Claudia will again cast her Magic Missile spell at Blue, then will move if she drops it.

Claudia's bolt of force knocks Blue Goblin off his feet, killing him. She slides up next to Taah after firing the killing bolt.
Pris slides along the table, taking a large step and spinning her cloak out to try and catch the black goblin off guard before stabbing at it with her dagger, using Taah's assistance to aim for a weak spot.
Distracted by the situation her companion had gotten into, Aviel was slow to block the blow and the goblin's blade hit a weak point in her armour. Though it attack did not penetrate the armour, the attack was strong enough that it caused her arm to go numb for a moment and would undoubtedly leave a substantial bruise. Still, it was no worse than some of the blows her brother had subjected her during training. She ignored the pain and struck back at the goblin.
Though she was able to work through the pain, the momentary numbness still made her attack slow and clumsy allowing the goblin to easily step out of the way.
Gruesome Glassworks - Round 2 - concluded
Priscilla moves down the marble table, reaching down again to stab at Black, but her blade is turned aside by the goblin's boiled leather armor.
Aviel's wound slows her attack this round and the target, Yellow Goblin, is able to side step the blow.
Yellow counterattacks but the attack from Aviel has it off-balance and it stumbles missing badly.

Purple rushes around the end of the marble table and attacks up at Priscilla, who has found herself surrounded by foes at ground level. The attack cuts her lower leg deeply, and the wound bleeds profusely
Orange Goblin presses Taah, cutting another wound across her shoulder. The priestess is hurt pretty badly in the early going.
Red Goblin launches an attack on the injured halfling atop the table, but Pris is able to leap over this one, despite her injured foot.
Taah steps back from the fight, and calls on Sarenae mercy to heal her wounds.
Her goddess hear her plights and her worshipper's health is restored
Gruesome Glassworks - Round 3 - continued
Stepping back from engagement with the goblin hordes, Taah takes a moment to call on the divine healing power of Sarenrae. As an answer to her prayers, a single beam of sunlight bursts through the skylight atop the Glassworks and warms the face of Taah, restoring all her health.
Light Blue Goblin joins the others in surrounding Priscilla, swinging at her with his goblin slicer but missing.
Black Goblin chases down Taah in against the back wall, and swings his own knife at her, scratching the newly healed cleric.
As Taah steps back, Claudia takes a deep breath then steps up to help Pris, who was sorely outnumbered. She swings her staff at the most injured Goblin within her reach.
Aviel presses the goblin in front her, trying to get far enough forward that she can take the pressure off of Priss.
She sets her shield and then strides forward. As the goblin scrambles to avoid the wall of steel coming at it she slashes at the off balance creature...
...and steps over its carcass to stand beside Priss.
"If you are going to spearhead the advance, we need to talk about getting you a shield and perhaps something heavier than your leathers."
"Usually I'm fighting rats that can barely bite through a soft cheese," Pris grins, but a grimace gives away the pain in the heavy wound a goblin delivered to the halfling. She jabs the dagger at the red goblin, attempting more to keep it away than to actually harm it, before taking a step back.
Gruesome Glassworks - Round 3 - concluded
Keeping her guard up bravely despite her wounds, Priscilla steps away from the point position, balancing on the end of the marble table.
Aviel knows she must act quickly to keep her halfling ally in the fight, so she mows down the goblin in front of her, and steps up to stand shoulder to shoulder with the rogue.
Claudia also steps into the melee, swinging her quarterstaff at one of the green menaces, but her attack misses.

