The dagger does not hit.
Mary, give me a Will save, DC 12! If you fail it, click on Calin's save above to see what happens.
Lynleera, the goblin you magic missiled is going to come at you and strike you with a blade that it draws, inflicting 2 damage.
Shouting out in pain, Lynleera begins to sway and her movements begin to become more rhythmic until her rapier drives itself at the goblin.
"So much for stopping the caster."
Suddenly Mary snickers and she covers her mouth causing her to chortle and even snort. Her cheeks puff out but she can't overcome the effects of the spell, and she bursts out in a mighty and loud guffaw. Within seconds she is on her back, holding her belly, rolling on the road, and with tears streaming down her cheeks.
"It hurts! BUWHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Speaking in Draconic words, blue shards of a cloud like frost, sending it forth towards the whip wielding goblin.
"Sick 'em Blake!" Sizma shouts as she directs her magic at the whip goblin. The black leopard rushes forward and attempts to maul it to pieces.
The Ray hits, as does the second Claw. Between those, the Goblin spellcaster is brought low!
Only one Goblin left. Selaros is doing his thing. Raven, you and then Mary have actions. There is one blade-wielding goblin remaining. The one with the whip is bleeding out, as is one other. Four are unconscious.
Time for something drastic.
Raven takes note of the cat's, "Blake's" swift and deadly attacks. I'm fine with cats; I just hope they don't all have a grudge against me... He reaches out and touches the cat's flank, infusing it with a blessing of luck and good fortune.
1 round.
"Ahahahaha....ha....hee....hooo!" With the spell subsiding she was able to sit up, and then get to her feet. After all that laughing she had to rub some of the ache out of her stomach.
"Now, who is left? Oh, right." The goblin she MISSED, thanks to a dropped apricot, was was still standing. So, she poked him with her rapier.
It is and that 11 will hit, and that 8 will drop him!
There are now four unconscious Goblins.
There are enough of you to tie them up or coup de grace them before they wake. What do you do?
He scowled at the blighted creatures as he woke up. He didnt like the idea of leaving the blasted things about.
Their may be more goblins causing chaos, lets tie up the spellcaster and one other, and get rid of the leftovers.
He growled out seeming to sound a bit angry.
Any further harm and chaos they cause in this town are on your concious not mine, hurry up and tie them up, and lets go. I dont like letting vicious no good monsters running loose in my town... even if they are small
"Don't kill the whip wielding one, or at least save some of them!" Sizma shouts out as she watches two of the goblins die.
You have time and material to tie up the remaining two Goblins. At this point, looking around the square, the chaos has died down a bit. There seems to be no fighting currently, and Father Zantus, the priest that spoke earlier, has several injured townspeople around him. He looks weary.
Hoping they might feel the same, Mary turned to Sizma and Lynleera so she did not have to watch the stable boy she bumped into earlier(Calin) kill the goblins like that. Even though it was for the best it left her stomach feeling unsettled.
"I'm not really sure how I feel about this. Sure, they're goblins, but they're a little like dogs with rabies. They just can't help themselves in what they're doing, can they?" She sighed and shook her head."I want a drink."
From behind the stalls a man steps out in front of you. He wears a dark blue mask covering most of the face only leaving the area around the mouth, from under the nose open. He has a dark blue cape with a white interior and wears the symbol of Desna on his chest. He speaks to you in a deep voice "I am the terror that fills goblins with fear, I am the defender of the townsfolk in Sandpoint, and I thank you for your help today. It seems we have able fighters and the fight is not over yet. There are more fighting to the north and I could use a hand, the goblins over overconfident because of the festival, they think they can hide and steal during the chaos, but we will show them their error."
And with that said The Desna Knight rushes to the north with his glaive out already, moving gracefully while running and avoid bumping into people as he progresses to the next fight.
He had to literally pause in his scowling at the trussed up gobins to openly stare at the man who approached suddenly to inform them of the battles up north. After a moment he shrugged he looked to the others.
"Well, you heard the man... there are more goblins lets go.
He said moving rapidly after the man.
Raven follows after the masked hero, somewhat starstruck at seeing a champion of his deity.
"As one Desnan to another, you are like, really cool!"
Sizma appears to be confused at the strange man whom popped in out of nowhere seemingly. She looks to Blake, her familiar, whom gives what could only be akin to a shrug of sorts as it saunters back to her.
Confused, Mary in turn examined everyone's face, doing her best to decipher what they might be thinking or feeling. Here, someone in a costume just appeared out of nowhere. She did not really know what to feel, other than a twinge of jealousy fluttering in her chest. It made her toes curl. All she had was a mask, and he had a full ensemble! And he had the presence to make it work. However, at least, he was on the same side, and him being a worshiper of Desna added to his appeal. So, maybe he wasn't too bad.
"Cool? Hey! I wear a mask too, you know!" She cupped the spot where her mouth was on her mask and even rose to the very tips of her toes just to make certain they both heard her. Then, with a frustrated sigh she relented and chased after both of them. This was not the time for petty jealousy. A town needed saving!
"So how many of them are there, do you know?" She called out to the vigilante. She kept her eyes on any good nooks or crannies she could dive into and disappear, just so she can see the looks on the goblins faces when she suddenly stabbed them out of nowhere. Mary was not feeling sorry for the little green bastards anymore.

