Sands Pants Radio, Australia's most five-thumbed podcast network. Previously on Stories of the Greyhill Free Company I've seen it land, yes. It's not far from here. Do you know which direction? Look, if we can deal with the goblins, they're not too much of a hassle for us. Perhaps then we could kind of scout the area,

find the tree, mark it on the map, and then if we have that big location, then we can kind of figure out that's where it is. Should we send Chenri to... Okay, never mind. I think if we tackle with the element of surprise... You rage and start sprinting. Yes. You have a brief sensation of falling.

You realize you are falling. And you're in a pit trap. You have a split second. You see sharp objects at the bottom of this pit trap. You have a split second to avoid. Unless you don't want to. Another flaming ball is lit and then dropped. Would you like to catch this?

Yes. Flaming body of the goblin falls into the pit. Can I catch it? For better or worse, you catch it. May I? Yes. Since we're all very wounded, we hide. I think we've got to.

Big T, perhaps in the future, why don't we wait for one of us to perhaps, Felmore here, who's the cleverest, before we run sprinting into the dark. Check with Felmore before do something strong? Before do something strong, yes. Like the path, okay. Yes, yes, like the bath It's kind of like a Because you know how You know how you're

You are so, so good at this The drums are getting loud though I like to imagine we're doing this whilst applying mud to our bodies You know how you're really, really good at this It's just like the rest of us have trouble keeping up Okay, I have to check first Matt, look at my little legs And look at your big legs Oh, it's not fair.

It isn't. Yeah, you're absolutely right. And you're too little for my fit. You might fit through the hole in the bathtub. The important thing to remember is that you did a great job. You did an amazing job. Thank you. Falmorn does take two more points of damage. Yes. Saying this as they're coughing up blood.

The important thing to remember is that you did really well. Oh, good. Yes, sir. Let's have a quick... I'm glad I'm not the letdown. Please hide. You would never, never even think...

No, Falmorn stops the entire procession. Big T. Never. Never. To what end? I nearly got all of them killed. That's so nice. Thank you.

All right. You all hide yourselves somewhere. I'm convinced I did nothing wrong. Yes, yes. That's fine. Yes, we do. Have you considered your good friends are agreeing with you there? All right.

Cherry Cheeks finds a really good hiding spot for the lot of you. All right. Let's be very quiet. And let's – I was going to take a bit of a nap. Just a quick short one. In the pond? If we are, unfortunately. Oh, fuck.

So for a short rest, everyone can – oh, anyone who's taken a hit point damage, which is mainly tree stump, tree stump, you recover five hit points. No. That was a very funny response. And you know what? Falmorn is also going to recover some hit points. They recover five as well. I'll also recover some hit points.

You recover two hit points. Hey, that's good. It's not nothing. Yes. Hey, I was on four. Now I'm on six. And now I'm on eight. That's decent.

Could be worse. Could be worse. Could be worse. Could be better. Could be worse. Could be worse. So, can I get you to roll the encounter die? Do you want to go?

I've got the last one. I've got a big foam one or something like that. I like that. A nine. The goblins, you can hear them hunting in among these plains. Oh, not these plains, the scrub land. You can hear them like moving and tracking. And every now and then you hear a wolf howl.

And you can tell that is related to the goblins. It appears to, you're not 100% sure if they have wolves or if they themselves are doing the wolf calls. Because it definitely seems to be a form of communication. or if they themselves are doing the wolf calls because it definitely seems to be a form of communication. In fact, for someone as clever as Global or someone as knowledgeable about nature as Tree Stump, I will allow both of you to make different types of checks to work out what's happening.

Ooh. Ah, I get a bad boy card. I couldn't... Never a clue. Can I get a number between 1 and 29? 23. 23? Legendary action.

Creature of your choice may take one action. So, you are unable to deduce exactly what's going on with those wolf calls, but you are aware that they have something to do with the goblins. With the paw prints that you saw, it's not unreasonable to assume that there are wolves with them. Oh, the paws.

Probably riding them. Wolf, big dog. Goblin, little guy. Don't pet. All right. An hour later, what would you like to do? Cherry? Yeah?

Do you want to maybe... Have a little look around, see what I can see? Yeah, that'd be cool. Yeah, look, hey, I'm not saying that's a great idea, but I'm saying that's what we're doing. Yes, good, good. We'll wait here. Yes. Actually, in actual fact, it's probably clever if I take Kentura with me as well.

