Zumii will move to F15 & try to aid in freeing Lia, as she is the closest.

1d4+1
1d20+1
Ahh in that case Zumii will move along to D11
When the action comes up I'll counter attack then... rolling a 7 & a 17. Sheesh, feast or famine isn't it?
That's a 9 attack with 7 damage and a 19 with 8 damage for the second.

The entangling spell erupts in the middle of the battlefield grabbing Salm who is stuck on the spot. Thosys is able to move off out of the effect and fire another shot at the goblin battling Hadrian but his shot goes wide. Attempting to get into a better position both Tobias and Zumii move closer to the island staying clear of the writhing vines and leaves while they do so.
Finally, Lia escapes from the vines and fires a shot which sails between Hadrian and the goblin he is fighting to slam into Whitechin's chest. The goblin howls in pain but begins to cast almost immediately. As soon as he finishes a thick white mist comes out of nowhere to envelope the island and surrounding land. For those on the mainland, nothing can be seen on this island as the obscuring mist slowly spreads out towards the mainland...
Salm will trudge through the grasping foliage directly south ending in M19. He'll fire at Whitechin again.
Shortbow: to hit entangled
Shortbow: damage
Thosys just remembered that certain spells have durations greater than instant, they sometimes have areas of effect too. I gotta get out of here, and I really need to figure out what is going on on the island now. He stops at the waters edge, trying to figure out what is going on.
Zumii will move to E6 to see if she can take note of what is happening over on the island. When she passes Lia & Tobia's she says "My friends, what in the world is happening over there?!"
OK, time to take down another goblin, with a one two body blow.
Attack 1) 12 + 2 = 14, dmg 8
Attack 2) 9 + 2 = 11, dmg 7
Hopefully he goes down so we can turn our attention further inland.

As the misty cloud spreads out over the island and surrounding area, the party continues to move about the battlefield. Salm manages to get free of the entanglement but the last nagging vestiges of the vines throw off his attack sending his arrow well wide of the obscured target.
Hadrian is also thrown off by the mist and the goblin is able to avoid both of his attacks. The goblin retaliates but is equally hampered missing wildly. At the same time the goblin who feel asleep awakens and gets to its feet as it grabs its dogslicer.
As Hadrian prepares to deal with two goblins, he notices Lia landing right behind him. Had he not been right next to her he would not have noticed her at all. Her leap across the moat was silent as was her landing. Moving towards the altar she notes that Whitechin is nowhere to be seen. The girl, covered in strange painted runes all over her body, strains at her bonds as Lia approaches.
Meanwhile back on the other side of the moat, both Zumii and Tobias note the movement of someone racing across the bridge and towards the wall of undergrowth at the edge of the clearing. Looking closer they see Whitechin clutching a gnarled staff which he points at the pair cackling as he speaks, "You'll suffer my wrath, oh yes. I will find you and yours and make you pay!" With that he somehow passes right through the undergrowth like it is not even there.
Zumii heads over area in which she saw Whitechin disappear. She draws her weapon & steps carefully unsure of what could happen next.
Salm takes the time to move around to the other side. He'll double move until he encounters opposition.

Lia carefully approaches the girl, wary of goblins striking from the mist. Once there she makes quick work of the bonds with her rapier and sees if she can stand and walk on her own, indicating she be quiet by putting a finger to her own lips.
The girl listens dutifully and stops her struggle, her eyes still wide with fear but now with a glimmer of hope.

As Zumii gets to the spot where Whitechin entered the underbrush she sees it is as thick as the rest of the area. Even accounting for his small size, the goblin should not have been able to pass through this so easily. Zumii estimates it would take some time to hack her way through it.

