Zeldana saw the goblins turn tail and run, she swiftly ran after them only to stop and draw a card from her deck. The Demon's Lantern was the card now in her hands. The blue, green, and red lights upon the card began to dance before the lept off card and began to dance above the heads of the goblins.
Directing Wolfie onward with a few quiet words, Ruaidhrigh calls fire from the air as the wolf dashes forward toward the retreating goblins, then unleashes the pent-up fire at the nearest wretched creature.

Dakash trips a goblin trying to scamper past, Alek, in his rage swipes and misses.
Alas, Cale cannot charge, as Alek moves up, blocking his path. He moves to position himself for an attack next round
Ruaidhrigh cast flame, but misses the fleeing goblins. Their panic grows.
If you use this spell in combat, each target gains a +2 bonus on its saving throw. If the spell affects only a single creature not in combat at the time, the saving throw has a penalty of -2.
While the subject is fascinated by this spell, it reacts as though it were two steps more friendly in attitude. This allows you to make a single request of the affected creature (provided you can communicate with it). The request must be brief and reasonable. Even after the spell ends, the creature retains its new attitude toward you, but only with respect to that particular request.
A creature that fails its saving throw does not remember that you enspelled it.
Anjelica to act
Anjelica moves so she's got an almost clear shot...
"Surrender" Zeldana requested, her voice echoed with magic and carried through the room.
Two of the goblins stop in their mad rout, looking puzzled and staring blankly as zeldana enacts her spell. one keeps running. That one runs to the end of the room, and flings open the door.

Two goblins are flatfooted and not moving.
Actions?
Anji fires off a pair of shots at the goblin who ran to and opened the door. If the first shot drops him, she'll change targets to the remaining goblin.
Cale continues after the one at the door, trusting his allies to take care of the defenseless fighters and runs after the one that still runs away and moves to try to stab it in the back
Directing his wolf forward at the nearest goblin, the flame-haired gnome gathers flame to him, pulling it from the active furnaces nearby. As his furry friend snaps at the goblin, he releases the pent-up flame.
Wolfie:
Crit?
Ruaidhrigh:
Touch Attack

