[R1]
Nocturno chants intently, his adrenaline building as he ascends the stony slope; eager hands itching to wrap themselves around goblin throats... Rapidly the elf climbs to the peak, only to encounter a goblin rising to the ledge from the other side and preventing his progress! The small green creature stabs down at him with a poorly made spear, but the heavily armored elf quickly ducks the blow.
Jordek hears the sound of combat and follows the wall in the darkness. Climbing blindly up the slope near the wall, he emerges next to Nocturno. At the peak, he stabs at the goblin attacking the elf but catches nothing. Nocturno gets a glimpse at the corridor above, seeing several more goblins and the leader Krok! A few of the wetrock tribes-goblins look a little worse for wear, bearing bruises and cuts. Krok himself sports two black eyes and a crooked nose, as well as a large welt on the side of his head; all courtesy of his previous encounter with the party. With rage in his beady red eyes he screams at the others to attack!
A goblin guardsman, bearing rusty chainmail and an axe, hustles up to hack at the now-berserk warrior-priest. The weapon glances across the ledge face, sending sparks flying and narrowly missing the elf.
Katten finishes her ascent, but finds she too is blocked from cresting the ledge by another spear wielding goblin! This time the weapon finds the mark as the rusty spearhead sinks into her furred shoulder! Another moves beside it to strike at the ranger, but the stab goes wide instead.
Elden, unable to see, continues to climb behind Nocturno but is forced to halt as the other members of the group hang just below the peak. Down below Linar Indendien and Dellinanth open fire on the goblins at the top of the ridge, taking down the creature that injured Katten.
[Actions Round 2?]
[Those on the slope and in range (katten, nocturno) can hold on with one hand and strike at the goblins with a 1-H melee weapon. Reminder that ranged weapons cant be used while in melee distance. Those at the very bottom of the slope can only see the front rank of goblins]
[Chris, climbing is movement. It's much slower than normal, but still movement. Since the group is kind of blocked at the top, did Linar still want to climb? If not he can take a second shot for the end of round 1]
