Mockery kills!

Dear Journal,
 
I finally got to check “mock a bad guy to death” off my to-do list! Super excited, but I’m getting ahead of the story, right? Haha!!
 
After a bit of fun with our ranger, Dagos, who got shitfaced and yet still managed to track the goblins (well, there WERE a whole bunch of them, after all), we found the lair guarded by a couple of goblins and a frickin Bugbear. We took them out pretty quickly and snuck up the stream but that’s where the easy part was done. Also, this short bow is a piece of shit and I couldn’t seem to hit the broad side of a tavern with it today.
 
We managed to dispatch a pack of wolves and somehow avoid detection by the other inhabitants of the lair, but needed to retreat to heal up, get spells back, yada yada boring stuff while we plotted our return.
 
So we get back and there are MORE guards outside. I guess they figured out their wolves and guards didn’t just wander off? Muahahahaha!!!! So anyway.
 
Given their field of view it made sense to me to start shooting the big guy in the back and then take care of the little guys in front. Oh-sheen explained to me later this this was stupid. It did, however, work, in the end, pretty much. I mean, we didn’t DIE, did we?
 
Back to the story… Of course the whole mountain started spitting out goblins and bugbears and hobgoblins, oh my! We set up around the mouth of the stream and began to deal some death as each one emerged. Not finding that shitty bow to be any use, I started using my most vicious mockery to distract the villains. And it fucking WORKED! I mean, not all the time and not everyone, but one of those little assholes keeled over on the second try. I was SO STOKED!
 
Might have gotten a little full of myself, if I’m being perfectly open and honest. But I saw the shot and I took it. There was an opening at a moment when a bunch of them were grouped together and I ran in and cast Thunderwave again. It was like goblin/bugbear bowling the way they bounced around that cave! Killed THREE of them at once! BOOM! So awesome. Except for the part where I didn’t notice the captain off to my right just waiting to brain me. So, yeah, that was fun. Got knocked out for a bit but it’s all good now and just as soon as this headache clears up I am definitely writing an epic to commemorate the day!
 
Stoked by the new companions, too. We’re gonna need a catchy name. Maybe a banner and a tip jar with our sigil on it. Just throwing out the idea. Nothing firm yet. But how cool would that be? Yep.
 
Oh and I guess that merchant we ran into has some stuff for us to do and we found something that indicates some nefarious plot. Will figure that out after we get back and do a little shopping and a little more drinking, amirite?!?! Ha!
