Kua moves the rest of the way across the board while pulling his bow from his shoulder. "Call me ugly, call me a freak, then you throw s%!@ at me. Natalya, your questioning is gong to be painful!" the half orc yells out while choking back bile, hoping their quarry can hear.
Kua then turns his head back to the goblins and fires an arrow at on of their over sized heads.
To hit:
Damage:
Furious and queasy, Kua shoots blindly into the reeking muck between the three cackling goblins.

The sewer goblin with the broom handle tries once more to dislodge the beam...
While each hearty smack wobbles the wooden plank, it fails to push it wholly from the door frame.
His two compatriots throw their own bags at Sister Mara in the doorway...
The first pouch sails squarely into the stunned inquisitor's chest, covering her in a spray of filth and broken glass while the other nearly clips her assailant's face but sadly misses.
The treacherous thug brings the Sister's own stolen weapon to bear on her...
... and cuts a nasty slash across her shoulder.
Failing to grab Svetlana's weapon (and clearly having no idea who he's dealing with) the other tough tries to grab the gladiator herself.
The tiefling shoves him aside with ease.
Enraged at the treachery, Yang swipes at the thug who cut Sister Mara with his staff.

Missing completely, he steps back to make room for casting (5' step back).
Kua spits into the pit at the goblins, afraid some of the filth may have dripped into his mouth. "Blegh! How could I miss such a big head?!"
Attack roll:
Damage:
Round One:
"You've just forfeited the eight gold I was going to pay you," Sister Mara hisses at the treacherous man who cut her with her own scimitar. The inquisitor takes a step back and throws up her hand to unleash a scorching bolt of divine fire toward the offending thug.
Round Two:
Realizing that things had turned foul, Oren hurries forward, drawing his greataxe as he goes. The combat seems to have closed in to a narrow space, however, and he has little more to do than wait for an opening.
Jhaik, go get 'em.
Auron barks a command to his mutt, whilst drawing his longsword, testing its cold iron edge. Shield on the other arm, he closes in on the thugs going hostile.

Sister Mara feels almost overwhelmed by the disgusting concoction spattering her, but manages to set it aside for the moment.
She hops back out of the doorway, conjuring a bolt of flame and sending it hurtling at her assailant- but his reflexes are better than expected and he manages to duck.
"You've just forfeited the eight gold I was going to pay you," Sister Mara hisses at the treacherous man who cut her with her own scimitar.
The thug grins, spinning the Sister's fine scimitar in his greasy hand. "Oh, that's a damn shame. How much d'you think this is worth, cousin?"
Kua fires at one of the goblins down in the slop, a satisfying shriek rising from it as the shaft pierces its pumpkin-sized head. It runs screaming in circles, much to the delight of his companions. The half-orc pushes forward into the opposite doorframe, getting himself off the narrow beam.
Kua:
Outside, Svetlana hops back to take advantage of her weapon's reach but the thug catches her blade on his wooden shield.
Yang takes a clumsy swing at the scimitar-thief and backs away, while Auron and Jhaik close on the thug assaulting Svetlana. But so far the man has managed to deflect your probing attacks. The hound growls and snaps at the Varisian, going for his ankle-
Jhaik's bite:
But the loyal hound only gets a mouth full of chainmail.
Updated Positioning
-Kua is inside of the building and across the beam, standing in the opposite doorway.
-The three goblins are below in the muck.
-Sister Mara is outside, next to the doorway.
-Thug 1 is attacking her, standing in the doorway; Kua has line of sight.
- Yang is five feet from Thug 1
-Auron and Jhaik are engaged in melee with Thug 2.
-Svetlana is five feet from Thug 2.
Auron continues his assault on the thug outside, confident on bringing him down early. He watches his hound nip and the ice woman lunge and the cavalier edges into the thug's blind spot, leading the attack with a lunging thrust.
Oren attempts to move into a flanking position to attack the thug striking at Svetlana.
While Oren's blow connects, he is stymied by the Varisian's thick armor.

