    "Aaaaaaaand... there." Arc finally finished scribbling in his journal, stowing the worn down tome into his saddlebag gingerly. He looked around, gathering his surroundings. Now... what had occured while he'd been busy... he'd heard some loud noises earlier, but they quieted down so he had to wager the group had figured it out. Now, given that they were hidden at the edge of a treeline and speaking quietly, he bet this was a stealth mission... the two enemies over there...

    Okay, he was pretty sure he'd figured it out.

    Arc leaned in. "Sure, we could kill them. However, we know very little about the enemy. We don't know their numbers, their locations, we don't even know their makeup. The occupying force could be made up of anything. For all we know, the creatures that took the town left, leaving behind only a small occupying force of goblins. Alternatively, there could be an entire army's worth of... I dunno... other dragons that only left these two goblins out as patrol/bait." He raised a hoof to his muzzle, rubbing it inquisitively. "Although that wouldn't make much sense, given that dragons are fiercly territorial, but you get my point. There could be anything waiting for us."

    "I say we capture them and torture them for information."

Leper would listen to what everyone said, before looking towards the town, "I agree with... Him..." She'd say, pointing at Arc Light, before looking to the group, "I'd say we lure them away, maybe with valubles? They are known to be a greedy little race." She'd point out, before looking back to the Goblins. Leper wasn't entirely sure on what she wanted the group to do, but she really did wish they had a Rogue... Damn... Trick Turning Trixie...

"You know, before we go rushing anywhere, why don't we take a look around for a second to find something useful we can use?" Expellix started quietly, staring out at the group of goblins, his ears lowered intentionally... they were just big targets saying 'look, here I am!' for him. Useful in some cases to lure somebody, but in this case, he had others to worry about.

Crouching down low, he turned his head to the others. "I could go ahead quickly and check what we're up against; it wouldn't be hard. I'm small and can just turn invisible. Or even lure them into a trap. Third option... we can use Avedon's idea of making darkness to positions ourselves for an ambush, possibly take them out before they have the chance to even scream."

"I'm with Arc Light. I'm personally a bigger fan of luring them away, and gleaming information about what else might be lurking in these ruins. For all we know, this building might be the goblin barracks. Let's be honest, they're guarding it for a reason. I'd say either barracks or store room. We could take them out quickly and just hop straight in but we don't know what we'll find."

"We could go with both plans. Lure them away while Eppelix investigates? Spells might draw attention anyways and if worse comes to worst he'll be in position to ambush anything else that may come out, or simply catch the goblins if they try falling back. Question is how are we going to lure them? Levitation leaves an aura that even a dumb goblin may question, and if we try to lure them with a person they have a chance of screech out an alarm...It's not like we can just attach some treasure to a string and reel it on a unicorn's horn...we're going to do that aren't we? "

Well, it didn't really look like the goblins were guarding the building so much as... being lazy. They were just leaning and chatting, although it looked more like an argument of some kind. Goblins weren't well known for their intelligence or calm demeanor, so it was possible they might start fighting.

But the longer the party decided not to do anything, the higher chance their was of them being spotted in the bushes.

Everyone please make a dexterity save for stealth.

Trixie really had nothing else to say. This was very much a melee situation, using magic here could be disastrous. "Decide on something before they come investigate! Or make them both come over here so we can drag them into the bushes."

Leper would look at Trixie, then to the goblins, "I vote we send out blue pony." She'd say, nodding her head, "She is... Attractive, lure them over." She'd point out, before looking around, sinking a little further into the bushes, not liking just how out in the open they were at the moment.

Dex Check (7+1) 8

Leper winced a bit, and just looked at Trixie, hoping she'd hurry up and get on with distracting the goblins, lest they all be seen. Damn clumsy hooves. She really needed to work on her balance and sneaking, she just wasn't a sneaky kind of pony.

    "Goblins are pesky bastards for sure, but they aren't exactly the brightest. Just about anything will work."

    Dex check: 11+2=13

    Arc was doing a pretty decent job at keeping himself hidden, pulling his cloak over as much of his somewhat brightly-covered fur as possible and crouching into the bushes. He could only hope it was enough, although to be frank he wasn't exactly terrified at the prospect of it not being.

