The grey blur that is Ali in wolf form streaks to the nearest goblin, jumping to rip it's throat out.
Attack=(Natural 20!)24, Dam=7, Initiative=19

The surprise round goes like this.(also taking Inakais round one action into account)
Ali bursts through the door and leaps on a goblin, bringing it down in a welter of blood.
Inakai swings hard but his Morning star is stopped by his targets armour. He changes the angle on the back swing and brains the horrible little creature which collapses at his feet.
Muchorak strides in and fells a third of the screeching humanoids with one sure stroke of his longsword.
Jael's weapon rips into the belly of a fourth goblin which collapses in a heap.He pauses to curse the dying creature
The goblins begin to react but they are obviouly stunned by the speed of your attack
Initiative order
Inaki 24
Ali 19
Murchorak 11
Goblins 8
Jael 6
Muchorak will proceed to the next Goblin (Dodge as the surprise round)and strike out with his Longsword.
(D20= 9+3= 12, dmg D8=4+2=6)
The wolf races to rip the stomach out of the next closest Goblin
Attack=18
Dam=5
Taking advantage of the Goblin's poor combat skills Muchorak swings his Longsword.
(D20= 15+3=18, Dmg D8= 3+2=5)
Ali will make sure she leaves at least one Goblin alive
Not being able to speak Goblin and not being very interested or even aware of interrogation techniques, Ali will instead look for the woman they came to rescue

The wolf places herself between the door and the goblins who, caught as they are between her and the others, collapse in surrender.
The goblins appear to have been pouring glass on the dismembered bodies of up to eight people ...a ninth person, an older man has been arranged in a chair in the middle alcove and is fully encased, chair and all.It's almost as if he has been made a bizzare decoration.
(OOC How many Goblins remain alive?)
Muchorak moves to the surrending Goblins, his weapon still at the ready, "I don't suppose anyone can speak to these creatures?"
"I can." The handsome Varisian man replied to his muscular compatriot. "Though their tongue sickens me - it is not pleasant to listen to, or speak."
Pointing his bloody blade at the goblin he had just wounded, Jael speaks in a guttural, brutish tongue.
"O Daagaan! Dec o akhan ghac-duul? Duun an rhuun?"
Translation:
"If they are reluctant to speak I can do something that should frighten them a great deal. Tell them I will climb into the furnaces and pull them in with me." [/ooc]

Currently there are two goblins on their feet(one badly wounded) three goblins are staggered(on 0 HP)and three more are bleeding out.
The goblins eyes widen as Inaki demonstrates his mastery of fire. The unwounded one turns to Jael with fear in his eyes and babbles.
Ootha kuduja sanath...Jarig suthok ferastaz....Repnugga hotha sadarva rhuun..Mawneka sheleshtlo gandatharg Dasttoga.
Jael
At this point a squad of the watch burst into the room...their reaction upon seeing what has happened varies from relief at not having to fight to one young lad being noisily ill in a corner.
The Squad Commander a grizzled old veteran approaches you. You notice that all the watch seem to be either too old or too young
Ali remains in her wolf form, keeping an eye on her prisoners and an ear on teh goings on
Muchorak moves to intercept the Watch Commander, gesturing to the deceased "Can you or your men identify the dead here? I believe families should be notified and the Sherriff."

The sergeant looks around and shakes his head sadly..
"This is a bad business Sir and no mistake..thats nine families in this town will have to bury their dead. "
He looks at the man on the seat and his eyes open wide.
"Desna save us 'tis Lord Kaijutsu himself..who could have done such a thing"
At this point the Mayor and Bethana the barmaid enter together with more watchmen..again a mixture of youths and older men
"Where is she cries Bethana.."Where's my mistress"
"I Feel the loss of these poor people, I truly do." Said Jael, his voice filled with sincerity. "Though I get the feeling this goblin can tell us more. Like who we are up against. Or if there are any survivors." He said, turning his attentions back to the still alive goblin he had been speaking to.
"Ar o daach an ach o muul, o ghuul kegaan. An daagaan akec okaan o huukec magaac'd mel'daal or? Agaan daagaan akec or or dhec tech akuur?"

