[QUOTE="JustinCase, post: 7358692, member: 6776182"] 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, [b]"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!"[/b] [/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. [ooc]Please make an attack roll for Thadius, with advantage. I have assumed the actions for Traubon and Gorir; if you feel they would react differently you are free to change it. Everybody, please roll for initiative.
