"Seems legit." Niles agrees.

You go northwest and find yourselves in a cave with an exit to the east and one very startled jinkin gremlin. Roll initiative!

"Well, that was lucky." Niles quips, knocking an arrow in preparation for combat.

(Initiative: 1d20+2= 10)

(Initiative: 1d20+0=11)

(Initiative 12+3 =15)

(Initiative: 1d20+3 = 21)

(I cannot believe how crappily I keep rolling for the monsters' intitiative.)

Order:
Harskgun: 21
Manizei: 15
Enlali: 11
Niles: 10
Gremlin: 8
Emma: ???

Harskgun scratches his head momentarily, trying to make sense of the strange little creature - and then he charges at it, seeking to stab it with his dagger, Foe-Stabber

(Attack: 1d20+8 = 23)
(Damage: 1d6+1 = 3 piercing damage)

Considering her musket for a moment, Manizei is forced to put it aside for now as Harksgun charges in with her dagger.
With a surprising little angry growl, she instead charges in herself, swiping at the gremlin with the long claws and fine blades on her free hand.

(Attack: 1d20+6= 20, damage: 1d4+1 =5)

(Gremlin's dead. And in the interest of speeding this up...)

Two more gremlins wander in from the eastern passage to see what all the commotion is. Same initiatives. Go!

Harskgun can't charge either of the new gremlins with his short, stubby legs, so he instead moves closer to one and casts Infuse Weapon on his dagger to boost it's damage.
(+1 fire damage, lasts for 2 rounds)

With a clear shot at the gremlins, Manizei brings her rifle back around, pausing for a moment to aim before firing at the destructive, sabotaging little creatures.
(attack: 1d20+6= 26
Confirmation? 1d20+6= 19
Damage: 1d12 =7.)

(DM: Boom, headshot. One down.)

(I'm not sure which gremlin just got 360NoScoped, so if it's not the one within my reach, let me know and I can adjust this.)

Enlali dashes toward the sad, lone little gremlin and whips her bardiche up to slash.

(Attack: 1d20+5=25 rolled a 20
Confirm: 1d20+5=11 sooo nope
Damage: 1d10+4=12)

The last gremlin kinda stands there staring for a moment, and then his halves fall to the ground in opposite directions. 405 XP (135x3)

The eastern cave awaits! In it you find nothing immediately obvious but a passageway to the north. (Perception checks please.)

(Perception: 1d20+3 = 20)