Aleks moves to the second fascinated goblin, leaving the first to the gnome and swipes at it.
Both goblins are slain before they decide to surrender or not. The goblins at the door is wounded, but still active. Zeldana and dakash to act to act
Edit Anjelica slew the goblin at the door.
The last goblin slumps to the ground with a gurgle, weakly clutching at the arrows in his chest, before stopping forever. The battle is over.
Alek stumbles a second as a wave of fatigue washes over him. The rest of you stop, the violence of the situation fading.
Around you is the debris of battle, dead goblins, and dead workers. One has been spitted and is roasting in one of the forges, and future meal for the vile humanoids.
Pride of place is the corpse of your favourite bartender's father. From the burns and gritted teeth, he was killed by the pouring of molten glass over him. A hard way to go.
Actions?
"Well, I guess we can't question any of them as to what's going on here... but we need to search this place thoroughly... "
"If someone could restrain one and heal it slightly, maybe we could question one of them..."
"I did prepare a casting of infernal healing today, anybody got any rope or manacles?""
Dakash's lip curls back in a sneer of disgust. "These creatures were evil. To do this to Lonjiku..."
He trails off, eyes wandering over the bloody echoes of cruelty, and picks his quarterstaff up off of the ground, leaning on it in the corner of the room, his face returning to its neutral, stony impassivity.
Anjie pulls out her rope and ties up one of the living goblins so it can be questioned...
Cale seems almost reluctant to heal the monster but he does indeed pull put a small vile with a few drops of unholy water and says a few arcane words before shoving the now glowing fluid down his throat
With a sour look on his face, the flame-haired gnome pulls a long rope from Wolfie’s saddle bags and hands it to Cale. ”Hurry, we still need to look for Ameiko, remember?”
Zeldana turned her back to Lonjiku's dead body. "Just looking at it makes me... nauseous." She told them as she made her ways closer to goblin that Cale was healing so that possibly they could get something out of them. "Yes, and I hope she hasn't suffered the same fate as his father."
Alek looks at Ruaidhrigh. "Ruaidhrigh could you get Wolfie to find Ameiko by smell?"
Ruaidhrigh thinks for a minute. "Let me check." What follows is a series of yips, growls, and barks unintelligible to anyone who doesn't speak canine. After a short back-and forth, the flame-haired gnome looks back up, shaking his head. "She's got a good smeller, but she says she'd need more practice to find anyone specific. We'd probably need something of Ameiko's too, so she'd know the right smell to follow."
Anjelica tries to question the now-healed, tied-up goblin... hoping he speaks common or some pidgin form of it at least.
"WHere is the human woman?" she starts with, tho she does have other questions... Gotta remember they have limited focus, probably can't handle multiple questions at once. take it one at a time.
The goblin wakes and wriggles, testing his bonds. He focuses on angelica, and the others.
hee, hee, hee. Grelk is caught.
He grins insolently at the party
she is with the boss. Make her squeal, I reckon.
His eyes narrow, and his squeaky voice grows cunning
let me go, an I could help you find her before...
He smiles as only a goblin can
he cuts to the bone
"Who is your boss and where does he hold the woman?"
let me go, me take you
"I don't think we can trust you not to give a warning when we get close... You tell us where she is, and we'll consider not dispatching you slowly and painfully."
"maybe we can bind his arms and mouth but leave his feet free"
"Even then are we sure that he'll lead us right?" Zeldana asked. "He is a goblin after all."
hee, hee, hee. Grelk lead you nowhere unless hands and feets are free. Think fast, your friend will suffer if you wait. Matters little. Brood queen gets a new slave soon, hmm. Kill me and she gets a servant. Win, win. Hee, hee, hee.
"I do believe the little rotter is quite mad."
"hands and feet, yes. Fine, but not your mouth and if you try to run Alek and I will be right behind you and we will cut you down as soon as you try
Ruaidhrigh directs his wolf closer, teeth still dripping goblin blood.
Dakash follows after Cale, Alek, Anjelica, and the goblin. His grip on his quarterstaff tightens, fingers turning white as he squeezes the walking stick, avoiding eye contact with the goblin at all costs.
"Do not mock the pain of others. It is an evil thing."
Alek pulls himself back up, groaning the whole time. Clicking his neck back into place he glares at the defiant goblin.
"They are all bloody crazy. We need to start moving, we can quickly search the rest of this place, then if we don't find anything half a dozen goblins shouldn't be that hard to track."
"I agree, but where to next?" Zeldana asked before she looked at the goblin. "I honestly don't trust him. I'd rather we do this on our own if time is of the essence as we believe it is. He could lead us into a trap or waist out time." She reminded them.
[b]huh! humans are rude. Grelk has not betrayed you![b]
Dakash cannot bear the jeering and jibes from the goblin in his comrades' custody. "Quickly, end this and let us search for Ameiko. She should not be far. This Glassworks is a small place, and goblins are not clever."
"Rudy , does your dog smell anything?
The gnome scratches his head, glances down at her, and shrugs. "The goblin blood all over her face, probably. I haven't trained her to track by scent though."
"Much as I'd rather see him dead like his fellows... we can have him lead us... though I suspect he'd be quite willing to lead us right into a trap too." Anjelica turns to the goblin and says... "If we do this, know that there will be an arrow, and likely several blades, trained on your back.... if you betray us in any way, you'll end up dead, are we understood?"
Dakash steps behind the captive goblin, brandishing his quarterstaff above his head. "Please. Let us kill this beast and be done with his poison words. We have to find Ameiko now."
Zeldana stepped foreword, placing a hand upon the goblins head. "Don't fight me and it'll be easier for you. Where would you lead us?" She told him before her eyes flashed a light blue.
me? he grins in what he thinks is a winning manner
most trustworthy.
Zeldana stepped away, a light sheen of sweat was upon her forehead and she seemed like her knees might give out. "He lies. He would lead us to more danger and I doubt he truly knows where she is. But one thing is sire, he is trying to deceive us."
