Serious

Tav: "There are a lot of lives on the line. Lets be serious about this."

Karlach: "Right. Sorry boss"

Shadowheart: "There are a bunch of explosive barrels over there. Perhaps we could blow them up?"

Lae'zel: "T'chaki, of course you suggest the least honourable option."

Tav: "Its a safe bet. Honour isnt more important than alive."

Lae'zel silences herself, and all eyes fall on me. For a moment, theres silence.

Tav: "Alright. Heres the plan. Karlach, Lae'zel, you two gather up those explosive barrels and stack them up over there. Shadowheart, you hide up in the rafters waiting for my signal. When I give it, throw a firebolt and blow the barrels up. Im going to draw everyone into the blast zone."

The ladies all nod and get to work. About 15 minutes pass before Karlach gives me the all set signal. I nod and descend the ladder into the encampment proper. With a scroll of invisibility ready, I take a deep breath and begin pounding on the drum.

Everything else falls silent immediately, very closely followed by war cries and rushed footsteps approaching from all directions.

DUM DUM DUM.

I pound away at the drum until I see a Goblin round the corner. I flip her the bird and cast shatter, sending thunder reverberating through all the halls. There is a roar of anger as the footsteps quicken, drawing quickly closer.

I pop my invisibility and retreat up the nearby ladder. As I reach the top, I shout, as loud as I can.

Tav: "NOW!"

I see a spark manifest as the room fills with countless goblins, including the three leaders. The spark flies across the room and collides with one of the smokepowder barrels and...

BOOM

...

...

...

...

My ears ring, and my vision is blurry as I pick myself up off the floor. A pounding headache clears my mind as I peer down upon the carnage.

Flames roar everywhere, charred and obliterated corpes litter the floor and walls and Karlach, Lae'zel and Shadowheart cheer, standing above the carnage.

We reconvene and I fall against the wall, slumping down to rest my shell shocked head.

Shadowheart: "That was incredible"

Lae'zel: "Supremely effective"

Karlach: "That was awesome! Im gunna keep an eye out for more smokepowder so we can do that again!"

Tav: "Im gunna sit here for a moment. I was WAY too close to that. Go loot the place."

I wave my hands shooing them away. With a worrying amount of glee, the girls all but skip away to pick through the dead.

About an hour passes until they return.

Karlach: "Lets go let the Teiflings know the good news!"
