Goblin tower

General Summary

Chronicler: Kade
Companions: Histix
Sayris
Caelin
    Body: The group left town in the morning and walked south all day. Seeing nothing eventful.   During night watch, Sayris fell asleep while on watch and we were ambushed by a pack of goblins. Kade drew first blood during the ambush, while Sayris was injured quite badly at the start of the fight. Caelin was able to heal his wounds and we crushed 4 of the goblins that attacked.   From there the night was uneventful, and we continued on in the morning. We made it to the river, and came upon another pack of goblins chopping down trees. While Sayris snuck around the side, Caelin tried to speak with the goblins. That went poorly, and the goblins fired a bow at Caelin. While Caelin and Kade rushed forward, Sayris snuck around the side to easily pick off 2 goblins quickly. Caelin and Kade engaged with the main pack, with Histix in the back sending spells whizzing into the goblins.   During this fight, Kade made an incredibly acrobatic move to jump off a stump to slice down a goblin that was attacking Caelin. No one in the group noticed this feat of strength and skill. After this the rest of the goblins were quickly dispatched by some additional spells from Histix, and the others. The final goblin tried to flee but Sayris with his bow wounded the goblin, hoping to extract some information from it. Kade did not agree with the course of action and after he reached the goblin, sliced him clean through.   The group continued south and happened upon a tower, with two guards outside. Histix and Sayris tried to pick the goblins off quickly, but were unsuccessful. Histix particularly missed badly with a firebolt, sending it harmlessly into the sky over the goblin's head. Sayris was equally unsuccessful in his attack, and was quickly beaten and injured by one of the two goblins.   2 more goblins ran out of the tower, but the team was able to beat them back. At this point Kade rushed the door and tried to kick it in. His weak kick did nothing to move the door. Caelin walked up after this and calmly swung the door wide open, revealing the 2 goblins that ran inside, with an additional 3 goblins joining the fight. The group fought into the room, slaying all of the goblins in the room. Kade in spectacular fashion took out the last goblin with an impressive battle axe flip into a large, cross chest slash.   The team takes a short rest to recover some of their strength before continuing up the tower. They sneakily clear the first two floors, before becoming slightly impatient and stomp up to the third floor. Here they are surprised by 4 goblins attacking. After a short battle in the stairwell and on this third level, the hero’s slay all 4 goblins, before working their way to the fourth floor.   Here the heroes take a more cautioned approach and send Sayris up to scout the next floor. They find 2 more goblins they are familiar with, and a larger goblin that looks to be the leader. The heroes slowly move back downstairs and lay a trap. Sayris makes a sound, to lure these goblins downstairs.   1 by 1 the 3 goblins slowly come down the stairs. The heroes quickly dispatch the first, with Caelin killing the first in a single blow, and Histix shooting a firebolt straight through the second. Histix’s firebolt came a bit too close to Kade, who was a bit upset. He took the recently killed goblin and threw him over Histix’s head, into a pile of barrels. This made a loud crash and startled the larger goblin above. Sayris quickly tried to imitate a goblin laugh, to hopefully keep the larger goblin off guard.   The larger goblin comes stomping down the stairs. At the bottom, he turns to see Histix and charges. Caelin tries to go for an opportunity attack, but swings wildly and misses. The large goblin charges Histix and hits him. The team then surrounds the larger goblin and eventually beats them down, with Kade getting the final blow. Just before this, the goblin lets out a loud cry, causing two more smaller goblins to rush down the stairs.   After dispatching the larger goblin the team turns their attention to the two new goblins. After already weary from the battles before, the team ready themselves for the worse. In a close fight with these two goblins, with Sayris taking the final blow, they have hopefully cleared the tower.   With his initial challenge still in mind, Kade bolts up the stairs to the next floor, and then onto the ladder above. Histix, somehow even with his small legs, has kept up and is right behind Kade. At the top of the ladder they encounter one final goblin. After a few wild attacks, in pure exhaustion, Kade and Histix finally defeat the last remaining enemy.   Kade and Histix begin to look out at the top of the tower, while Caelin and Sayris head back downstairs to loot the larger goblin. Sayris in a quick act tries to keep the gems that were found, but Caelin was close enough behind to notice the Rogue was not being entirely truthful. On the body, they also found 2 Potions of Healing. Caelin and Sayris decide to split the loot evenly between the team, and let each member decide what to do.   Back at the top of the tower, Kade and Histix tell the others about the things and points of interest they have seen. Caelin and Sayris tell them of the loot that was found, including the 2 Potions of Healing. Caelin has taken one, with the other going to Kade. After a thorough survey of the land, the team heads down the tower. Histix shows off by jumping off the tower and casting Feather Fall on himself. Kade of course, on the way out grabs a trophy from the larger goblin, however, with his haste that trophy is just a small toe.   The team makes their way back home without incident, and once back in the tavern, the team congratulates each other on a successful expedition. Kade and Histrix decide to throw their gold and gems into the community chest. After telling the other patrons in the tavern of their adventure, Kade speaks up and announces that because he won the race to the top, the town will be called Peak moving forward.
