Sunset reloads her x-bow and again aims for a target.
"Keep th' lil' chompers away from th' spell slingers!" She calls between her songs stanzas.
Gloisil moves towards the front of the party directly in front of the lead largish sized rat and fires his crossbow again.
"I have a plan, everyone stay to the side or behind me!, Gloisil says as his bolt goes flying off down the hallway missing the intended target.
He then with his right hand reaches into a pouch on his belt and pulls out a handful of colorful sand.
Bob places another arrow into his bow, says a short prayer to Silvanus for help and let's fire. He says to himself: There are just those kind of days.He then loads another arrow for the 2nd round & looks for a particularly nasty looking rat.
Hearing Gloisil, Elsdyn moves to place himself beside Gloisil and readies the rest of his action to try and ensure should what Gloisil intends fail to stop the hoard, he can move to protect the others that they may regroup.
"Ready am I for thy plan, Gloisil."
Initiative:

"I have a plan, everyone stay to the side or behind me!, Gloisil says as his bolt goes flying off down the hallway missing the intended target. He then with his right hand reaches into a pouch on his belt and pulls out a handful of colorful sand.
Hefting her x-bow, Sunset calls between lines as she moves to take a position behind the Gnome, though still trying to act as cover for Desidera.
"I got's yer back Gliosil! I head a Gobby some where's. Any one see th' lil' toerag?" She asks, looking around and up.
<preround attacks are only for readied range attacks>
When the singing and firing and chanting suddenly breaks out, Desidera is caught off-guard by the sudden motion, despite everyone being on edge. The best she could do is heft her quarterstaff, too distracted by the chaos to act effectively. "'Least it's not bugs..", she muttered.
ok; Mogue fires and kills another rat
rats charge in; sheesh ;bad day to be a rat; only Gloisel takes a 1hp hit; please make a fort save dc11
ok; rats are all in melee range now; end round 1.
There is a big hammering sound that near deafens your ears.
BAM BAM BAM BAM from down underneath; and the start of a grinding sound somewhere through the walls in front of you that shakes the floor.
__________
round two; pcs up first
Any complex action, like spellcasting, this round will require a concentration roll due to the extreme noise and vibration. Moving through this trash at any non cautious speed will require a balance roll.
you clearly see the rats; and the chains shake; but naught else.

"Wound me will you, you nasty creature.", Gloisil says as he winces a bit with the pain of the bite from the rat.
Gloisil then steps back five feet and tries to maintain his concentration through all the banging and shaking as he begins to cast a spell.
With a flourish of his hand holding the colored sand, Gloisil casts the sand in the air in front of him, while speaking the words of a spell. As he does so and then points with his hand at the rat in front of him, he invokes the name of the spell, "chwistrellu lliw". A vivid cone of clashing colors then spreads out towards the rats before him, covering an area fifteen feet away.
Gloisil will then reload his crossbow.
Sunset draws a bead on another rat.
Sunset still looks into the darkness for the Goblin that she heard at the start of the kerfuffle.

Ok; as the chains move and grind; screams and hoots join in.
ATTACK OF THE GOBLIN COMMANDOES!
on group of goblins can be seen on the far side of the room on chains moving upwards; and close by can be seen a group of goblins standing in, on and clutching the chains coming out of the celing moving downwards.
The goblins eager for blood and torture; leap in a frenzy to enter the fray.
Ack! bad day for some goblins; from the far group; 5 jump to late; jump to soon; get caught in the chains and kill or disable themselves.
From the near group; goblins jump commando style into combat with the PC's; yikes; 5 more fail to jump correctly and you sees some torn apart by the chains; jump and break their legs and back, land on their heads; the sounds of their dying mixing in with the laughter and joy of death and slaughter from their companions.
In the distance you can hear the second group getting it bearings and moving in.
in the near group; 6 survive and move to attack; on init 11.
Miss Elsdyn; hit elsdyne; 3 pts
miss Astinos; miss astinos.
miss Mogue.
miss Sunset.
As the Goblins scream, hoot and holler over the sounds of gnashing and crashing metal Sunset shifts her aim to the nearest capering foe.
She coughs a little in the dust raised by the garbage rustling vermin and the grit dislodged by the movement of the chains in their courses.
Ok; got it; will happen on init 17; you kill your gobby right out with no wasted effort ,meaning he is at zero

remind me please on how long this will knock out the rats; am sure a centipede or two will get one; but in fairness should track the rounds.