Thosys knows he has to get over the moat, somehow. He takes a few steps back, runs and jumps. And he really, really hopes he makes it.
Jump (I'm using a straight strength check) 1d20+1
Thosys takes a running jump but slips the dewy edge of the moat. He manages to get halfway across the expanse before splashing into the slimy moat. Immediately, he feels the flesh on his face begin to burn as the green slime begins to devour his flesh.
Salm thinks that Thosys probably feels a bit foolish until Thosys starts to yell. He quickly does a mental inventory and realizes he doesn't have any rope. "Oh hell."
Zumii hears a commotion behind her & spots Thosys thrashing about in the moat. Zumii rushes over to ledge nearest to Thosys, drops her backpack to the ground & starts to search for some rope.
So, my understanding is that there is still one goblin in front of me, correct?
Attack 1) roll 5, won't bother with damage
Attack 2) roll 18, damage 8

With a final punch, Hadrian is able to take down the last that crumples at his feet. As he finishes off the goblin he finds Thosys dragging himself on shore, his clothing smoldering away as the slime eats through his robes.
With all the opposition defeated or having retreated the battle is over.
Salm takes a quick look to see if the goblins had anything of value then leaves.

Lia leads the girl carefully from the mist and across the bridge. Seeing no further threats she runs quickly to rejoin Zumii, Salm, and Tobias. To the girl, "Are you hurt?" To Tobias, "Your a healer right? I think she is ok but you may want to make sure." Suddenly standing up straight and glancing around, "Wait, where are Hadrian and Thosys?!"
Salm calls out. "Ok everyone, we got what we came for. Let's get out of here."

The group reconvenes on the other side of the bridge, the still smoldering Thosys looking a little bare in the wind. The mist begins to dissipate allowing Salm to do a quick search of the goblin bodies. He notes that they are covered with ritualistic tattoos but finds that their items are rather plain. The dogslicers are well taken care of which is unusual but otherwise unnoteworthy. Each goblin does however carry a purse containing 15 silver pieces.
As Salm conducts his search Lia takes the girl to Tobias and Zumii. Tobias kneels down getting at eye with the girl and smiles warmly, "Well, that was a bit of a fright, wasn't it? No need to worry now, though. My friends and I will keep you safe. My name is Tobias and I am a doctor. I just wanted to check to see if you have any injuries. Do you have any pain anywhere? Would it be okay if I checked you over? Just let me know if you are uncomfortable but I promise it won't hurt a bit and will only take a moment."
The girl nods quickly her eyes still wide. Moving slowly Tobias proceeds to check her over careful not to make sudden movements. Before standing up, he says, "There, all done. See, I told you it wouldn't hurt."
Turning to the others, he says,"Other than some bruising and rope burn she is fine physically. Mentally, she's had quite a shock today. The sooner we get her out of here and back to her family the better."
Hearing that the girl squeezes Lia's hand and looks up at her and says in a quiet voice, "I miss my Mommy. I want to go home."
"Let's get out of here. But stay sharp. We're not out of the woods yet." Salm takes point and leads the group back the way they came.

Turning your attention to leaving the garden, the group notes that the skies have grown darker and soon a heavy rain begins to fall. The grass becomes slick as water begins to turn the pathways into a murky soup. Slogging your way through, you reach the entrance. Peering out through the thick rain, you notice that the alleyway you entered from appears to have had some sort of barricade pulled across it..
Zumii follows the others & tries to peer over their shoulders to see if she can make out what the barricade is.
What's the barricade made from? Can we climb it?
I'm unharmed & I think Thosys may be healed up from the healing potion. Salm have you got a CLW potion for your wounds?
I asked the question and never looked to see if I was injured. Yes, I can chug a potion to take care of my damage.

A closer inspection of the barricade reveals it to be about 15 high and made of various pieces of rubble and broken lumber. It's as if someone scavenged pieces from nearby buildings to put this in place. Peering more closely at the structure you can see figures moving behind it and the chattering of goblins trying to be quiet but failing miserably.
Salm motions for the group to draw away from the barricade so that they may talk without the goblins hearing. "Maybe we can find another section of wall to go over." He suggests.