8 Claudia
With the armored warrior coming up on it, Purple Goblin bares it teeth and hisses like a housecat before swinging at Aviel. The goblin grows frustrated as its meager weapon cannot penetrate Aviel's iron suit.
Orange Goblin attacks Claudia, finding her unarmored form much easier to harm. He cuts a long ugly gash along her side.
Red Goblin follows suit, also attacking the sorceress but trips over a glass bauble on the floor, and manages to miss.
Taah comes back into the fight, but her clumsy attack-despite a tactical advantage this time-doesn't hit
Rawwwwgrrr...
She lets out a frustrated, savage growl, not really expected from a Sarenite cleric
Gruesome Glassworks - Round 4 - contiuned
Taah attempts an attack against the nearest goblin who is distracted by Claudia, but her melee attempt is very poor, and she roars in frustration.
The roar attracts the attention of Black Goblin who lashes out at Taah, but misses.
Light Blue Goblin slinks up the marble tabletop, and slashes at the injured halfing who has her guard up. The attack was wild in true goblin style and misses badly.
As the goblin on the table capers and cavorts about, Aviel patiently waits for the right moment to strike.
However the madcap and unpredictable movements of the goblin vex her attempts.
"By the first pact, these vermin are trying my patience.
Claudia again swings her quarterstaff, this time on Red.
"Come on, greenies, stay down," says Pris in a low voice that is indicative of her slowly eroding composure. She takes another, big step back to keep up her retreat from the goblins, and tosses her drawn dagger at the goblins while pulling another dagger, this one lightly curved, out with her free hand.
Gruesome Glassworks - Round 4 - concluded
Priscilla backs down from the table and hurls her dagger at the nearby goblin, but she fumbles as she winds up and the dagger clatters at her feet.
The unpredictable movements of the frenzied goblins makes hitting them with a blade difficult. Aviel experiences that frustration this round, as her stabbing stroke is sidestepped by a capering goblin.
Claudia's melee work with the quarterstaff leaves a bit to be desired as she is able to strike the goblin, but its grungy leather armor absorbs the blow.

8 Claudia
Purple Goblin shifts a bit to his left and stabs at Aviel, trying to get around her shield-facing, but the skilled warrior is able to block even that oblique attack.
Orange Goblin steps back from the melee and grabs a metal glass-making tool from the wooden bench, tossing it across the room at Priscilla. The tools clatter to the floor harmlessly.
Red Goblin moves around the small wooden workbench, and attacks Taah but its poorly crafted blade breaks off in its hand, and it howls in anger.
Taah strikes back, and might be more Lucky this time…
Thanks, Sarenae, for your protection!
Gruesome Glassworks - Round 5 - continued
The cleric of Sarenrae smacks Red Goblin upside the head, caving in part of the skull of the frenetic critter. She gives the praise to the sun goddess, but knows there is still more work to do.
Lt Blue Goblin lets Priscilla off the table and turns its attention to Aviel, engaging her at the same time as another goblin warrior. Aviel proves adept enough at her trade to block this second attack with relative ease.
Black Goblin presses the attack on Claudia, but the goblin cannot hit the sorceress.
Claudia contemptuously moves away from Blank and sets up a flank for Pris, then swings her Quarterstaff on Purple, in order to assist Aviel's attack.
Wehn the goblin turns to Claudia in annoyance as she pokes it with her staff, Aviel seizes the opportunity and slashes at its now exposed flank.
With Claudia and Aviel flanking one of the goblins, Pris moves to assist Taah, flanking one of the goblins threatening her, and slices her dagger towards its back.
Claudia contemptuously moves away from Blank and sets up a flank for Pris, then swings her Quarterstaff on Purple, in order to assist Aviel's attack.

Gruesome Glassworks - Round 5 - continued
Moving to flank one of the scary goblins, Priscilla drives her knife into the back of the foe, wounding it mortally, but not dropping it just yet.
Gruesome Glassworks - Round 5 - concluded
As Claudia moves around the marble table, basically ignoring the presence of the goblins to get where she wants, Black Goblin manages to plunge its ugly steel into her back, twisting as it takes a death blow from Priscilla. The wound is great and more than Claudia can bear, and she crumples into a heap under the table, her blood running out onto the stone floor of the Glassworks.
Distracted a moment by the cry of the sorceress as she goes down, Aviel's attack glances sideways off one of the goblin attackers, and fails to damage the foe.

