...would the smoke from the smoldering goblin corpses in front of us perhaps serve to obscure the remaining archer's aim, in case he or she decides to start firing at us again?

No, they're more smouldering than smoking. It wouldn't be enough to count as concealment.

Alright, so for those of you who don't know yet, notARobot has quit the game. Nuke hasn't logged in three weeks and hasn't posted in almost six weeks. So right now, it's basically just Gravity and Horizon.
This is a dilemma, because I wanted this game to be populated only by people I know and who I have gamed with before, as I am still learning 5E and that was the whole point of running this module. But as it stands now, two people are not enough to run this module; even with Iroas to help, we're short the bare minimum needed for balance purposes (which is four). I don't want to recruit strangers for this game, but at this point, it looks like the only alternative is to shut it down.
What do you all think?

Well. That sucks. However, if shutting down the game is what you think needs to be done, I can go along with it. I could also invite my brother, but that's kind of an extreme solution.

Quite the opposite, actually. Given the choice, I'd much rather continue the game. It's a really good opportunity for me to learn how to run 5E. And as far as modules go, it's pretty well made.
At least for now, I can NPC Djan until we finish the Cragmaw Cavern. Even if I had new players right here, and they had character sheets all ready to go, it's kind of awkward to introduce new PCs in the middle of an adventure. So if I do recruit, it will have to wait for chapter 2 anyway.
Can you elaborate on what you mean by inviting your brother being an 'extreme situation?'

Sorry, poor word choice. I was trying to express "drastic measure," though even that is more of a comedic exaggeration. You see, my brother has little experience in playing RPGs, and even less doing so on a PbP. I'd have to walk him through it quite a bit.

With just the two of us, what are the chances of surviving the module?

I have to admit, I have no idea what spell Fosco is talking about. I've gone over the spells Iroas knows and can't find any that fit that description. The module is designed for 4-6 people. Iroas counts as one, so that would be three including Fosco and Orianna. So we would need at least one more person to run it.
I could try and re-balance it for three, but I'm worried I don't have enough experience to do that properly.
I could try adding a second NPC, as well.
Otherwise, the only option is to recruit one more person, minimum.

It's Thaumaturgy, by the way. I didn't realize that it wasn't a spell Iroas knew.

Oh, I think Orianna knows that spell.

Anyway, my brother has expressed interest in joining the game, if you'll have him.

Sure, that works for me.
Is he joining your game, too? Is he your older or younger brother, by the way?

Maybe, and younger, respectively.

How young are we talking here? The age range for this module is 12 or up.

Perfect! He turned 12 in February.