As a hunter, you're decent at hiding, aren't you? Kentura nods. This is a very good point. I reckon, because I don't want to be caught alone. I a hunter, you're decent at hiding, aren't you? Kentura and odds. This is a very good point. I reckon, because I don't want to be caught alone. I reckon the two of us are going to have a leak. Yes, we'll hold down the fort here. Can I get a number between 1 and 29? They goof it.

15. Heal or burn out. Roll twice from any source of healing and take the smaller result. Druids don't get spells back at a short rest Do they? Why would they? Let's go with highs Highs are good

That's pretty good Highs? Okay Oh no that's not a good sign Your group It's you two and then Falmorn. You can hear a commotion happening nearby. You believe your friends have been spotted. You're not sure what they're doing though, but you, yeah.

How would you like to respond? You can hear, oh, you hear like a howling, like a wolf howl. And then in several other places, wolves howling. And then you can hear the sounds of combat oh no I think our good friends are in trouble so we need to probably go in this east

I want to poke my head out of like the it's like a big fish head I would say that there's like a maybe like a small copse copse of trees just about the place that Cherry found. And Cherry has hidden you in among the trees there. So you kind of like stick your head out of a bush maybe.

Yes. Is it quite dark or is it perhaps a bit of light, morning light? How's the lows? Lows. It's still dark, but you have no idea how long until the sun comes up. I pulled my head out. Can I see anything? Probably not. You see fires. The goblins have lit

fires. Not really bright ones, but fires nonetheless. And you see them bobbing about. You can tell that there is, actually not a small, but like a large fire starting in the brush not too far from you. That's where it seems like the fighting is happening. So not too far from us?

Not too far. No, you could get there in a round, I'd say. Follow everybody. Come with us. Big T. Falmorn, maybe you stay a bit behind so they don't... Okay, let's go. You sprint out that way.

You can see Cherry and Falmorn back to back, both of their bows drawn, and riding around them are two goblins on the backs of wolves. Oh, no. And let's go to an issue. Are we hidden yet? Oh, you're hidden? Yes. Okay.

So you will get advantage on your attacks in the first round. Oh, also one of the goblins is wearing armor. The armor? Yeah, the armor from my... I'm spending my bad boy card. Not that, the armor. Not good armor. Oh, I see what you're saying. No, one of them is just wearing...

One of them is wearing what looks like tabaxi make armor. Okay. Be nice if you don't wear it. Oh, neither of you know about this. So this is, uh, I have rules, home rules for several different types of cultural creations,

basically. So like there's dwarven, there's dwarven craft, there's elven craft, there's Cantonese made, and there's tabaxi made and some other ones. And tabaxi made looks like a random hodgepodge, not of the other different cultures of things. So this tabaxi armor looks like a random hodgepodge not of the other different cultures of things

yeah so this tabaxi armor looks like someone just took bits and pieces and stuck them together to make armor that's so good that means they've got they stole it off a tabaxi sons of bitches it looks like a trash can has had holes poked in it for arms, legs, and the goblin's not using it, but a hole poked in it for a tail. Their helmet is made out of the trash can lid that has been bent a bit so that it's got a curve to it, and then a string, literally like a piece of twine, has been tied and is somehow keeping it firmly affixed to the head. has been tied and is somehow keeping it firmly affixed to the head,

there is like random just feathers and colorful things on the arm. So someone's just gotten hot glue and slapped as many different colors of feathers all over it in no pattern. Just randomly attached. Like they got a trash can. They're like, I can make this better. It looks beautiful. What if we put maybe a bit of feather here? Oh, can make this better. It looks beautiful. What if we put it, maybe a bit further here? Oh, not to make

it look nice. Yes. What about further there? Oh, what about further here? Every time the wolf's feet hit the ground, there's a jangling sound because part of the armor and integrated and obviously important part of the armor No, sorry, all of the clasps and buckles are not like leather

but they are strings of bells. What if we make it sounding like bell? Ah, yes, give everyone a fighting chance. Yes, yes, yes. One of the birds. One of the arm pieces is several plates that have had a hole punched through them. And the other one is a teapot that has had a hole punched through it. No good for meals anymore.

No, no, no. The, what do you call them, kneecaps are two teacups from presumably the same set that the teapot is from. And upon closer inspection, you see that there's a big metal rod sticking up behind the suit of armor. You're not sure what the purpose of that metal rod is. It's a 10-foot pole. A 10-foot long pole sticking up behind the goblin. It quite clearly is slightly unbalancing. I'm guessing probably for a flag of some kind.

