Adventurer's League (D&D 5th Ed)

[Agent of Evil]

Soveliss grabbed his bow from his pack an quickly drew an arrow from his quiver. He pulled the string back by reflex and lossed the shaft at the last sanding goblin. As the arrow sunk into his chest Soveliss let a long, slow chuckle escape his throat.

The second goblin fell, and the air was still again. Water trickled out in the stream from the cave mouth, and the warlock was able to pick himself out of the water.

Combat over, back into free mode,

Also, my apologies on the delay, buuuuusy week.

 

[Aur0ra]

Returning to the stream, the rogue knelt washing her daggers carefully before sheathing them and proceeded to wash her hands, she decided to take a bath when the men went to sleep.


Aleyska stood up and started walking casually towards the cave, her curious nature urging her to go further in, though she stopped and looked behind her shouting for the others: ''Are you coming gentlemen?''

 

[Orikanyo]

"The jobs done, thankfully much faster then last time, lets be more cautious in our ways forward." Roland sighed as he marched forwards, part the stream slightly as he trudged through the small amount of water. "Raz, i suggest staying in the far back, we don't have time to rest at the moment but the more you are out of sight of the archers, the better. Those who are ready, lets get into one of these caves." he motioned forwards as his gaze turned to their two prospects.


"It is likely they connect somewhere within, but regardless with either choice we must be quick with our search to prevent our friend from meeting an untimely end, if i remember from our informant, he was taken into the chief's cavern, and the bodyguard taken into the other. it is possible either are still allive, but I have a feeling we should choose our course quickly... or perhaps have a scout ahead, if they do not already know of our presence. Aleyska, do you think you can peek ahead? if you are willing."

 

[Aur0ra]

Her response was a mere nod before she proceeded into the cave at Roland's words thinking about what he said about the possibility of the dwarf being alive.


The light coming from outside was the only thing illuminating the cave, but as the paladin said, the cave looked so deep that Aleyska now believed she could find the entrance to an other cave soon, she continued walking a bit disgusted at the filthy smell of the goblins and the thrown garbage consisting of food bags, rotten animals skin and fur everywhere she went.


The rogue drew out her sword just to be prepared for anything and went on

 

[Agent of Evil]

Soveliss slung his bow across his chest and grabbed hid shield from his pack. As he approached the entrance to the cave he grabbed a scimitar from one of the fallen goblin's belt. Ad Soveliss crouched next to Roland he swung the crude and rusty thing in a few test strokes. Yes, the blade was ugly as human's smell but the ballance was much better for close in work than his hatchets. "Roland." He whispered as he crouched on the other side of the cave enterance. "Should we really be sending her in alone?"

 

[Orikanyo]

"She is sent to take a small peek, I hope she would have more sense then to go to far in and alert everything in a mile radius, she is the sneakiest of our bunch, so she has the highest chance of getting in, looking around, getting out..." he explained his reasoning, but no less readied himself to rush in should chaos ensue from inside.


"Whatever information we can gather before an engagement is our friend, traps placed, cover to be used, even if one of the captives is lost, gods prevent it so, will change our attack plan... Man I sound like the old man now..."

 

[Thorn Darkblade]

Spoiler

The cave did in fact get darker and deeper, the stream going in further as well. However, immediately to the right, inside the entrance, was an offshoot. From here, Aleyska could here...something moving within. Multiple somethings, heavy breathing, and the rustling of chains.

 

[Agent of Evil]

As the rouge delved into the cave Soveliss moved back to the steam. He gathered arm loads of wet river grass and began stacking them in a pile. Once he had a pile that was up to his waist he went back to the entrance. He looked at Roland. "I'm sorry about that goblin. I knew the spirit of your word but you know if we had let that filthy thing go it would have betrayed us..." Soveliss paused and tried to collect his thoughts. He honestly respected the Paladin. While the human was saving downed comrades Soveliss dispatched the threat, he honestly thought they could work well together. However Soveliss couldn't find the words to express his ideas so he motioned to the gathered grass. "If she finds nothing but corpses I'll light the grass and smoke the goblin's out, we can kill them at the enterance. If she finds captives still alive I'll block the passage way while you stab over me with that long ax of yours as we advance." Soveliss motion towards the Halberd. "As we advance the others can sling their spells, I can throw my axes, and you can keep the filthy beasts off me."

 

[RazHopeHeart]

Razmin composed himself, yet again. Twice, in one day. He sure hoped his cut didn't get smaller for sleeping on the job.


Even if by sleeping, he meant taking a bath. Forcefully. By arrows.


He stayed as far back as possible. Probably a decent 25 ft away from his companions. There was no way he was going to be caught by surprised this time.


And just to be sure, he kept his eyes open for anymore surprise attacks from the rear, crossbow primed and ready to give a Goblin hello!

 

[Aur0ra]

A rustling noise found it's way to Aleyska's ears and she stopped immediately clutching her sword as she looked around inspecting.


By now her eyes got used to the darkness a little bit and she could see slightly better.


Breathing sounds combined with a sense of fear came from the right, the young rogue turned around facing the scared creatures only to realize they were captives.


Feeling a little relieved, Aleyska lowered her sword and looked at the captives unable to identify them,''who are you?''she asked slowly trying to get closer to the creatures, but they didn't speak. Feeling a little frustrated she whispered ''I'll be back.....don't worry, we'll get you out of here'' The rouge said reassuringly and ran back to the entrance.


As she ran, multiple thoughts crossed her mind as to who the captives were, could they be the dwarf and his companion? or were they just two bad lucked people who fell captive to the goblins.


Soveliss was standing at the entrance with a pile of wet grass stacked in front of him, and if she didn't stop fast enough Aleyska would have fallen head first into the pile.


Straightening herself up she looked at Soveliss trying to catch her breath: ''two, maybe three captives, alive, possibly injured. I suggest we get some fire, it's two dark in side, I couldn't find out if one of them was our employer.''

 

[Agent of Evil]

Soveliss strikes one of his torches and grabs his shield. A guardian of the clan like himself would have little trouble drawing a blade if he needs to, and many of the Humans with him will need the light. "Are you ready?" he asks the rest of the group. He slowly makes his way down the passage, attempting to block as much of the corridor as he can with his shield and agility.

Spoiler

Soveliss is taking the dodge action as he advances down the tunnel.

 

[Thorn Darkblade]

As Soveliss's torchlight lit around the corner, the rattling of chains grew louder, and then it was accompanied by growling and barking.

 

[RazHopeHeart]

Backing himself up against the wall of the caverns entrance, Razmin awaited his companions to enter first. He would take up the rear, a good dozen steps behind.

 

[Aur0ra]

Aleyska made her way walking next to Soveliss only to pass him at a point where she started leading the others straight to the barking. With every step they took, the rattling noise of chains became louder, giving along with the trash and the scattered bones on the ground which now were more visible because of Soveliss' light a very creepy atmosphere.


the young rogue slowed her pace then stopped in front of the chained creatures, an expression on her face showing both awe and fear
