Irina delays, gesturing to the goblins near her that are in reach of the meleers. "A little help?"
Once the warriors have gone, Irina will act.
Alma being slightly distracted with the goblins coming in behind swings wildly.
Shaking his head in annoyance, the half-elf spends a moment in prayer, then swings again at the goblin he last hit--This time with divine energy guiding his strike.

The sleeping hound awakens, getting back to its feet.
The remaining hound and goblins in the room continue attacking Alma and Warren.
The stuck goblin, yelling in pain hacks at Irina, its blade cutting into her, then promptly falls to the ground unconscious.
The others press forward, gleefully shouting.
Markov takes a vicious cut and Irina receives a slash to her arm.
As the goblins start piling up in the back several switch to bows. One goblin in particular has blackened skin and is missing its hair. It wields no weapon that you can see, but several pouches hang at its waist. Blackened soot and ash clinging to the bags.

And Markov is grazed by an arrow. Both bowman fall to the ground though, their wounds and exertion overcoming them.

Then, stepping forward he speaks to his allies.
"Irina, Markov, take out the rest of them behind us. Alma and I will hold the line until you do."
With his catlike reflexes. Alma quickly steps to the side to avoid the full brunt of the bomb. He 5 foot steps to O19.
Shrieks of pain are heard over the sound of the explosions. Two more goblins fall to the ground, whisps of smoke coming off their scorched clothing. The alchemist also falls to the ground unconscious.
Warren cuts down the goblin to the east of him and Alma finishes off the goblin dog.
Seeing Markov and Irina retreating the goblins advance.
Markov takes another slash, blood dripping from several wounds.
Another volley of arrows is launched to no effect.

"Markov! Back up!" Irina shouts, motioning for Markov to mirror her maneuver.

CLW:
Having blocked the enemy in the corridor, Warren feels more confident and slashes again at the closest creature. They will not defeat us now. Not unless they have a troll we don't know about...
Attack:
Damage:
Another flash of light engulfs the lead goblins and Warren.
Warren's attack finishes one of them off. The other withdraw's, fleeing in terror, heading south after passing through the double doors.
Reflex:
The half-elf curses as the goblin flees. "We won't catch him now. Better be prepared for a lot more of them; I suggest we keep moving."
Irina, hand still extended from trying to snatch the bomb back, rushes over to check Warren's burns.
"Warren! I'm so sorry. I didn't see you, you came out of nowhere! I can soothe the burns if you like."
"I'm sure a few burns won"t kill him. I think we should look around a little maybe we can find something of use."
The slap of fleeing feet fades from the open doorway.
The room you are standing in is littered with garbage. Likely once a small throne room but long since abandoned for that purpose. The glint of coins sparkles from the light emanating from Alma's blade, scattered across the room when the goblins jumped up from their game. Several dented tin cups were also scattered with the coins.
The columns of stone once held veins of gold or silver, but these have been stripped out.
Alma searches each of the dead for anything of note. Remembering the deal of 5gp per goblin ear, he quickly removes a single ear off of each of the goblins and hands them to Irina. He picks up what ever gold he finds and hands it to Warren to divvy out.
After searching the room he sets out to leave and continue north.
With Alma leading the group heads up the northern passage. A narrow corridor leads to the east, disappearing into the darkness. A single open door can be seen on the south wall in the dim light.
Readying his sword, Alma moves up to the door and peaks in while trying to hear if any noises can be heard.
Irina drinks her cure light infusion while the coins are collected.
Cure light:
She smiles as her hurts are soothed away by the tonic.
Listening carefully the dripping of water can be heard from somewhere farther down the passage. More open doorways can be seen as Alma moves forward to peek around the first open door. Beyond is a small room, the floor littered with dirty straw and a filthy blanket.
Alma continues down the passage, peering into more open doors to find rooms similar to the first. Dirty blankets and straw and other pieces of refuse.
The last room smells of smoke and ash, the straw blackened and the blanket wadded up in the corner singed.
The eastern passage continues into the darkness, a closed door on the south wall.
Alma checks the room, in the event that is anything of interest. Once done with that, we continue to the next door to peak open.
Markov searches the rooms for anything of value
Perception room 1:
Burned room:
With nothing of interest found in the 3rd room, Alma moves to the 4th door, and repeats the process slowly opening the door with his sword ready to strike if needed.
Alma hastily searches the room and heads back out into the hall. Markov taking a bit more care notices to vials of liquid wrapped up in the filthy blanket.
The next room contains a crude wooden table in the southeast corner. A simple alchemical lab is laid on the table. The table itself is marred with burn marks from one end to the other.
The passage continues further east into the darkness.
Markov tries to identifies the liquid inside the vials.
vial 1:
Vial 2:
"Looks like mixing chemicals can be dangerous. Irina ... Markov, you guys need some time to make some more of your potions? I can stand guard outside."
When there is no respone, Alma continues down the passage and will stop to peak open any doors along the way.
The passage continues another 50' before turning south. Twenty five feet south is another door. Alma moves up to it and cracks it open. A larger room lies beyond with several overturned tables.
As he pushes the door open for a better look more than half a dozen goblins rise up from behind the tables with loaded crossbows. The bolts fly toward him ricocheting off the walls and door.
Alma is struck by three of the bolts.
Alma calls upon Imodae
He then springs into the fracas at one of the goblins
