Strahd's Goblinoid mini campaign "Yar Gock

[Rhun]

Nerrak crouches in the shadows of the corridor running toward the main hall, Daggermouth standing close by. The goblin readies his spear for a throw, nods to the wolf, and says a quick prayer to Maglubyet under his breath, asking for victory.

The intruders

The dark figure of the armored dwarf appears first. He is up in the entrance, ready to go down the sided shaft to the bottom of the upside-bell shaped cave. The dwarf scans with his eyes the surrounding but fails to see the hidden goblins. Behind him the walks the armored human priest, his metallic armor shines to the light of the torch that another human bear in the back. Behind the priest walks another human, his armor is light.

*the dashed line on the side view map indicates the route that goes along the wall to the bottom. Taz and Screech hide along this shaft. Nerrak lurks in the bottom, where this shaft drops to the cave's floor.
Post surprise round. Taz and Screech can see the third human. The others see only the priest and the dwarf. The female is not in the field of view.
Ciki is sleeping

Screech

Screech waited in his hiding place for the robed woman. Bad magic the shaman said. He draws a last breath, bend his bow with the humanoid sinew and shoots an arrow at her...

[sblock=ooc]
Delay untill the others attack. If the others wait, he will shoot at the woman. If not, he will target the third man.

Surprise round.

Waiting for the adventurers to advance, so the vulnerable targets will be in range, the group waits, then Nerrak begins the assaults – he throws his spear towards the human in the light armor, the spear falls short and down to the cave's floor.

Screech waited in his hiding place for the robed woman. Bad magic the shaman said. He draws a last breath, bends his bow with the humanoid sinew and shoots an arrow at her. The arrow scratches the woman and she cries in agony. But before she could do anything, Taz fires a bolt, the bolt strikes the woman ni the chest and she falls back, screaming and crying, then silence.

Kill!!! the female warrior cries, her motivation reaches new peaks and she runs up to the entrance to meet the dwarf in a battle face to face.

Nerrak frowns as he watches his badly thrown spear go nowhere. NO matter, though. He knew he wasn't greatest in actual combat; his power came from his closeness with Maglubyet through the dark, rich soil and rock of the earth. He had a few surprises for the intruders. Chanting in his native tongue, the goblin witchdoctor summons a midnight black wolf from thin air, which appears behind the enemy and immediately atttempts to savage the nearest of them.

Round 1.

Back in the cave's tunnel, Ciki hears a faint sound and she wakes up, could it be remains of her dream, the dripping water from the weeping wall or something else?

The human priest reacts the fastest, he goes back to where the robed woman fell cowers, and chants a pray in the human tongue.

Nerrak frowns as he watches his badly thrown spear go nowhere. NO matter, though. He knew he wasn't greatest in actual combat; his power came from his closeness with Maglubyet through the dark, rich soil and rock of the earth. He had a few surprises for the intruders. Chanting in his native tongue, the goblin witchdoctor summons a midnight black wolf from thin air, which appears behind the enemy and immediately attempts to savage the prone woman.

Drawing a bit of pork rind from his pouch and whispering an arcane word of power, Screech summons a layer of slippery grease below the intruders. The heavy armored dwarf crushes to the ground immediately, cursing and shouting. "Gobbos rats down there!!". He tries to get up and move but fails.

Let me. Calls the light armored human, he takes out a flute and plays a horrible melody that sounds like Elvish rhythm. From out of nowhere, a sparkling lights dance all around the bottom of the cave, illuminating hideouts. "There!" the human calls, pointing his finger to where Screech and Nerrak are.

Taz will frantically pull back the winch on his heavy crossbow and get ready for another shot, although he knows know that he's been detected his effectiveness is greatly diminished.

Ur'nagi rushes to the fallen dwarf and tries to stab him, but alas, she fails to penetrate the plate armor.

[renau1g]

Angered at the light brought down here by the human, especially accompanied by that accursed music Taz hisses at their enemies, "Youse made mistake coming here, now we eats your bones" Taz hisses in broken common.

Smiling a twisted grin as he fires a bolt at the human with the flute, hoping to stop him from continuing with his words.

After his attack, Taz realized their comrade Ciki wasn't around. Thinking that she could be useful, despite her obvious insanity he yells out in the goblin tongue "Ciki, we's need your help! Hurry! " hoping to catch her attention.
