Karnog you mentioned moving closer, so I double moved you to G-14 which is near the cave. You are also near Vatilda.
Kalim will move to K,-13 to try to get a better view.
Kalim you will have an overhang of tree branches but you can make a perception check.
Although reluctant to continue burning through her power, Vatilda is far too rankled by the goblin archer to allow him to live any longer. She fires a dark bolt at him, then moves to the side of the cave mouth. With her back against the wall, she watches the others make their way to the cave.
The goblin archer is pushed back onto the cave ledge wall, his bow is out of his hand, he appears unconscious or dead.
kalim you see the GA get blasted back against the hill wall. You, also, notice some small hand holds dug out of the rock leading up to the ledge.
He'll try to climb them.
Having notched the bolt, Nibb walks towards the goblin archer and shoots the goblin.
The goblin archer has two bolts in him from Nibb and looks deceased.
----
Kalim is able to get up on the ledge.
You notice he has nice small size long bow, a quiver of 7 remaining arrows.
There is a lot of rumbling and chitter coming from inside the cave.
Kalim the goblin has a nice small sized, longbow, and afew arrows. Two of the arrows have black and red fetching form the other 4 arrows in his quiver. He has nice looking small sized chain shirt, small sized hatchet on his size and he has five filled potion bottles. He has a small coin pouch that has small ruby chip, 12 sp, 23 cp in it.
"Gather round lads and lass. Allow the power of the Creator to soothe your wounds."
Once everyone is within 30', Karnog uses another channel to heal.
Rammellorn moves within 30 feet of Karnog for a bit o tha blessing. Thanks, cousin!He mentions to Karnog.
Nibb moves towards Karnog as he call him. Upon feeling the positive energy healing his wounds, he lets slip a sigh of relief.
"You have my gratitude, brother Karnog."
Kalim manages to come back with some nice gear from the goblin archer. It's a composite longbow for a small character 12 str.
You can see inside the cave and there is wall of barrels stacked.
Kalim rolls his eyes.
I don't like the look of those barrels. Seems just a bit to perfectly placed to block the tunnel and slow us down. I suspect either a trap or an ambush.
perception, with darkvision 60'
Vatilda remains on the edge of the cave, allowing the others to file in front of her. She draws her knobby mace and grips it tightly to address the itch on her casting palm.
Long axe to the ready, Rammellorn moves to the forefront of the group expecting more dangerous goblin shenanigans. He is hoping to squelch them quickly.
Karnog takes up his spot in the middle of the group, lasso and shield equipped.
"I've got a bad feeling about this.."
Any way we can pull the barrels outta the way without getting close? There could be oil in them or who knows what else. Either way we need da be carefuly.
iffin ya want, I could chop one open with me axe. Rammellorn suggests, adding, Anyone got a way a makin sure there's no one in em?

Long axe to the ready, Rammellorn moves to the forefront of the group expecting more dangerous goblin shenanigans. He is hoping to squelch them quickly.
You can hear shuffling and you see a couple spears poking out form behind the makeshift barrel barricade. The chattering in goblin sounds like this
to your ears, "%fo@bknaludmjkeagiy madka duihkdlan jdsiayen omsudkahnt"
Well that settles that. Varl grunts in dwarven while pointing to the barrels with his axe. Rammellorn you want to use your long-axe to clear us a path? I'll be right behind you if they try to pepper ya with arrows. Of course I also got me some fire in o' bottle if ya want da light da barrels on fire.
Rammellorn carefully chops at the top of a barrel to make sure there are no hostages inside. If there be no one inside, I say light em up and let's smoke em out!
Are ye ready to surrender, vermin? Rammellorn yells out in common.
"The cave is most likely trapped." Argrim whispers. He slowly creeps up looking for traps.
"It's too bad we can't search that floor in front of the barrel from out here in cover. That would be real helpful." He whispers in frustration approaching the obvious ambush.
Initiative Order:
Nibb
Goblin 2
Goblin 1
Argrim
Kalim
Vatilda
Karnog
Rammellorn
Varl
Even with the darkvision, the dwarves can only see up to the barrels and some curving wall beyond. You are fairly certain that there are a couple goblins on the other side of the barrels.
Argrim begins to sneak into the cave hugging the wall low.
There their is a clicking sound after he carelessly triggers the arrow traps string,
Tttthuump as an arrow flies.
;
Striking true.
"Ouch." Argrim whispers in pain trying not to give away his position. He pulls the arrow out gritting his teeth.
There is one goblin peaking over the barrel following the sound of the arrow.
Come on out here ya cowards!, Rammellorn yells at the goblins in common hoping to provoke them into view.
yakify maucklub!
Toad slime!
There is enough light you to see Kalim and Vatilda.
Kalim will cast Daze on the first goblin he sees.
"Watch out! There are traps in there! Don't be reckless or you can get even more hurt..."
Then Nibb focus, trying to expand his senses beyond... to the cave interior.
The adrenalin from battle still rushes through Vatilda, the others' words are still incomprehensible as is the delay...
"Fluerid ven gorchak arask sh'otiar, nef grottul!"
"Scare the goblins from their barricade, and charge!"
She stows her mace, and pulls an everburning torch from her pack. She brandishes it as though she intends to bash the barrels herself with it.
Rammellorn readies his long axe for action.
RD1:
Nibb you don't sense any other traps up to the barrels but you do notice that they are stacked with a slight slant towards you.
The goblins hold until someone gets closer. This does suggest that the ones at this line of defense do not have crossbows.
"Let me see if I can disrupt their little setup!"
Karnog spins his lasso a couple times before releasing it to catch on one of the barrels tipped towards us.
There's some giggling from behind the barrels, you all can see some well placed peep holes.
