D&D 5E Lost Mine of Phandelver - CG

[Thateous]

Lupin puts his finger in his mouth, then up his nose, then in the air. He the sticks his nose as high into the air as he can as he sniffs around. He then makes a stank face and draws his bow before saying in goblin, "I wanna play! I wanna play!"

 

[River Song]

Not prepared for the prospect of violence, Brother Lantern looks about. "Does anyone have a spare bow I could borrow?"

 

[Charwoman Gene]

Evelyn can identify the horses as belonging to Gundren Rockseeker and Sildar Hallwinter. The saddlebags have been looted. Nearby lies an empty leather map case.

Brother Lantern, you see two small humanoids in the edge of the forest to the west. Salazar, you see three small humanoids at the edge of the forest to the east. Everyone hears a loud snapping branch noise followed by a curse in the goblin tongue.

Taking cover in the wagon, Jax peaks out enough to see the goblins on the left side of the road. He grins, finally having a target for his spells. He holds a hand out, feeling the power uncurl from inside him. He lets the pressure build, then fires it at the nearest goblin on the left.

OOC: Attack: [roll0]. Damage: [roll1]

Salazar

Salazar secures the animals and makes himself ready to run to his isolated companion.

Lupin throws his shortbow at Brother Lantern as he dashes for the enemy. He circles behind the goblin, draws his two short swords, and says in goblin,"Me wanna play too!"

(oops, I hadn't realized we'd started!)

For the 1st 1/2+ of the trip Roy has been sitting in the back of the wagon making small talk & nursing a bottle or two of ale.
It's a long ride through secure enough country. There's no use in getting all worked up early.
As the group nears Phandalin though Roy becomes more business like & alert. Switches his seating to the right hand side of the drivers bench (two squares above the N in wagon), loads his hand xbow, & makes sure his shield is in position for quick use. He's expecting trouble.
So it comes as no surprise to him when the dead horses are seen.

"GOBLINS! At 1, 3 & 5 o-clock!"

As soon as the goblins are seen Roy yells the warning & leaps off the wagon, moving 25' straight right on map, shoots goblin #5 in the face at about the 20"mark, and dropping the xbow & drawing his short sword continues to move 5' more into contact with goblin #4, intending to dispatch it as well.

1st = perception 2nd = initiative: 1D20+3 = [12]+3 = 15
1D20+3 = [17]+3 = 20

Attack roll vs goblin #5: 1D20+5 = [20]+5 = 25

damage roll vs goblin #5: 2D6+3 = [2, 5]+3 = 10

So: Perception = 15
Initiative = 20
Attack roll vs goblin #5 = 25/crit
Damage vs goblin #5 = 10

Two of the goblins fire arrows at Brother Lantern and Evelyn, but the arrows sail by harmlessly.
One goblin swings a scimitar at Lupin as he approaches, but fails to connect.
The final live goblin deals Roy a wicked slice which gets through his armor. He is gravely wounded.