While the injured goblin continues his madcap thrash through the mud (much to his companion's amusement), the third goblin scoops up a big handful of sewage and throws the mess at Kua, trying to get the noisome mix into his eyes.
Improvised fling, ranged touch:
He almost succeeds, spattering the Duskwarden's cheek; fortunately, Kua blinks it away just in time, though it doesn't help the stench.
From behind him, Kua hears a familiar snicker, followed by a click! A heavy crossbow quarrel flies from behind the stack of crates, aimed for Kua's back!
Heavy Crossbow vs. Kua's flat-footed AC:
The quarrel penetrates his chainmail, nearly knocking him forward with the force of the shot!
The first thug steps in on Sister Mara, swinging her blade.
MWK Scimitar:
But she rolls under the swing, easily dodging his slash.
"Get on fatboy, you idiot!", he yells,"He's probably a mage!"
The quiet thug ducks behind his wooden shield, blocking or avoiding the probing attacks levied against him by Auron, Jhaik, Oren and Svetlana to stand back-to-back with his comrade and in front of Yang.
Yang takes a move action straight back (20'), and then uses the power of his bonded ring to cast grease on the 10' area the two thugs are in (but not Sister Mara, of course). "I wonder if you move so quickly now!" he quips.
DC 15 to avoid falling
Kua growls in pain and turns his back on the poo flinging goblins.
"More of the little runts over this way!!"
Kua spots the goblin with the crossbow and lets an arrow fly at its yapping mouth.
Round Three:
The thug grins, spinning the Sister's fine scimitar in his greasy hand. "Oh, that's a damn shame. How much d'you think this is worth, cousin?"
"More than your life, now," Sister Mara growls in response as she draws her hanbo from her belt. The inquisitor begins to swing toward the thug's head, but nimbly ducks low to hook the weapon around the man's ankle instead. With a quick yank she attempts to pull the thug off of his feet.
Ye cowardly mutt, come back 'ere.
Auron swings his sword wildly in the air in a threatening manner.
Thug 1's attack of opportunity:
The thug delivers a savage slash to Sister Mara while her guard is down a mere second before she knocks him flat.
Thug 2's reflex save:
The second tough slips and slides, but manages to remain on his feet.
Oren lets his first swing carry through before twisting his shoulders and bringing the axe around for another strike.
"Angradd curse you for your foolishness!"

Yang- 5 (moving back 20 feet, casting grease)
Auron- 5 (dazzling display- success)
Oren- 4 (attacking thug 2- hit)
Sister Mara sweeps the talkative thug's legs out from under him, but not before he slashes her savagely.
Meanwhile in the building, Kua retaliates against the goblin in cover. He only manages to hit the crates, however.
With a brutal overhand chop, Svetlana drops her heavy blade onto the fallen thug and wounds him grievously. Yang backs off from the combatants, withdrawing a pat of butter from his component pouch. He flicks the butter at the two thugs, weaving his hands in arcane gestures and chanting words of power- and before your eyes, the butter expands into a slick puddle of grease. While the standing thug slips, he retains his footing- though he noticeably blanches at the sight of Auron's swordwork and the hound bearing down on him.
Jhaik's attack:
But the hound is once again foiled by the man's armor. Oren steps in, crowding around the standing thug and dealing a vicious chop to his mailed torso.

