Shiv's rapier ends the life of the goblin, but cannot undo the indignity he has suffered.
Ellantera calmly reaches out with her sword and helps him along.
"Let's get the bridge back up, eh? Can anyone get this filth off us with magic - they'll smell us before they ever see us."
She lets Shiv and Oscar take out their frustrations on the remaining dying creatures, swipes some cloth from one to wipe the worst of the offal and blood from her blade, and studies the erstwhile bridge. She lifts the end farthest from the door back into position before moving to the end near the door, ties Galyna's rope around it, and tosses the rope to someone that can pull it up.
Ellantera and Galyna get the plank back into place; it is covered in muck, but with the rope to brace, crossing it shouldn't be too risky.
Ellantera will wait in the muck - finishing off any goblins as necessary - until the others cross. She will aid Miet by lifting her and climb up the destination side of the pit.
Galynamakes her way across, glad for both her mask and the fact that she is still unsullied.
The doorway on the opposite side of the room remains closed for the moment.
Warily watching the sewer pipes for anymore goblins Shiv takes a few moments to spit out more than his usual black chew. Seeing Galyna giving him a disgusted look, he manages a sickly grin at her, "Come here lass so I kin give ya a big smootch." Satisfied that no more goblins are coming he climbs to the top of the nearest pipe and continues up the wall.
Galyna opens the door slowly.
The door opens easily at Galyna's touch, and she leans into the doorway to take a look around. The floor of the next room has fallen away, leaving a narrow, charred ledge along the south and east walls. To the northwest, a second ledge heaped with crates and barrels sits, while above the rafters of the attic lay bare to view. The nearby ledge looks solid enough, but is sloped dangerously; a missed step is likely to dump the careless transgressor into yet more sewage in the pit below. Another door exits the room on the north wall.
Perception
Suddenly, from behind the barrels on the far side of the room, four more of the stench-ridden green-skinned goblins pop up. They have Medium-sized crossbows braced on the top of the barrels, and fire a hail of bolts at Galyna before dropping behind the barrels once more.
Two of the bolts graze the elf, but her armor is more than tough enough to deflect the other two.
Init.
Initative
Salt is embarrassed that he was so useless in the fight, so uses one of the goblins as a stepping stone to return to the bridge. He then hears the sound of twanging crossbow bolts, and charges into the room next door.
Initiative
When she realizes that Galyna's under fire, Ellantera looks at the bottleneck of the doorway and at her brother's perch. She will spend the round strapping her shield to her back and sheathing her sword so that her hands are free for a climb.
Kassandra remains behind while the others repair the bridge and open the door. At the first sound of crossbow fire, she feels frustration for not being able to participate in these bottleneck style fights, but does not advance yet.
Galyna can still vaguely see the shapes of the goblins moving behind the barrels, but can't really tell what's happening back there.
Knowing that running into an unknown situation, possibly surrounded by enemies isn't one of her strong suits, Uraisa delays to see what the rest of her team decides to do.
Oscar enters the room as soon as he can...then with a reluctant grimace waits for the proper time to enter the room.
"From the size of these bolts, and the sound of the release, I would guess those are heavy crossbows". "We should have time to rush them, as they're reloading... well if all of them have shot already... He then plunges headfirst into the toxic water, and begins swimming underwater towards their ambush point.
Quickly realizing that WE are just fish in a barrel entering this room the rogue throws caution to the wind.
Trying to scamper quickly and quietly down the rafter the rogue realizes that the beams creaking and dust falling are doing him no favors. Seeing the goblins beady little eyes track his movement he simply steps off the rafter and lands lightly on both barrel and crossbow underneath him, "Now we'll have no more o' that ya lil curs. Git yer arses over here ya daft laggards!"
Weighed down by her armor and having trouble finding a good place to start her ascent, El finishes her action about half way up the wall. Shiv drops down into the muck right in front of the goblins' defenses, rapier at the ready.
Galyna waits for the goblins to pop up again before she takes a shot at one of the goblins, then taking a step in and to the side of the room to clear the doorway and reload.
Confirmation
Kassandra moves into the next room but positions herself far from the goblins for the moment.
Galyna takes a few steps into the room and lines up a shot, while Kassandra slips in and turns the other way, trying to put distance between herself and the goblin archers.
If possible miet will move into the room and colour spray the goblins. If she dosent have enough movement or cant do it without hitting a team mate she will just take cover instead.
Uraisa will wait at the entrance to the room and see what happens in the next round and stay at G8 until she sees how things shake out.
Swim
Erwin won't be able to cross the bridge without help and does not want to stain his clothing wading in the muck. He'll just climb the ladder and try to see what's happening.
The four goblins pop back up, their crossbows at the ready. On the instant, Galyna looses her own bolt, taking one of them through the head - the body falls back, the readied bolt shooting up into the crumbling rafters above. The other three take their shots, however - one at Galyna, one at Shiv and the last at Oscar.
The bolt loosed at Shiv doesn't make past the barrel, and Oscar's shield easily deflects the shot aimed at him, but Galyna takes the bolt through a crease in her armor, driving her back against the doorframe in a splash of blood. The goblins cackle gleefully as they dive behind the barrels once more.
