"Locked, huh? Give me a sec." Luc pulls out a took from his kit and gets to working on the lock.
"Voila."
As Luc works on the lock, Ninian looks around to see if they are being observed. Also, he is listening for any out of place sounds.
"Your technique is much better than mine, Luc! I would simply have melted the lock!" Wits pulls forth a flask of a foul black murky liquid, which he shakes. It begins to bull in an unwholesome manner.
Witz's knowledge of the layout of the glassworks, provides you with this rough sketch....
Please let me know which door you are going into! Up is North...
Witz has apparently lead you to the service entrance. Upon opening the doors you are within a loading bay. A wheelbarrow stands to one side and there are shelves on the walls containing the reagents used to colour the glass. A safe on the floor appears to have been left lying open. The single window in this room has a sheet spread over it, presumably to stop people looking in.
There are two separate doors to your left; A single door to the right, and in front of you, double doors, through which massive amounts of heat waft.
Reynard holds up a fistand points towards the double doors.
"The little $#!%s are behind there,"he hisses in a whisper."
"What is back there, more goblins?" Emanual says as he draws his sword and moves to the door.
Ninian pulls out his own sword and says, "Well what are we waiting for? Let's get'em!
Wits shakes his vial, causing it to boil furiously. "Let's bring them the deaths they deserve!"
Init:
Luc checks the door. If locked, he will try to open it. He will then try to sneak in with stealth, throwing dagger in hand.
Disable Device
Stealth:
When the door is opened, Dean will attack with his hand crossbow and a tumbling bolt, then drop it outside the entrance of the door then grab the corner of the dueling cape to use for his shield.
As the door opens Reynard sights the first available goblin and fires, ratcheting his crossbow to load another bolt.
Initiative
Emanual will hold for the doors to be opened, then charge in for an attack.

damage
The doors prove to be unlocked. Luc moves through the doors quietly, and sneaks to one side. One of the goblins, the closest, looks up and sees him, but before it can open it's mouth, it has a crossbow bolt through it's head and is falling to the floor.
Dean's bolt takes out another Goblin, and Emanual's charge takes out a third.
Goblins go from chittering with glee, to screems of anger, as Witz moves into the room, preparing to lob a bomb.
There are 5 goblins remaining, most of them at the far end of the room, but one still close.
Goblins will go on init 6.
Luc
He will throw a dagger at the nearest goblin within 30', if any.
Attack:
Damage:
Ninian, seeing how far out the goblins still are, decides to reload a tumbling bolt and shoot again. After he takes his shot he shuffles forward five feet.
Emaunal will charge another goblin.

damage:
Holding the doorway, Reynard fires another bolt, reloading quickly
Dean's shot takes out a fifth goblin, whilst Reynard's misses the dexterous runt.
Emanual charges a goblin, but his blow fails to land.
Witz launches the bomb in his hand at the furthest goblin
Another goblin is consumed by the flames of Witz's bombs.
The goblin in combat with Emanual, attempts to flail around with the red hot poker in it's hand, dripping molten glass as it goes, but it fails to hit the Man, instead getting the stone floor, and causing a shower of sparks.
The remaining goblin attempts to flee by the Northern most door, but finds is locked...
Wits laughs as the goblin burns. "I say! This was never a very interesting workplace until the gobbos showed up!"
Luc flanks the goblin with Emmanual.

The remaining goblin attempts to flee by the Northern most door, but finds is locked...
Ninian slowly walks up to this goblin, making a show of reloading his crossbow.
"Hey, where do you think you are going? Why don't you tell me what the hell is going on here!"
The furnace is roaring away down the left hand side of this room, broken glass is everywhere, as the goblins have been "playing" in here for some time.
The fruits of their labour are gruesomely visible near the North end of the room; the owner of the glassworks, Lonjicu Kajitsu sits enthroned on an elaborate chain, coated from head to foot in glass. his face is a rictus of pain.
Upon seeing Mr. Kajistsu, he decides to give up on the goblin for now. He rushes over to the glass enshrouded man.
He carefully begins to remove the shards of glass, trying very hard not to cause much more pain nor allow him to bleed to death.
"Ghastly business! I do believe he may already be dead, though. Glass must be molten to be poured and it does seem that they've done quite a deal on the poor old man!"
"Ghastly business! I do believe he may already be dead, though. Glass must be molten to be poured and it does seem that they've done quite a deal on the poor old man!"
[occ]Indeed, you have more a case of a man entombed in a solid prism of glass now, than a man covered in shards of glass.....[/ooc]
Emanual will attack the goblin he is now flanking with Luc.
"You'll pay for this horror!"

Emanual's blow knocks the goblin to the ground, where it twiches, and doesn't stand up again.
The goblin that's left is up by the door still trying to get out, but not making any headway, and not being too successful.
Reunard's eyes widen at the spectre before him. "You filthy little bastards!" he roars as he fires another bolt at the goblin trying to escape.
Ok, that would be all of the goblins down...
"Well what now?" Ninian drolls as he stares at the glass covered owner.
"I'm willing to bet there's more of them, and we haven't found his daughter yet."
"we haven't found his daughter yet."
Indeed.
"We should move on. I believe there may be tunnels beneath this place; perhaps it is there where the goblins are hiding."
Okey, decision time. What you doing and where you going? If noone decides I'll move you all along }:)
We start doing a room by room search, starting with any adjoining rooms to the furnace area.
Luc tries the locked door with his tools, while he does so, the rest of you notice a few things. Apart from the grizzly sight at the end of the room in glass, there is a pile of bodies cast to one side. Some of these have been dragged to the worktables and have similar glass encasements about their limbs. It is obvious with these though, that they were well dead before the procedure started. A few of the bodies lie half into the furnaces, giving the room a scent of roast pork, and burnt hair.
A few minutes work for Luc opens the lock of the Northern door. This leads out to the public facing side of the business. Firstly to a corridor, and then to the main "reception" room. A huge, glass roofed, circular room. This reception area is just to impress potential customers.. Shelves are lined with the finest pieces off glass art. Or were, until the goblins smashed them all.
The rest of the rooms on this level look similarly normal, although destructed. No trace of people, living or dead, can be found as you wander through to the entrance you came in at. Well, no trace other than the odd blood streak along the floor. the odd stain on the furniture. There are no signs of a fight, but every sign of the goblin's destructive instinct.
As you return to the entrance way you entered by, there is only one remaining room. The final doorway leads only to a stairway, that leads down into the ground. Torchlight flickers ahead of you.
"If no one objects, I'll take the lead. I'm sure there is nothing good down there. " if noone stops him, Emanual will begin making his way down the stairs, sword out and ready.
The stairs twist as they move down, and as you enter the room in the basement, you are met by a well lit room approximately 30ft to a side.
In front of you there are three goblins, and further back, a man. As you enter, the man screams something in goblin, and the little runts, turn to look at him, and move back into the room.