The goblin behind the pile of boxes disappears behind his makeshift wall- the Duskwarden can hear him cranking and loading his heavy crossbow even as a second goblin pops up, firing his own weapon!
Goblin's heavy crossbow attack:
The quarrel flies into Kua's midsection, but is blocked by his chain shirt- the impact of the projectile battering and twisting some of the rings.
The screaming goblin finally keels over in the muck below the makeshift walkway, while his comrades attempt to cut off Kua from the outside.
Goblin 1 knocking over the beam:
But he only flails at it uselessly with the broom handle. His friend scoops up another handful of sludge, aiming it at Kua:
Handful of sewage:
And pelts him with it.
Outside, the thugs are seeing their treachery reaping its reward. The quiet one tries to flee the grease, clutching his wound.
Acrobatics:
Reflex save:
And nearly slips, but manages to catch himself, sheltering behind his shield as best he can, awaiting the inevitable.
The mouthy one staggers to his feet...
Jhaik lunges in with jaws eager for flesh...
And tries again, once the thug takes his time to find his footing.
Lay 'im low, git gets wha' 'e deserves.
Auron barrels through the doorway, to where Kua is at, assessing the situation, although Kua's filthy form tells him the goblins are playing dirty.
Sister Mara swings her hanbo at the mouthy thug's head as he attempts to rise to his feet.
Sick of being caught in a cross fire, Kua drops his bow, pulls his axe and leaps into the pit in one motion. Allowing his momentum to carry him, he attempts to bury his axe in the poo flinging goblin.

Oops, Damage should be at -2 as well.
Weathering a hail of blows, the petty thug rises to his feet and takes shelter behind his shield, focusing on avoiding any further damage.
Grimacing in pain, Sister Mara takes a step back and casts a spell to heal some of the damage inflicted on her by her own scimitar.
Yang appraises the situation, and realizing the thugs are badly hurt, just tries to use a light touch to finish them. He targets the mouthy one with acid splash.

Sister Mara knits her wounds, out of the toughs' reach.
Inside, Kua throws himself down from the beam ax first and sheers through the goblin's pumpkin-sized head before splashing into the reeking sewage.
Svetlana rains blows upon the mouthy thug, but he shelters behind his shield, focusing purely on surviving the next few seconds. Yang's splash of acid spits past his shoulder, smoking as it burns into the already damaged wood of the building. Jhaik snarls and snaps at the man's ankle, but fails to find his mark.
Oren hefts his greataxe, swinging at the second thug:
Greataxe vs. Thug 2:
But he misses, the head of his weapon thudding into the street.
With the blocked and the thugs cowering behind their shields, Auron swings his sword at the legs, attempting to trip his foe.
Yang sees his friends react first, and chooses his own action accordingly.
Yang moves towards the door, trying to get line of sight to the goblins inside. Another stream of acid races forward to strike one of them.

Yang, now quite ticked off that this fight has gone on too long and at the mens' treachery, steps forward to touch the thug trrying to defend himself. Electricity arcs from Yang's hand when he touches the shield, coursing through the thug's body.

After cleaving through the poo slinging goblin's head, Kua resets his axe an lunges forward at the runt attacking the beam.

His comrade split in twain, the last goblin shrieks and runs for the drain pipes in the wall.
The Duskwarden lunges, hacking his axe blade into the back of his skull- the goblin slides limp under the filthy muck.
The mouthy one slashes at Jhaik, keeping is guard up and not taking any risks.
Scimitar vs. Jhaik, fighting defensively:
But the slash is far too high to connect with the hound.
His companion attempts to rise from the greased floor..
Expecting the tripped thug to try to regain his feet, Auron lances his sword towards the torso.
He continues his attacks, withdrawing and thrusting again.
Sister Mara steps forward and tries again to hit the scimitar thief as he hides behind his shield.
With his adrenaline pumping and furious from the pain from his arrow wound, Kua attempts to jump up, grab the make shift bridge, pull himself up then take a running leap (axe first of course) at the two goblins across the gap in the next room.
Acrobatics:
Climb:
Auron stabs the rising thug through the chest and he screams, blood gurgling from his lips from his pierced lung. Frowning at the carnage, Oren mutters something and brings down his great axe in a deadly chop- ending his misery.
Sister Mara attempts to find a better angle of attack, but the thug is pressed against the doorway and she can't get around him. He weathers her clubbing on his shield until Svetlana's bardiche sheers rips through his guard, finally driving him to the ground in a heap.
Inside, Kua manages to pull himself up onto the plank, balancing on the narrow beam.
