Summary

Party returns to the abandoned monastery and travels down the the larger set of staircase. They open some doors and run into the guards that were supposed to have been guarding the shipments. Their captain, James, explains to them that they are currently sieging the goblins, and that their envoy has already came to negotiate the release of the stolen goods in exchange of the adventurers leaving. Guards seem injured and are wary. There are some explosives they have commandeered off of the goblins, and they have been set up at the corridor to discourage goblins from attacking them. A quiet and shifty human accountant named Arthur is in charge of setting up the explosives, and the crossbow sniper in second in command named Raelin has been listening for goblin's approach.

Things take a much more grimmer shape after the PCs talk to Raelin, however. Raelin warily explained to them that it was due to the Captain's laziness that the guards were lagging behind the shipping carts, and to cover up this mistake and protect his record, the captain has led them on this suicide mission to recover the goods, to cover up what really happened. Raelin expects many more goblins than the optimistic estimation of 20, but she and the guards are sticking with their captain for now. The PCs try exploring the passages to the east, and run into some goblins. They cut their way through and regroup at the guard's camp.

Night falls, and the goblin envoy, a spellcaster, approaches with his cadre of guards. Arthur went up to negotiate with him, and it seemed that the negotiations went well. The goblins agreed to return the stolen goods if the guards left. Everyone packed up and begin to leave, but Arthur had other plans. He drank an invisibility potion, and then lit the bombs set up in the corridor as the group left, killing many and injuring the rest. With the goblins swarming in, the PCs had no choice but to grab the wounded and retreat up the hidden staircase. They quickly clogged up the stairway with old crates and trekked through the night back to Lorinshire.

PCs refreshed themselves and returned to the monastery. They decided to check out a room they haven't explored before, and ran into a group of goblins, including the goblin envoy. They were planning to cut the PCs off and surround them from behind, but the PCs caught them instead. PCs managed to quickly put down the opposition, as the goblin war drums begin to rumble and the remaining goblins swarmed in through the only exit. After delaying them with a well placed grease at a chokepoint, No Two threw his torch at the goblin bomb carrier, which exploded and took out the rest of the goblin horde. Large footsteps indicated that something big was coming, so the PCs quickly got ready for another fight. The ogre stepped in and smashed Kel into the ground his giant tree trunk, all while tanking a barrage of arrows and bullets. As he raised his tree trunk to smash Katherine down, No Two cast

, turning the attack back on his attacker and splattering his brain out.

With their leader dead, rest of the goblins routed, and the PCs were able to return the missing shipments and earn their reward, as well as a sizable loot.

There is a decision to be made in regarding the campaign.

We can either go directly into the next segment of the campaign, which involves Avina finally graduating from her school and heading back to her home city to find out why have the monthly allotment of money stopped coming from home.

Or we can clear out the abandoned monastery.

Let me know what you would prefer.

[GuyInFreezer]

Clearing monstery.

Side quests are great.

[Cheetory6]

Does the main plot progress without us if we do a sidequest?

[Brian Skies]

I'm assuming we lose a month if we wait for Avina to graduate.

I'd like to continue exploring the monastery.

[Who]

Just read the logs, that was great.

Did I get exp+loot because my character was there, or did I not get it because I wasn't there?

[Brian Skies]

You were there.

[T-Bone]

Did you read the summary? You won the encounter.

[T-Bone]

and I'm good for whatever if we stop playing so damn early...

[FakeGod]

you get xp and either 300g or a masterwork weapon

[FakeGod]

your wizard won init but rolled a 1 on his attack roll on his ray of enfeeblement btw

it was very unexpected but it didn't matter ultimately because you had the second ace up your sleeve

[FakeGod]

Does the main plot progress without us if we do a sidequest?

Not for this. The next part of the campaign begins with Avina's graduation and her decision to go back to her hometown.

Clearing out the dungeon can be done supposedly before Avina's graduation at some point.

Shot on the run sucks.

If you're serious about going archery ranger, I'd recommend start looking into getting higher str and getting str-adjusted composite longbows.

Just keep in mind that you need to boost your damage in every way you can think of.