Bethana approaches Muchorak..."Please Sir you must find Miss Amieko..who knows what her brother might have done to her..especially if..."
She looks towards the glass encased figure of Lord Kaijutsu
"...You have to hurry..please" The Halfling woman seems close to tears
Muchorak looks to the Varisian interrogating the Goblins, "What have you learned?" He turns his attention back to the Watch Commander, "Can you secure these surviving Goblins?"
Muchorak looks to Wolf Spirit and the rest of the group, "We should press on with searching the compound."
"It sounds like Amieko's brother is directing the goblins. Can you guardsmen surround the building and raise a cry if anyone but us comes out of it?"
Once the guard takes over watch of the prisoners, Ali will begin to sniff and search out the rest of the compound for any sign of the woman or anyone else.

The guards move to secure the goblins who are wounded..they arent gentle but keep the little bastards concious at least. The mayor nods and orders that the building be surrounded.
Inakai...there is little highly flammable stuff here just molten glass if you want to use it..there might be something in another part of the building that will better suit your purpose

Muchorak will accompany Wolf Spirit in her search.
Looking to Big Bear and her packmates, Ali heads to, and through if she senses nothing, the SE doors. she is still in wolf form.

Ali's keen hearing detects nothing beyond the door and passng through it the party finds itself in what appears to be a loading room of some sort. one door leads back to the outside of the building. where the others lead is anyones guess
A wheelbarrow sits against a wall here, and shelves on the walls contain additional reagents to create different colors of glass (manganese for clear glass, cobaltfor blue, and tin for white glass; untreated glass is green,while too much of any reagent makes black glass). A safe on the floor hangs open

"Let's uncover the windows in any room we pass through. That way if anyone follows us they will be observed by the guards outside."
Wellard:
"Agreed, these creatures seem not to like the light of day." Muchorak moves to the northern door one hand on the handle, "Is everyone ready?"
Once everyone is ready he will open the door sword at the ready.
Ali growls her readiness
Nodding back to his companions Muchorak opens the door, weapon at the ready for possible assailants hidden beyond the door.
"Shall we go down?", looking down the stairs can we see any light? Basic question here, do we need to provide a light source or is there illumination from below?
Muchorak will remove a torch from his pack and light it, placing the torch in his off hand and his Longsword in his right, he will proceed down the stairs into the unknown...
"Let's find out what is down there."

Revised expanded map all other interior maps have been removed
The watch are searching the rest of the upper building...it would appear the basement is yours to explore.
Not needing much light to see by, Ali darts ahead of Big Bear in her Wolf form, her senses alert for any sign of...anything.

Alis keen ears detect no sounds from the tunnels below she moves quickly discovering a number of closed doors before returning to the party(Alis route shown in red..I think its in her character to go leaping off impulsivly without back up..so forgive me this one little bit of godmoding)
The tunnels appear to be storage spaces of some sort being stacked with crates and barrels...most of those appear to hold sand judging by the leakage from them
When Wolf Spirit returns, "Did you find anything?"
The wolf begins to shake it's head in answer to Big Bear's question then growls in frustration a bit. Instantly it's a tiny female Gnome again and she says "No No Ali no see nothing. But many doors! We go check? Yes yes!"
Ali gives them a quick run down of the layout she saw (IE Check the map ;-)
Muchorak ruffles some of the hair on Wolf Spirits head, then kneels down to her height, "Choose a door Wolf Spirit, we shall follow." With that Muchorak stands weapon at the ready, torch in his off hand and follows Wolf Spirit to whichever door she chooses to open first.
"I'm ready"
Wellard:
Inikai will activate his fire aura (damage 1d6)if anything attacks him with natural weapons or tries to grapple him. Also, the aura gives off light equal to a torch and does not burn inanimate objects unless Inikai will it to.