Okay. Beautiful, beautiful wear, may I just say. And there's two of them on the backs of wolves. Only one set of armour, though. Two goblins on the backs of wolves, riding around and taking nips at Cherry and at Falmorn.

I hate to say this, Big T, but go for the wolf. Okay. I sort of glance at Falmorn. Big T wants to go for the wolf. I glance at Falmorn to be like, should I? And then I'm like, too far away. Oh, yes.

I forgot to ask. So, Tree Stump. No, I mean, sorry, Global, you're first. Who would you like to act, not first in initiative, but out of you two, who would you like to act with? Yeah, look, I'll stick with Cherry Cheeks. The global cherry combo. And Tree Stump, who would you like to act with?

Falmorn again? Yeah, Falmorn's still in hiding though, aren't they? They're just up the back. That's all. Yeah, they can attack from afar. What other ranged spells do they have? Yeah, what kind of... What am I working with, Adam?

What are we working with? Is there some firebolt? Well I'll get to that in just a tick It's Kentura's turn Kentura fires at One of the two goblins Actually the goblin wearing the armour Misses

The arrow bounces off one of the many bells It is the goblin's turn One of them turns And sprints in for odds or evens? Evens. Sprints in for Kentura. The goblin swings with its scimitar and the wolf nips at Kentura. The wolf, probably going to hit.

No. Dodge, Kentura. Duck dive. Yeah, the wolf's mouth latches around Kentura's arm and drags it forwards. Kentura manages to stay standing and manages to just barely dodge the scimitar. Nonetheless, Kentura is going to take nine points of damage. Wolves are dangerous. Can Tura get out of there?

That's why you don't pet them. That's why you don't pet them. Okay. The other one is just riding around. It is Globble and Cherry's turn. Right. Well, I'm going to try and frostbite one of the wolves. Wolves?

Yes. Wolves. The wolf fails its saving throw and will take four points of cold damage. That's good. And then I'll get Cherry. Yeah. So can they attack the wolf where they're standing? Cherry lunges forwards with, what do they use again?

A rapier, I believe? Yeah. Lunges forward with a rapier, strikes the wolf, deals a d4 plus 4 and a d6. Minimum damage. They deal, what's that, 5, 6 points of damage. Is that enough to bring the wolf down, maybe, though? A little bit enough.

No, wait. Yes, it is. What a rollercoaster of emotions. One of the wolves goes down How could you, you monster I know, but does it fall on the goblin perhaps? Yes, two birds on stone Well the goblin will take a d6 damage The goblin takes two points of damage when it hits the ground

And then it is Tree and Falmorn's turn. I will be throwing a hand axe at the remaining wolf. You sprint in, chuck a hand axe at the wolf. You could get to the wolf if you wanted to. Use your big whatever it is that you have. I will use my glaive. You sprint in with your glaive, swing, you hit,

you deal a d10 plus 5 damage. That is probably going to bring the wolf down. You're so powerful! I go to stab the wolf and the head pops off. You deal 15 points of damage. You just No, wait, I was about to be like you put the glaive in the way of the wolf and the wolf cuts

itself. No, that does not have as much force as you do. Have you ever seen that video of a bus from inside the bus and a moose runs out into the road and jumps to try and get past, but actually hits the bus, goes clean through the glass and is then inside the bus freaking out until the driver pulls over and opens the door for the moose to get out? Yes. No. It's a great video. It's incredible. Actually, it might have been a deer. It might not have been a moose, actually. A moose is so big. It might have been a deer.

Anyway, imagine that, but imagine instead of the bus's front being made of glass, the bus's front was made out of something going nearly 120 kilometers an hour. And a glaive. You strike that wolf so hard, you slam it into the ground. The goblin takes 2d6 damage because he's got the momentum from the wolf and then the momentum from you slamming in at Mach 3. The goblin takes 9 points of damage.

That goblin's dead. That goblin's bones rattle around in its body chaotically. Once again, to go to another car analogy. Have you ever seen an unseat belted crash test dummy flying around the car? Imagine every single one of this goblin's bones are a crash test dummy without their seat belt on. Wear a fucking seat belt. The goblin is skin fine. Internally, it's a soup when it comes to a stop.

