As Petra finally manages to put the recalcitrant warriors to rest, you have a moment of peace and quiet. But only a few hours later you hear something.
Perception 20
Roylenna
Perception
Ka'kara rolls out of her cot and grabs her blade preparing for the worst.
Roylenna puts a finger to her lips and moves to the door to listen in hopes of making out the words or at least the language.
They are speaking Goblin, and their squeaky voices indicate that they are indeed goblins, but you can't make out what they are saying.
After a little while they seem to be leaving.
Bah, I can't work in these conditions. I hope they won't disturb us again. If they do, we have to teach them a lesson. Ka'kara, Lie down and try to relax.
Ka'kara lies down but takes a while to relax, fidgeting with her greatsword until Petra gets annoyed and takes it away.
A few hours later they are indeed back but this time they have obviously brought reinforcements, for you hear something large and heavy thudding against the door (but not before they have broken a dagger in the lock while trying to pick it, so you have ample time to take up defensive positions.
And oh yeah, roll for initiative.
Mahaffy will take position near the door to flank the first goblin to enter
Roylenna would like to ready an action to cast Burning Hands when the door opens, but her initiative says it's not to be: Initiative 1d20+3=4
Initiative and cast CLW on Sandros CL2 Initiative 1d20=1 & 1d8+2=3
Does Petra have sufficient time to cast two spells?
Ka'kara is extremely slow and stiff from the effects of the wights drain....she'll drink her potion of bear's endurance if she has time.
We should have gone to an Inn. No peace and no wine.
The goblins seem to have a lot of trouble with the door so you have several rounds to cast spells if you like.
Initative
Felicia draws her sling staff and brings her hamonica to her mouth waiting to just before the door is caved in to start playing
Sandros readies himself for battle, but he can feel a tremor in his hands as he does so. Everything about this situation is bad, he thinks to himself. Only one exit, an unknown number of attackers, and our two lead warriors at our weakest...
Initiative (with neg level penalties) (1d20+2=22)
The tension of the situation seems to steel him somehow, though, as he rises to his feet and prepares for the onslaught. He moves to stand across the doorway from Mahaffy, trying to clear his weary and confused mind for a spell.
Mahaffy is humming the dwarf song
"Fifteen goblins'heads off their chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum"
When everyone is in position , he'll try to open the door just when the goblins are charging it ...
Channel Energy: 1d6=1
Cast CLW CL 2 (scroll): 1d8+2=4/url]
If there is time she will do this too.
chanel energy [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2261809/]1d6=4
cast Prot from evil on Ka'kara
Cast bless
Prot from evil (scroll)on her self.
Magic wepon (sroll) on Ka'kara
Just when they enter she will cast touch of good luck on Ka'kara or Sandros.
Ka'kara waits patiently at Roylenna's side to avoid getting in her burning hands way.
As the primitive ram finally bursts the door open, you see that it is wielded by a bugbear. The hairy brute kicks in the remains of the door while a number of goblins stream in through the opening.
AoO on the bugbear (Power Attack, flank, neg levels) (1d20+7=16, 1d6+5=11)
The half-elf's blade slashes twice, but his arcane-enhanced strike can find no purchase (though it does force Mahaffy to duck slightly).
Sneak attack on first goblin to enter ATT 18 Damage 12 + magical Axe
( Att + 3 + 2 Flanking + 1 Dwarf + 1 Bless )
Felicia Casts a sleep spell on the goblins as they force the door
Will save Dc 14 (up to 4 hitdice of goblins)
Petra initiative . 1d20=1.
But I don't know if it can be cast as a readied action, so I guess she cast it on her initiative. So that would be on one.
Sandros and Mahaffy each cuts down a goblin as they pass, but then the goblins retaliate. Mahaffy is hit for 6 points and Sandros for 2.
Roylenna, Petra, Ka'kara and Mahaffy are up, then the bugbear. There is a throng of goblins near the entrance. Mahaffy is beset by four and Sandros by three.

Roylenna casts Burning Hands on the three goblins that are clear of her friends. Burning Hands fire damage 3d4=5
One goblin succumbs to Roylenna's magic, but the other two are only slightly singed.
Mahaffy:
Ka'kara and Petra are up, then the bugbear.
Obviously quite angery, as she rages, about having her rest disturbed Ka'kara steps up to the goblins.
As pieces of goblin start flying everywhere the bugbear turns tail and runs. Three of the four surviving goblins fall asleep on the spot and the last one runs for his life.
"Hmm for an ambush a little anticlimactic don't you think?" Felicia says as she looks over the dead/sleeping/fleeing goblins "Ah well Guess Ill just double the number when I write about them."
Ka'kara chases after the bugbear, probably outpacing him easily.
BT:
Mahaffy looks at the axe in his hand with dismay
" Gahhh ! What's this ? It's worse than an hall of drunken dwarves singing off-key ! Don't you hear them ? "

Roylenna looks at Mahaffy with concern. "The goblins? They're just snoring... right?"
