Corinna follows Rajah gratefully, having never actually touched anything dead herself. As he settles Lady on the back of the pony, she hears Gilfroy's remark and turns to the cleric with concern. "But ... I thought all the goblins were dead?" She remains next to Umbral, watching the others at the ladder anxiously.
His attention caught by Gil's statement, he looks to Corinna as she speaks and then turns his vision to where Gilfroy is heading. Looking back to Corinna, "It looks as if the others are soon to find out, love." Feeling it's not a good idea to leave Corinna by herself, Rajah takes a few steps away from the pony attempting to observe what is going on with the others.
Malan opens the door to reveal a very messy single room with numerous sleeping pallets on the floor. Three goblins wait just within with dogslicers drawn and ready. They scream, as if terrified.
Order: Goblins, Melon, Gilfroy, Malan, Corinna, Aago, Walthus, Blue Rajah.
All three goblins swipe at Malan. #1 hits him across his thigh, while #3 swings too far to the side. #2 brings his dogslicer straight down and hits the floor of the hut with a smack. A large crack appears in his weapon. He stares at it wide-eyed.
Next Up: Gilfroy, Malan, Corinna, Aago, Walthus, Blue Rajah, Goblins.
Gilfroy screams out, first in Common, then Goblin. "We need answers," he adds more quietly in Common.
The goblins yelp in fright at the sound of Gilfroy. They babble a bit.
"Yeah, not walking bones!"
"Kill 'em! Make 'em bones!"
"Yeah, we make bones!"
"Never mind," Gilfroy amends. "Take 'em out."
Malan jumps back off the ladder in a failed attempt to keep from being stabbed. He casts Daze as he falls backwards.
Daze save DC 13
Corinna delays and hopes that the more martial party members will soon have this tiny pocket of survivors mopped up without needing her help.
Melon prepares herself for attack.
Next Up: Malan, Corinna, Aago, Walthus, Blue Rajah, Goblins, Melon (subject to readied action).
Bluff:
He gives the secret "illusion" signal, then uses ghost sound to create the sounds of flames licking at the building's walls.
The goblins' eyes go wide as the sound of flames starts up.
Malan jumps off the ladder to the ground, casting a spell as he goes. Unfortunately the goblin's panic at the fire gives it greater resolve to resist his spell.
Corinna waits.
Next Up: Walthus, Blue Rajah, Goblins, Melon (subject to readied action), Gilfroy, Malan, Corinna (subject to delayed action).
"Draw them out of that hut! I can't reach them otherwise."
Aago says as he moves to Malan's side and readies to grab at a goblin who comes within reach.
Walthus moves past the gate , pulling out his longbow. He then shoots an arrow over the heads of Melon and Malan at goblin #3.
Unfortunately, his arrow thuds into the door frame.
Next Up: Goblins, Melon (subject to readied action), Gilfroy, Malan, Corinna (subject to delayed action), Aago (subject to readied action), Walthus.
Rajah remains where he is, watching and waiting to see what happens.
The goblins scream at the sound of the fire burning and rush the door. #1 leaps out and over Malan's head, landing just past the elf .
Melon's fist slams into the side of the goblin's head. The goblin spins around and falls face first in the dirt. Aago also makes a go for the goblin, but unfortunately, the goblin is down by the time he reacts
Goblin #2 trips as he jumps and lands face first on top of #1 . Goblin #3 leaps over Malan, lands on the two goblins already on the ground, but keeps going .
Next Up: Attacks of Opportunity from , Gilfroy, Malan, Corinna (subject to delayed action), Walthus, Blue Rajah, Melon, Aago, Goblins.
As the goblins come hurtling out of the building, Aago tries to grab the first but Melon was too fast for him, knocking it instantly to the ground. So instead he spins on his heel, sweeping out with the other leg in an effort to deliver it a solid blow with a roundhouse kick.
Malan stabs at the third goblin as he jumps overhead.
Rapier: arcane pool (+1)

