Can't get past Goblins and Guardian statue in Underground Passage

[Da_Nommy]

Title says it all. Am I missing something, am I just bad at this, or?? .. Help?

You can shoot at the Guardian statue before it activates. I eldritch blasted it to bits before it could attack me.

Yeah, this is what I did too. That was the easy part, actually. Fighting the goblins and keeping them from murdering that poor halfling(?) at 1 hp was the real challenge. Even then it came down to luck, since one of the archers kept shooting at him instead of me, though thankfully he missed because Finbar or whatever was prone.

If you have some fancy arrows, try putting fire or acid down beneath the goblins. Electricity can spread and kill Finbar, so avoid that if you want to save him.

Also, if the one guy summons the warg or whatever it is, kill the summoner instead of trying to kill the beast, since the beast will get unsummoned if the caster dies.

Nice thanks for the tips. May want to try and find Gale first then.. Didn't run into him yet somehow.

Really easy battle, takes planning. LAzel's MAge hand is invisible, so send it to the archer perched up top and shove :). One you start the ambush, you keep having a new character enter blasting the crap out of them, shoves, etc. a Simple heal will save him too. So many options.

What is the benefit of saving the druid Finbal. Not sure I should waste my time to continue to save him. Does it play into the story somehow?

[Rhawkas]

I don't know if he gives you anything, since I stole his circlet while he was unconscious. After healing him he just thanked me, told me why he was there and ran away.

Thanks for this! I keep forgetting that we can interact with the environment. Killing the goblins was the easy part of me for some reason. Kept the guy alive but didn't have a way to heal him. Is there a way to give potions to NPCs?

None that I could figure out. I wound up leaving and coming back with Gale, since he knew Healing Word. Try using a scroll if you have one for a healing spell. Otherwise you may have to go buy one or get Shadowheart to come help.

You can have your party sneak past it too.

Yes - I used ShadowHeart to cast a healing spell.

really no benefit , other then you can watch him get chunkies by the shadow druids- some reason they all target him first

I snuck the whole party past the guardian statue easily and moved down just enough to attack the gobbies without setting off he statue.

[bullse]

Statue(s) is/are easily destroyed, as are the Gobbos.

I have stopped the goblins from killing him and he just stayed unconscious forever. I couldn't wake him up and there was no consequence to it that I could see. Seems like he's supposed to die.
