Adrian moves over to the room next to the hallway. It was there where he heard footprints.

"So... who wants to go out in front?" he asked. "Because once we go through, not all of us would be able to hit them. I don't have any arrows on me."

Caine smiles at Adrian's question. The Magus prepares to enter first...

Assumming it has been a minute since he cast Shield? AC 16 FF 14 then...

"These goblins have been launching fireworks at us; we should at least see if we can find where they have their stash," suggests Aiko. "As Zaraleva suggested, I could try going into a window or checking other building by stealth. If they have more... we don't want to leave them with the fireworks, because they'll just use them against travelers."

Adrian grimaces at the thought, but slowly shifts his body as he comes round. "Alright. But be careful out there."

"Maybe check more for tracks, see if you can pin down where these attackers came from and went while I'm searching," suggests the kunoichi.

Zaraleva double moved to almost keep up with the door-kicker-openers.

Other than the two goblins banging on the double doors in front on the largest hut in the corner of the village, no other activity is noticed.

A search of the village shows a lot of tracks in the mud; however, the skeleton tracks appear to have came from the pond. The footprints went in a straight line through it.

Caine confronts the two door-banging goblins.
So. Who's in there?

As Caine asks the question, the two goblins shriek and jump off the walkway and tear off towards the pond.

Caine shrugs. He checks to see if the door is locked.
Anyone good with locks?

Aiko seems to materialize from around a corner with a tension bar in hand.

"You rang?"

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Always start by searching for traps.

Disable Device: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Aiko checks the double doors for traps and does not find any. She does notice that the doors are barred on the inside. Using her Wakizashi, she slips it between the two doors and lifts the piece of wood barring the doors closed. With a flick of her wrist the wood rolls off her sword and falls to the ground.

Caine smiles at Aiko.
Well played! Now, are we ready to enter?

He holds up 3...2....1....

Adrian looked back in disbelief. "Where did you...

But before he could come to his senses, the door was unlocked.

"Better late than never." He replied to Caine, temple sword up in anticipation.

Beastbrother readies his earth breaker, ”Ready.”

@Everyone should position their character on the map before you open the door.

Caine opens the door to reveal a room where the walls are decorated with numerous poorly preserved horse and dog heads, along with other trophies like broken weapons, brine pickled bodies of brutally slaughtered furry animals, and other bits of grisly ephemera. A rickety, 5-foot-tall wooden chair with a ladder built into the side sits against the southern wall.

Four goblins lie in wait in this room, one of which is adorned with an elaborate headdress wearing a shiny chain shirt and wielding a longbow with a nasty spear strapped to its back.

The Chief takes an arrow from a quiver on his back and fires it at Caine.

Chief attack: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 2 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 1 + 2 - 2 - 4 = 16
Chief damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 1 = 7

The arrow pierces Caine in the chest protruding from his armor. The Chief draws a second arrow and fires it at Aiko.

Chief attack: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 2 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 1 + 2 - 2 - 4 = 16
Chief damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5

The second arrow duplicates the effect of the first on the other target.

Ashlana and Aiko are up.

Roll: 1d20 ⇒ 6

Aiko takes the hit from the arrow, lets out an "unf," hurls a shuriken haphazardly and scrambles out of the line of fire.

Caine takes the arrow in his chest with a bit of aplomb. The Magus turns his blue eyes from the arrow (quite literally sticking in his chest) to the goblin chief holding the bow.
That f~%*ing hurts! My gods man! Is that how you treat guest? I was told goblin hospitality was still around! Ha!

He gives a weak thumbs up to those still outside.
Ok. So, do not get hit by that guy.

Botting Ashlana

Ashlana will move into the spot vacated by Aiko and cast Misfortune on the Chief.

Chief Will DC 13: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

The Chief looks at Ashlana and is taken in my her magic.

The red goblin moves behind the blue one and launches a firework at Ashlana.

Red Firework: 1d20 ⇒ 9

Ashlana ducks and the candle soars over her head into the mud next to Walthus.

The blue and green goblins move up and attack Ashlana and Caine with their dogslicers.

Blue attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
Blue damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Green attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
Green damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Both goblins weave through the respective defenses - opening small wounds on their arms/chest.

Caine, Beastbrother, Adrian and Zaraleva are up

(I'm assuming you mean that the four of us can go in any order, since we are all after the goblins. Brilliant!)

Zaraleva calls upon the healing mercies of Sarenrae to undo the evil that has been done to those within thirty feet. Then she loads the crossbow.

channel energy for healing: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Everyone heals 2hp.

Caine feels a bit better after the warmth of healing is given. He nods to Zaraleva; he squares his shoulders, and he swiftly calls on his arcane magic to infused his fence post before striking at Green.
Melee Improvised Weapon, arcane +1: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 1 = 131d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 = 6

Caine's post is blocked by green's shield.

He was already fully healed, but the relief on his face indicated that he at least appreciated the healing. As for his next move, he jabbed at one of the goblins in an attempt to stun him.

Stunning Fist: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

The green goblin dodges Adrian's fist.

Beastbrother is left to go in this Round

Without an opening to get into the room, Beastbrother holds until one opens up.

Delaying until someone's able to move out of the way.

Caine really wants to use his move action...so AoO! Either way creates an opening...lol.

Caine moves down by the gnome.

Green AoO: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

The green goblin swings at Caine as he moves away but Caine dodges the dogslicer attack. The blue goblin seems focused on the magic Ashlana used on the Chief and misses out on the opportunity to attack.

