Drakroo follows the others around to the battle, and dives in --literally-- headfirst!
Mr. Biggs pulls out one of his round flasks filled with a shiny red Amber like liquid and throws it straight at the commando gobo.

The commando bursts into flame, his mount yelping as the flames lick down at it. The commando falls from the goblin-dog, sent by Mizzug's glave, motionless. The rest of the goblins are scattered by the pary's attacks, and the goblin-dog simply growls before striking at Libris.
the dog-like creature barely scratches his armor.
The other goblin have yet to realize their leader has fallen, and they retaliate clumsily
it's swing is slow and frankly seems to be holding the blade backwards.
this one deflects off the dragon's scales.
Before the last goblin can attack, he is bitten by the dragon, putting him in a deathly condition. it swings it's blade pitifully before falling face flat on the ground.
Rixa blinks, unsure if the battle- if one could call it that- was already over. She picks up her crossbow, reloads it, and sheaths her morningstar, before going to check on the man the goblins were attacking.
"Are you all right?" she asks, her voice as musical as always.
Rixa charges forward at the nearest goblin (or the dog, if it's closer), and swings her morningstar at it.
Moving to stand place a goblin between himself and an ally , she grumbles to herself. "શેલિન મિઝગગને હેપની જરૂર છે, ગાય્ઝ સાચવો"
A ray of bright yellow light from the sky shoots down into her glaive, causing it to glow for a moment.
"Won't you goblins please just stop?!" Drakroo yells, moving up to one of the remaining enemies and biting away.
Libris swings his exotic sword down in an arch, his aim to end the life of the creature attacking him.

The last goblins fall easily to the rest if the party. And the man who was cowering earlier stands. Oh my gods! Thank you! If there's anything I can do for you just say it and I will gladly help! Ah... After the battle, I need to get away from this! then without introduction he leaves... Well at least he was willing.
Rixa tries- unsuccessfully- to hide her grin at the nervous man. She looks around, and, picking up her crossbow, reloads it, stows her morningstar, and quickly sends off a beam of fire at a nearby goblin.
She looks around, seeing where else they might be needed to fend of more of the little pyromaniacs.
If there are no more attackers to be seen or heard, Libris will sheath his sword and try to go look for survivors or any others of the town that needs help

Drakroo also looks around, making sure that the excitement is over. As he does, his breathing begins to slow back down and the excited grin turns to a sad frown as he takes in the damage.
"Wow..." he says, "...just wow."
Watching the man flee, she chuckles. "Puny hooman"
Looking over the carnage, she attempts to locate more foes. Rushing towards the sound of violence, she readies to swing her weapon at the first villain she encounters.

As the fires die down you realize the battle is over. Men and women travel the streets, dousing fires and calming lost animals, but all the goblins in sight are either dead or dieing.
A guard approaches the group, startled when a glaive swings past him. by the gods! Ah, you... You saved the town! Without your help... I'm afraid we might have lost much more. Who are you?
Seeing that one of the guards reporting the fight is over, he sheaths his sword, his shoulders relaxing
"It is what anyone would have done if they were in our shoes. It is but a pleasure to help and to serve" he gives a slight bow to the guard
"Now, are there any other people here that you think could use our help?"
If no people are in any further danger, Libris will try to help with calming the animals
"But... we... but... We didn't" Nightspear flutters to Rixa, and twitters something in her ear, "It was a pleasure helping the town, captain. My name is Rixa, this is Nightspear. Do we know where the goblins came from? I've never seen so many working together before."
Rixa looks around, and if she doesn't see anything she can immediately help with, casts a quick spell of telekinesis, looking through the fallen goblin's belongings.
Blushing at the guard, she giggles. {b]"Oop. Mizzug sorry."[/b]
Looking around the area at the downed goblins, she inquires "All ok? Need me fix?" as she walks away from the goblin bodies.
Turning back to the guard, "Uh....we...." Pausing as she takes in the makeshift group. With a broad grin she replies "We be da Singin Birds." Giggling at her proclaiming such a scary team name for the group, she winks at Libris.
Libris nods his head at her, accompanied by a bow
"Splended name, my lady"

'Did I just join this group?! How... wonderful!!' Drakroo thinks. Making friends and finding a new "tribe" had turned out to be a lot easier than he'd expected!
"Happy to help, good sir!" he says, excitedly.