2 or less HD: Unconscious, blind and stunned for 6 rounds, blind and stunned for an additional 4 rounds, and then just stunned for one more round.
3-4 HD: Blind and stunned for an additional 4 rounds, and then just stunned for one more round.
5 or more: Stunned for one round.
Gloisil gets an excited look on his face as the rats go down due to his spell, but then as the goblins appear it is replaced with his normal grim determination.
"Now the goblins show themselves, it's time to look sharp my friends."
Gloisil raises his crossbow and fires at one of the oncoming goblins, steps back, and reloads again.
Bob fires another arrow at a goblin this time, hoping his aim has improved. Damage:
Bob is so happy to be out of his slump, that he starts singing "Gobbies came back, And there's no lack, Come on you lizards, we'll nail you in the gizzards." Then the refrain, "We're gonna kill some gobbies, we're gonna kill some gobbies."
these normal gobbies are ac 13; the leader type is ac 15 and a little bit bigger than the rest; is hanging back making sure his troops attack.
Well, that gets his attention; made spot roll!
With everyone being engaged, or engaging, Desidera is left by herself in a relative island of peace, taking in the situation. Since none of her friends are calling out for help, she draws her sling, loading it and setting it to spinning above her head. That leader of those goblins was looking a little too confident for her liking.
Galen attacks another gobbo
"Oh, th' Gobbies be comin' back! Huzzah!"
"Why, there seems t' be no lack! Hurray!"
"An th' Gobbies be goin' splat! Huzzah!"
"An' there it be t' that! Hurrray!"
Then the refrain,
"We's gon'ta kill some gobbies, we's gon'ta kill some gobbies!"
(^_^)
Galen cleanly cuts through a goblin while Sunset gravely injures one
Gloisil once again takes aim at one of the goblins and then fires his crossbow. After firing he reloads it once again.
Gloisil hits one of the goblins a glancing blow with a bolt from his crossbow. A slight smile creases one corner of Gloisil's mouth as Bob and Sunset begin singing.
Elsdyn moves to protect his smaller charges, striking at the nearest goblin.
"Tho has quite the gift in the mystic arts Gloisil and I can feel Sunshine's music swell my soul. I shall not make waste of thine fine efforts."
Attacks nearest Goblin;
Ok; If I can avoid the postmonster and actually get my post not eaten; here goes again.
Like a surge of garbage, the second Goblin Commando group joins the first and move at the pc's like a wave. Four goblins of the second group of 10 jump Bob and Sunset's wounded Goblins with "Bloddy 'eLL" results" killing those two wounded; hehe CE alignments; whew;
The giant centipedes; stirred up by all the motion and combat; surge forth attacking everyone; two stunned/sleeping rats get dragged off by slithering centipedes twice their size; two gobins get attacked; Gloisel's wounded one takes another point of damage and Desidera's goblin takes 1 point of damage and gets poisoned <yet to take effect>,
Mogue shoots a goblin point blank; must have hit every artery the goblin had for some way over the top overkill and a spray and fountain of hot pink blood everywhere. Another gobin stabs at Mogue with a short sword doing 3pts damage.
Galen kill a goblin with a spectacular cut that sprays a foutain of blood up into the chains and Elsdyn kill a goblin with a quick thrust, but the Squire and Pally are still facing three goblins each and are trying to hold the line and not get flanked; but there are to many gobins <atm>; Galen takes 3 pts from a short sword; Elsdyn takes 1pt from a dagger; 2pts from a short sword.
Desidera's goblin decides to attack the centipede; killing it; then looking at her with a wicked gleam that begins to fade as his face turns slack...
Gloisel gets stabbed in the shoulder by a dirty, wicked looking dagger for 2 points and the dagger is left sticking out of his shoulder.
Bob gets a breather as his rats were the prime recipiants of the colorspray and the two goblins coming his way attacked other goblins.
The two sergeant type commandos try to get thier boyz directed; only to end up mostly yelling at each other and laying about with their whips and shaking their swords. <next round you will find out if their successful>
