(thanks for the update on the loot. )

Saca moves into a position from which she can shoot (crossbow) one of the dogs, preferably without risking to shoot Aimee, Cal or Lewis, if possible.
If not possible, Saca just approaches the fight and readies an action to shoot an enemy target as soon as one comes into range.

(crossbow shot: 1 D20 + 2 = [12]+2 = 14
(Ignore the second roll, I wanted to do the damage roll together with the crossbow shot roll and I messed it up somehow, and did the shot roll twice instead.)
Crossbowshot damage roll: 1D8 = [1] = 1

((If you haven't already figured out the formatting, to do damage roll along with the attack roll, you want to include a semicolon between. ie, 1d20+2;1d8 ))

Kryz follows Aimee and growls mean things about the cloest wolf's parentage.

((Vicious Mockery, as before - as long as the target can hear Kryz, the spell is potentially effective. Travelling all day today, so going to be in and out of access))

Aimee begins targeting the left wolf, while most others target the right. With some mocking words from Kriz, she is able to finish it off with her second blow. Meanwhile, the wolf on the right is a little singed, a little insulted, and was the victim of a light poke from an arrow, but still up and fighting.

Saca reloads and shoots again (unless something happens that would stop her, e.g. one of the group getting in the way, more goblins appearing that should be shot first, etc.)

Another Crossbowshot & Damage roll: 1D20+2 = [2]+2 = 4
1D8 = [2] = 2

Aimee throws a lazily aimed but powerful blast at the remaining wolf.

Calrick joins the others in firing near the wolf to scare it.

Firebolt: 1D20+5 = [4]+5 = 9
1D10 = [3] = 3

Gathers (on guidance):

Just to check Rodgeir, was Aimee's lazily aimed but powerful blast your way of saying you rolled an attack roll, but it would have been a miss?

Balin decides to join in the fun and snaps off a shot.

cross bow attack: 1D20 = [14] = 14

cross bow damage: 1D8 = [3] = 3

(not sure of the armor class of these things, so I rolled damage in case of a hit )

((Sam - yep pretty much. I don't know what a wolf has for armor class but it is likely more than 9.))

Balin joins in, shooting at the wolf. Definitely a stronger blow, but still not enough to finish it off. The wolf seems like it's on its last legs though, and its barking isn't quite as energetic.

Calrick is starting to feel bad for the wolf, and tries to give it a merciful death, but only succeeds in further terrorizing it with a firebolt zipping past.

Firebolt: 1D20+5 = [3]+5 = 8
1D10 = [8] = 8

((no idea what the turn order is at the moment, but in case I'm holding things up:))

Kryz draws his rapier and attacks the wolf, hopefully putting it out of it's misery.

Attack: 1D20+4 = [12]+4 = 16


Attack: 1D8+2 = [7]+2 = 9

((Yay, something that will likely hit! Don't worry everyone, we're getting all our bad rolls out on these wolves, right? ))

((Thank goodness they were chained up otherwise it would have probably been a TPK...))

(( ))

After Calrick spurts flames into the wolf's general direction, a direct hit from Kriz finally puts the poor mutt out of it's misery.

Roll perception or investigation if you want to further explore the kennel area, or stealth if you want to sneakily explore the rest of the cave. (Or forget the stealth roll if you want to let the goblins know you're here)

Aimee will whisper,

"Let me go check it out!"

She will sneak forward and take a look around, mostly checking for goblins, traps, ways forward or potentially Gundren and Sildar.

If it looks clear she will wave everyone forward.

Sneaking with advantage and looking around: 2D20.HIGH(1)+4 = [9, 10]+4 = 14
1D20+1 = [18]+1 = 19

Saca gathers up her crossbow bolts as quietly as she can and otherwise stays put for now, until she gets waved froward. She also loads her crossbow again and lies in wait, in case any more enemies appear.
"If they didn't come running at the wolfs barking like crazy, I kind of doubt that they will if you talk too loudly, but then again, they could all be laying in ambush in the dark nooks of this caves for all I know. So be careful." she whispers back to Aimee.

Being stealthy while picking crossbowbolts up (with guidance): 1D20+0+1D4 = [14]+0+[3] = 17

(wow, she's super sneaky today. ^^)

Perception roll: 1D20+3 = [5]+3 = 8

((Except it is at disadvantage due to her clunky armor so you can roll another d20 and take the lower of the two ))

Kryz takes a look around the kennel while the others sneak off.

Investigation: 1D20-1 = [19]-1 = 18

Balin lets Alma and Saca do the sneaking. He elects to stay put and guard the others while they investigate.

Perception:1d20+2 = [10] = 12
(He's being rather casual about it. )

(Right, I forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me.
I took the 3 from the guidance this time as plain value, since it would be the same for both rolls, right?)

(second roll for stealthily picking up crossbow bolts, guidance): 1D20+0+3 = [12]+0+3 = 15

(still super sneaky today. )
