Assuming that Toshio slaughters the ankle biter before him and there are no more combatants in the narrow hallway, Rullis states, "Looks like you've got these, I'll go help the others" as he jumps down off the stairs. He rushes down the hall and takes the spot vacated by Kerrec, planting himself against the wall behind what is left of the door and door frame. Peering around the corner through the destroyed door, he takes in the severity of the situation, long spear held at the ready.
Toshio cuts down his foe as Vidar and Camillo look on in support. Rullis moves back to the other door to discover that it has been broken down and his cmrades appear ready to act. The goblins fire a variety of shots at Kerrec and Kithian as the warchanter inspires but none find their mark.
Ripnugget moves forward on his salamander, a gleaming blade menacing the men in the double doors as he rides with ease. One hobgoblin throws a jar that flies past Kithian that explodes into a glue like mess on the wall to the barbarian's left. Luckily Kithian is unaffected.
The last hobgoblin fiddle with the door he just entered from apparently concerned with some task.
Kerrec ends the life of one goblin with ease (1). Kithian's axe finds purchase on another goblin but fails to land the killing blow. (2)

"Well, friends? Shall we turn their flanking maneuver around on them?"
Nocking an arrow, he asks the samurai, "Do you wish to lead while Vidar and I cover you? Or should I switch to my sword again?"
A burst of wind rushes past Kithian and Kerrec as Rullis targets what appears to be the greatest threat in the room. The rain from outside seems to be channeled through the cleric as he blasts the chief riding the salamander.
Support me with bow fire, I need no flank yet. Toshio charges down to the end of the hall and as he rounds the corner tries to skewer the commando that appears in the door.
Vidar follows behind Toshio, scanning the floor for what he suspects is a key.
Kerrec scans the room, seeing the hobgoblin fiddling with the door. He looks at Kithian and Rullis while loading his crossbow. "I think that hobgoblin is trying to make it hard for the others to join us. I don't see any other to way get into this room from that direction."
With that Kerrec will take a 5' step into the room and fire at the hobgoblin.
Camillo nods and follows the samurai down the hallway along with the archer-mage.
Kithian lets go of Reggie's colar and begins laughing as he follows the beast into the room, charging the Chief goblin.
I am guessing Reggie will go after the wounded goblin.

Toshio barrels down the hall and turns the corner to find the hall empty and door closed. Fluidly, the samurai uses his momentum to shoulder into the door and it splinters and cracks from the force, flying open. The hobgoblin on the other side hops back in surprise then smirks as a metal "twang" sound retorts to Toshio's arrival. A strangely designed lever hurls a small orb at Toshio from the top of door frame that collides and shatters on the samurai's armor.
Flames erupt onto Toshio as the orb breaks. A sticky sweet smelling oil oozes about Toshio spreading the fire and threatening to burn him further.
"Ah, clever, clever hobgoblin. Let me take care of that for you."
Camillo will sing a verse about playing with fire coming back to burn one's fingers as he drops his bow against the wall and whips his cloak around to try to beat out the flames on Toshio's shoulders and back.
I will wait to narrate Kerrec and Kithians actions until Vidar, Rullis and Cam have gone.
"Ware! There are camoflaged caltrops in our path!"
Assuming he gets some atention, he will indicate them as best he can to help his companions avoid them.

Spirited Charge, -2 to Attacks vi Rullis
As chaos erupts on the western wall as Toshio handily breaks down the door, the second hobgoblin peels from the main group to aid his comrade. With sling in hand another glass bauble whizzes into the hallway, narrowly missing Toshio and erupting along the floor; sticky sweet oil and fire flicker against the stones but do not spread or threaten the group.
The first hobgoblin who had been working on the door snarls at Toshio and takes a swing at the samurai, finding his mark and bites with the blade into the warriors side. Obviously torn about yielding the bottleneck, the hobgoblin decides to withdraw back from the door a step getting closer to its ally.
Meanwhile Kithian cuts an imposing figure and between his stature and his feat of strength to break open the door, he draws much of the attention from the goblins scrabbling to their makeshift cover. Arrows fly at the door. All miss their mark save one as a hit grazes Kithian's arm.
The chief roars from his giant salamander and lunges forward on his "steed". The lizard is remarkably fast and it becomes apparent how this goblin became chief of his tribe. With expert ability Ripnugget leans low and forward with his dogchopper and as he charges Kithian he lets out a guttural cry of his own. Despite the interference of the cleric Ripnuggets aim is true and his steel is strong. The goblin's blades bites deep into Kithian's shoulder, the blow perhaps the strongest the barbarian has ever felt or at least in recent memory. Ripnugget sneers at the obvious pain he has caused.
Abadar is with his champion today and as Kerrec steps into the room the paladin swears he can almost hear the sound of a key clicking home in a lock. The sound in Kerrec's mind punctuates the release of the draw on his crossbow, the bolt loosing and finding its mark on the hobgoblin that means to move on the paladin's allies. Ripnugget attempts to press his advantage at Kerrecs maneuver but his blade finds only air.

