Ali levels his Crossbow at the Goblin still on his feet, before smiling bitterly and firing.
Not evil
Two missed shots, but still the warrior goblin fights on. Covered in blood, it looks like it will continue to strike Helgarr until its dying breath. Again it slashes across Helgarr's body.
When it's Cleo's turn she'll try to aid another for Helgarr on her attack roll. Pulling her dagger, Cleo moves to the left of the goblin trying to draw his focus with a quick stab to his side.
that will give Helgarr +4 to her attack, if it lives to the beginning of the initiative round that is.
Furnok hacks
Although Maria's shot gets blocked by the ever-crumbling heavy shield of the goblin, it gives Furnok just enough time to land a perfect slash. Almost effortlessly, Furnok severs the goblin's head from its body, letting it roll around on the floor.

We need to see if there are any survivors! Furnok stands guard.
Helgarr stands up, bloodied and battered, but with a smile on her lips. She turns to her halfling companion - "You are truly a conduit of the divine" - she nods - "You have saved my life Cleo, and this I will not forget"
We need to see if there are any survivors! Furnok stands guard.
"You are right" - the barbarian responds, trying to catch her breath, then starting to cautiously move around, looking for any that may be alive.
The only goblin still alive is the falchion wielding warpriest. It breathes heavily, still unconscious from the fight.
As long as Erastil wills it" smiles back, as soon as the goblin is tied up, she'll expand a channel (leaving her with 4 left) so if anyone is wounded they get ugh, well two channels I guess, so 5 points total healed and 3 channels left

Two missed shots, but still the warrior goblin fights on. Covered in blood, it looks like it will continue to strike Helgarr until its dying breath. Again it slashes across Helgarr's body.
As Helgarr peers around the room for more survivors, she spots a glimmer out of the corner of her eye. Gleaming in the sunlight, it appears that the corpse completely imprisoned in solid glass is wearing a signet ring.
Then Cleo sends out two waves of healing in the surrounding area, healing everyone it touches. The bound goblin heals up ever so slightly and opens it's eyes. Upon closer inspection, anyone familiar with goblins can tell that it is female, with long red ears that flare up like a kobold. After she gets a sense of her whereabouts, she spits in disgust. Those who understand Goblin hear "Worms! You should have killed me!"

Maria glares into the goblins eyes. Don't worry we will if you don't tell us what we want to know but I'll make it hurt, I'll make you scream, I'll make you plead to your gods that your entire damn race had never crawled from whatever slimy pit you come from. So be a good girl and tell us what we want to know.

"I agree" - Helgarr retorts calmly in the goblin's own language, though punctuated by a strong accent - "But we still need you before you are put down" - she finishes by gagging him - "Until we address you, I don't want to hear your voice, lest I feel an urge to rip your head from its shoulders"
Turning to the others she adds - "We need someone to be watching this one at all times - we're not about to repeat the same mistakes from past days" - the barbarian remembers the fleeing goblin from the previous day.
"There" - Helgarr follows up, pointing to the wretch encased in glass - "Do any of you recognize him or her? I see a signet ring in the dead hand"
Cleo doesn't relish the idea of poking around dead bodies and will watch the goblin.
Furnok guards the adorable Cleo.
The goblin shrieks and wrestles as Helgarr gags her.
As Vandra detects magic around the armor, he gets a sickening feeling. The aura around the armor is shrouded in Necromancy, and Vandra identifies the armor as being cursed. All animals that are within 10 feet of this armor refuse to approach, due to its unnatural presence.
Ali walked up to the encased person and held his breath, staring down at the ring.
Ali recognizes this signet ring as the house of Kaijitsu
Alis head hangs in sadness for a moment, as he slumps to his knees, his forehead pressed against the glass. "It is the Kaijitsu symbol, either Ameiko or her father or brother I... I can't tell who." The words come out flat and hollow as he turns, resting his back up against the statue.
"We should take this with us. Azeri and Helgarr or Furnok should be able to carry it between them."
Vandra immediately dropped the armor before taking a few steps away. "Nobody wear that armor, it's got a curse on it," he told his companions. "I'm not sure how bad it is, but we should take it to either the priest or destroy it. Anybody find anything else?"
"Very well" - Helgarr nods - "Let us make sure we keep our distance from it. Thank you Vandra"

"We should take this with us. Azeri and Helgarr or Furnok should be able to carry it between them."
"Why not break it Ali - it is but glass, is it not?"
Ali shakes his head at Helgarrs suggestion before turning to look at the warrior. "With how glass is made, the high temperature and such, I would not want to take the chance that the glass had fused to the persons skin. Yes they are... dead... But I don't want to desecrate their body further!" He glanced up at the body again before calling out to Cleo.
"Cleo, could you give this person a once over, just with your eyes. You are a healer after all, I am just a useless child with a pretend bear..."
Hmm..I don't know about glass really but wouldn't that shatter the body?
A useless child... with handsome face and magical powers, and pretend bear with an amazing laugh and massive cla-- Cleo's reassurances are cut short when she sees the glass and what's in it. She has a mini freakout session in her head. To you all it looks most like a wide eyed "near pee your pants and vomit at the same time" look on her face. The now pale faced halfling will do as Ali asks and try and determine anything she can
Cleo can determine quite a few things about the body that is encased in glass:
- The charred corpse has tons of tension in both its muscles and expression. It was alive when the liquid glass was poured over it.
- It is undeniably 100% human, and of Tian descent
- It is male and the person was fairly old
it's not Ameiko... Her father... I think it is her father... probably... Cleo babbles out in spurts, feeling guilt that she feels so relieved, but knowing it is still someone dead, someone mean and hateful but still someone who didn't deserve this.
She'll pat Ali's hand, then goes back to guard duty.
"She may still even be here" - Helgarr ponders - "We need to search this place thoroughly now!" - the barbarian urges her companions.
