D&D 5E (IC) (OneShot) JustinCase's Within The Circle

James makes a quick motion to the others as he sneaks through the door, he suddenly realised that they probably had no clue what it meant and the preachy woman couldn't even see. Moving in on his target he moves as quickly as he dares before slitting the sleeping creatures throat. Quickly James darts back to the door "In here quickly" he mutters.

Magdalena peered into the black room beyond and sighed. She heard goblin voices approaching from the way they had entered and pulled her greatsword from her back, readying herself. James snuck into the room, disappearing, and then reappeared, urging them inside.

Magdalena backed into the room slowly, unable to see anything. She posted up by the door.

Thadius heard the voices and hiss at those in front of him. "This way," he says moving back to the doorway as quietly as he can, tripping over stones and banging his shield into the wall as he tries to hide.

The sleeping goblin beneath the collapsed table looks up with big, frightened eyes as James slits its throat, the light slowly fading from its expression as it dies silently. Shaking off the image, the half-elf quickly moves back to the door and tries to get everyone in here. Magdalena steps inside the room and positions herself on the other side of the door, her sword ready to swing upon seeing a goblin silhouette.

Thadius, on the other hand, decides to surprise the newcomers in the kitchen and in his haste to set up his ambush, he trips over something in the gloom and crashes into the wall with his shield. In response, the arriving goblins shout something, seeming unconcerned.

[sblock=Traubon]The goblins yell, "Billik! Clumsy runt, don't spill our food!" "Yeah, we're hungry! Bring us a meal!" "A tasty one, or I'll gut you like a fish!" [/sblock]
The two dwarves stand conflicted for a moment as Thadius moves towards the entrance while James and Magdalena take their positions in the next room. Pressed for time and not wanting to be seen sneaking, on impulse they hide in the corner on the other side of the entrance.

Thadius waits until the first goblin has moved into the room, an armored creature standing rather tall for its race, carrying a wicked looking flail and a spiked shield, striding confidently towards the dining room. In his wake another goblin enters the kitchen, stooped, humbly outfitted in leather and lightly grasping a rusty scimitar; its beady eyes are constantly moving about nervously, and it chews on a piece of straw. It yells in surprise as Thadius attacks it, lifting its arm to block the tiefling's morningstar.

A third goblin is just behind it; a somewhat plump creature with one ear half gone from an old injury. It shrieks as Thadius appears, and on instinct the goblin takes a step back as it reaches for a scimitar, raising the weapon over its head as if preparing for a powerful strike.

James curses under his breath at the clumsiness of his companions and readies him self for the unsavoury act of a fair fight.