All right. That was Big T and Falmorn's turn. It goes back to- What does Falmorn do? Yeah, what did Falmorn do? Oh, sorry. Yeah, what do you want Falmorn to do? One goblin left.

Fireball from far away. Does Falmorn to do? One goblin left. Fireball from far away. Does Falmorn have any other ranged attacks, actually? I keep really hounding them. Oh, yes, that's right. You did ask me. So Falmorn's best attack, I think, is going to be Firebolt here. They can Burning Hands and Thunderwave, but

those are very short range spells. Thunderwave is a... Firebolt, indeed. It's a loud spell, isn't it? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, like, there's a lot of goblins coming this way anyway. They're like, it's kind of much of a muchness, but nonetheless. Anyway, firebolt strikes the goblin. Eight points of fire damage.

Goblin combusts and dies. That's good. Yeah. Oh, combat over. Well done, everybody. Good job. Well, since we're here, let's get to the camp, shall we? Yeah, not a bad idea.

Shall we? Yes. Oh, wait. Just checking. We're cool to go deeper in, yeah? I believe so. Yeah, all right. In for a penny, in for a pound.

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Penny pound. Penny pound. I'll make a look around. Anyone want some tabaxi? That's that tabaxi armor.

That's crazy. You can pick up the tabaxi armor if you want. Does anyone want tabaxi armor? Anyone? It's full plate. It counts as full plate armor. So it fuels. It counts as fuel plate armor. That's crazy. You could pick up the tabaxi armor if you want. Does anyone want tabaxi armor? Anyone? It's full plate. It counts as full plate armor. So it fuels. It counts as fuel.

It's arm for me. So I don't think anyone in this party can use it. Oh, they never might. Yeah. I mean, you could pick it up. It's still worth money. Oh, that's right. So one other.

So tabaxi armor has a random. So all of the different types of racial construction or whatever have a different type of, have different bonuses that they give. Tabaxi made stuff, has randomly selected one of them, and then it randomly is either worth one-tenth of what the regular armor would be worth, or ten times what it would be worth or 10 times what it would be worth depending on what it's made of this would be worth one tenth so instead of uh 1500 gold this one's worth 150 gold because it's made out of a fucking trash can but it's still armor that functions effectively

and i'm gonna give it i'm gonna give it aven-made ability where it is resistant to change. So if you try to heat this metal, it is resistant to abilities like that. If you try to morph it or change it, it will resist that change. It wants to stay in this shape and form. It wants to be bin. Yeah. Is it worth something? Is it worth something?

It is worth something, isn't it? Oh, that's a good idea. That's a good idea. Sell it. All right, big team. It's maybe easier to just bring the corpse, to be honest.

It'll take you like a minute to take the armor off. Yes, if we can just... We'll come back for it. You'll come back for it? Yes. We need to get the other armor. Yes, exactly.

A lot of armor to get. There's a lot of... Look, by the time we're done, there'll be a lot of dead goblins that we can definitely loot. So, on your way deeper or to the camp, because you actually technically haven't gotten there yet, I'm going to get you to roll the encounter dice again,

except this time a 6, 7, 8 is a light encounter, a 9, 10, 11, 12 is a heavy encounter. That's fair. So we got a 12? So that's a 12. heavy encounter. That's fair. So we got a 12? Hell yeah. That's bad. Dang. You are ambushed as you move further in.

You get to the edges of the camp. Yes. They have these, like, cow hide and other types of hide tents. You're pretty sure you see a face stretched out in one of them maybe it is good to kill them all of the tents look like uh they they use like a like sticks and metal rods and just kind of whatever they can whatever they can get their hands on to keep them propped up and whatnot the entire setup looks like it's really good to pack down and then travel with. It looks light, basically.

As you get to this outskirts area, I need a matching order. Matching order? Matching order. So who's up front? I would probably say... Fel. No, he'd be not in front. You and I would say you and probably Kentura at the front.

Kentura at the front. I have to listen to others first. Cherry Cheeks behind and then me and, yeah, Falmore taking the rear. I forgot. I thought for a second you were making someone up when you said Cherry Cheeks. That sounded fake. I cheeks. That sounded fake. I know. That sounded fake as fuck.

All right. Kentura and Tree Stump are both surprised when, let's say, five goblins leap at you from behind tents and inside tents. It's quite obviously an ambush. They were waiting here for you, prepared for a fight. And now, a quick word from our sponsors. Jackson here to interrupt your show and tell you that you should be listening to Shut Up a Second, Sands Pants Radio's oldest and longest running podcast. It's got a simple premise.

