Horlith looks around the corner, targets Versevosh, and fires two magic missiles direction at him.
The goblin cries out in pain as the missiles hit him. He roars, "Itt jönnek!"

OK, that's fine. But let's be clearer (damned PBP format!):
- Suprise Round: single move up to S36
- Round One: it is your intention to move to (Y34?) and activate nimbus?
How's that?

Horlith chuckles softly to himself, "Chuba winkee ateba. You sleep now," he thinks to himself. He then casts [i]lullaby (centered on the goblin at AA26, which should get them all in a 10' burst).
Base 10;
Plus 1/2 sorcerer level (i.e., 1);
Plus spellcasting stat modifier (i.e., 5);
Plus 1 for spell focus enchantment.
Anyone who fails takes a -5 on perception checks and a -4 on Will saves vs. sleep effects.

The Doctor moves to W37. He readies an action to order the dog to attack any goblin other than Ekkie who does not succumb to Horlith's ministrations.

Ekkie is bouncing back and forth on her feet, eagerness and odd anger simmering off of her. When Horlith begins to prepare himself, Ekkie runs in to the room! She points at the goblin astride the goblin dog and yells, "Plarg saka tu esi stulbs, tu dumjš cilvēks ar ekskrementiem ausīs, Versevosh!" She stick her tongue out at him and then picks up a rock and throws it at him.
At nearly the same time, Horlith's spell goes off, suffusing the goblins with arcane energy.
To most people, nothing seems to happen, but to Horlith's keen sight, he can see that all three of the goblin sharpers' eyes are drooping and their heads seem to wander and sag, as if they are tired.
The goblin leader, Versevosh, begins yelling at his goblins, "Kelj fel, te idióta bolondok! Készülj fel!"
Joadric, holding steady with a dagger in one hand and his rapier in the other, waits and watches Horlith. Once he casts his spell, Joadric motions over his shoulder at Peppin, giving him a thumbs up.
Peppin runs up, the light of the torch suddenly overshadowed by a pearly nimbus of light shining forth from him! The glow suffuses the chamber ahead of them, casting eerie shadows across the room upon the goblins.
Once Peppin moves forward, Joadric immediately charges up to within dagger range, preparing to throw a blade across the sewer chasm at the assembled goblins.
The goblins ready themselves at the edge of the bridge across the stinking sewer channel. One of them immediately runs up to the edge of the channel and lobs a flask of alchemical fire at Joadric, who has presented a perfect target.
The flask explodes in a holocaust of burning green fire all over Joadric. "AHHHHH!" he begins screaming, again facing immolation.
When he sees the big Kellid go up in flames, Versevosh stands up in his goblin dog saddle and points his empty flask at the burning Joadric. He tosses it negligently in Joadric's direction. It drops a few feet away upon the ground and shatters. Versevosh laughs derisively and begins calling out, "Oops, big longshanks not too hot, I hopes. Longshanks seems not like goblinfire. Hmmm, not sure why. Has longshanks seen goblinfire before? Noooo, sure not. Hahaha."
The goblin leader continues on, calling out repeatedly with derisive and satirical comments about Joadric and his friends, their inability to even avoid the most basic of dangers, and comments sarcastically on the poor clothing choices of Joadric, which are charred almost to complete destruction. When he says this, he touches his stylish hat with dangling ribbons, fetishes and other objects, as if to suggest even a goblin is more fashionable than a tall, awkward human.
Throughout the derisive calls, his voice rises louder and louder, echoing down the chamber and hallway.
"The underworld spits up into the Nightsoil Marauders' home-home, yes? Devil world not want slugs, so sends to surface. Keep going, sluggy, higher! Humans higher up. Only us goblins down here. You lost."
"Come out come out shortshanks. Proud shortshanks light-warrior hiding behind everybody? Look, only goblins brave here. Even Mushfen girl and goblin skull charge up. Longshanks maybe need be shorter, so small spirit seem bigger, fill them up."
"Hé fiúk, érzel vacsora? Ruff, ruff, mmm numm numm! Hey boys, you smell dinner? Ruff ruff!" he calls out. The three goblins with him laugh and lick their lips at the prospect of eating Dr. Remulac's dog.
His performance continues on, calling out the shortcomings and inabilities of the Pathfinder team with uncanny accuracy. Everybody hearing his calls feels their confidence ebb, slightly. He's right, of course. And who are the Pathfinders, really, to think they can accomplish their mission down here? Horlith wonders if he's doing the right thing. Ekkie is a bit unsure she should've allied with the Kellid and his team of misfits. Remulac, always a bit diffident in his actions, suddenly questions whether this little mission is really for him. Peppin for his part, always impervious to straight out fear, simply wonders if he shouldn't have prepared more. Maybe more training? Some additional equipment? And this slug character with them, his spells never seem to work and his healing has a very evil feel to it. Is this what a holy warrior should be doing?
- Each one of you is struck with a lack of confidence, brought on by Versevosh's performance. This is not a fear-based effect. This cancels most of the Holy Light effect from Peppin, leaving the +1 to AC
- No healing after last fight? - I don't see where the party healed up after the last fight with the alchemist. Correct me if I'm wrong.