Beastbrother moves into the vacated space and is clear to attack either goblin.

Be sure to update the map so everyone knows where you went Caine.

Botting Beastbrother

Beastbrother moves up to the green goblin and swings his mighty earth breaker.

EB attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

The wild swing is ducked and the earth breaker smashes into the wall opening a small hole.

The powerful swing catches the Chief's attention and he lets loose a couple of arrows at Beastbrother.

Since he is hexed with Misfortune, he will take the worse of the following two rolls.

Chief longbow: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 2 - 2 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 9 + 1 + 2 - 2 - 4 - 4 = 15
Chief longbow: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 2 - 2 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 9 + 1 + 2 - 2 - 4 - 4 = 13 <= Using this roll

The first arrow wizzes by the cavalier's head sailing into the mud beyond.

Chief longbow: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 2 - 2 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 1 + 2 - 2 - 4 - 4 = 18
Chief longbow: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 2 - 2 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 1 + 2 - 2 - 4 - 4 = 12 <= Using this roll

Ashlana's magic effects the second shot which goes over Beastbrother's head.

Ashlana and Aiko are up.

@Ashlana Since you had to move last round, you were unable to Cackle and thus extend the Misfortune hex on the Chief. You may attempt to hex him again and Cackle as well. I will allow a 5' step to fall into the mud. If you choose to do so, you will need to make a DC 15 Reflex save to avoid becoming prone. Since Caine is right behind you, he can also make a DC 15 Reflex save to "catch" you can keep you from falling prone. If either case, you will land in the square directly behind Beastbrother.

Botting Ashlana. Casting Misfortune of the Chief again and Cackling. She 5' steps back and attempts to land on her feet.

Chief Will DC 13: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

Ashlana's hexes the Chief once again - this time extending the duration.

Ashlana Reflex DC 15: 1d20 ⇒ 6

As she steps back, Ashlana loses her balance and falls the 5' to the ground.

Caine may back a Reflex save to keep Ashlana from becoming prone. Not sure what Aiko would do - so she can take her turn after the Goblins.

The blue goblin takes a 5' step and attacks Beastbrother.
The green goblin already in fighting position attacks as well.

Blue Goblin attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Green Goblin attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Beastbrother ready for action deflects one attack and dodges the other.

The red goblin launches a firework at the cavalier as well.

Red Goblin firework: 1d20 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (12) - 4 - 4 = 4

The firework sails over everyone's head and lands in the rubble behind them.

Everyone else is up

Apologies; but does Caine notice another entrance to that Building from his current vantage point?

Caine looks up to see Ashlana falling toward him.
reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Caine fails to catch Ashlana but does notice a ladder ascending at the back of the hut.

Caine whistles nonchalantly, as he misses his catch!
Ooo, that looks like it hurt. Good news; we can go up that ladder to get inside.

He grins.

"We'll be right there with you in a minute."

Adrian sought to reassure Ashlana before getting to work on the goblin before him.

Flurry 1 on green: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Flurry 2 on green: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Adrian's second attack lands slices into the goblin and opens a large gash on its chest - it slumps over.

Zaraleva fires the crossbow at the blue goblin and then reloads.

crossbow into melee: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (13) - 2 = 111d8 ⇒ 8

Since the doorway is crowded and nobody's going in, Aiko stays outside rather than risk cluttering up the battle space while a bigger warrior could step into the fray.

Total defense.

Beastbrother and Caine to go before Chief. Caine's failed attempt to catch Ashlana was a reaction. He still has his full turn to use.

Caine will attempt to use the ladder up to the chamber.

Caine moves over to the ladder and ascends to find a secret door leading into the hut. He discovers the door is not locked.

Caine will check for traps then open it if safe...ish. Probably next turn though since 2 moves to get there and up?

Beastbrother takes a mighty swing at the goblin in front of him.

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 1) + 6 = 8

Beastbrother's hammer lands squarely on the blue goblin's head - crushing its skull and driving its body off the walkway into the mud beyond.

@Beastbrother: You may move after your attack and become adjacent to the Chief.

Going to assume Beastbrother moves up into a position to attack the Chief.

As Beastbrother moves up, the Chief drops his bow and grabs his spear. He attempts to stab at him with it.

Chief spear attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 2 = 9 <= Taking the worst due to Misfortune
Chief spear attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 5 + 2 = 17

The power of Ashlana's curse effects the Chief's lunge with his spear as it misses Beastbrother to his side.

You guys ready? I found another way into that hut.

"Show the way!"

Delaying to see the alternative way in.

Botting Ashlana...

Ashlana will Cackle to continue her hex on the Chief and stands up.

With the approach of Beastbrother, the red goblin drops the wooden tube it was holding and draws its dogslicer. It swings at Beastbrother.

Red attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Red damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

With its Chief threatened, the goblin slices into Beastbrother.

Caine opens the door and finds a 5 foot square room with no apparent exits other than the one he just opened.

With closer inspection, he finds secret doors in both the northern and eastern walls.

Everyone but Ashlana is up

Zaraleva moves to the doorway and fires into melee at the red goblin.

crossbow: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (4) - 2 = 21d8 ⇒ 3

"Good news! I didn't hit Beastbrother!"

With one goblin down, he drew his attention to the chief himself. Adrian moves past Beastbrother and begans to land body blows at the goblin.

Flurry 1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Flurry 2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Caine opens the Northern door...Hello?