The guard thanks you, and so does everyone else.
The rest of the day is spent cleaning up the mess the goblins made.
As the day goes on more and more goblins are pulled out of strange places, several seemed to drown in half-empty rain barrels, where trampled by horses, or otherwise ended up killing themselves in some strange or stupid fashion.
Only a few(thankfully) townsfolk died. Those that live are only too thankful for your work, calling your group the Sandpoint hero's despite your title being the Singing Birds.
They greet you on the streets, offer you food and otherwise forget their racism in turn to thank all of you for your work in town.
Rixa enjoys her new celebrity status, and even Nightspear's constant twittering about how the group was named after him doesn't get her down.
Libris turns down the gifts
"It was my honor and duty to protect you. No need for the thanks" he hoped his voice carried the smile he was trying to portray
-Posted with Wayfinder
Grinning from ear to ear at the acceptance, she nods to a few. "Mizzug good. Tanks. Shelyn make Mizzug hep."
The massive woman offers her assistance in burial rights for the deceased and sees to it the injured are tended to. Once that is completed, she pulls out her instrument and strums a lullaby from her youth.
As he sees Mizzug start with the rights, he too will join in
"Let me help you m'lady, a duty such as this should not be carried out alone"
Desperately needing a pick me up after burying the poor, poor townsfolk that perished, Mizzug finds her way to the front of the new church. Her towering figure hard to miss in front of the new building, she turns to show off her sacred symbol upon her face.
Beginning to strum her cryptic lullaby, she adds the words...
"Ooooooooooo
Night-Night 'ittle one.
Night-night.
Need sleep fast, lest da small man stab oo
Need sleep fast, lest da kitty eeeet oo
Ma'ami no luv oo.
Paapee no luv oo
Dey hire men to stab ooo
Nigh-Nigh 'ittle one
Night-Night
Ef da gods see fit
Mayba see da Murnen"
Smiling, she bows to nobody in particular.
Rixa watches the pair singing, not joining in. However, she does hum slightly to set the tune.

The Sheriff set a bounty on goblins in the area, 5gp for every ear brought to him. Luckily for Mr.biggs, there is a footnote explaining that the goblins must be from outside the town, therefore any goblins found inside the city don't count.
The townsfolk otherwise treat you all as hero's, offering discounts on equipment and even free stays at the rusty dragon.
Holding out her lute to one of the merchants, she asks "Can get new one? It wore. Better quality, yeah?"
Rixa enjoys her newfound celebrity status, but quickly grows bored of people fawning over her- unlike Nightspear, who loves the doting of their fans. She soon becomes restless, and approaches the town leaders on guidance as to what she can do to help, and turn in the ears from the goblins the Singing Birds killed- 5 gp each, two ears per goblin, and 10 goblins killed totaled 100 gp, and she wasn't about to let that slide.
Libris will try to find the smith. He then takes out his weapon and places it confront of the man.
"I wish for a blade like this. Just. Well. If you have time. Better quality. And how much such a weapon would cost me."

Drakroo, wanting for very little and used to getting by on even less, doesn't make a big stink about the bounties, but not does he complain as Rixa gathers the ears up and collects them. Truth be told, his favorite part of the 'reward' is having people to socialize with, and the much-improved relationship with the Townsfolk that he's garnered since the Goblin attack.
Drakroo takes special interest in Libris and Rixa and spends time getting to know them and understand their kind, having not been familiar with either previously.
"Greetings my small lizard friend! That was some fight we had there!" the thing, but heavily armoured human greets Drakroo
"It was, for sure!" Drakroo responds.
"Though, truthfully, I'm glad it's done. Can't say I enjoyed having to put them down, and some of the villagers weren't able to defend themselves quite as well as we all did. Still, I'm glad we were here!"
After a pause, and a visible working-up of courage, Drakroo continues:
"I'll say, Mister Libris, that I've not been out of the nest long, so maybe it's my fault, but I've not encountered one quite like you before. What exactly are you, if you don't mind my asking?"
He tilts his head a bit to the side, causing his helm to slide too.
"Well. I see myself as a human" he responds. A smile could be heard in his voice

"Oh? Just not keen on showing your face then? I guess I can understand... Sorry I mentioned it." Drakroo replies, still a little wary of his new friend.
"Suppose I'm just not used to humans yet, is all. No offense intended."
"My face has been horribly scarred. I'm afraid it may scare the children. So I keep the helm on. " he nods
"No offence taken my small friend"
