>>/6063/ >>/6064/ >>/6069/ >>/6071/ You explore the Western passage, and it is choked with rubble and blocked by steep slopes. Moving up the slope requires 5 feet of extra movement. Alice can see that all the supposed prisoners are just more goblins but unarmed and smaller, they aren't wearing armor, and they're cowering. Although this passage is the only way, it's more dangerous than it looks, giant cracks descend deep into the earth, one slip or push could send someone down and quickly out of sight likely never to be seen again. Pebbles and small rocks tumble down as you pass and you don't hear them hit any bottom. Yulya crawls on her belly searching for traps. [1d20+5=9] If there are any she can't be sure. [1d4=3] Eyes shine back from one of the cracks, a large venomous snake coiled on the fragile ledge between the two escarpments peers toward the light. It slowly uncoils and raises its large head. It's a medium creature, big enough to eat goblins. After a loud hiss, two more slither out from cracks behind you. Three goblins stand above you peering down toward the light and begin to cackle as they see the snakes slither out. They prepare their bows to rain arrows down on you. [WIS 1d20+5=23 1d20+1=3,21 1d20=5] Cat and Alice are surprised but Ashley alerts them easily. "Guys..." snaps fingers "we got company." I read something about the idea that you had to pass perception or be surprised but I decided against it as you take turns as a group and that's awkward, and obviously two of you were not surprised so you could just alert the others. If you had all failed, this would have been an ambush. If I had made one roll, you wouldn't have been ambushed so you're not. Ashley argued for you. [Initiative: 1d20+3=21 vs 1d20+2=7] You have initiative. The ledges on which the snakes are coiled are unstable, they are bracing themselves on slippery walls and loose rubble. You also stand on small pebbles akin to marbles and any melee attack you make threatens to send you prone. You can use your bows at range 10ft+ and they will not cause that issue. The cats are sure footed and are immune, Yulya is already prone. She may cast from that position. "Yulya, don't you ever use your shield!" Ashley says with frustration as she huddles behind hers and positions her back against a stone wall. She calls Rally Growth. "Go for those snakes babies!" Ashley angles her shield toward the goblins and hunkers down, gaining full cover. Mrs. B and the Lynxes surround the Snakes to the East and attack with pounce. [1d20+4=(18,7),(23,15)] [CON 1d20+1=15,21] Mrs. B slips behind them, setting up flank and the lynxes pounce with claw hitting the snakes. [1d4+2*1.5=6,7] They scratch at the snakes and attempt to grapple. [1d20=14,7] Olga fails but Helga succeeds, additionally biting the snake. [1d20+4=(5,11)] She can't seem to bite through the snakes tough scales this time. Mrs. B attacks Snake 2. [1d20+4=(19,14)] [CON 1d20=11] and hits for [1d4+2*1.5=9] The snake succumbs to the flurry of scratches from Mrs. B! [1d20=1] She's managed a mortal blow, the snake dies.
