Nobody else is in position to receive an AoO. But more importantly, in case you missed Ro's question in Discussion: Was Drasven ever advanced to Level 2? The extra HP may come in handy soon
@Drasven: At least one of them must have been placed in error, unless he walks through walls. With a simple withdraw action, you could at most provoke from 2 of them...which seems better than total defense for slightly higher AC, but provoking from 5...your call, of course.
They are all placed so that we can see Drasven, no wall walking just a map not perfectly to scale...
"No, not yet! Rojava cries as she plants her feet. She takes hold of Lia's arm and pulls hard back, trying to free her from Ameiko's grasp. Hopefully this will look like an accident of my stopping and not a trick!
"You mean your brother Ameiko? Is he the one who's responsible? We can't go yet! We can't leave everyone else with so many goblins right on top of them!
Although it is not your action you can certainly try to hamper their movement down the stairs, this was an unsuccessful attempt at doing so.
The goblins with the exception of one turn towards the hall babbling in their language about "who let the dogs in?" "who let the dogs in?". One goes as far as to race up the hall to meet the charging dogs...
Drasven easily evades the swing from the Goblin who keeps his attention on his foes.

Well, you ARE a musician ;) The first time I tried that on the square, I think not a single goblin turned his head. Then again, with Lia, it may be the sound was actually meowing rather than barking -_-
Xarmas runs outside, expecting to meet resistance as the group escorts Ameiko outside. Finding none, she shouts back inside, "Hurry and bring her out! The way is clear if you run!" She glances around, and drops into a defensive stance, eyes scanning for more goblins.
Xarmas runs outside, and stops about ten feet outside the door. She goes full defensive and is on the lookout for more enemies.

Are there any goblins left from Group 1? I can't tell.
Xarmas runs outside, and stops about ten feet outside the door. She goes full defensive and is on the lookout for more enemies.
To get outside you would need to run past the Goblins though they seem more intent on the dogs at the moment, no other doors are near you presently, unless you want to open a window and jump out! I will wait for you to respond before the last Goblin in Group I takes his actions.
And didn't Lia pull Ameiko further down the stairs? Not sure if Xarmas is straight on what's happening ... ? Though I suppose she could run through the glassworks and out the back door.
Oh, my fault. I must have misread the map. I had seen shouting to get Ameiko out, so I was trying to assist with that. And sure enough, on looking at the map again, I thought I could go straight out that door to the south. I must have imagined another door in that first room. Instead, I'll just have her smash a couple more goblins:
Xarmas runs forward, schreeching a battle cry, and swings her quarterstaff at the first goblin.
Very animalistic. ^_^ Well, if you insist on moving into the chokepoint again and make yourself the sole target of all goblins, rather than hold the line with Karmid and Drasven together ... (just pointing that out since Drasven and Gwyd moved back into the current main room to force the goblins to come through the choke, one by one. But then, your AC is more decent, so-)
Flutter sits down on Ameiko:"We know things are hectic. But you'd best give us some details on what's happening here..."