Rats attack randomly; biting one gobin; killing one centipede; and biting Desidera for 1 pt; please make a fort save.
Think that is the end of the round;
next round; go!
Gloisil groans in pain as he is struck by the dagger, stepping backwards as he says, "I think I'm beginning to realize I'm not cut out to be on the front lines." He then fires at the goblin who hit him with the dagger.
"Okeys, goin' t' make things a tad easier fer th' lil' buggers."
She whispers as she puts a bolt into one of the shouting Goblins.
And at least gets one of the little vermin's' attention.
"At's right, ye lil' puddle sucker! I got a bolt here wi' your name on it an' I in't gonna stop shootin' till I find's it!"
Sunset yells defiantly.
Bob decides the chief orc (if he is still standing, else some random goblin), needs some attention. He fires. Damage.
Then he continues the song.
Them Gobbies ain't so bright.
We will kill them on sight.
They do not cause us fear.
We kill them with a sneer.
We're gonna kill some gobbies,
We're gonna kill some gobbies.
;)
At Bob's proud carrying of the tune, Sunset coughs and rasps out,
"Aye, an' while t'has been grand, I do think me Bard's voice has near about run its course mates." V_V "Sorry an' all fer that. M'by I should'a been a mite more careful with how I played it, hey? Still, lets have at 'em an' make 'em regret ever crawlin' int'a this here Dwarf hole wi' US! HUZZA!" She cries.
The gobbies laugh and snicker <no chiefs here by the way; only minor leader types; little better gear; and another hit die> and chant back in broken speach.
"man meat, elf meat
so sweet; good to eat
broken halfling BBQ
we gits him, we gits you"
<individuals start shouting out at random>
"stick em
swat em
poke em
cut em
chew their flesh and grind their bones
crack em
burn em
flay em
whip em
suck their eyes and boil their heads"
The two knights and the ranger go then my boys lay some waste; hehe or be the waste hehe
"Foul creatures, thy cacophony doth insult the wonderous voice of the young lady, this I will not tolerate." says Elsdyn as he lays into the nearest goblin with renewed vigor.
you cut one down trying to circle/flank you to get to Bob.
Thank you muchly Elsdyn. Bob
Galen attacks another gobbo
not till me gobbies attack; most of you guys beat there inits.
ok; the second group of gobbie commandoes, one coming from the floor chains going up and one comming from the floor chains going down, well; the second group rushes to joing the first; the rushing starting last round; this round they back stab a few gobbies on their way in and started last round and the two sergeants loose total command and start laying about with their whips and flat of their blades trying to get some semblance of militant direction reinstilled, but it is not enough to overcome the intertribal animosity. The two sergants get to hitting each other as they were each hitting the others troops and it becomes a total donny brook.
so gobbies attack gobbies
various gobbies attack the party
rats attack everyone
giant centipedes carry off some more stunned rats and attack anyone who steps on them.
The hammering of the great dwarven engines stop and the sudden quiet and sudden calm takes place for a microsecond; only to be filled with the screaming voices of battle.
new spot rolls for anyone to catch details and make sense of this; on the whole there are nearly 30 goblins in here; of which 12 are dead; 3 rats still fighting; unknown numbers of giant centipedes; 6 that have been seen <they are like cheap land mines; as long as you dont step on them they pretty much just lurk until they sense food> and somewhere out there the gobbie shaman.
Desidera; your goblin turns blue and falls over; poison.
Bob and Sunset; your free of combatants
Elsdyn, Galen, Mogue all in the thick of it engaging several goblins.
Gloisil haveing stepped up for the spell; steps back but his dead goblin is replaced by another. <if you step back again and he closes; Galen will get an attack of opp on him>
so:
Mogue avoids two attacks but takes 2pts from a slash from a goblin.
Galen takes 3 pts from a slash on his flank as several other attacks miss.
Elsdyn takes two points from a club as a couple other attacks batter his sheild.