    However...

    Arc prepared to use his Earth Rune if need be to cut off escape to the goblins. He wasn't exactly the stealthiest, so he'd leave the capture up to the others, but if they were spotted he would make sure he could quickly raise the earth on the other side of the goblins to keep them here and stop them from running off.

With Trixie talking, an idea suddenly came to his mind. He turned to the rest of the ground. "Stay out of sight here for a second, okay? It would probably be best if we can avoid fights if we can until we have a better position inside the town, or at least until we know what we're up against. Then we can just pick them off. Besides, they look like they're going to do the fighting for us..."

"Well, while whoring out Trixie is always a good first plan, I think the rabbit has us covered and this way we avoid having her carve us up in our sleeps..."
Avedon was no stealthy assassin, but he had spent enough time on campaigns to naturally move himself to cover and his dark over-coat kept him camouflaged well with the ground

17+2 = 19

"How about we send you out instead and see how you like it?!" Starlight hissed perhaps a little too loud, before wincing and covering her mouth.

Dex Save: 3+2=5

Starlight was not a sneaky pone. She was a silly pone.

The goblins immediately turned towards the forest as the sound of crunching leaves and splitting branches caught their attention. It was fair to say that this group was not stealthy at all. At least, not most of them. The goblins began talk while keeping their gaze on the forest... and then one of the goblins bolted away, climbing the house.

Trixie, Avedon, Expellix and Arc would all get a gut feeling that they were well hidden enough in the bushes that the goblins hadn't even noticed them. If reinforcements came, they might be able to jump the reinforcements.

The remaining goblin took out his longbow, knocked an arrow, and fired at where he had heard the twigs snap!

Attack Roll On Leper: 21
Damage: 5

Fighting behind bushes will give you a +2 bonus to AC and dexterity saves. Fighting from behind a thick tree trunk will increase these bonuses to +4, but obviously that's not really useful for melee fighting. Anyone bring a bow?

Oh for fuck's sake. Expellix had to roll his eyes hard at the fact that Leper had managed to get spotted and then Starlight was just loud. Honestly, it was like he was working with... amateurs. Right. Regardless, Insight and Judgment were suddenly in his hands, twirling it between his fingers, before gripping it tightly and hurling it.

Expellix's AttackRoll (To-hit): 20 (CRITICAL HIT)
Roll (Damage): 5 (2d4) + 8 + 9 (2d6 Fire) = 22

Expellix's aim was true and Judgment was on a one-way course for the goblin's head on the roof, the blade glowing orange from heat. At least they got a surprise attack out of Leper being seen. The second axe, Insight, was suddenly switched to his right hand and also thrown.

Expellix's Second AttackRoll (To-hit): 27 (13 + 14)
Roll (Damage): 2 (1d4) + 8 + 4 (1d6 Frost) = 14

His other throw wasn't quite as well aimed, he was in a bit of a rush, but he was more than good enough still to throw it for a body shot. It was certainly going to hurt still!

"I do not turn tricks at least.... Is... That is what she does, yes?" She'd ask, before an arrow was embedded in her shoulder, making her head snap forward, looking to the goblins, growling deeply from the pain in his shoulder. They'd been spotted, and Expellix was luckily working quickly. She'd stand. hoisting up her sword, before charging through the bushes, snapping and breaking them.

She was a rather head strong pony. No grace, no flare, all action. She'd lung at the closest Goblin, spinning mid air, swinging at the little shit.

Attack Used: Great Sword

Hit Roll: 28 (15+13)
Damage: 11 (2+7)

She'd come to a stop a little bit away, jabbing the sword into the ground to stop herself, glaring at the goblin.

"That IS why they call her Trick-"
As soon as the arrows flew Avedon pulled back, first for cover and then noticing the goblins hadn't spotted him. He reached for his pistol but quickly thought better of it, too loud and noisy, it'd just make matters worse. At least he saw that Leper was handling herself quite well. While he didn't like leaving a comrade to fight for themselves it was just a few goblins and keeping back was the overall smarter move incase there were more he could ambush and help her that way. Still he kept a close eye on the fight.
