I presume that now there is light? If so, let me know. I'd like to act. If I cannot see the Hobgoblins, let me know, I will try something else.
Still holding action for light confirmation...
Yes there is now light from Germon's bullseye lantern. They still have 20% concealment because his lantern doesnt go 360 and is more of a flashlight. You will definitely be able to attack one of them though if you wish.
Well, I guess I will take a shot...
Damage IF hit...
I pull out a weapon from under my coat, level it, and fire; aiming for the nearest of these foul creatures that I can see.
The explosion in tight quarters and in stone tunnels is near deafening... I take a five foot step to get back behind the wall for full cover and start to reload as fast as possible. This is now a Move Action for me with rapid reload, so I should be ready to go soon.
Concealment if under 20 attack misses
Your shot hits the one that Barrett attacked and he goes down in a heap, dead. You hit him in the face and blow part of his lower jaw and throat away.
Concealment if under 20 attack misses 1d100
Your shot hits the one that Barrett attacked and he goes down in a heap, dead. You hit him in the face and blow part of his lower jaw and throat away.
Hmm... bad job explaining there. Yes, I am taking the five foot step, but I am re-loading on next round. As I understand it, once the weapon is loaded you can take a five foot step and fire.. though I may have to wait another round (that is, I may have to skip round 2) as part of that time is spent reloading...
My plan is; load and fire, with the 5 foot step for cover. Can I have the weapon reloaded for next round to do that, or will I have to wait to do this once every OTHER round... sorry, just a little confused is all.
If that plan WON'T work, I will reload around the corner, without the five-foot step, and continue to load and fire with using the corner of the wall as partial cover, as I did last round.

Basically the way it will work is you cant load fire and move in the same round. You can do two of the three but not all three. So if you want to reload and fire in one round you cant move at all your whole action is taken up by loading and firing. You can load and move up to your speed thats fine but not load move and fire. I hope that makes more sense.

Indeed! Then I shall move the five foot step for full cover.
Next round reload, and I'll keep my eyes open to see if we're not getting moved on from the tunnel with the tracks.
Nex round (round 3?) I shall use my fully loaded weapon, take the five foot step forward, examine the terrain, then fire again. Presuming any of them are still alive...

"Seen better... why, you laying down a bit of healing?"I ask with a bit of a grin. The blood is forming near my hand where the arrow had entered me. It looks bad, healing would be good...

Both of your attacks miss and you are starting to get angry. This Hobgoblin is not a worthy foe. Surely you will drop him soon.
I had placed my post up earlier, specifically at 8:28 AM.
To recap: I am looking for healing from those who offered it (out of characer I mentioned I was hit for 5 points).
Round 2 I am reloading my weapon so that round 3 I can fire.
But you asked for a new Initiative roll, which I made (for an 11).
If it is now round three, and I have been healed for three points, I am not clear where my new Initiative lays me. If it gives me the chance to turn and fire, I shall. If not, I shall wait to next round. Just let me know... the redone Initiative has got me a bit lost :)
Just let me know when I can shoot the little sods!

You can shoot but know that all of the hobs left are in melee of one form or another and your friends are providing cover. So since you dont have precise shot you are suffering a net -8 to your attack to shoot at them. You can move a little bit and shoot if you like and negate the cover but you will still be suffering the penalty for shooting into melee of -4.

Apologies, I didn't know they were beyond the first range increment... in which case I will naturally use a Grit point! Begging the question: does that hit? And the next question (if the first is yes) does it put the nasty down? I didn't declare who I was aiming at, but it would have been one that was already wounded. Just let me know what happens....
With what looks to be an amazing shot, Lance sends a bullet wizzing by Germon's head, nicking his hair, before it explodes through the chest of the hobgoblin you are fighting. There are only two left now!
AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH! is all you here before you see Cael barrelling through the melee and attacking a hobgoblin that looks more capable of giving him a challenge before heaving the massive warhammer down aiming for the top of its head.
Cael bellows a war cry and charges into the fray. Swinging his massive hammer down he obliterates the hobgoblins head and leaves a huge hammer wear his head should be.
Well, in that case, I'll swing about the corner and then reload again.
Logarth is both angry and frustrated that an unworthy foe such as this seems to know his every move. Logarth closes his eyes in the fray of combat and seeks inner peace, which he finds. Quickly opening his eyes with renewed vigor Logarth attacks the last remaining hobgoblin.

As the last hobgoblin is finished off Logarth hangs his head in shame. It was because I let my fury and anger get out of control, and when that happened my technique became sloppy.
Germon puts a hand on Logarth's shoulders.
"I should not have moved on ahead without the rest of you. I believe I am part of your frustration friend." Germon steps in front of Logarth. "I apologize. For now, we should look for the children Lance mentioned." Germon extends his lantern to examine the room.
Perception:
"I should not have moved on ahead without the rest of you. I believe I am part of your frustration friend. I apologize. For now, we should look for the children Lance mentioned."
"Wait, what? What is this about missing children? I'd very much like to be filled in on this."
Holding his medallion high, he will examine everyone visually.
"Before going further, everyone gather close. Brith can ease your pains."
Channel IF everyone gathers.
Edit:
For a moment Cael looks winded but regains composure quickly. Upon hearing about the missing children he will say It makes since now but Germon and Lance you need to slow down. You are likely to get yourselves and the children killed. More importantly you might deprive my tribe of their future leader. Slow down or I'll have to give ye a wallop too as he shakes his hammer.
Bah! Womanly folk, all of them. There's only one reason to be in this piss-poor hole in the ground, and not out there looking for a safe berth back to my homeland. And why? Because they came running to me telling me that children were missing and they needed help. Well, if the other knew nothing of the objective then that a fool's errand for them to wander in an old mineshaft in the rain. But for myself? I'm here, and there's much to do... like getting home and off this gods's foresaken rock!
I look grimly down to where they are all gathered around by the hobgoblins and wait a moment; but it occurs to me... After the screams and slaughter, being in these caves, it is likely the noise would have carried. If the children heard it, and are alive and un-gaurded they may even now be calling for help. Therefore, I shall listen for their calls.
Perception Check to hear the children
My next actions will depend on above results.