Moving up behind her in the short hall, Karmid sees no direct way to help Xarmas quickly, but he soon realizes he can still help in other ways!
Touching his tattoo, Karmid whispers for Gozreh's blessing on Xarmas!
Enlarge Person SLA; 2 min duration, +2 size bonus to Strength, a -2 size penalty to Dexterity (to a minimum of 1), and a -1 penalty on attack rolls and AC due to its increased size. A humanoid creature whose size increases to Large has a space of 10 feet and a natural reach of 10 feet. This spell does not change the target's speed.
All equipment worn or carried by a creature is similarly enlarged by the spell. Melee weapons affected by this spell deal more damage (see Table: Medium/Large Weapon Damage).
Karmid will snap his fingers loudly at the end of his spell prayer to active the effect on Xarmas. With a smile and a chuckle as he realizes his new relative position now to hers, he can't help himself but comment.
"Got your back Xarmas...and boy-howdy...what a backside it is now!"
I took the liberty to adjust everybody's size relative to Xarmas' temporary new one on the map.
When Rojava digs in and pulls back against Lia, things don't go at all how she hoped. She loses her grip on Lia, leaving her at the top of the stairs while they continue on down.
"Godsdammit! Windsight, stay on them! I'll be right behind you!"
She turns and runs back into the room at grab her bow. As she picks it up she tells Gwydd "Windsight and I are going after Ameiko. I'm trying to keep anyone from getting hurt, but she's grabbed Lia and won't listen to anything. As soon as you can get everyone else and come after us. Sorry."
Ro pronounces a pair of eldritch words and touches Gwydd's arm. "So we can keep in touch." She then turns to run back down the stairs.
"On it!!" With an arrow nocked and half-drawn, the Shoanti archer follows immediately upon the heels of Lia and Ameiko, aggressively alert for danger - especially to Lia.
Hearing Them?:
I posed following hard on after them before - will I be close enough to them to hear what Ameiko says? If needed:
Perception:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
"I hope you succeed in showing him the error of his ways. If you don't, he will die.", Lia states, maintaining her leisurely pace, asking innocently: "Do you know where your father is?" Single move action, where Ameiko leads, resisting faster movement.
Flutter follows along, moving back towards the stairs after a few seconds, intending to act as a guide of sorts for any who come down, giving them direction.
Gwydd nods slightly as he feels Ro's magic wash through him. Stepping back through the door, behind Karmid, Gwydd says loudly to the big man, Quickly! Ameiko has taken Lia and they are headed downstairs! Windsight and Ro are headed after her to do what they can. We need to wrap this up and follow with haste.
Looking through the throng of combat, he spots a few more of the goblins dancing around the now enlarged Xarmas. Smiling, he emphatically spits a few words and a blinding flash of light explodes in front of one of the goblins! Satisfied with his work, he continues his song in a whistle.
Casting flare near to the gray goblin. DC 13 fortitude to negate. 4/9 BP remaining, IC active. 2/4 Touch of Luck remaining. 2/3 1st level spells remaining.
Ameiko pulls you farther down the hall, just out of the sight of Flutter.
Ameiko's appearance shifts to match that of your own.
"Someone will be dead my dear the who is what you have got all wrong..."
Lia make a Will save DC 13.
I will get a map up for this by Wednesday!
the Basement - Lia's and Windsight:
As Windsight charges down the stairs into the hall following Flutters directions after the ladies, he rounds the corner to get a better view of Lia, he get an eyeful to be sure as there are two Lia's!
The words echo off of the wall at you, "Someone will be dead my dear the who is what you have got all wrong..."
The arrow gets pulled to full draw, but Windsight hesitates - then mutters to the Flutter-by, "Get your mistress to drop to her knees." He will be paying very close attention to which one drops first - or any details of movement that just don't match his 'little sister'.
Keep It Quiet:
Trying to make that sotto voce/under my breath, so neither of them will hear it. Bluff, maybe?
Bluff:1d20 + 0 ⇒ (10) + 0 = 10
And trying to spot differences between the two - I doubt it's going to be in appearance, so movement or actions:
Will:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18Well, to be honest, I kind of expected that(ignored my question, reacted wrong, and acted suspicious) ;) - I may not be the best target, though...since I expect a Familiar with an Empathic Link can identify me. Especially a Figment one...just validating that before I come up again...
Xarmas swings her newly enlarged quarterstaff in a sweeping motion, arcing across the heads of the goblins in front of her. She roars, and her newly enlarged form, still only barely ten feet tall, quivers with her fury.
"Come, Brother Karmid, and let us fell our foes, and see them crushed beneath us!"
'I could really get used to being big, for once in my life...' She ponders inwardly.
Technically she is aiming at the red goblin; the arcing attack is just for flavor.

Not rolling great for damage, but at least I'm hitting!
Don't forget your doing d8s with a quarterstaff now! =)
Freshly painted in his companions blood, the flanking Goblin presses his attack against Xarmas and striking with a deep cut in her left thigh. Take 3 damage Xarmas.
The final two little creatures see the growth of Xarmas along with the falling of their companions as the turning point and break off their attack fleeing away from the now Large and in Charge Xarmas!
Talene looks around, "Is anyone hurt and in need of assistance?"

Squeezing past Xarmas's new bulk, Karmid quickly follows the goblin that ran in a nearby doorway. He swings his hammer hastily for a quick kill!
Essentially the same fight/sequence, so I prefer keeping in order - but the statements/conversation (both IC and OOC) from Lia and the GM suggested that she might be trying in some manner to follow Windsight's directions or what-have-you. Soo ...
Windsight will be delaying his action until after one or the other down-range make a move.
We are, technically, on top of initiative order. I'm still waiting until we are called out. There may be a reason that Bottom Group(Karmid, Ro, Talene) and Top Group(Lia, Windsight, Gwyd) have not been combined into one group between Goblins 1 and Goblins 2. One such reason, possibly, being that someone else who has not joined combat yet is in-between the two in terms of initiative. *wink*