(FYI Bard performances are emotion based . . . yes, it is a 'fear' effect, the performance opposite of INSPIRE COURAGE . . . -1 on fear saves . . . etc . . . And FYI I am recovering from surgery on right shoulder. Type time slower.)
I double move to AA 30.
Mitch, sorry to hear about the shoulder. Hope the surgery went well. Everything fixed?
As for the bardic performance, Satire... sorry, that's not how I read it. Commentary in the discussion tab.
I'm happy to hear PRD citations or FAQ references contrary to my view in the discussion tab.

Ekkie immediately runds up closer and begins shouting at Versevosh, "SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!" over and over. She throws a rock at him.
Joadric, for his part, also throws things. In fact, he throws a dagger across the channel at the nearest goblin.
The dagger strikes the goblin in the right-side chest. Goblin blood spurts from the wound, falling into the sewer channel and mixing with other raw sewage.
The flickering alchemical fire races over Joadric's body and then goes out, leaving him burned and smoking.
Dr. Remulac, perhaps dismayed by the satirical mocking of him by Versevosh, does nothing. He listens as Horlith begins arcane incantations, summoning sorcery to put the goblins to sleep.
Peppin passes by the chanting qlippoth-spawn and moves forward, ready to take the battle to the goblins.
- Ekkie - ends in AB30
- Joadric - 18/33HP
- Dr. Remulac - remains in W37
- Horlith - remains in X36
- Peppin - double moves from V36 to Z31. Peppin couldn't reach AA30, due to the hard corner, but he's close. Ends in Z31
The goblins continue to laugh at the heroes as their leader, Versevosh, chants satirical remarks towards the Pathfinders. As he does so, he drops his whip and pulls his bow, moving his mount closer as he does.
He fires his bow at Joadric with a laugh of derision.
The small goblin arrow flies across the bridge and hits Joadric in the arm, puncturing this flesh until the arrowhead protrudes from the other side of his arm.
The goblin fire-lobber throws another flask of alchemical fire. This time, however, he targets Peppin.
As the flame blooms around and on the halfing, the other goblins begin to jump up and down in glee.

With continued movement I will jump to AA27 1d20+7
Where's the +7 coming from on your jump?
Modifiers:
Dex +3
Racial acrobatics bonus +2
Speed 20ft jump penalty -4
What did I miss?
Because you don't have 10ft of runway, the DC is double, so DC20. If you don't make it all the way, and end in AA28, the caltrops littering the bridge (drumroll please...)
DO NOTHING!
Although a failed jump means you fall prone. Let me know if I missed something on the jump modifiers.

Will wait until end of day before proceeding with post.
OK. Thanks. That's why you said "continuous move."
Ekkie continues to shout at the top of her little goblin lungs, "SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!" She throws a rock at Versovosh, seeking to distract him.
Joadric hesitates, considering how useless his previous dagger throws have been. Instead, he puts his hand on his rapier hilt and steels himself to rush the goblins...
Dr. Remulac inches forward and calls for his holy power to cure his fellow pathfinders.
Behind him, Remulac can hear Horlith come a stunning, dramatic conclusion in whatever Abyssal language he is uttering, and suddenly
all three goblin henchman AND Versovosh's goblin dog collapse quietly into a deep sorcerous slumber.
Peppin doesn't stop for a second on his run to the caltrop-littered bridge. Despite the flames burning him once again before going out
the halfling paladin makes an amazing leap and sails through the air and lands directly in front of the suddenly mount-less goblin chanter! With a mighty strike, he slashes into Versovosh!
Joadric seizes his opportunity and leaps across the sewer channel
landing atop the sleeping greeneyed goblin. Having drawn his rapier in mid-jump, he stabs at Versevosh!
The rapier slides in between Versovosh's ribs, wounding him.
- Dr. Remulac - ends in Z35
- Horlith - remains in X36; STILL HAS AN ACTION AND MOVE THIS ROUND! Please state new(?) action
- Peppin - 26/39HP; ends in AA27
- Joadric - 21/33HP; ends in Z27; delayed until after Peppin
OK.
Q: Doesn't Joadric do sneak damage against a sleeping target?
Yes, he does. But he hasn't attacked a sleeping target yet. Versevosh, the goblin bard, which you engaged, is not asleep. Horlith got the three henchmen, plus Versevosh's goblin dog mount. But not Versevosh himself.
As Versevosh's goblin dog mount collapses beneath him, asleep, the goblin drops carefully and easily to the ground.
"Oh, you think you great. But Inoklar take care of you!" says Versevosh, a deep malice evident in his voice.
He retreats, leaving his goblin dog, racing down the hallway ahead of you, turning a corner...
