The two goblins nearest Warren drop their crossbows and pull blades to attack him with.
The remaining goblins reload their crossbows, firing at random.
The bolts shatter on the walls and floor near Irina while Markov takes two hits. A lucky aim catches Alma in the shoulder.
Alma runs forward and slams against the table, pushing the goblin behind it back, and opening a gap between the makeshift barricade. His sword still glowing with Warren's light spell reveals the rest of the room and more goblins.
Stepping quickly to his left to avoid being flanked, Warren stabs at the goblin now in front of him.

Trying to stay behind the cover of the door Irina's aim is off, but the explosion still catches one of the goblins in the fiery blast.
The goblin drops its crossbow, shouting, and runs to the darkest corner of the room, seeking to evade further danger.
Markov takes a step back into the hallway and pulls out his crossbow.

Alma slices an ear off of each of the goblins and searches them. Handing the ears to Irina.
Warren cuts the remaining goblin down.
With the battle over the group is able to get a better look over the room. It is much like the rest of the passages and rooms, litter strewn on the floor, though this room seems to have more of it. Old bones tossed into a corner and crude cups strewn on the floor near the overturned tables. A single door on the east wall is closed.
Alma searches the room for anything of note.
Talking a moment to call upon Imodae for more healing
He then makes his way to the closed door, and peaks open.
Alma finds nothing of interest as he moves about the room looking for valuables.
Opening the door reveals a large kitchen area. A table near the door has several small cages on it filled with rats. A bloodied knife sits on the table near the cages.
There is a refuse pile in the northeast corner. Adjacent to it is a well, the faint sounds of moving water can be heard coming from it. Mineral deposits stain the edge of it.
In the southeast corner is a large stone oven. Heat radiates from it and a large cooking pot sits on top of it, steam rising from it. The smell of stew of some kind reaching your nostrils.

Warren searches the rooms seeking to find anything Alma overlooked.
The cooking pot is filled with rats and water, boiling lightly on the stone oven, bits of hair floating at the top.
The refuse pile likewise contains nothing of interest.
Following the passages back to the entrance then heading south the corridor turns east, running that direction for 70' before another opening is seen brancing off to the south.
Alma leads his companions down the hallway. Taking a moment to look down the hallways branching off to the south. He continues going east.
The southern passage runs for 25' feet then can be seen to open up into a room beyond. The faint echo of the parties footsteps return back from the room as Alma continues east.
Farther a head a door can be soon on the north wall.
Alma moves to the door and peeks inside.
It is strange that we have seen no other goblins. Surely there are others looking for us...
The elf continually strains for the sound of running footsteps, and checks behind him every few moments.
Reaching the door, the light coming from Alma's blade reveals the passage to the east has collapsed. Rubble is strewn at the end of the corridor.
On the wall opposite the doorway the stone is blackened in a number of places and the lower several feet of the wall is discolored and stained.
Irina puts a hand on Alma's arm, stopping him. She holds a finger to her lips and tilts her head, listening.
Alma follows Irina's queue halting. Waiting for her instructions before moving.
"A man...crying," she whispers.
A man crying in the middle of goblin infested mines. Something didn't seem right. But if this was the paladin they were seeking, then it was working looking into it. Though the chances of it being a trap seem far more likely.
In a hushed voice, "I guess the next step is to spring the trap."
Alma walks carefully, trying to see anything that is out of place as he goes down the corridor with the whimpering man.
