Izgarp goes limp as she sort of floats in he water when suddenly the goblin dog splashes about and finds good footing as it leaves the water only to be struck by Zeldana's bolt. the nearly hairless goblin dog yelps in pain as it leaps at the Midnight Daemon.
The dog leaps at Midnight Daemon's neck and thick dander fill the air around the vigilante's face.

And here we go!
Sirrah sprints right past the goblin dog, timing it to try to use his rapier to avoid the hound's bite, and punish it for it's efforts.
I moved through 2 of it's threaten squares.
If the dog takes an AOO, I'll parry and riposte
Arriving on the river bank across from Midnight Daemon, Sirrah tries to make his attack count.
And right in the ribs!

As Sirrah circles about the goblin dog snaps at him. The dog snags ahold of the swashbucklers arm and yanks it back and forth.
Sirrah returns the favor with the sharp end of his rapier. Chankotu drops his crossbow and nearly slides down the small hill as he finds a loose spot of dirt.
The Midnight Daemon fends off the rash but the dog is able to duck underneath his scythe blade. Levin is a tad bit luckier as he is able to nick the goblin dog's back while Zeldana reloads her crossbow.
Selkin moves in with his wand and mends the Midnight daemon's wound.
Meanwhile the goblin dog continues to leap at the Midnight Daemon.
The dog snags ahold of the vigilante once again and reopens his wound.
Izgarp finally learns how to swim as she makes it out of the almost still water.
As she exits, the water she draws her horsechopper and let's out a shrill scream in frustration as she heaves the jagged blade at Chankotu.
The little raging goblin slams her horsechopper into Chankotu's back. "Stoopid! You ruin everything!"

Sirrah's sneezing isn't enough to throw off his practice with his rapier. his muscle memory kicks in as he thrusts the blade into the dogs ribs, piercing something vital as the dog falls over.
The Midnight Daemon and Levin both turn their attention to Izgarp, though only Levin is able to muster enough strength to make it through the little raging goblins armor.
Zeldana grows tire of the de facto goblin patrol leaders antics and sends a fracture rippling through her mind, nearly causing the goblins brain to burst. Izgarp's neck jerks as she topples to the ground, dead.
The immediate threat of the goblins to this particular area
has passed, leaving the group plenty of time to heal and recover any items of value from the dead goblins. However several minutes later you hear screams and goblin-song coming from the direction of the Escoro homestead where the young shepherd recently retreated back to.

******************************************************************
The Escoro homestead is a small, one-story wooden house located in the southwest corner of a large fencedin pasture. Thirty feet south of the house, separated by a wooden fence, is a large wooden barn. The barn’s door faces east and is shut and barred.
A single goblin rider and its mount pursued the fleeing shepherd to his home, and they are now circling the house looking either for a way in or to goad the occupants into coming out. The Escoro family’s
horse, Burnella, is currently in the barn, and is audibly agitated by the presence of the creatures nearby.

The Midnight Daemon and Levin are both aware that goblins are deathly afraid of dogs and horses.
The goblin and its undersized dog continue to circle the house, yupping and growling. The group decides to face the goblin head on rather than chasing it off as Selkin and Zeldana draws its attention.

Sirrah squeezes through the gate and jabs hisrapir into the goblins rear end causing it to leap and yelp atop the poor undersized dog.
With the goblin distracted Levin attempts to daze the creature.
the goblin calms down as his eyes glaze over and he seems to be looking into space.
From above, on the roof, leap a pair of goblins to the ground below in front of Chankotu.
While the gree goblin lands semi-gracefully the purple goblin doesn't even come close as his legs cave from underneath him and he smashes his face into the ground, breaking several teeth loose. The missing teeth cause the goblin to whistle as he snickers at Chankotu.
The goblin dog leaps at Sirrah.
Sirrah easily steps out of the way as the dazed goblin weighs down the smaller goblin dog.

Zeldana leaps back and scans the roof for any more suicidal goblins and finds no more are on the roof.
Chankotu is able to sink his blade into the green goblin nd notices that all three of them seem to be covered in the same greasy purplish goo.
The Midnight daemon raises his scythe and plants it firmly in the back of the purple goblin's spine, severing it.
Selkin continues to bless the group as Sirrah attempts another jab at the goblin dog but finds that it is a bit more agile than it was moments ago.

Deciding that more of his allies are outside than in, Levin helps dispatch the mounted goblin.

levin tumbles to the slices into the goblin's thigh which seems to bring the goblin back to reality. Turning his attention to Levin the goblin rider swats at the halfling with his heavy mace as the dog spins around and nips at Levin's legs.
+ Allergic Reaction
The goblin dog nearly tears Levin to the ground as the green goblin catches Chankotu off guard and piercces his armor.

Zeldana's crossbow let's loose and her bolt finds a new home in the green goblin's chest, dropping it to the ground. Seeing the green goblin menace down Chankotu moves through the gate and sticks his rapier behind the goblin dog's ear and through it's face.
The small little goblin rider doesn't stand a chance as it falls and the rest of the group descends on it.
Garreni Escoro, Carlo’s father, opens the door and falls to his knees weeping tears of joy."Thank you, Thanks you, Thank you for getting here so soon. If not for you then my whole family would have been killed. Whatever I can do to help it is yours." The family has little money, but Garreni pushes three potions of cure light wounds he has collected over the years in case his sheep or family members were ever seriously wounded.

Levin accepts a potion gratefully. "You'll get this one back someday, I promise. Priests of--" (he glances at his holy symbol) "--Desna can always be trusted to do the right thing!"

Sirrah gives the man a bow. At your service and all; thanks for the gifts.
Looking to the others, Now should be follow the tracks these vermin left and find their hive or hovel. Anyone know what this strange goo is on them.
Before sitting down on the fence, adding I'm not feeling so well, I'm afraid.

Witha bit of a breather to finally investigate teh strange goblins, Sirrah begins to look over them. It looks less to be covering the goblins as it does to be an actual disease of some sorts.
You recognize the purple greasy slime-like substance as Demon's Bile. It is a very powerful disease that takes a while to onset though once it does it causes a creature to lose a bit of its mind, becoming more primal and stronger with extremely violent tendencies.
-1 Wis; +1 Str and Shift one alignment towards chaotic evil. Gain Fiendish Template
In addition to suffering the effects above, creatures under the effects of the demon’s bile disease hear a constant buzzing in their heads that, along with their shifting alignment, prompts them to undertake tasks that most would consider madness. This madness manifests in different ways for each creature, but it often involves delusions.
Demon’s bile is biological in nature, and if left in an open area unchecked, even a small amount of it can begin growing until, in 1d4 months, the substance takes up a 10-foot-by-10-foot area of filth. Demon’s bile that covers an area of that size or larger then begins growing in earnest, expanding at a rate of about 5 feet per day. Demon’s bile attracts vermin, and those that wallow in it (as well as some other creatures exposed to it) often grow in size, gain the fiendish template, or both. Additionally, demon’s bile that covers a 10-foot-by-10-foot area or greater has a 50% chance to spew forth fiendish vermin every 1d4 days. Any good-aligned damage, damage from cold iron weapons, or positive energy damage applied to any 5-foot square of bile destroys it.