We pick a topic, anything from shoes to big bellies, and then we just try to be funny about it for 30 odd minutes. It's a blast. So search for Shut Up A Second wherever you find your podcasts. Two of the goblins have strung out between them this long stretchy rope of some sort. You're not sure what that's about, but they're sprinting towards you carrying the rope. The other three all have javelins ready to throw.

They've got the jump. In addition to that, you hear a growling sound. And from out behind a larger tent comes a goblin riding a wolf that looks far bigger than the ones that you fought before. This wolf doesn't have fur so much as it has scales that sleek back and it's covered in odd spines

and spikes. You are not 100% sure. You're not 100% sure. Other than that, it looks identical to a wolf. For a moment I thought you were going to say a goblin riding another goblin and got a bit more excited. But no, this scary wolf is terrifying. There is still fur, but there is also scale.

Ew. Okay. Yuck. Tristam, you know that this is a dire wolf. Things have gotten dire now, haven't they? You see that the goblin riding the dire wolf has a full beard, indicating he is the alpha. I forgot that Goblin Society works on facial hair.

The alpha goblin is wearing armor that gleams with a magical energy. Does it look a bit big for him? It looks slightly misshapen, yes. Okay. And let's go to a... Well, actually, no, they get a free action. So the two goblins who have the long, stretchy rope between them run at you and at Kentura.

Both of you are going to need to make dexterity saving throws. You're so dexy, right? Oh, yes. All right. So Kentura just falls flat and the rope goes over his head. But Tree Stump, the rope touches you. And as soon as it touches you, it's sticky. It's like really sticky to the touch.

The two goblins let go and the rope slams and wraps itself around you. And when it's nearly completely wrapped itself around you, one end of it sticks up to look at your face like a snake and then it opens to reveal teeth and a mouth. No, no, no, no, Adam. I refuse. Three Stump, you do not know what this creature is. Globble, you recognize a mimic

when you see one oh for what it's worth you can tell that the goblins were being very ginger with this creature with this mimic because the mimic does not have an allegiance we can use that to our advantage

at some point, maybe. Make a friend. We'll see. Make a friend. Well, not no more. Kill a friend. All right. It's the mimic's turn first.

Oh, no. The mimic gets to go first. It tries to bite you. The mimic lunges at you, big T. With its big teeth? Unfortunately, yeah. Well, its teeth are actually small. Very small, just a lot of them.

It's like the interior of this rope is a tunnel of teeth. The mimic turns a little bit of its head inside out and then just throws itself at you. It slams into your chest and then tries to revert itself, throwing its teeth into your chest they dig down into your leather armor but do not penetrate hey you just hear a oh thirsty as the mimic uselessly tries i'm not your mom it is the alpha goblin's turn the alpha goblin is riding forwards.

I assume no one here knows Goblin. No. Sorry, wait. That's not its voice. He's got like a really deep voice. The voice of a true Alpha and or Sigma. He throws a javelin. Oh. Oh.

Yeah. The javelin sails clear through the air and strikes you. Aw. Yeah. You take three points of damage. Ow. That's not good.

And then it is... Oh, and he charges forwards with the wolf, but the wolf does nothing just yet It is Big T your turn with Falmon Well I'm going to throw my handaxes at him Well you can throw one handaxe right now Wait wait wait wait I'm close-ish aren't I

Close-ish to who Yeah you could draw your glaive and charge an attack Could I rage You could rage if you wanted to yes I think I'd like to rage You rage and charge and attack? Could I rage? You could rage if you wanted to, yes. I think I'd like to rage. You rage and charge forwards, swinging your glaive at the alpha goblin. The glaive sings through the air

and then the alpha goblin uses its reaction to change your target. Well, it doesn't make you do anything. The alpha goblin just goes and one of the other goblins leaps into the air and takes the blow. Fuck, what a true alpha.

Look at these beta goblins. One goblin dead. Yes. But not the boss goblin. And then it's Falmorn's turn. Falmorn is going to try and fireblast that goblin. The alpha.

Fireball. Firebolt. Falgorn. Falhorn. Falmorn. Falmorn. Falmorn will be firebolting the goblin, aiming for the beard, hoping to set his face on fire. A bolt of fire strikes the alpha goblin dealing 7 damage.

