Here is how I'll do this, a surprise round for everyone who wishes and since you didn't alert them with your stealth checks... essentially two standard actions. Once the arrows start to fly, then it will be regular initiative time.

As the party gathers in the hallway, Zondras whispers some arcane words and a hazy outline appears around himself. Jezebel, Telurion, and Eekie make their way into the room and then erupt with a series of gunshots, javelin's, and alchemist fire!

Eekie's Attack: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 4 - 2 = 19 for damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2
In instant, the room explodes with violence and explosions. The goblin marked as the leader is bludgeoned into a bloody, fiery mess. But he somehow manages to stay on his feet.

Initiative: Telurion, Yoren, Mifune, Zondras, Goblins, Nius, Yarak
Conditions: Yarak (gobo leader) Fire, full round action AND Dc15 Reflex save or take 1d6 damage

MAP

Those ledges look tough for a fighter in armor to surmount so Yoren decides to give his bow another try. He fires at the goblin next to the leader, hoping the flames will put an end to the leader soon.

shortbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Blast, will I never get the hang of these things?

But he misses in the wort way possible!

Mifune warily made his way into the gateway of the room, smirking as the party was shown up by Eekie's initiative with the matter at hand. Standing his ground in the doorway, he waited for the greenskins to act.

[OOC]Assuming we're still starting from the spot that Telurion was on...

Move Action (5 feet forward)
Standard Action - Total Defense (+4 AC)

I am not on the initiative list :)

My bad... you were on the roll, just left off the list! Between the Goblins and Yarak along with Nius.

Telurion cannot simply climb up that ledge fast enough - "If I try to climb this, I am a sitting duck guys - I'll do my best from down here!"

Javelin Throw to 'boss': 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Damage if it hits: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Telurion's javelin finds the goblin alchemist and strikes him right in the belly. The wounded goblin just doesn't have anything left in him and sinks to his feet. Moments later the flames consume him and dies.
The remaining goblins drop their working tools and start to scramble- one jumps from the ledge and tries to run out of the room the other two start to lower a climbing rope and hastily try to run from the room as well.

The goblins are fleeing! You may act as you wish getting AoO on them or what ever you like to try to subdue them. We are out of initiative.

Laughing, Telurion aims the flat of his blade at a goblin running by - "Seems you are not so brave when you are being bullied instead of bullying heh? Lets try to get at least one alive!"

Flat blade side AoO: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 5 - 4 = 8
Damage if it Hits: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

"Damned slippery critters!" - he roars.

In a booming voice Zondras yells at the fleeing goblins, "STOP WHERE YOU ARE IF YOU WANT TO LIVE!! FLEE AND WE WILL RUN YOU DOWN AND KILL YOU!!!"
Intimidate: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Jezebel yells after the goblins, attempting to Aid Other Zondras' intimidate, "[b]I think he is serious, I would stop...[/OOC]" Intimidate: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Helpful Trait = +4 if success

"Aye little ones, you've got one chance to live! Stop now!"
Yoren also backs up Zondras' attempt to cow the goblins into submission.

Aid Other(intimidate: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

But in the excitement his voice cracks like a teenager and the goblins pay him little mind.

The goblins stop in their tracks as Zonras and Jezebel yell at them. Seeing no other way out, they surrender en mass. Please, we never wants to be here. They are evil I say, very mean to us. I am glad you never were burned from the evil Yarak and his mad makings! Please don't kill us! Please you longshanks!

Jezebel politely asks Eakie to translate what the goblins say in to better common, then addresses Zondras, "All yours boss, if you want help, just ask."

"I know, I know, you wouldn't have dreamed of doing terrible things by yourselves. Who are these folks that made you do this? We're looking for a chap named Versevosh, and the boss he answers to. Tell us all you know about them and you might just make it out of here alive."

Mifune stood guard using his sheathed blade as a cane. However, the glint of steel that he occasionally flashed at the goblins showed just how seriously they ought to take his companions and their questions.

Turning his head so the goblins can't see his face Zondras' eyes go wide as he points to himself. Looking at Jezebel he mouths, Me, a boss?. With a smile he shakes his head and turns back to face the goblins.

Hearing no response to Yoren's question he quickly barks, "Answer the man before you loose your tongues to our knives!!"

One of the goblins looks around and softly answers Yoren. He is the big boss. We don't see him often. We have been working for this lad making bombs. But now, I just want to leave and return to the woods..... please....
The other goblin captives nod in agreement, particularly when he gets to the leaving part.

"We would need some proof of your remorse and vow to leave and never return. What can you provide by way of a token of your solemn vow?"

"And where can we find this Big Boss of yours, wretches?" - Telurion adds as he herds the remaining goblins into a compact group, searching them for any valuables and/or weapons.

The goblins all start stumbling over themselves to make oaths, pledges, even grant you lands they might one day inherit if you promise not to kill them.
One of the goblins points to the east when Telurion asks him any questions. [b]We don't see the big boss much. But I think he lives that way.[b]

Sorry for my absence, but we are back in business now!

I LOL'ed HARD at the "even grant you lands they might one day inherit if you promise not to kill them"

"Ok then guys, you need any more information from these? If its up to me we tie them up and head back that way they pointed"

Pondering for a few moments, Telurion turns to the goblins and adds - "And what about TRAPS?! Cand I expect many more pits, fires, arrows, poisons, or WHATEVER it is you wretches enjoy so much if I go down that way?"

