Blackjack sneaks into the hallway and checks the next door for traps.

"This place cuid sure uise a lassies titch. Whisper, did ye happen tae bring a rug or some tapestries?" Hagar giggles, as he walks up to the next door and waits for Blackjack to either find traps or give the all clear to open the door. (edited)

"Did you not see me give that spider a 'lassie's titch?'" Whisper remarks. (edited)

"Oh aye, Whisper, that I did... that I did indeed." Hagar replies gleefully.

Angar approaches the far door and waits for Blackjack. He intends to open the door and have a look at whatever is on the other side axe at the ready. (edited)

@The Dude (Steve) turn = 1d6 {6} + 3d20 {19 10 10} = ✨ 45 ✨

Blackjack detects no traps on the door and gives the all clear. He then moves to the back of the party, as per the normal marching order. Angar opens the door and he and Hagar look through. There are no enemies in sight. Only a short North/South corridor, that then disappears around a corner back to the East. To the left (South) and directly ahead (West) are two more doors. Whisper sees no sign of pursuit from behind the party. Next Step First, describe your next actions, then second, roll .turn dice.

With his usual sarcasm, Hagar suggests to the group that Blackjack go quietly through the door and listen/peek around the northeast corner. If nothing is seen or heard he further suggests we listen at the south door and consider opening it before going further. Hagar’s logic is that we “dun’t want ta git caught frum behind - best ta clear these durs fur lookin’ fur mur treble.”

@OrganicNinja (Jason) turn = 1d6 {3} + 3d20 {11 2 13} = ✨ 29 ✨

Blackjack attempts to sneak through the door and use his mirror to check around the corner. While listening for anything.

Amethist nods at Hagar's plan, "It's worth our efforts." She waits and listens.

Angar suggests that he go with Blackjack into the next room as she looks and listens. “That way none of us is alone and if there is trouble, I can help you fight, or hold them back while you get the rest of the group.” (edited)

Blackjack and Angar move through the door. Blackjack looks around the corner with his mirror and sees that the hallway continues for 30 feet before turning left (North). He then moves to the south door and listens, but hears nothing unusual.

Next Step First, describe your next actions, then second, roll .turn dice.

Whisper, feeling indecisive, just waits at the back of the group, ready to follow the party's lead.

Angar attempts to open both the south and west doors to peer inside. Feeling impatient Angar says: “I think we ought to pick up the pace a bit.”

@The Dude (Steve) turn = 1d6 {4} + 3d20 {13 9 16} = ✨ 42 ✨

Blackjack sneaks to the hall heading north to check the corner with his mirror to look ahead. Whispering “Those doors probly won’t lead anywhere’s, less they have stairs.”

@Tygame88 turn = 1d6 {1} + 3d20 {4 17 16} = ✨ 38 ✨

"We may find something useful, but it's important we not be caught off guard either, " Amethist says quietly, waiting to hear what is seen by the others.

@scigrrl turn = 1d6 {1} + 3d20 {9 13 1

Hagar opens the door to the south and walks in axe at the ready. “Knock, knock… anyone home?”

Blackjack has separated himself from the party, and will not be able to tell the others what he sees down the corridor. Likewise, he will not know what the other party members see. In the following posts, I will use spoiler tags to hide information. Only reveal the text or images if your character can see or are adjacent to someone who can see and who can tell them what they see. In the next turn, you can decide whether to rejoin the party, or yell down the hallway if you wish

7:38 AM

@Tygame88, Blackjack sees the following: The hallway turns back to the left (west) again. There are 2 doors in the north wall, one near, and one at the end of the hallway. You hear voices, but you are not able to determine which door the voices are coming from.

@Sapakis, @The Dude (Steve), @scigrrl, and @OrganicNinja (Jason), your characters see the following: Angar opens the west door first. The room is empty except for a number of thin, jagged pieces of wood strewn across its dusty floor. Hagar opens the south door and enters. The room is empty except for a pile of debris in the center. From the doorway, it looks like several scraps of cloth and old, dusty feathers.

Blackjack thinks to himself, maybe I’ll catch them unawares, as he sneaks over to the 2 doors to check both for traps and listen in between both to determine which is better to use.

Not seeing anything of interest in either room, Whisper turns to head around the corner and down the hall.

@Sapakis turn = 1d6 {5} + 3d20 {18 18 17} = ✨ 58 ✨

Amethist moves so she can keep both parties in view, ready to call for aid if needed.

@scigrrl turn = 1d6 {3} + 3d20 {12 17 11} = ✨ 43 ✨

Hagar heads back out of the room and down the hall towards Blackjack. As he approaches he shouts “wha’d ye find laddie? Anuther room filled wit dust and bad memories? Cause the dis place is sure full o’ em!” (edited)

@OrganicNinja (Jason) turn = 1d6 {4} + 3d20 {14 16 18} = ✨ 52 ✨

Rolling for Angar, and assuming he moves with the rest of the party towards Blackjack

@Brucifer turn = 1d6 {6} + 3d20 {14 6 9} = ✨ 35 ✨

For Blackjack: You move to the first door, listening only briefly, and hear a lot of voices speaking in the Goblin language on the other side. You then move to the second door to listen, but don't get a chance to really hear anything because the rest of the party turns the corner, and Hagar shouts at you. As the rest of the party turns the corner, Hagar shouts at Blackjack, who you now see is further down the hall. Several things happen all at once. First, you see that there is a door in the hallway just to the north of you. It slams open, and you see a large group of goblins inside. Two are obviously guards who are now standing right in the doorway, and they attack Angar and Amethist who are the two closest to them. Second, you see that Blackjack is crouching at a second door further down the hallway, ear to the keyhole, listening to see if he can hear anything through it. Hagar's shout startles him, and he turns to look at the rest of the party. Third, behind Blackjack, at the end of the hallway, the stone wall moves, and a secret door opens and four goblins jump out and attack Blackjack from behind. Take a look at the map to see where everyone is standing. Because of your good Surprise rolls, no one is surprised enough that you can't attack or defend in the first round of combat. Hagar and Whisper will need to use missile weapons to attack in the first round.