The alpha goblin will survive, I believe. Yeah, the alpha goblin is still standing. Well, sitting. He's on the back of a wall. But harmed, nonetheless. He looks mad at this attack and you fear for

Falmon's safety. In fact, the boss goblin directs, there's 4 goblins left, he directs a finger for Falmon's safety. In fact, the boss goblin directs there's four goblins left he directs a finger at Falmon and two goblins attack him. Two javelins strike Falmon.

Uh oh. Doing a total, well actually the first one knocks Falmon down. There's three attacks still left. Falmon takes eight points of damage and goes down. We need him. He's so lovely.

He's the smartest one. The alpha goblin points a finger now at, let's say, Cherry Cheek. No, Cherry Cheek hasn't attacked. Points a finger at you, Tree Stump. And the other three all in unison attack you. One of those javelins now strikes you instead, dealing four points of damage. Good one. Then another

javelin misses, and the final javelin this round will be a hit, Big T. You take six points of damage. Are you down? Oh no. Oh no! That was the Goblin's turn. Globble and Cherry Oh no. Oh no. That was the goblin's turn. Globble and Cherry

it's your turn. Oh fuck. How many goblins are left? Four goblins left plus boss gob. That's the boss gob. Okay. Right. Well. First, don't have much to do. Oh boy. Right. I will try and frostbite one of the little boys.

He fails his saving throw and takes six points of damage. You knock down another goblin. That's good. Turns to ice, falls backwards and shatters. That's one down. Okay, that's three.

We'll get cherry cheeks to... Is anyone like an ally near him to get his... Is anyone near cherry cheeks for any kind of... There's one close to to Kentura that he could fight

so we'll get we'll get that we'll get that we'll do that we can fight that one he charges in strikes hits the goblin

that's good and deals nine points of damage another goblin goes down there's two left alright that's good that's good okay

let's hope our good good friends survive this round. All right. Good luck. I'll go over to Befellhorn and just wait. It is Kentura's turn. Kentura, instead of drawing their bow, is going to draw a short sword.

Oh, no, wait. Actually, that one's down. Cherry just took him down. Yeah, no, he does draw his bow, and he fires an arrow. That's a critical miss. Damn it. Come on, Kentura. Yeah, that sucks he does draw his bow and he fires an arrow. That's a critical miss. Damn it. Come on, Kentura. You're meant to be good.

Cramp. A D6 penalty on your next attack roll. Bow bad. Bow hurt. I do like a seldom nod. Like it is bad. It's the mimic's turn. Fuck.

What about the mimic? The mimic hovers over Big T. Fuck. What about the mimic? The mimic hovers over Big T. No. Down it goes. Big T, you are two. Oh, wait. I guess it attacks.

Oh, wait. Let's just work again. No, it does need to roll to hit, but it rolls with advantage. Huh. It misses. Huh. Your armor saves your life. Huh.

Huh. There you go. Yeah, the mimic is like slowly tightening its grip on Big T and trying to bite at Big T, but the leather armor is keeping them together so far. It is the boss goblin's turn. The boss goblin reaches to his side, pulls out a horn, and then puts his lips to it. That's not good at all.

Two more goblins appear. Fuck. I was hoping they'd bring in our friends. Big T, can you make a... Oh, I'll make your death saving throw, don't worry. That's one success. That's good. And then, yeah, what would you like Falmorn to do?

Also do a death saving throw. Oh, that's right. Possible. They also succeed. That's good. That's good. That's good. That is wins all round for the team.

Yes. I like those odds. Yes. It's the Goblin's turn. That's not good. There's four of them. And the boss Goblin is now pointing at Kententura oh no all four target kentura well one of them targets kentura hit that's eight damage to kentura kentura goes down oh shit

changes to cherry oh shit the second one attacks cherry misses misses Third attack on Cherry, it's a miss Cherry Cheeks survives another round And then it is Gobble and Cherry, your turn Okay, well, I do want to stabilize but I also need to Okay, well, I will try to Frostbite another little goblin Passes its saving throw Shit And we'll get Cherry to attack something.

Cherry can actually attack one of the goblins because they're standing next to you. Perfect. Cherry misses. Can I instead... Let me show you how. I'll spin my other... The ally attack roll using my instead.

They hit! That's good! See? Teamwork. I think minimum damage is still going to be... Yeah, Cherry Cheeks brings a goblin down. Good work, Cherry. You went high, you should have gone low. That's fine. Okay, well, fuck. It is Kentura's turn.
