Return to The Uncalled Four D&D Sessions
Return to The Haunted Keep (Moldvay Basic Sample Dungeon)
Amethist and Goblin C trade attacks. Goblin C is unable to harm her, and Amethist's mighty swing of her war hammer smashes him to the floor, killing him.
Goblin 2 attacks Hagar furiously, and Hagar is only barely able to fend off his attacks.
Goblin 3 is able to finally recover his weapon, but does not have a chance to attack this round.
Angar switches to attack Goblin 2 with his battle axe, but is unable to hurt him.
Whisper and Goblin D trade attacks. Goblin D's swing of his sword goes wide and Whisper takes advantage of the bad swing to stab it through the heart, killing him!
Hagar's attacks against Goblin 2 also fail to land any hits with damage. 
11} = ✨ 60 ✨
18 5} = ✨ 44 ✨Amethist's Cure Light Wounds spell fully heals Blackjack! (I used your initiative roll for the spell) He will be able to move and attack next round.
Whisper's arrow misses its target. There are a lot of people fighting in that doorway!
Goblin 2 is unable to hit Hagar.
✨ Hagar hits Goblin 3 with his battle axe, severely wounding him! ✨
Goblin 3 is thrown off by the hit, so his attacks on Angar are not successful.
Angar is then able to finish off Goblin 3 with his battle axe. Another goblin corpse on the floor!
Another goblin (Goblin 4) steps from the left side into place in the doorway to take a turn fighting. The goblins behind him pull Goblins 1 & 3's corpses out of the way.
Blackjack steps as close as he can to Angar's left, and readies his short bow (I'll roll for Blackjack)
Amethist returns to a position behind Angar and readies her sling. 12 4} = ✨ 33 ✨Whisper's next arrow flies true, killing Goblin 4 before he has a chance to even fight!
✨Amethist slings a rock at Goblin 2, rattling him ✨
Goblin 2 gets a swipe of his sword through Hagar's defenses, wounding him for 1 hp damage
Blackjack sees an opening in the fighting and shoots an arrow into Goblin 2, killing him!
Two more goblins step into the doorway, and their companions behind them pull the corpses of Goblins 2 & 4 out of the way.
} = ✨ 29 ✨ Blackjack's arrow flies true, piercing Goblin 6 through the heart (for 5 hp damage), killing him!
As she sees Goblin 6 fall, Whisper adjusts her aim toward Goblin 5, but misses her shot.
Hagar switches the swing of his axe toward Goblin 6 into a sideswipe toward Goblin 5 once he sees Goblin 6 fall. The swing from the side catches Goblin 5 completely by surprise (for 10 hp damage), slicing him in half at the waist!
Amethist is able to stop her sling throw in time, so is able to save a rock for the next enemy.
Angar takes advantage of both Goblin 5 and Goblin 6 falling to look further into the room and count the remaining enemies. "There are still 6 alive" he shouts to the rest of the party.
Round 10:
Seeing half of their group killed at the door, and hearing that the 4 secret guards have fallen, the remaining 6 goblins lose their nerve and run away from your party to the back of the room. Everyone but Blackjack has a direct line of sight to use missile attacks on the fleeing goblins this round. Since they are running with their backs to you, you all gain +2 to hit this round. The goblins are running away, and have no missile weapons, so they will not attack this round.
✨ Hagar quickly drops his sword and pulls up his crossbow, aims and shoots at Goblin 8. The change of weapons must have been too quick, because the crossbow bolt just embeds itself in the Goblin's arm (for 1 hp damage). ✨
Whisper's next shot misses the fleeing goblins.
Amethist's sling stone also misses the goblins.
Angar, however, expertly slings a stone into the back of Goblin 7's skull, knocking him down and killing him (for 6 hp damage) 
10 1 11} = ✨ 52 ✨ 11 15} = ✨ 73 ✨ 11 10 11} = ✨ 58 ✨ 19 4 19} = ✨ 50 ✨ 18 5 6 19 9 3 18 11 7} = ✨ 116 ✨ Whisper also carefully aims at Goblin 8, sinking an arrow into its chest (for 3 hp), killing it!
Goblin 9 comes to its senses, realizing that it doesn’t want to die without a fight, and runs back toward Angar (no attack this round).
Amethist, while trying to load her sling, drops the sling stone onto her own foot. She’ll have a -2 to attack next round.
Goblin 12, also coming to its senses, decides to run back toward Hagar (no attack this round).
Hagar stepping through the door and to the right, to make room for the rest of the group to enter, was carefully tracking Goblin 12 with his crossbow. He lets a bolt loose, hitting Goblin 12 squarely in the chest, dropping it in its tracks halfway across the room. It’s dead!
Angar steps in and to the left, loads his sling, and ignoring Goblin 9 running at him, slings the stone at Goblin 11, hitting it in the nose and face (for 4 hp), killing it! 
Angar, swings his Battle Axe casually at Goblin 9, dealing 2 hp of damage, killing it!
Amethist steps into the room, and slings a stone at Goblin 10, missing it. Blackjack advances to the door behind her.
Goblin 10, having to dodge 2 arrows, 1 crossbow bolt, and 1 sling stone, is still intimidated and cowers next to the altar.
16 7} = ✨ 52 ✨} = ✨ 8 ✨ 9} = ✨ 67 ✨ Angar uses his sling again, throwing a stone at the goblin, hitting it in the head (for 3 hp damage), killing it!
As you start to look around after the battle, you see that this room apparently used to be a chapel, but the altar is covered with dust. It appears that the goblins have turned it into a barracks, as there are 12 double bunks on the walls. Apparently they were playing a dice game in the northwest corner of the room, as dice are scattered on the floor there. Oddly, there are no coins anywhere in the room, not on the goblin bodies, not in the bunks, and not at the dice game. On the altar is a grime-covered statuette depicting a muscular man with a rat’s head. You don’t find anything of value in this room.
Blackjack and the rest of the group also have time to catch up on what occurred while the party was separated. If you haven’t read through the hidden spoiler posts above, feel free to do so now.
Next Step
First, add a whole 16 XP to your character post in #characters for killing off 16 goblins. Then describe your next actions, and finally, roll .turn dice.
