5th ed. Riffgame, take 2
We start off as a group composed of the axe fighter Sir Venrik, the archer Tharos Intem, the elven wizzerd Libris Dedita, the dwarven cleric of Atheism Urist McDawkins, and the charming, handsome, and all around awesome halfling rogue Yolo Swaggins.
We get ambushed by goblins, Venrik is dropped to 0 HP instantly. Tharos, Libris and Urist take down three of them while another one gets non-lethally punctured in the lung by one of Yolo's arrows. Venrik survives.
Said survivor shows us the way to the goblin hideout. While we were discussing who got to do scouting duty, two goblins drop Yolo to 0 HP and then get killed. Yolo gets healed, after Urist touched him inappropriately.
The hideout itself would make any bond villain proud, having a reusable flood trap that washes everybody but Venrik out the cave at least once. We decide to rest and head back inside, avoiding the tunnel with the trap, and encounter a goblin holding our employer's bodyguard hostage. We agree to kill his boss, so he can promote himself, in return for the employer himself.
Turns out said boss is a huge bugbear who instantly beats Venrik's head to a pulp. Libris fries his two goblin escorts (and badly enrages the wolf, who procedes to knock the elf down), while Yolo and Urist team up to slay the bugbear. Tharos assists Libris, and the fight ends with the wolf having its squishy parts being frozen. Sobs all around for Venrik (yeah, right).
We discover a chest with some loot, as well as supplies meant for the blacksmith of a nearby town. Nice, that's quite the rewa-Did Urist just attempt to Sacred Flame the new goblin leader. We escape by climbing into the pit below a bridge, leaving behind most of the loot, and Tharos fails his Athletics check, splattering all over the floor.
We level up and the session ends. 'twas fun, but seriously, fuck this scenario, we got lucky like hell.
