you working together. You also tie them together with vines.
Once finished, she will make her way back to the treeline where she can be behind a bush from the wall, but Aukan could see them. She will then signal him by angling her dagger with the sun so that only he could see the shimmer. This signal would indicate for him to start his attack. They will lie in wait until he commences and goblins take cover from his aerial attacks. This will allow the group to approach unhindered and unseen.
Surprise and Round 1
First he pulls out his sheath and covers the adamantine blade. Then he puts it away and climbs up the 30 feet of stone next to the waterfall. At the stop he hesitates then sees the flickering light from Lilianne's blade. He climbs over the last bit of the rock and up onto the watch tower. There he draws his greatsword as he moves forward and slices the goblins.
Round 2
Aukan charges by leaping down at the nearest goblin...
With its quick reflexes he only takes off an arm...
The goblins reacted to Aukan entering their camp... startled. But did not act fast enough to act before being slain.
Only two goblins react by calling the alarm!
The large black panther jumps onto the North tower and climbs it, to the tasty morsel. The goblin in the North tower retreats as the one on the other near tower gets hit by two arrows then drops.
Round 2
Most of the goblins aware, pick up their weapon and stand up...
Round 2
Now that the ramp has been put into place, she nimbly scales it and prepares to engage with the enemy. As they come in, she will hastily draw her sword and utilize the magic of her new sheath.
"Surprise!" she cries out as she brings her massive blade down on the largest goblin near to her.
Round 2
Thorn is certainty surprised at the turn of events. He was pretty sure that wasn't the plan they were supposed to follow but Lilianne didn't seem to bothered.
Following his leader, he too springs up the makeshift ramp, his mace in hand after downing an alchemical concoction. A magical shield springs into being around him and fades away still leaving its protection on him.
The ramp seems to hold up well enough for the first three individuals over. Then the vines seem to go loose as the trunks move a bit. The three of you make it over easily enough.
Round 2
Thorn and Andrei follow Lilianne on the ramp, over the wall, into the camp. Lilianne moves forward to the goblin just coming out of its tent, finishing secure its belt, and she takes off its head. The black blood spurts into the air then splattering against the wall you just crossed as the body falls back limp.
The large panther jumps down upon the other wall, taking the attention of those ranged goblins.

Andrei hears murmuring from the nearby tent. At first, the caydenite wasn't too concerned with the sound with the assault about to begin, but then the varisian thought it could be a goblin that could backstab once the party's back was turned. No loose ends, Andrei thought defiantly. No loose ends!
The cleric, rapier drawn, enters the tent ready to attack it's inhabitant.
Round 3
"Glad that worked!" she comments about the ramp and the now falling body of the beheaded goblin who was closest to her.
She can hear the cries of a female inside the tent and watches Andrei go inside. She stays outside, helping handle the goblins as they seek to counterattack.
"Listen for our calls of healing, Andrei, and let me know if you need help in there," she commands to her love before moving to attack the main chief (if possible).
Round 3
"I hear some woman in distress but I guess we should handle these goblins first." as he moves into position and prepares to strike the first goblin that attempts to close in with them.
Andrei goes inside the tent.
Thorn not any of the goblins come to you as they all go after Lilianne. Lilianne charged the obvious goblin chief on the platform in the middle to the village. Then the goblins swarmed her.
The cleric continues to speak in a even tone, as to not upset the woman more. "Now, ăye wîll go behînd you ănd ușe my dăgger țo cuț țhoșe bîndîngș." Andrei, keeping his hands within view, slowly goes around the woman and frees her hands. "Dă cămp îz under ățțăck. Wăîț here ănd we wîll geț you ouț of here when îț îz săfe." The caydenite then removes his waterskin and hands it to the woman. "Şţây quîeț ănd ăye wîll rețurn țo țreăț țhoșe woundș. Âye em ă clerîc of Câyden Câîleân."
Once you free her hands she takes the gag out of her mouth and gasps. With her legs free next she falls to the ground.
