[2:16 AM, 1/17/2018] (214) 293-7988: my party is entirely casters so being in a tight cave like that isnt really amazing for them
[2:19 AM, 1/17/2018] (214) 293-7988: they took out the goblins in front of the cave, and then began working their way in
they killed the wolves, and then kept going thru the main tunnel
the goblin guard on the bridge ended up having the tunnel flooded twice, so eventually they just decided to take a long rest in the little pocket of trees on the right of the entrance
two of the goblins from the cave with sildar came out and interrupted their long rest, they killed them but one of the wizards went down and they didnt have any way to heal him so they just stabilised him and left him hidden in the thicket (i rolled a 1 on a 1d4 to see how many hours it took him to wake up)
[2:21 AM, 1/17/2018] (214) 293-7988: the other three tried to methodically clear out the dungeon while he was resting, so the other wizard used disguise self to look like a goblin and went into the top room and talked with them in goblin since he took it as a language
meanwhile the bard and warlock snuck behind him and started going over the bridge, the guard was gone since the two pools were already emptied, so he had just gone back to the room with the waterfall
warlock goes too far and walks in on a room with 4 goblins, proceeds to fuck off in the other direction but gets downed on the bridge
[2:24 AM, 1/17/2018] (214) 293-7988: the bard uses cure wounds to get him back up, and the warlock crits on an eldritch blast to make one of the goblin archers straight up explode, making the one behind him turn and run away rather than keep fighting
the two other goblins run into the main tunnel and start attacking the bridge because they cant see anyone at that point
the warlock, as well as the wizard who managed to slip out of the room with sildar, jump onto the bridge to start fighting goblins, but the bridge gets broken on that turn so the wizard makes the dex save, the warlock fails it and goes down again
[2:24 AM, 1/17/2018] (214) 293-7988: the bard uses cure wounds again and they all start trying to run out of the cave, but now with the goblins from the waterfall room after them and the ones from the sildar room coming out to see what happened
[2:27 AM, 1/17/2018] (214) 293-7988: bard goes down in the cave, passes 2 death saves, then fails one then nat 1s so he dies
warlock goes down in the little pocket of forest and the wizard is about to go down too when the hour is up and the other wizard comes up with one health
they manage to stabilise the warlock and fight off the goblins until two of them are left
then one of the goblins nat 1s, and as part fumble part DM intervention he swings his sword and hits the other goblin, who then proceeds to kill him in retaliation after failing an insight check and believing it was intentional
[2:27 AM, 1/17/2018] (214) 293-7988: so all the goblins are down, and one of the wizards goes over to the bard to try and make a posthumous medicine check to stabilise him
[2:27 AM, 1/17/2018] (214) 293-7988: nat 20
[2:28 AM, 1/17/2018] (214) 293-7988: so he somehow manages to breathe life into the dead bard, and hes now unconscious and will definitely suffer some sort of ailment as a result of being brought back from literally being dead
[2:29 AM, 1/17/2018] (214) 293-7988: but theyre going back to the town to recuperate, they didnt even see sildar or the bugbear and ive repositioned the remaining goblins to be in high alert mode when the party inevitably returns to the cave