9 Aviel (4hp dmg)
8 Claudia (-2hp, unconscious and bleeding)
Purple Goblin continues to press the attack, but seeing the declining number of goblins allies, begins to look a little worried, and takes a short step back to disengage after a half-hearted stab attempt.
Orange Goblin actually begins to back away from the fight, grabbing an unfinished glass piece and throwing it to cover its retreat, and screeches something in Goblin.
[spoiler=Goblin speakers]"It's the Longshanks that stopped the raid! We can't beat them! Run for your lives!"
Taah doesn't waste time in pursuing the goblins, as there is a life at stake.
She quickly calls for the favor of Sarenae, and heals some of Claudia's wounds, as she touches her bleeding flesh
Gruesome Glassworks - Round 6 - continued
Taah sees Claudia go down in a spray of blood, and her training takes over before she can even think. She steps over to the fallen companion and utters sacred words of power that bring the sorceress back from the brink of death. Of course, doing so exposes her to an attack in the back from Black Goblin. This time, that attack misses, and Taah is able to barely revive Claudia.
Blue Goblin attacks Aviel while backing away warily, but the attack is only to cover the step back across the marble table.
Black Goblin, clearly very hurt, tries to withdraw. But the positioning of the allies, gives Taah a clear shot at it as it runs.
"Healer to the..."Aviel cuts her sentence short and nods seeing that Taah is already taking care of the matter. "Priss, if they are going to flee feel free to take them at range before they can escape to cause more mischief."
Seeing the goblins stepping away from her, Aviel takes the opportunity to strike at the farthest vermin. She places calmly but quickly places her sword precisely on the table's edge with its pommel in easy reach. Then with the same practices move she had displayed before she takes another javelin and throws it at the farthest goblin.
Again the arc of her throw puts her hand beside her sword's pommel and in a flash it is once again in her hand as she steps up to menace the to closer goblins once more.
Taah defends the fallen Claudia, and strikes at the goblin, even if in her hurry, she doesn't use all her strenght.
She speaks to Claudia
Stay down, you're stil injured, I'll heal your wounds after that!
"Okay" comes the slurred response from the ground. Claudia, does, however, pick up her staff.
Gruesome Glassworks - Round 6 - concluded
Taah is able to bonk the nearly dead goblin on the head as its stumbles past, downing it for good this time. She then kneels at the side of the injured Claudia, keeping her from rising. The sorceress complies, even if she does reach and grab her bonded quarterstaff.
Aviel draws and hurls a javelin before regaining her sword. Her throw is offline enough that it misses harming any of the fleeing foes.
Priscilla drops her dagger, and readies her bow as the battle turns from a melee to a ranged affair.

8 Claudia (0hp, disabled)
Purple goblin withdraws, and rather quicky, to the far side of the long workroom.
Orange goblin stops to throw more glassware at Aviel, before also heading for the exits. The projectile shatters on the floor missing quite badly.
Taah movex toward the last standing goblin and strikes
If you don't want to redeem yourself, I'm sorry I have to put you down
Gruesome Glassworks - Round 7 - continued
Leaving the wounded, but now conscious, Claudia's side, Taah strikes out at the last of the fleeing goblins and crushes its over-sized head in with her blunt weapon.
As soon as the goblins aren't a threat anymore, Taah calls her companions by her side
Let us pray and bask into the mercy of Sarenae
Will that be enough, or shall I ask for Sarenae's blessing once more?
Aviel dashes forward a short distance to get closer to the goblins before they can get away. Not having the time to be particular about it, Aviel drops her sword on the table where it skittered a little farther than she had hoped.
She then threw her last javelin at the nearest goblin, intent on pinning it in place.
She had no better luck with this attack than with any of the others. "By the first pact, fighting in such confined spaces is not what I am trained in!"
Listening to the Goblins scamper away, Claudia will use her staff to stand, swaying on her feet.
"Well, there's definitely something weird going on here."