With the canteen poured a bit into her mouth she spits it out and finally is able to croak out a few words, "Cayden be praised! Get me a weapon and I will join you!" You can tell she is determined but is weak from the abuse. A few shallow wounds that seem to have mostly healed are on her body.
[Ooc]We are going to sat that takes 2 rounds, so you may exit the tent at round 5, unless you take more actions in the tent.
Round 4
Thorn goes to the aid of Lilianne and lashes out with his weapon!
His mace strikes something and he was sure if was goblin!
Round 3
Lilianne charges forward but won't be able to get to the chief this round, instead goes for one of his guards. A portly goblin with some shiny metal armor that looks to big for him, possibly built for an orc or human. Though that armor did not help him as you cut this one's head off too!
One goblin that was standing next to his chief with a spear steps up and jabs at Lilianne over its fallen goblin. Lilianne can see several goblins breaking for the front gates but more advance on you and Aukan.
The chief waves his hands and casts an obvious spell upon the goblins nearby and they all begin to move and act more quickly than normal. Including the chief who then drops off the back of the raised platform and moves away with the others. Bold Green is cheif.
Round 4
Thorn moves up and lashes at the goblin behind Lilianne, smacking it with his mace and the goblin is visibly shaken by the blow.
Rund 3
He cleaves the two beside him in half!
Round 4
The three he cleaves are all hurt badly...
Round 5
, Lilianne quickly moves by a chieftan's bodyguard who swings out as she moves by him. The short sword slices into Lilianne's thigh leaving a bloody line behind. She finds herself on the other side of the platfrom and releases a color spray from her hands.
The two goblins on the East wall shoot their crossbows at Lilianne. Both hitting their target.
+5 Lilianne has soft cover from the first one.
Most of the gobos are coming out of their tents confused or running out through the front gate.
The Goblin in front of Thorn slices its crude sword out at him. Though it catches on your defense. The three next to Aukan attempt to run away, but one of the unlucky souls don't make it.
Round 5
Lilianne hits the goblin that attacked her.
Round 5
Andrei exits the tent, a vessel of Cayden Cailean's vengeance. The varisian advances next to thorn to give support and attack the goblins alongside the secret elf.
Round 5
On seeing Andrei come out of the tent, Thorn points to Lilianne after waving his held weapon to get his attention.
"She's hurt."
With that said he attempts to brain the goblin blocking him so that either himself or Andrei can get to her.
The panther follows the goblins out of the gate and goes to take another one down and misses. Arrows fly... Fire flies... and Aramyos rushes into those that exit with his steed! The howls of wolves can be heard and they are getting closer.
Round 5
Thorn and Andrei miss with their attacks. The two goblins before them slice at each of you with their dogslicers... and they both miss each of you. Lilianne on the other hand, her blade cuts deep into the goblin before her. Dropping it to the ground. Aukan charges in and takes down the goblin before Thorn.
Round 6
Andrei curses in his varisian tongue and continues his attack against his elusive prey.
Lilianne charges the goblin attacking Andrei.
Round 6
Thorn too frowns as his attacks misses and his shield fends off a blow.
Seeing Lilianne getting further away, he smashes his weapon against the goblin.
Round 6
The goblin cuts apart like a watermelon as Lilianne slices through it. Thorn helps bashing the goblin!
Aukan turns and rushes after the goblins that are fleeing.
The battle dies down at that point. The two crossbow weilding goblins stow their weapons, deftly slip over the wall and climb away. The last few goblins get out of the camp into a death trap.
The goblin chief moves and casts spells. The howls are close and you can hear the snarls of wolves attacking. Large predators clash!
Round 7
Round 7
"I am going to go get that spell flinging chief of theirs!" He announces to the three of you before rushing off after it.
Round 7
"Alia, go with him, go slower and track them. Eventually, their spells for speed will run out long before they get anywhere."
She looks for this source of howling and cleans her blade. Quickly she looks to the others.
