<strong><span class="bbc_u">Adjudication:</span></strong><br/><br/><strong>1.  EVANGELINE</strong><br/><br/>Wrapped in a veil of magic, Evangeline crossed the grassy plain unobserved.  As she drew nearer to the cave mouth, she realized that she had to cross the stream ahead of her, so that she was in between the brush and water.<em>The GM must now roll an opposed skill check between Evangeline's stealth check and nearby goblins' perception check.</em>Evangeline rolls a natural 20!  There is no way the goblins hiding in a hitherto unnoticed blind can prevail in noticing her, even as she splashes across the stream.<br/><br/>Alas, Evangeline reaches the mouth of the cave unobserved.  To her right, there is a goblin blind:<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><strong>Area B: The Goblin Blind</strong><br/><br/>On the east side of the stream flowing from the cave mouth, a small area in the briar thickets has been hollowed out ot form a lookout post.   Wooden planks flatten out the briars and provide room for guards to lie hidden and watch the area, including a pair of goblins lurking there right now.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>The goblins are both armed with shortbows.  Their attention, however, is diverted by a hushed conversation.  Evangeline, you do not speak Goblin, so you do not understand them.<br/><br/>From her position at the mouth of the cave, Evangeline can scarcely see inside, as it is incredibly dark within.  However, a primal stench nearly punches her in the face with how awful it is.  It's like, amplified fox urine.  She cave leads to a ten-foot-wide gallery which curves rightwards.  Between where the cave starts and curves rightwards, there appears to be an entrance to another cave gallery.<br/><br/><strong>2.  KATHRA.</strong><br/><br/>Kathra, you are very familiar with caves.  You know the following basics:<br/><br/>1.  This cave probably has steeply sloping ceilings that create stalactite covered vaults rising 20 to 30 feet above the floor.<br/><br/>2.  This cave is probably going to be dark inside.  Your friends will definitely need light sources.<br/><br/>3.  This cave will probably have rubble.  Rubble is difficult terrain.<br/><br/>4.  This cave has a stream.  That means that the sound of water will muffle voices to any creatures that aren't listening carefully.<br/><br/>5.  This cave probably has stalagmites coming up from the floor.  You can probably use these for cover.<br/><br/>6.  The stream is probably going to be shallow, cold, and slow-moving.  It will not be difficult to wade through it.<br/><br/>(https://i.imgur.com/LJOxpGg.png)