After Melon's AoO, Gilfroy steps to L63, shouting out in Goblin,
Then, firmly hidden behind Melon, he reaches up to slap a guidance spell on her bottom.
Melon smacks the goblin who acted like a fool and fell before her, then, feeling a surge of confidence when the gnome tapped her bottom, she rushes after the other goblin and hammers his skull.
As #2 falls on top of #1, Melon gives him a swift kick to his back. He stops moving. Then #3 comes jumping past, but a quick stab from Malan results in the goblin also landing face first (on top of the other two) and no longer moving.
As Gilfroy laughs at the goblins and gives Melon a bit of guidance, no one notices another goblin come round the south corner of the building until it's too late . The disgusting-looking goblin is covered with large pimples and boils and carries a nasty-looking dogslicer. He attacks Aago, giving him a nasty cut across the back of his knee and thigh.
From another of the buildings , you hear the sound of more goblins.
Next Up: Corinna (subject to delayed action), Walthus, Blue Rajah, Melon, Aago, Goblins, Gilfroy, Chuffy.
"There's more! Watch out!"
Malan steps to N63 then O62 to attack the vile, malicious, smelly, stupid goblin.
Rapier: arcane pool (+1)
to hit damage
"More?" Corinna wails in alarm. "Is it a trap? An ambush? Quickly! Get out before they pen you in there!" She backs away from the source of the danger, her hands weaving the air as she speaks words to harden it into a protective shell around her.
Malan moves in to confront the newly arrived goblin, but unfortunately his rapier thrust misses its mark. Corinna casts her spell.
Walthus moves round the group to get a clearer shot and then fires of an arrow at the goblin.
The arrow flies over the goblin's head and lodges in the side of the building.
Next Up: Melon, Aago, Goblins, Gilfroy, Chuffy, Malan, Corinna, Walthus.
Melon moves to surround the obstinate goblin.
Aago almost stumbles to his knees as the foul goblin comes out of nowhere and stabs him in the leg. Acting on instinct, he spins around with a whirl, sweeping his injured leg out to catch the goblin in the head.
Turned to face the goblin now, he drops into his snapping turtle stance, one hand extended to ward off any blows.
"You filthy bugger," he growls.
Noticing Aago get cut, "Excuse me, Lady Corinna. Gilfroy." He says as he moves next to Aago and lays a healing hand upon him.
Melon moves to surround the obstinate goblin.
Also, she has an additional +1 from the guidance spell, since this is the first time she's acted since Gilfroy cast it (her readied action occurred in round 2, so what you posted for round 2 never occurred). She still misses though. :)
As Rajah provides Aago with a hefty dose of healing, Melon slips around the group to attack the goblin. Unfortunately, he easily dodges her attack. However, he is distracted enough by her attack to allow Aago the chance to kick him in the back of the head.
Just then, the door of the building to the southeast opens and three more goblins jump out. The first lands on the ground just in front of the door. The other two move past her and attack Walthus.
Walthus easily ducks beneath their clumsy swings.
Next Up: Chuffy, Malan, Corinna, Walthus, Blue Rajah, Melon, Aago, Goblins.
Not really having any tricks for this situation, Gilfroy casts bless on the party, giving everybody +1 morale bonuses to attack and saves versus fear.
By the way, he had moved to L63 last round.
His eyes still on the goblin before him, Aago still takes a moment to acknowledge Rajah's actions.
"You have my thanks," he says.

The little goblin smiles a too big smile then dashes around Melon and further into the village.
Can I move defensively? Withdraw and acrobatics past Melon without drawing an AoO.
Acrobatics
That is he attempts to dash past Melon.
Malan moves behind Walthus (Q63) and casts Acid Splash at 04.

Under building.
Melon kicks, but her foot just cleanly parts air.
Chuffy slips past Melon and rushes underneath the walkway just to the south and then under a building.
Malan moves behind Walthus and sends a glob of acid hurtling at goblin #4. It hits the goblin on the side of the face. Her eyes widen and she screeches in pain.
Next Up: Walthus, Blue Rajah, Melon, Aago, Goblins, Gilfroy, Chuffy, Malan.
"I'm coming for you gnome."
Gilfroy, his eyes widening even further in excitement as the goblin taunts him, then looks back at Corinna briefly before responding in Goblin:
Corinna is horrified to see goblins spill down the ladder, with nothing between them and her but her magical armor. She scoops nothingness into her hand and wills it into corrosive existence, pointing two fingers at the nearest goblin, before stepping behind the shelter of the palisade. In her panic, she begins to move too soon, however, and the acid fizzles out of existence nearer Walthus than the goblin. Breathing heavily with fear, she presses her back against the wooden planks and draws her crossbow.
Walthus notices the acid come near him, but seems unfazed by it as it doesn't hit him. With the goblins upon him, he drops his bow and draws his handaxe.
He brings the axe down squarely into goblin #5's shoulder.
Next Up: Melon, Aago, Goblins, Gilfroy, Chuffy, Malan, Corinna, Walthus.
His eyes still on the goblin before him, Aago still takes a moment to acknowledge Rajah's actions.
"You have my thanks," he says.
"Can't have you falling down on us with so many of these wretched creatures about now can we?" He says with a wry smile as he places a hand on his shoulder, murmurs a prayer to Sarenrae, and then gives a wink and a nod to Aago as he steps back and surveys the scene to see how the others are doing.
Rajah steps aside after giving Aago a boost.
Next Up: Aago, Goblins, Gilfroy, Chuffy, Malan, Corinna, Walthus, Blue Rajah.
Annoyed that all the goblins have moved away from him, Aago makes his way around the pit past Rajah and steps into place behind the goblin facing Walthus, fists clenched and hand out as a shield.
He laughs. "They're streaming out of this building like rats from a sinking ship! Let's squash them under our heels, my friends!"
"Why are there so many? It was deserted a moment ago," Melon quickly closes in next to Walthus and attacks . After the fountain of blood clears, there is another dead goblin lying on the floor.
Melon quickly closes in next to Walthus and attacks . After the fountain of blood clears, there is another dead goblin lying on the floor.
Melon moves in and with a swift punch, sends #6 careening to the ground.
Aago moves around the pit and comes at #4. With a quick strike, the goblin ends up face-first in the dirt.
#5 attacks Walthus, and gets a lucky hit along the halfling's thigh.
Right at that moment, the door of the building just south opens and more goblins pour out onto the walkway. One moves just over Malan and the other over Walthus . They lean over the edge and attack while another goblin remains in the doorway.
Malan takes a cut alongside his ear, while Walthus takes one across the top of his head.
Next Up: Chuffy, Malan, Corinna, Walthus, Blue Rajah, Melon, Aago, Goblins.
The little goblin runs out of his hidey hole (to P62) and slashes snicker-snack at Malan.
