Dungeons and Dragons

Great night last playing Dungeons and Dragons. Started the starter set adventure but instead of the pre done characters we all had our own.
I took Ragnor my barbarian and there was a Drow rogue and half elf monk in the party. 

We started off  being asked to escort a wagon of provisions to a neighbouring town by a dwarf. Needless to say it did not to according to plan and we ended in a fight with some goblins. My barbarian did not show his best side in this encounter missed every swing and went down to 2 HP! !! Thankfully the monk kicked ass for us and saved our bacon.
We tracked the goblins to thier lair only falling foul of one trap on the way


After some rest we located the goblins cave.  2 goblins were on guard duty. Some excellent sneaking by the drow and barbarian (yep the barbarian! ) resulted in a sneak attack. Finally my barbarian did his job and demolished some goblins! ! We headed inside the cave.  My barbarian hanging back as the drow and half elf had dark vision so could see in the dark! We found a room with some wolves which we promptly killed.  Then thanks to locating a secret passage (which i won't mention much about as I don't wanna spoil the story for other people ) we found the goblin leader with 2 other goblins and a wolf.


They had know idea we were there so we set up a plan of attack.  2 goblins were between us and the goblin warlord. The monk with an excellent throw of 2 darts took out the 2 goblins.  The Drow hurled a dagger hitting the wolf and my barbarian hefted his spear and threw it into the goblin warlord. Battle then erupted! The Drow killed the wolf the half elf jumped off my characters back and flipped over the warlord hitting him from behind.  My barbarian then finished the warlord off slicing him in half with a mighty swing! We searched the room found some loot  and some stolen provisions with a company name on.  Could be useful and there might be a reward from a grateful owner.  We went off to explore the rest of the cave.  We located some more goblins.  The half elf and Drow succesfully sneaked up behind 2 out of 3 goblins.  The half elf stabbed a goblin in the head with a dart killing it but the Drow missed! My barbarian ran in and cut the goblin down. A third goblin tried to escape but was cut down with a dart. The monk was absolutely deadly! The Drows rolls were going the way my barbarians did in the first battle.  After more exploring we located a camp/maybe a sort of barracks where 5 goblins were sat around a fire. The my 2 stealthy companions slipped into the darkness behind the goblins.  My barbarian then stepped out into the firelight and demanded the goblins surrender!  The plan was to have my call for surrender reinforced by a rapier and quarterstaff appearing at the goblins necks seemingly out of no where. How ever as my character said this a 6 goblin appeared on a ledge above holding our employers companion and demanding a truce. He wanted the head of the warlord (treacherous git! ), the human being held hostage told us not to trust him. My barbarian not being the smartest shouted "he'd be back guys"  and went off to get the  warlords head.  The goblins started to look around for anyone who could be there. Thanks to some excellent stealth the Drow scrambled up to the ledge where the goblin was holding his hostage.  The half elf soon followed but they could not get close enough. My barbarian returned and threw the warlords head to the floor. "Let the human go and be one you way!". Using this distraction the Drow and half elf got behind the goblin and human.  The half elf in an epic "This is Sparta!!" moment  kicked the goblin in the back sending him off the ledge. The Drow grabbed the human....and missed! The human tumbled to the floor going unconcious the goblin fell screaming as my barbarian swing his greatsword up and hacked the goblin apart as it fell! At this sight the 5 goblins fled last the barbarian.  Who with an opportunity attack took three of their heads off!! (I love DM discretion!!). After the battle we had a look around and my character found a shiny dagger which he gave to the Drow as he had lost his. We then loaded up the stolen supplies we had found and headed into town. We got a nice reward of gold for returning the stolen supplies and our fee for taking the original provisions into town.  After that it was off to the tavern!


A good night of drinking was had.  The Drow even swindled some patrons with his loaded dice. 
That day we had also learned that some bandits were causing problems for the town.  So obvously we decided in the morning to go and have a word with these ruffians at their tavern.
Next morning  We headed off and found their tavern with 3 thugs outside. They told is to run along and not to disturb them.....so we killed them!  The town master was not impressed as he said more would come. A pointed out that the towns folk wanted the bandits out and they couldn't come back if we went and killed them all. The town master told us where they were and off we went.

We stopped there as it was late and the DM said the next bit was a big bit.
Great night was had  and I really enjoyed D&D!