7:12 AM

Once combat is over with, and assuming everyone survives ;), you'll have time for the group to join together and discuss what you saw while the party was separated. At that time you can all go back and reveal the spoilers. Next Step Describe your combat actions for two rounds, the 1st and 2nd. Then do a single .combat roll, and follow up with 2 damage rolls (e.g. /roll 2d6)

Blackjack attempts to use his short sword to stab the closest foe. Furiously trying to do as much damage as quickly as possible to whatever is moving closest to him.

Round 1: Goblin 2 attacks Amethist, and misses.

Goblin B attacks Blackjack, and hits for 1 point of damage.

Goblin A attacks Blackjack, but misses. Goblin 1 attacks Angar, but misses. Angar attacks Goblin 1, but misses. Amethist attacks Goblin 2, but misses. Whisper shoots at Goblin 1, but misses. ✨ Blackjack stabs at Goblin A, stabbing the evil monster in the chest, severely wounding him! ✨ Hagar's crossbow bolt misses Goblin B. Round 2: Goblin 1 attacks Angar, but misses. Blackjack stabs at Goblin A, but misses this time. Goblin 2 attacks Amethist, but misses. Goblin B attacks Blackjack, but misses this time. Hagar shoots his crossbow at Goblin B, but the bolt misses again. Amethist swings at Goblin 2, and misses again. Whisper's next shot at Goblin 1 also misses.

Angar's next swing with his battle axe cleaves Goblin 1 in half (he's dead!)

Another goblin, Goblin 3, steps into position where Goblin 1 was. Next Step: Describe your combat actions for two rounds, the 3rd and 4th. Then do a single .combat roll, and follow up with 2 damage rolls (e.g. /roll 2d6) - @The Dude (Steve), please roll 2d8 for your battle axe damage. (Your d6 roll did enough damage to kill the goblin, so I didn't re-roll for you) (edited)

Blackjack steps back to get closer to the group, while taking a flask of oil for his lantern to create a Molotov cocktail and throw it at goblin B. Seeing that his party is outnumbered. “Let’s see if the devils like to burn!” If the cocktail works then Blackjack intends to use his short bow while continuing back to create space. If it doesn’t work then continue with short sword. (edited)

Round 3: Goblin 2 is not able to land a hit on Amethist. Blackjack steps backward 5 feet and lobs a burning oil flask at Goblin B, who jumps forward 5 feet to avoid the splash of burning oil. Miss! Angar can't seem to land a hit through Goblin 3's defenses. ✨ Amethist's mighty swing connects with Goblin 2's shoulder, not its head, causing minor damage. ✨ Whisper fires another arrow at Goblin 3, and misses. Hagar's first crossbow shot misfires badly, he almost impales his own foot! Goblin B, perhaps distracted by having to jump away from the burning oil, is not able to hit Blackjack. Goblin 3 is not able to hit Angar.

Goblin A steps forward, following Blackjack, and strikes a severe blow for 6 hp to Blackjack (knocking him down to 0 hp), knocking him down and unconscious!

Round 4: Amethist swings again, but misses Goblin 2. Whisper shoots at Goblin 3, but misses again! Angar is also unable to hit Goblin 3. Hagar is able to reload his crossbow, but his shot flies wide and misses Goblin B. Goblins A, B, C, and D each advance 5 feet toward the party, C and D moving around the fire burning at the end of the corridor. Goblin A is now standing above Blackjack's unconscious form!

Goblin 2 hits Amethist hard, for 3 hp damage!

Goblin 3 tries his best, but is not able to hit Angar. Next Step: Describe your combat actions for two rounds, the 5th and 6th. Then do a single .combat roll, and follow up with 2 damage rolls (e.g. /roll 2d6). Sorry @Tygame88 there's not much you can do while unconscious!

Amethist and Hagar quickly swap places, and Whisper runs down the corridor past Angar and Amethist to attack. The goblins from the secret room also advance to attack. Round 5:

With her sling, Amethist throws a stone at Goblin B as he advances toward her. It is an amazing shot, the stone hits the goblin directly in the eye and embeds itself in his brain, instantly killing it. It's forward momentum brings it's collapsed body to a rest at her feet!

Whisper's furious attack finishes off Goblin A, who falls dead on the floor next to Blackjack!

Goblin 3 fumbles his attack against Angar so badly, that he drops his rusty sword, and will lose his chance to attack next round as he dodges Angar's attacks and attempts to pick up his weapon again. Goblin 2 is a bit confused by Amethist leaving and Hagar suddenly appearing in front of him, so his attacks miss Hagar. Hagar and Angar both are unable to connect on their attacks against Goblins 2 & 3 (edited)
