Think you can keep these guys under control while we search for Babs?

Dolan starts searching the area for Babs' trail.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

"We will help you find your Babs," Raphaeleos assures Xila. "You can stay here with the other young dinosaurs and we'll search the place for clues of where could Babs have gone into."

Raphaeleos starts searching the place with others for clues as to where Babs went.

Perception +4

Very worried for the cute baby dinosaur, Dulcinea looks for the little stegosaurus as carefully as she can with her half elven eyes
+6 to Perception

"Can anyone track ? We need to follow whomever broke the fence and captured babs"

"Can anyone track ? We need to follow whomever broke the fence and captured babs"

Based on Hamish's Survival roll from the previous page, I would say he has located the tracks, but I don't know for sure

"I like you Hamish. You remind me of a dear, departed broodmate."

Pasq follows Hamish, who clearly knows what he is doing.

"We should find the small one. Before someone either turns it into a savage, rampaging beast or roasts it over an open fire." He might be joking.

Hamish finds tracks and follows them. Based on the lay of the land, he discerns that they lead to a specific hill nearby. He also notices the tracks of another dinosaur near the camp. As you climb the hill, you start hearing insults being shouted in goblin.

The Area Map is now linked on the top of the page.

With bow in hand, Hamish focuses on the tracks. He points out the unknown dinosaur tracks to everyone. "Doesn't seem to be a predator, since there was no attack, and the little one is still walking, but we should be alert."

He notes Pasqualek's comments with a grunt, looking over to him only briefly. After a moment, he chooses to respond. "We will find her, one way or another, and deal with the situation as needs be."

He considers the kobold for a moment. "I apologize if I seem distant, Pasqualek. My community experienced raids by kobold tribes in the past. It takes time to get used to the modern era and more cosmopolitan kobolds. At least you aren't a gob..."

Hamish breaks off as the gutteral insults start pouring in. "Cave ahead, though I can't say if it would be safety from being out in the open or just lead us into more danger. Does anyone speak Goblin?"

Aye, I do. He's angry that he got a small one. I'm guessing he set them all loose trying to get away with at least one in the confusion.

"Don't speak goblin. Never had the need. Kobolds who serve chromatic dragons tend to be nasty pieces of work. I might sneak to the cave. Sound OK?" He looks around, hoping to get a response.

Hamish attempts to pinpoint the direction the voices are coming from. Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Nodding to Dolan, he asks. "So, it sounds as if Babs is still alive, then? Perhaps you can talk them into turning her over to us? Avoiding violence is always best."

Hamish stands ready to cover anyone's actions.

Never been known as a charmer, but I can talk to the bugger at least. Best hurry over before he decides to do something to the wee one.

I am very, very, very good with social interactions she says with a flourish.

Raphaeleos nods in agreement to Pasqualek for him to sneak towards the cave.

"That noisy goblin could have Babs with it. Poor, young dino. We need to rescue her!" Raphaeleos laments, whispering. His heart melts for the young stegosaurus. He starts looking around for any sign of Babs, and the noisy goblin. He raises his shield just in case they are attacked, and readies his sling loaded with a bullet.

Perception +4
+1 to AC for shield raised

Pasq will sneak towards the cave. Stealth +6

Dolan pulls his dagger and sneaks along with Pasq.
Stealth +5

Marie will move towards the sound as well, drawing her rapier.

She prepares herself for the upcoming encounter, practicing her dance steps.

The Area Map is posted. Please move yourselves accordingly

Raphaeleos hastily sneaks as well behind Dolan and Marie.

Hamish keeps his eyes open and continues covering the party while waiting for the goblins to reveal themselves.

As you near the top of the hill, you start seeing find gruesome decorations framing the lair’s entrance. Bones and body parts of various animals hang from ropes and sinew in front of crude paintings of dried blood depicting the skeletons of mammoths and dinosaurs. When you ascend to the top of the slope, you see Babs, tightly lashed to a massive wooden stake a short distance west, toward the hill’s face. The hatchling is unharmed, but frightened. He strains against his restraints and begins letting out throaty cries when he sees you.

"The kidnapper is not in the cave. I think we are going to end up fighting!" Pasq prepares himself to fight by drawing a dagger.

They have scared this baby dinosaur, we need to keep them from doing such a thing to any other creature says the half elf, a tone of anger in her voice.

Seeing Babs, it melts Raphaeleos' heart seeing the little dinosaur in its miserable condition despite his previous encounter with them and almost hating them. He talks to it in whispers, trying to be heard. He approaches the young stegosaurus cautiously at a distance.

”Babs, we're here to help. Who did this to you, huh? Tell us.”

Not seeing anyone near the baby Dolan goes on alert, pulling his dagger and searching the area. He knows he heard someone.

Perception +6

Marie moves towards babs, following the group.

She does not look hurt does she?

Pasq sneaks closer for a better look and to peak around the corner. +6 Stealth again and +3 Perception.

As Pasq sneaks around the corner, he hears a loud voice in heavily accented common, preceded by a sniffling noise.

"OHO Little One! I know you're there! You will make good eating for my new pack!!"

Pasq immediately starts muttering divine words.

"Marie! Now is your time! Take my blessings!"
◆

He then makes an intricate set of gestures with his hands

◆

...targeting Marie again.

"I shall channel my power through you!"

Curse to moderate...

"Yes! I feel my power growing! It flows out into the world!" He seems to be pleased with this.

He raises his voice once more and casts:

◆ Parry (+1 AC)

The bard moves up, closer to the action, her heeled boots pounding and her voice begins to sing an inspiring song
Soy un hombre muy honrado
Que me gusta lo mejor
Las mujeres no me faltan
Ni el dinero, ni el amor
Jineteando en mi caballo
Por la sierra yo me voy
Las estrellas y la luna
Ellas me dicen donde voy

Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay mi amor
Ay, mi morena
De mi corazón
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay mi amor
Ay, mi morena
De mi corazón

You and all allies in the area gain a +1 status bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, and saves against fear effects.

She then casts shield on herself

Its head hurting from Raphaeleos' mental attack, Bluey immediately withdraws and runs away, much to Glorzia's displeasure. Marie's attack opens a deep wound in Glorzia's arm, but the creature is not affected.

Pasq sends some much needed healing energy at Dolan while Dulcinea shoots a pair of glowing missiles at Glorzia, which hit her in the chest and causing the smell of burnt fur.

Marie, I still need 2 Fort saves from you.

Hamish sees Dolan go down, but before he can even begin to reach for his healer's tools, Pasqualek's healing revives the dwarf.

Angrily, Hamish moves forward and sends a bolt of divine energy at the goblin. "Kidnapping is not enough?! You compound that by attacking us?! Vile Beast!"
