I take a moment to get a drink, glad to have found the pool, before deciding it safer to go around though it may take a little bit longer. Going up hill was fine, but trying to climb up it could lead to me slipping and making a mess of things. Still, I would make sure to stay as close to the water as possible.
Amended combat - The goblins pour around the corners at a full run. The first two around the corners are met with a arrow and a crossbow bolt taking them out easily. Ghost jumps up and attacks the closest one to him but misses as the goblin tries to attack him but misses. The next goblin is attacked by another arrow taking it down. The one closest to it is taken down by ghost. Rachel comes to a stop and turns around to attack. Jason hits another with a crossbow bolt killing it. One throws a javelin as another comes up to Rachel swings at her hitting her for 6 damage. The goblins begin to get within melee range with everyone. Ghost is able to take another one out. They swing at Jason but miss and one swings at Dennis hitting him for 4 damage. Rachel is able to get a hit in for 5 damage hurting it. Dennis misses with his bow.
I try to keep out of their reach, step back, reload, fire, just keep it up.
Out of Character: 5 foot stepping back up the passage, reload, fire at nearest target, keeping up that pattern until unable to move or all targets are down. Rolling for next four rounds.
I see Jason's plan and I do the same as he does. "Rachel, come this way, quickly"
Out of Character: 5 foot step back up the passage, knock an arrow, fire at nearest target, keeping up that pattern until unable to move or all targets are down. Rolling for next three rounds. How many do we see left?
