Ashlana does not detect any magic from her position near the pond. She moves into the yard with the mud pit - still no magic - no sounds either.

Z moved up, still covering.

With a small no, Alan opens the door and continues down the hallway.

Adrian moves down the walkway which ends in a door to another hut.

Caine continues to provide rearguard.

Anyone else moving while Adrian, Zaraleva and Caine are using the walkway?

Ashlana hurries to follow behind them, still casting Detect Magic under her breath as they go further in.

Beastbrother tells Tunalin to stay outside before hefting his earth breaker and following along.

Ashlana still does not detect any magic. Adrian is at the door to another hut. It is closed.

Caine--whistling nonchalantly--walks up to the door; and knocks.
Excuse us; but we thought you looked in trouble?

He smiles at the group....

Walthus follows closely behind the cavalier bow at the ready.

Aiko turns back and flashes something with her hands - some kind of sign language.

Adrian shrugged his shoulders and mouths without speaking something along the lines of 'I don't know what that even means'.

Caine politely knocks on the door again. The ever affable youth calls out.
We would like to offer to help; but we need to know what happened here.

Diplomacy(Cha): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

There is no response to Caine's knock.

Room 6 or 7?

Maybe open the door just a crack? Do any of you speak Goblinoid?

She gives a confused shrug to Aiko.

Aiko shakes her head in the negative.

"Now that they know we are here, I am fairly certain that the goblins are holed up in that room. If you kick down that door we will likely have a fight on our hands. My guess is that the goblins are still nervous and bunkered-down because of their run-in with whatever led to that charnel pit out front."

Zaraleva tries a calm, sweet voice. Hello in there? Where are the skeletons? We plan to smash them to little bits!

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

You hear the sound of a door opening and some hushed footsteps moving away from you.

Ashlana shakes her head. Unfortunately not," she whispers quietly. "Walthus. Skeletons, pigs, burned bodies... Does any of this make sense to you?"

Out loud, she calls out as the footsteps move away, "If you promise to leave our caravans alone, we will help destroy whatever has attacked you and avenge your fallen friends!"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

There is no response to Ashlana's diplomatic assurance.

"I think they decided to move away." With that Adrian willed himself to press onward with the group.

Caine shrugs.
I suggest we leave them be; search the grounds and not the homes; unless provoked.

The Magus proceeds to start at the outside Green.

Move your characters where you want to search the grounds. Give me Perception checks as you move around.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

She's not going to pass the door-opener, but she will look and listen.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

Caine makes his way back to ground level. He curiously picks up a sharpened wood post laying about; looks it over a bit, nodding his head in satisfaction, before entering the green.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

As Adrian enters the hut he spots a group of three goblins moving away down the walkway one of them appears to be setting up some sort of firework to launch in his direction. The hut he just entered appears to be a lookout hut of some kind.

Goblin's Initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Adrian with your perception roll you will be able to act in the surprise round. If you beat their initiative you can act before the firework launches. Everyone else can roll their initiative to determine when they act in the first round.

Init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

I guess we're not getting answers, but she will shout, "Wait, don't shoot!"

Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Adrian on the other hand was ready for such manners of diplomacy to fall apart. "Incoming!"

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Caine sadly shakes his head...

Ashlana's head whips around at Zaraleva and Adrian's shouts.

Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Beastbrother hefts his earthbreaker, ready to fight.

One of the three goblin lights a very short fuse connected to a foot long wooden tube. Out of the tube shoots a flaming pyrotechnic "candle" at Adrian.

Pyrotechnic attack: 1d20 ⇒ 9

It is obvious that the proper handling/firing of the pyrotechnics is not something that this goblin has become proficient with. The "candle" sails wide to the west of Adrian landing outside of the entire village.

Initiative Order:

Beastbrother
Zaraleva
Goblins
Aiko
Caine
Adrian
Ashlana

Beastbrother is up

FYI: Walthus will act only if threatened

Beastbrother charges down the hall, hammer ready.

Looks like I can move to the goblins with a double move.

Zaraleva is up

Zaraleva makes only a single move and fires wildly down the hall, past Beastbrother. (-2 cover penalty?)

Crossbow-cover: 1d20 ⇒ 4

"That was your last warning shot! Don't fight us!"

The blue and red goblins swing at Beastbrother while the green goblin attempts to move through Beastbrother's space using a daring acrobatic maneuver. Beastbrother will get an AoO on the Green goblin.

The goblins are all armed with dogslicers.

Red Attack: 1d20 ⇒ 4

From the ladder, the red goblin is unable to get into a good fighting position, its attack is easily deflected by Beastbrother.

Blue Attack: 1d20 ⇒ 20
Blue Confirm: 1d20 ⇒ 4

The blue goblin's attack however lands on an exposed part of his right arm.

Blue Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Green Acrobatics: 1d20 ⇒ 20

With a bold and daring jump while Beastbrother was deflecting the red goblin's attack, the green goblin lands behind Beastbrother and attacks him.

Green Attack: 1d20 ⇒ 19
Green Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

The green goblin's dogslicer opens a wound on Beastbrother's left leg.

Everyone else is up for Round 1

Aiko mutters something inaudible to herself as she backtracks and dashes over to the ladder on the east side of the structure, since she can't squeeze through to the interior while the narrow hallways are blocked.

Double move.

Caine--lost and alone--wonders the yard; looking for any more actual trouble.
perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

"Dammit."

Adrian bursts through the door to see a goblin currently attacking Zaraleva, motioning her to get behind him.

Ashlana moves swiftly through the room towards the others. Stopping just inside the next the room, her eyes lock onto one of the goblins surrounding Beastbrother.

Hand feeling for her cards for comfort in another tense situation, she mutters a curse under her breath as she stares daggers at the attacking goblin.

Move: 30 ft. Standard: Targeting green goblin with Misfortune Hex, Will save dc 13.

Green Will DC13: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (6) - 3 = 3

As you get closer to the goblins you can tell they are visibly shaken, yet are blindly fighting you anyway. The green goblin has been cursed, it is not long for this world.

Other than the skirmish at the west side of the village, the remainder is still quiet. Caine does not notice any other activity.

Round 1 is over. Round 2 begins with Beastbrother.

Caine looks around. He shrugs his shoulders, as he notices Aiko. He joins her.
So, what's new?

The Magus smiles.

Beastbrother obviously delays long enough for Zaraleva to drop her crossbow, draw her scimitar and provide flanking.

She swings, somewhat halfheartedly.
Scimitar of Sarenrae: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 181d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Please add 2 for flanking, if applicable.

"I see you, Adrian, but I can't move yet. Sorry."

Zaraleva's swing cuts open a gaping wound on the goblin's back. It slumps to the floor.

Beastbrother swings at the goblin in front of him blue. Though surrounded by foes in the thick of combat, he maintains his cool, detached demeanor.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 1) + 6 = 13
