Byron steps-up to the retreating Goblin.
"You shot me!"
Channeling his fury into a powerful blow, he swings at the Goblin...

Roman cries out, "Aagh! Can anyone get these things off me?"
Strength damage
Retching, Roman looks for an escape from the swarm and retreats up the hall. The goblins take stabs at him as he retreats.
Fortunately, one glances off his armor while the other misses completely as Roman moves away.
Byron's blow sweeps into the goblin, connecting with a vicious slash that leaves the goblin bleeding from a ragged wound across its shoulder and upper arm.
I try to attack the Goblin now I am standing beside him.
Battle-Axe Attack : 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Battle-Axce Damage : 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Well that was a complete waste of a spell.
HP 22/24
Jo rears back and brings Rosebud down on the head of shaking goblin in front of him.

*CRUNCH*
"Whitechin, where are you? Come on out!" Jo yells.
Jo stays put where he is and preps for another attack on the Goblin in front of him.

Jo's crushing blow makes a ruined pile of the goblin standing in front of him. Xianae steps up and slices her battle axe across the goblin's chest. He hisses in pain, but refuses to go down. Moondark fires a bolt at one of the goblins left after Roman's hasty retreat, but the little buggers are quick on their feet and dance out of the way.
Emmett smiles as the boss goblin finally gets out in the open thanks to his friends. He extends his thumb and index, seemingly catching the goblin's head between them:
"By the tip of my fingers snappin'
The head of the head-goblin,
His name perhaps Whitechin,
Will get a-rollin'!"
Coran reloads crossbow and was hoping to have a clear shot at the goblin now that Roman's privates were out of the way but the swarm took his place. He looks at his companions and sees Whitechin and decides help.
He casts Burning Disarm (DC 14) on the weapon Whitechin is carrying.
Damage if he decides to hold it
School transmutation (fire); Level cleric 1, druid 1, sorcerer/wizard 1
Casti ng
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S
Effect
Range Short (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target Held metal item of one creature or 15 lbs. of unattended metal
Duration Instantaneous
Saving Throw Reflex negates (object, see text); Spell Resistance
Yes (object)
Description
This spell causes a metal object to instantly become red hot.
A creature holding the item may attempt a Reflex save to drop
it and take no damage (even if it is not their turn), otherwise
the hot metal deals 1d4 points of fire damage per caster level
(maximum 5d4). Circumstances that prevent the creature from
dropping the item (such as a locked gauntlet) mean the creature
gets no saving throw. The heat does not harm the item, and it
does not get hot enough or last long enough to ignite flammable
objects. The item cools to its previous temperature almost
instantly. If cast underwater, burning disarm deals half damage
and boils the surrounding water.
Coran breaks out his day dream of casting spells. He Draws his crossbow and shots at the Goblin in front of Jo.

Crossbow, Light Damage

The tumult of combat in front of Coran continues to rage and make shots difficult. Attempting to avoid striking any of his allies, Coran shoots a barely exposed sliver of one of the goblins, but his shot goes wide.
The mass of skittering spiders roils back toward Coran and sweeps over him. While some just run around on the floor, tens and perhaps even hundreds of spiders crawl up his legs biting and raising painful welts as they go.
One of the goblins facing Jo steps through the door into the area the swarm left while the second one moves right in front of the barbarian. Still nervous, they both swing their little swords at the giant foe, but all of their desperate attempts miss their fearsome foe.
The archer takes a look behind himself, seemingly running out of room, but takes a step away from Byron and Xianae and fires another arrow at Byron again finding flesh through the rogue's defenses.
"You'll pay for that..."
Grunting in pain, Byron steps-up, and delivers an overhand chop to the very annoying goblin...
|

Byron's slash seems to catch for a moment on the goblin's collarbone, but then continues its deadly path leaving a horrible gaping wound. The goblin drops to the ground dying.
Roman charges the goblin that has stepped out of the room to attack Jo. For a moment, it looks like the little devil is going to skip away from him, but the speed of Roman's charge is too much and his morningstar slams into the bulbous head, cracking it and spraying bits of skull and brain all over the hallway. The lifeless body drops to the floor.
Emmett steps back to stay clear of the spiders, while looking through his bag to get a torch and something to light it.
After watching Roman, make a gory mess of the Goblin archer I move towards the flood of small spiders, where I attempt to slash at them.
Emmett produces the torch and lights it: "That's for the spiders, though I would prefer someone more keen or dextrous to do the honors."
"Time to die little booger!!
Jo wheels Rosebud around to catch the goblin in the side.
Earthbreaker Attack:
Earthbreaker Damage:
Jo then takes a 5-foot step into the room and looks around for more enemies.
Perception:

Jo crushes the final goblin into a bloody pulp and steps into the room. The room looks like it may have once been a dining room, but there is no sign of table or chairs. Windows that mirror those you found in the library on the other side of the house look out the front of the manor.
There is no sign of any enemies, but there is an open door to the back of the house that looks like it goes to a kitchen and muddy footprints suggest this may be the path the goblins took.
Xianae steps up to try her axe against the spiders swarming all over Coran, but finds they are too small and numerous for the axe to be effective.
Meanwhile, Moondark considers something flammable and while curtains seem to have been removed from the manor, the tattered and filthy rug might offer an option.
Seeing what everyone else is doing, Byron 5' steps away from the swarm, and uses his blade to carve-up another section of carpet, wincing from his numerous arrow wounds as he does so.
It would be an ignominious end, if we were to be killed by a bunch of spiders, after defeating Whitechin...
Jo takes another five foot tactical to the kitchen door and peers in Rosebud at the ready to smash more heads.

Jo looks into the former kitchen. Here as in other parts of the manor, most of the movable items have already been removed. But, there are fixed wooden cabinets to both the left and right with a wooden island in the center. Once fine woodworking, they show evidence of having been banged and smashed and illegible graffiti covers the surfaces. The kitchen itself is shallower than the room you found on the other side, only 20 feet deep. The kitchen floor is covered in muddy footprints, but the greatest amount of traffic leads to a door at the back of the kitchen which hangs open. It appears to lead to a large pantry or storeroom. Everything is quiet. Well, everything except any screaming about the spiders back in the hallway.
Emmett put distance between him and the spiders, then looks in his bag for another torch.
I will step back, obviously annoyed that my recent attack had no effect on the small spiders. Once back I offer any help that I can give.
Emmett waits to light the rug.

"Fwooosh!" Coran steps out of the way and Emmett and Moondark coordinate to drop a flaming carpet onto the swarm before it can reform to chase after a new victim.
Unfortunately, enough spiders escape the fiery inferno to reform and they really seem to like the taste of Coran. A smaller remainder swarm back over the halfling yet again.
Fort save 1
Fort save 2
Byron pulls out his flint-and-steel, and lights the carpet, ready to throw it.
Jo will move into the kitchen with the goal of reaching the pantry entrance. He will be wary of the island in the middle of the kitchen. He does not want to be caught unaware of a hiding goblin taking a swipe at his legs as he passes.
Perception:
Once at the pantry he will ready an action to squash anything within range.
I shall prepare to attack anything threatening that may come into the corridor.
