You get to the door and see him running down some stairs.
Sami pulls up short at the top of the stairs to reload her gun. She looks behind her assuming the others follow, points down the stairs and nods before heading down the stairs, her pistol held low but at the ready.
Vulpidin follows behind the others, wary of more foes.
This room is used to store sand and other raw materials. Two wheelbarrows sit against the wall. Just west of the stairs you are descending, a brick wall has been dismantled to reveal an older passageway leading south.
Tiyuvi points at the older passageway. "My guess is he went that way. Let's hurry." He moves quickly into the passage.
It is dark down here. The goblin has darkvision.
You can easily run up and grab a torch from the glassworks factory and light it in the furnace.
As Tiyuvi turns the corner, he sees the goblin climb through another unbricked wall at the end of the hall, and run into a nearby door shouting something in goblin.
Suspecting they'll soon be in combat, Vulpidin catches Lucien and chants a brief healing prayer.
"Hurry up guys! He's getting away."
Tiyuvi continues to race after the goblin.
Lucien nods to the fox-man. "Thanks." he says, as he takes off after Tiyuvi.
The goblin turns on Tiyuvi and swings with his dogslicer.
Tivuyi sees a half-elf man standing up, picking up a bow and slinging a quiver onto his back. It looks like you caught him sleeping.
Narrow hallway! Need to get in there.
Sami charges down the hall attempting to get near the goblin without getting stabbed. Passing her companions she rolls to avoid the goblin and comes up shooting.
vs touch
Tiyuvi eyes the half-elf. The circumstances tempt him to consider the archer and enemy but that might be a rash judgement. Tiyuvi jumps out of the way as the goblin attack him then he thrusts with his rapier.
Envisioning a dart striking out from his upraised hand, Lucien launches a missile of force, which strikes the goblins square in the face.
The goblin ducks and dodges and even sticks out his tongue. Then he gets a bolt of force right to the face and bites his tongue clean off.
"Wahhs da whee huh?"
Unable to get a clear shot into the room, Vulpidin loads his crossbow and moves up behind the others, waiting for his chance.
The goblin strikes at Tiyuvi, who tries to parry it. It isn't smooth, but Tiyuvi blocks the attack.
The half-elf, now alert and on his feet, shoots at Tiyuvi, but the arrow hits the wall instead.
Tiyuvi looks up with a start as the arrow shoots past him. He is a bad guy. And the goblin is blocking the door. Tiyuvi puts his shoulder down and barrels into the goblin, trying to push him into the room.
Sami quickly reloads and fires at the little goblin.
Sami drops the goblin, leaving an opening for the others to enter the room.
Tiyuvi steps aside while the goblin falls to the ground. "Nice shot, Sami." Then he eyes the archer. With swift steps he closes the distance between then and lunges with his rapier.
Vulpidin steps up to the doorway and points his crossbow at the archer, though he does not fire.
"Allow me to point out that you are outnumbered four to one," he says, voice oddly calm considering the situation.
Lucien moves forward, his blade of blue energy at the ready.
The half-elf tries to tumble through Tiyuvi's space, but there just isn't enough the room he thought.
Frustrated, he lashes out at the catfolk, who dodges the blow.
Tiyuvi sways to the side to avoid the half-elf's fist then counters with a quick thrust to the body. "I don't think he's interested in giving up, Vulpidin."
Worried about the close quarters for this fight, now that eveyone is in the room, Sami holds the gun in two hands. Carefully lining up a shot she fires, wincing at the noise in the small room.
"Not the best room for my weapon, sorry about the noise."
She quickly reloads and considers moving out of the room.
Lucien lashes out, his blue blade slicing down in a graceful arc.
Vulpidin tries to fire a bolt into the crowded room without hitting his friends.
While the two melee fighters are able to make small cuts, Sami and Vulpidin miss with their shots.
Tsuto starts kicking and punching, clearly cornered.
Still thinking this is not a great place for a fight there is little Sami can do to change it. She again lines up a shot looking for the most vunerable spot.

"Why are you fighting us? Where is Ameiko?"
"Sami, he's still attacking us!" Tiyuvi attacks again with his rapier and speaks to the archer. "If you give up, we'll let you live."
"You have a high opinion of your skills, UGH!" Tsuto is interrupted by a bullet tearing through his arm.
"Ameiko? Why do you care where my sister is?"
"WHy do you seem to not care, she is your sister for gods sake."
Vulpidin reloads and fires again.
"If he is working with the goblins, I suspect he does not wish the town well," he points out as he gets another bolt ready.
Vulpidin just misses with his shot. The half-elf is agile and quick.
Lucien continues to attack the half-elf. "After seeing what your goblin friends did to your father, why *wouldn't* we be concerned about Ameiko's whereabouts?"
"He deserved it!"
Tsuto is now visibly agitated, as Lucien manages a small nick. He then tumbles through Tiyuvi's space, more successfully this time.
As he passes through, he kicks out at the catman.
Sami, seeing Tsuto trying to leave, attempts to roll around him into the hall before loading her gun.
Tiyuvi reels from the solid kick from Tsuto. He hears, and feels, something crack in his rib cage. Somehow he maintains his composure and stabs at him.
Tiyuvi steps back, away from the archer. The pain in his ribs is becoming unbearable.
Vulpidin knows he has no skill in melee, but by blocking the doorway he can delay this surprisingly hardy elf and distract him. He readies his mace and swings it, while saying, "And the rest of this town? Did every man, woman, and child deserve being attacked by goblins?"
"You are a disgrace to your kind, half-blood!" Lucien says, slashing at the half-elf with his blade.
Lucien's comment seems to strike a chord, because Tsuto responds very poorly to it. "I'm going to kill you last, brother..." That last word drips with venom.
Keeping it simple Sami levels her gun at what she is not sure is a mad man.
"You will kill no one! The power of the accidental god will flow through me and end your madness!"
Exasperated she begins reloading again.
Vulpidin does his best to hold the man's attention with his ineffectual mace swings.
"You're no brother of mine, man-blood." Lucien sneers. Angered by the half-elf's presumption, he misses with his next attack.
Tsuto tries to take advantage of everyone's failure to fight well , but he also stumbles as he tries to tumble his way past Vulpidin.
As Tsuto tries to get ouot Sami sighs.
"You must be an idiot. Your not going to get away."
She quickly snaps off a shot and reloads.