You are able to tie up the goblins without any issue, the seem to be happy that you spared them their lives. We know nothing about other traps Longshanks. The way is pretty clear

Anything else before you leave the room? Healing, etch?

Guess not... Everyone is pretty quiet...

Comfortable that the goblins are not going anywhere, the party continues to move through the tunnels. The tunnel moves south before turning to the east for a few feet. A room emerges to the north. There is light and noises coming from the room. There appear to be several goblins working in this room.

Stealth check if you want to explore more without being seen.

Oh, hi! Welcome back.

Once again, Yoren knows better than to attempt stealth himself.

"I'll hold here if someone wants to try and have a quiet peak at what these fellows up ahead are doing. Or I can just rush in and set off the first trap."

"A good plan, stealth is not my fortitude either. Perhaps you can sneak ahead see what we are up against Jezebel?"

Stealth Check: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

Wordlessly, Mifune stepped forward, his lack of presence and graceful step moving him into the room with the goblins. All the while, he remained vigilant, examining every nook and cranny to find any detail that might offer them the upper hand.

Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Jezebel offers the uses on her wand to those in need, and follows Mifune.

Sorry, just got picked up by a new bankruptcy firm. The person I am replacing has been gone 50+ days, so my files are waaaaay behind. I hope to be more stable by mid-week. Also relocating since my new office is 145 miles south east of my old office.

No worries Jez, that is the nature of PbP games. Good luck with your new job venture!

Mifune and Jezebel are able to peak around the corner and into a most strange room. You see a dank chamber with a channel that bisects the room. There is a stone walkway that leads across the channel. The room is dank and musty, the sounds of dripping water echo throughout the room. You also see a bizarrely dressed goblin that is give orders (or is it a lecture) to two other younger goblins.

Knowledge: 1d20 ⇒ 3

Completely baffled, Jezebel takes note of what she sees in the hopes that it will make sense to someone else once she has the chance to relate her findings to another. Once Jezebel returns to the group at large, she will relate what is seen and heard, including costume just in case.

"Hmm, a walkway over the channel, seems like a place a goblin might set a trap in case of charging warriors. Are we going to try and capture this fellow? Taking the leader out with a burst of ranged fire worked pretty well last time."

Mifune remained behind a little longer in an attempt to listen in on the conversation, to whatever end that may be.

"Let us wait on Mifune's return then, so we have additional information?"

Zondras nods in agreement.

Mifune doesn't hear much but the mutterings of goblins. Something about getting supplies ready by the big goblin, and the constant berating of the little goblins.
The 'big' goblin is quite a sight, he is dressing motley, small bells hang from his head which make him easy to spot and hear. His manners are highly animated but he does command the respect of his servant goblins.

I'll rule that one or two of you can get a long ranged shot off, before I roll initiative. If you want to cast spells in the hall before entering the room, that is allowed as well.

"Well, that settles it then" - Terion starts moving, javelin in hand - "I will throw one of these and then close in as fast as possible"

Jezebel nods at Telurion, and quietly mouths "One . . . Two . . . Three!"
To Hit the fat one in a fancy hat: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15 v. Touch AC.
Damage, if Hit: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 . . . 2/4 Grit Used

As the bullet streaks towards the room, Jezebel does her best to reload as fast as possible. Alchemical paper cartridge, misfire on a 1 or 2

is my shield still in effect?

Telurion, go ahead and roll your attack.
Zondras... how long does it last. It has been at lest ten minutes since you entered the previous room.

As Telurion moves, he lets fly a javelin at the bizarrely dressed goblin, before wading in.

Javelin ranged attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

It's over then. Only 1 min./lvl

Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Jezebel's gunshot ends the quite of the sewers. While the shot was loud, it didn't make contact with the scrambling posh goblin. Telurion's attack was on the mark however, the tip of the javelin taking a slice of his thigh off.

Yoren, Goblins, Telurion, Mifune, Zondras, Jezebel, Jester, Nius

If you move closer, you will notice that the bridge is covered with caltrops.

MAP

Shouldn't Jezebel go before me?

Sorry, GM shorthand. Tel, Mif, Zon, and Jez will all go "at the same time". Your actual initiative numbers are sorta irrelevant, since you all can delay back and forth without affecting the NPC's in any way.

Yoren draws his sword and moves forward towards the bridge and the goblins. He will move as far as he can while still avoiding the caltrops.

The goblins on the other side of the bridge stay put, but they each draw long curved blades. These are called horsechoppers, for a very good reason. These massive blades look like they could strike down a beast from a distance. They move to stand directly in front of Yoren from the other side of the bridge.

Initiative: Yoren, Goblins, Telurion, Mifune, Zondras, Jezebel, Jester, Nius

Telurion moves closer to the edge of the bridge without entering the area with caltrops, while he roars at the goblins - "Are you boys sure you want to play it like that?" - and he throws another javelin.

Javelin attack at the funky clothed: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

The goblin simply stares at Telurion, not understanding common. The bats away the Javelin harmlessly.

Initiative: Yoren, Goblins, Telurion, Mifune, Zondras, Jezebel, Jester, Nius

"He doesn't seem scared Telurion!"

Zondras moves into the room an fires an arrow from his bow at the crowned goblin.
Longbow (hit/dmg): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 101d8 ⇒ 5
