@VashTheStampede rules of engagement for us rookie plebs, Cap'n'. Traditionally does D&D have, like, rescue and escort missions? I.e., will the two bosses attack the captive before they're untied?

Exactly how many eggs must be broken here.

(And all the more reason my beautiful, Wonderful Idea™ may have been more awesome if it worked. :bawl)

Rescue and escort situations are definitely possible in D&D. The plus side is that you're not typically grappling with horrendous AI. NPCs (good and bad) are legitimate characters in their own right and will act in ways that make sense for their situation.

In this particular situation the NPC is bound and the goblins seem like they've been torturing him...possibly for fun or possibly for other reasons.

There's no big glaring OBJECTIVE that you're trying to complete, not really a binary situation like a video game.

I'm not sure I'm making a lot of sense but I'm trying to answer the question without ruining the story, if that makes sense.

Yeah and it was Kutshort's wise idea to take the snake path to start - we are a collective failure that is about to get massacred.

Also,

Dude and Dragmire just sitting romantically together in the darkness only lit by Dude's sword. Kinda cute.

Oh I'm sorry but did you miss when the one goblin literally ran away in fear from Tortle Dude because his boss couldn't do a damn thing to Dude?

Dude doesn't take damage.


...or deal it usually.

...and Dude is already just chilling wayyyy back there.

7 goblins, the three of you, and the wolf will all likely act before Dude.

...but let's not forget Dude's foresight healing T'anks to full HP because he expected something like this to happen.