Panting lightly and visibly shocked at the strange man in a mask, Lynleera shrugs and raises her own rapier. "If there are more goblins, we should hurry then, yes?" Turning to Selaros she giggles at apparent hero worship. "Maybe he wears the mask because it is comfortable? I suspect most everyone will be wearing one in the near future!"
With that, Lynleera dashes off after the "knight".
The Desna Knight looks ver his should to see if they are follow as they run. "I'm not sure how many there are left, I only heard the fighting further north as I dealt with a stray goblin on my way through the center. My estimate is a small band of 3-7 goblins, that's there useal attack pattern. The goblin tribes around town have been rather active lately, but I thought the beating the received last week would have scared them off, as you can see both me and my contact was wrong on that assumption."
"Something has given the goblins courage, I most discover what and destory it, for the town's sake. Agustianna please remain safe."
"Comfortable but mysterious!" She said in a playful tone to tease the elf and giggled. "Wouldn't you say?"
She acknowledged what the Knight said about what they were possibly running into with a quick salute. "Gotcha! So, have you been at this hero thing for long?"
You all run around the corner, following the street to the north, coming upon a harrowing scene. Two goblins, riding grotesque mounts, are engaged in combat with a dog. They are chattering angrily at it, and six Goblins are cowering behind an overturned cart. Those of you that speak Goblin can make out what they're saying;
"Kill the scary biter! Slash it, smash it, kill it!"
The dog is clearly defending a richly dressed man who is hiding behind a barrel. As you close in, one of the mounted Goblins slashes down, killing the animal! The Goblins howl in glee, and move to attack the man.
There are six goblins, and two more mounted. They were so fixated on the spectacle, however, that they completely failed to notice you! You all get a surprise round. After you take your surprise round actions, I will roll initiative.
The six Goblins are huddle close together, by the by.
He wanted to scowl at the back of the vigilante. wanted to. There was more important things to do than worry over such things. He charged forward moving to intercept the mounted threats at least His flail whistling through the air as it intercepted the little green creatures path... he hoped it was enough to knock it off its foul little beast.
It hits, but the rider is still mounted!
Lynleera starts to hum to herself as the goblins come into sight.
Moving as fast as she reasonably could, her rapier flashes out like lightning at one of the mounted goblins.
However, the uneven terrain keeps her aim off a little too much.
Sizma rushes over and quickly casts a spell. That spell being of similar nature, no, the same spell used before. Not that anyone was complaining about it.
Her familiar quickly rushes out, attempting to tear a goblin to shreds.
With her rapier drawn Mary, the Wisp, leads in with that. Letting the heavy hitters take out the goblins on the mounts, she'll keep the other six occupied. Not that she wants to, she's terribly outnumbered, but there are innocents and she just can't let them die. Besides, surviving entitles her with bragging rights.
"So, after this who wants to go to the pub for a few?" She asked the others during the scramble and thrust her rapier forward in hopes of popping a goblin like a bloated wine-skin. "I'm the Wisp, by the way. I mean, it is when the mask is on."
edit
Only one of the 5 Goblins make their save. The other two are Unconscious for 5 Rounds.
Mary, I think it'd make sense for you to take out the remaining conscious Goblin. Your 12 Damage is more than enough to take it out.
Blake rushes forward, taking out one of the Goblin Riders. It's mount is still active though!
So Raven and the Desna Knight still have their actions. Five Goblins are unconscious for 5 rounds, one riderless mount is snarling at you, and the other rider, injured by Calin, is about ready to fight.
Waiting on Raven and Desna Knight, then we'll go to initiative!
He acknowledge the others combat prowess and moves in to defend the man from the mount "Foul beast taste the might of Desna's Knight." and with that he charges the mount.
It is brought down! Raven?
"Excellent work, everyone. Focus on that rider and the battle will be ours!"
Lynleera brings her blade up behind her back, angling it not unlike a scorpion stinger. With a twirl, she plunges the blade down at the goblin.
Okay! I had some stuff incorrect. There is currently only one Goblin Rider on his mount. Lynleera, you will hit on your turn. Calin, it's your turn.
Shifting his stance slightly to work in tandem with the elven woman he bumped into earlier... the one asking about the old lighthouse to completely flank the goblin on it mount he swung his flail hard in a horizontal arc...
Perhaps it was his distraction from that so called knight showing up, but it was certainly not his best attack.
Got it! Calin, it swings at you with it's blade from it's mount. But you're moving too well for it to get a bead on you, and it misses! The rest of you may take your turns.
"I think whoever made up the phrase,'so ugly it's cute' hadn't seen one of dog rider thingy-whatcha-call-its." Mary said as she slid in closer to make her attack with her Rapier poised in front of her. With a sudden flicking movement of her arm her sword flashed out towards the enemy goblin dog rider.
10, even with flanking bonus, will not hit
Sizma is up next, I believe!
Sizma's spells seems to go wide as she tries to back away from the fight.
Okay! Sizma is not successful. Lynleera, your attack lands, causing some pain! Raven, you're up, then Calin.
