Kaspar slides in between Ehrick and Bruti, his rapier flicks out to the throat of the first hogoblin to the right. “This is was I call a target rich environment”

Kaspar tries to determine how many more foes are pressing forward in the tunnel. This might be a good time for a bit of magic he thinks

 

[Grendel]

Combat Summary: Ehrick and Bruti slice and dice the hobgoblins in the second line (3 and 4) killing them with two blows each. Kaspar lunges in between his companions, but misses both the hobgoblin that was after Caspian (2) and any in the third line (5 and 6.) It is now Caspian's turn again, and then the Hobgoblins go. Three remain.

Continuing the acrobatics, Caspian leaps and flips towards his enemy quick as a flash, attempting to approach from the side. Keeping himself to basics, he darts in, strikes out at the goblin who lunged at him before retreating a short distance

Caspian kills one of the hobgoblins, and the other two back into the doorway bottleneck. As they were the last line of the six disengaging from the action is not difficult (they were not in fact engaged yet anyway.) They riase their shields and swords and prepare to hold that position while one of them calls out as loud as possible in his own language.

---

They are moving back and holding their attacks.

just to get things moving againI'm aware it's not my turn in intiative order, but this battle has stopped rather abruptly, so let's shake things up a bit.

 

Kaspar moves confidently forward until the distance to the hobgoblins is less than 15 feet, concentrating on the ancient powers of his race, pulling his free hand to the shoulder palm outwards and pushing it forward mumbling "Ventas Fulmino" casting Thunderwave down the tunnel.

 

Thunderwave1st-level evocation

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: Self (15-foot cube)

Components: V, S

Duration: Instantaneous

A wave of thunderous force sweeps out from you. Each creature in a 15-foot cube originating from you must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 2d8 thunder damage and is pushed 10 feet away from you. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn't pushed.

In addition, unsecured objects that are completely within the area of effect are automatically pushed 10 feet away from you by the spell's effect, and the spell emits a thunderous boom audible out to 300 feet.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 1st.

Casting at level 1

With the last one down, Ehrick withdraws back into the room. He puts his scimitars away, grimacing as placing a hand on his wound. He then reaches back and grabs his bow. He moves away from the entrance the goblins will be coming from and readies an arrow to shoot the first one he sees.

[The Foiler]

Hrmmm, Bruti groans in annoyance as the Hobs hunker down. He points his blade towards the apparently stalwart goblinoids and the divine sparks flowing from his blade flare hot and bright for a moment, the energy rippling towards the point of the weapon and lancing outwards.

"Deus would prefer if you knock that off."

Round Summary

Brother Bruti fires a bolt of divine energy and kills one, then Ehrick steps aside a moment as Kaspar sends a booming wave of sound and force pushing the last hobgoblin back. Ehrick then moves in to attack, but his blows glance off of the creature's armor.

Next round, Caspian goes.

Caspian kills the sixth hobgoblin, moving through the short passage into the next room to do so. Unfortunately he is not carrying a light and cannot see in the dark, so the contents are unknown. The little light filtering past him shows that it is a chamber that widens gradually at first and then more. The floor where the hobgoblins falls heavily, his chain mail armor clinking amidst the thump of his weight, is covered in straw but is otherwise bare earth, packed down by many feet.

Kaspar follows Caspian into the next trying to add his better vision to the scouting for more danger. His hand still holding his rapier steady for immediate violence.

his head moves rapidly, taking in as much of the whole picture in a glance, before carefully scanning the surroundings.

[The Foiler]

Bruti moves into the passage along with Caspian and Kaspar, grumbling slightly as he steps in the sticky blood of a hobgoblin.

"We should assume they've heard us by now. And we could use some light."

Caspian flicks his blade in a salute to the fallen foes. “Disgusting creatures really. I wish I knew their language so I could see if they merit any intelligence or organization.” Caspian takes his torch out from his pack and lights it. “I do wish I had their eyes though….”

Once Kaspar enters the chamber and a light is brought in (or another torch lit) you see that this chamber is a camp or barracks. Crude pallets for sleeping are about, twelve in all. To the northwest there is a tunnel, no special skill is needed to see that it was recently and inexpertly dug, with crude supports made from logs. The tunnel is narrow, though large enough for a hobgoblin (and therefore a Man) to walk without stooping. It is not straight, Kaspar can see almost 30 feet before the uneven path blocks his view. That is also the range of the torch light.

---

There is a passage in the previous chamber, where you defended against the six coming from this room that goes Southeast. Looking down that passage Kaspar could see it curved after about 30 feet, obscuring anything further.