"Get a height advantage if you can. Wolves can't climb." She then looks to Thorn and toward the tent to see if Andrei has set loose the woman yet. "Hurry and free her if you haven't."
Lilianne then will take up a position behind a tent, ready to spring out at any wolf-like creature that comes into sight.
Round 7
"I am going to go get that spell flinging chief of theirs!" He announces to the three of you before rushing off after it.
"Hâppy Hunţîng!" Andrei responds as the large fighter advances toward the chief.
Round 7
"Get a height advantage if you can. Wolves can't climb." She then looks to Thorn and toward the tent to see if Andrei has set loose the woman yet. "Hurry and free her if you haven't."
"Șhe îz free, buț șțăyîng ouț of dă fîghț. Îz băd, Câllîe." The cleric answered grimly.
The concern of his charges ruin the strikes of Andrei's rapier.
Round 8
No wolves enter the goblin camp, and no other goblins show their faces. You can see across the camp there are other prisoners locked within bone cages. Near them you can see where the less unfortuneate have been cut apart and their pieces used in rituals or maybe just food... Ewe!
The sound of wolves howls and the fight just outside the gate grows louder.
Round 8
"I don't see any wolves. Who are they attacking? Get the prisoners free, I'll head outside to lend aid where I can."
Thorn does not wish Aurkan good luck, remembering his vision about him. He doubted the big warrior needed it.
To Andrei's response, she nods. "Alright. Let her stay there then. There are more prisoners there in cages. If you can, free them or come help out at the front gate." She will look to Thorn in brief answer to him. "There are numerous wolves attacking that panther outside the gate, along with some of our team. Come on!"
She will dart that way to lend aid.
Andrei nods at his beloved and looks further into the camp to see two different cages with people inside. The cleric runs over to the first cage. In the next round, Andrei will attempt to free the prisoners.
Round 9
Andrei looks at the ropes tying the cages shut. Aukan lets the speedy goblin go and turns to block the wolves from getting to Pharos. Lilianne moves up through the gates and into the fray. Wolves are beginning to surround the panther but there are quite a few dead or dying wolves around it already.
Round 10
Aukan cleaves around him taking down the wolves around him.
Round 9
The cleric takes out his mithral dagger and begins to cut, hack, and slice the ropes tying the prison cage shut.
Round 9
With Aukan and the panther on the left, she will help Baahir and Aramyros out on the right/middle. However, it is too far for her to get her attack in, so she readies herself defensively for any attacks coming her way.
Round 9 and 10
Moving with all haste, Thorn finally makes it to the battle raging outside the gate.
With a howl, you see the leader of the pack its red eyes blazing for a moment before two arrows hit dead center on its head. It drops dead.
The other wolves scatter and soon, there is no more immediate targets.
Thorn gives a quick look around as the wolves flee.
"Everyone alright I guess."
"Did those come from Alia?" she asks, looking toward Thorn and then around them as she wonders about the arrows. She also observes how the cat fares as well.
Thorn smiles as he too assumed that they were from Alia.
"I would assume so. She's the only archer among us."
she responds nearly yelling, high in a tree 30 feet away in the woods, "Aye! Just putting arrows in animals!"
The large blue black panther chases after the wolves! It takes one wolf down each round. Though after a few rounds you can't see it anymore.
"I am going to see if I can find that magical goblin now!" With that announcement he quickly heads off along the wall to the west.
Waving to Alia in thanks for her shooting, Thorn looks at the closest person left.
"Is everyone so bloodthirsty?"
Watching the beasts tear off after others, she smirks to Thorn's comments and wonders herself. At the moment, if they can make up for their failures, all the better. She turns her focus on Andrei, who has either begun to free the prisoners or has done so already.
"Come, Thorn. Aramyros. Baahir. Let's get these people to safety."
Andrei continues to cut vines from makeshift cages to free those within.
"Âre you înjured? Cân you wâlk ouţ of here on your own power?"
The fat man nods and begins to help free the others.