Rullis winces as he watches the chief's dogchopper cut deep into the barbarian. Ducking to try and avoid getting hit by arrows, Rullis grabs a hold of his healing wand and steps up behind Kithian. Activating it, he reaches out and touches the raging man. "I've got your back, Kithian!" he calls out.
Camillo will pick up his bow. "Toshio, move to your left!"
When the samurai leans left, Camillo will let fly with an arrow at a hobgoblin.

Ankle biting little menaces! You are a pox on the land, and you have hurt the woman I...well yes...
You've hurt *A* woman, and that is bad enough!
Toshio hears the call and takes a knee to the left quickly to allow the friendly arrow to pass overhead (He not in melee so Camillo should be sweet to fire).
If the damage is enough to drop A, he'll move foreward 5 feet and attack B two handed. If A takes the arrow and lives, he'll attack A.
Kithian howls in some strange luanguage as he continues to swing his falchion at the goblin.

Attack! (Light up that Paladin!)
Ripnugget withdraws.
Warchanter keeps blathering.
Hobgoblin double up on Team Samurai!
Rullis' wand whimpers in effort and does little to aid Kithian. Camillo's arrow fly true Toshio kneels for the shot before charging to his foes. Swords flash and ring as the hobgoblins ply their prowess against the samurai and though Toshio does not make his mark on either of the hobgoblins, neither are they able to lay a blade on him.
Vidar is able to clear the caltrops without incident.
Kerrec attracts the attention of the goblins cowering with bows with the chanter who continues his onerous droning. Arrows fly at the paladin and many find their target.
As Kithian growls the goblin chief smirks at the barbarian. Fighting off the blows of the oracle's axe, the chief withdraws on his mount . Defending himself the chief withdraws not back but up as the gecko clings to the wall with ease. The chief climbs the wall and turns and offers a mocking jeer.
"Vidar, have anything to make that thing drop off the wall? Or him off of it?"
Kerrec looks down at his body, pin-cushioned with arrows. He looks at Kithian. "If you can wade into the goblins, I can take care of their leader."
Kerrec asks for Abadar's assistance to strike at the heart of evil. Shouting at the goblin chief. "You can not escape Abadar's justice today!" He loads and aims his crossbow at him.
Frustrated with the low-quality of this wand he bought, Ha, what do you expect from some traveling salesman!, he lets the wand hang from his waist and turns back on the offensive. Hopefully what he did heal will be enough to help Kithian survive another blow like that.
With the chief fleeing, he turns his attention to the mob of goblins pegging them with arrows. He picks ones and draws upon the storm outside and blasts him.
"Apologies master Duin but I do not, the only thing that springs to mind would be to somehow sever the strap to his saddle.
But I fear an arrow is unlikely to achieve any level of succes."
Kithian spits blood after the goblin chief runs up the wall and belows at the top of his lungs before chargin the hobgoblin fighting his companion.

Having deflected the blows from both his foes, Toshio decides to fight conservatively. He attacks the one to his front (A), with a brilliant duck and cross slash, then takes a 5ft step to the north to stand in front of B, giving Camillo a chance to join the fray and maybe even Vidar's magic.
HEY! What is with suddenly killing all my hobgoblins you jerks!
"Oh look at me, I am mad about the chief on the wall, I want to roll crits!"
"Me too! Me too."
*sigh* :) :p
I'll get your update soon. If others feel like they know the flow of the map you can continue to post.
@Rullis that touch W/ inspire will hit. Roll some damage for me please.
