Always Ascending

[Ordos]

Naethra spotted a counter with a good vantage point, and tried to jump over it to take cover.

(Stealth roll = 1)

She promptly caught her leg on the counter, slipped, knocking down a half dozen cups and crashing bodily into the cupboard behind it.  She tried to regain her footing, but her bright green leaves stood out shockingly against the drab interior.

[Alice]

In a display of possibly the worst ambushmanship ever the group scatters making noise and standing out.. and that is when the three goblins come sailing in through the window. One carrying a two handed axe dressed in light armor but clearly already steamed and looking for a fight, One dressed dancers garb three images already swirling around her, and the last carrying a shield, mace and with some sort of magical force swirling around her.

They look around ready for a throw down with the adventurers.. Looks like bar fight is on!

[Roselli]

Gwyn pulled her sword and looked at the goblins.
"Well, I've always liked a good bar fight. Just no one let anything happen to the beer. Took me a while to make it." Gwyn comments.

(Intit - 4)

[Nihtgenga]

Retiaria spun to face the goblins who had smashed through the window instead of using the door. "Well, turns out we fucking suck at ambushes... ah well, fuck it. I ain't naturally a hider. Let's do this then, bitches!"

[Initiative: 17+2= nineteen]

[darlingng01]

[initiative 17-1=16]
[charisma save 19+1=20]

I ready my hammer and shield, staring intently at the goblins. I feel my chest grow tight. I know that goblin.

[Ordos]

"Mab's tits'" Naethra spat in Sylvan as she steadied herself.  At least the counter was decent cover.

(Initiative : 10)

[Ryuforce]

"Guys... next time we just stand still and let them walk in..." Duran suggests way to late as she gets her weapon out. Looking rather prepared this time to fight.

(Initiative: 19 - 2 = 17,  16 -2 = 14)

[Dichotomy]

((init 16 + 2 = 18))

[Alice]

The goblins nod to each other, ready to engage the moment they lept into the building. They start to spread out but also to move up to engage the adventurers. The one with the mace and shield chants a few words and levels her mace at Duran summoning some kind of lustful magic at her.

(it is now Retaria's turn)

[Nihtgenga]

Having seen what the dancer goblins did to the other adventurers, Retiaria knew exactly who she was going after first. She wasn't going to allow them to make her a slave again! The whole illusion thing meant her usual 'throw a net on the bitch' tactic wouldn't be so useful here, so instead she just vaulted a table and thrust her trident at her. The one in the middle was probably the real one, right?

[Hit: 12+4= 16
Damage: 4+4= 8]

[Alice]

The tridet is thrust strong and true right into the goblin dancer.. Who whips away like so much dust in the breeze

<it is now Lou's turn>

[Ryuforce]

(Con Save: 14 + 2  = 16)

Duran felt magical energy descend upon her but shakes it off! Waving the lustful magic away. Eyeing the mace goblin carefully. "Careful, I think even the one with a mace is a spellcaster!"

[Dichotomy]

As everyone begins scrambling around... well, I think a fight here is stupid, but they seem set on one, so one is bound to happen.

I take a moment to chant myself up some protection, basic mage armor, that shouldn't seem too aggressive... ((my AC is now 15))

Once they burst in and take the first attacks though... well, I saw what happened to that warrior yesterday, and I'd like to see it not happen to me! I grab a scrap of meat from a nearby table, and case with a wide, sweeping motion and a slippery sounding phrase- and a thick layer of grease sluices out of nowhere for 10 feet from where I gestured, a foot or so from the window they all just sprang through.

((Slick grease covers the ground in a 10-foot square centered on a point within range and turns it into difficult terrain for the duration.

When the grease appears, each creature standing in its area must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or fall prone. A creature that enters the area or ends its turn there must also succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or fall prone. ))

[Alice]

The grease hits the floor under them and the goblin with the axe goes down hard falling on her ass.

The others remain standing however.

The dancer dances back from the tiefling slipping out of the grease but provoking an attack from her.

She then does a spin and wiggles her hips in the direction of the pink paladin, "You should go to the back and hide from us.. hide as well as you can..." She giggles as Duran must make a wisdom save.

Oric and the goblin with the mace lock eyes for long moments before approaching each other while a golden light from oric surrounds them and the goblin sits down directly on oric's face.
[see Oric character page for details]

[Nihtgenga]

With a triumphant snarl, Retiaria thrust her trident at the retreating goblin, her foot automatically moving forwards to give the blow power and stability- straight into the grease. "Whoah!"

Her foot slipping, the shot went wild.

[Opp attack: Hit: 1 + who cares, it's a crit fail]
