1 damage to Oren

Eli moves into the room and Swings his Scimitar at the Goblin on the right hoping to allow his companions to focus on the other 2

Scimitar: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Tallvar moves up onto the walkway and gets in behind Eli, hoping to provide some help, or at least cover for any attacks from other directions.

Double move

Eli misses his mark, and the goblin squeals at the appearance of the white-robed man. He looks quite pleased to find what he feels to be a softer enemy.

No office Eli, just...the robes...

The archer goblin, seeing the room now completely cramped, drops his bow. He laughs maniacally as he takes the only attack he can think of, and lunges forward to try and yank down Madir's pants.

Dirty trick CMB: 1d20 ⇒ 20

I can't believe that worked. Madir is not entangled! And, note that you are not flanked...forgot that this tricky goblin doesn't threaten.

Lacking the room to use his blasts, Oren swings at the goblin between himself and Madir.

Standard Action:

Heavy Pick attack w/ flanking: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
Piercing damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Oren slams his pick home, and the goblin falls under the powerful attack, bleeding out and dying.

Without as much as an acknowledgment to his embarrassing situation, Madir swipes at his goblin foe.

Madir Attack: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 3 - 2 = 11
Damage: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 1) + 3 = 7

Sorry Madir, above should be that Madir is now entangled, instead of not entangled. But you figured that anyway;)

Madir, you can take an AOO on the goblin. He doesn't have improved dirty trick.

With a grown, Gruhx climbs up onto the landing, trying to squeeze into the small space.

Rope in hand, he hunches over to look into the room. "Yas do gud in 'dere?"

So...does the walkway hold? Or does it collapse under Gruhx?

In a desperate attempt to help his companions, the massive man twirls the rope around and sends it across the room towards the goblin in the far corner.
(Marked it in red)

Improvised Whip: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Damage?: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

It holds. You get the feeling that if you jump up and down on it, you'd make a Trox sized hole pretty quickly.

Madir'll take that AOO.

Madir Attack: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 3 - 2 = 20
Damage: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 4) + 3 = 9

As the goblin tugs on Madir's trousers, the much taller Fetchling swats down with his blade, managing to cut the majority of the little creature's head clean off. It falls back with a wet smack as its brains spill out.

With only one goblin remaining, and that one well and truly surrounded, he throws down his blade and puts his hands up over his head.

Gruhx, you can revise your action if you like; Madir's AOO would have gone before your action and taken your target out.

No worries. Forgot the penalties for squeezing anyway so attack roll would have been less

Clamping his eyes closed and covering his ears, Gruhx shrieks "CAREFUL!!! BEASTY CASTS SPELL!"

no attack

Oren keeps the pick ready, though he lowers it somewhat. Should have had Shale teach me some goblin. Burnin' things are hard to understand at the best of times.

"Hey," he says to the goblin, trying to get his attention. "Do you speak common?"

If the creature doesn't, then Oren will pull out some rope and tie the creature up to the best of his ability.

The goblin jabbers on nonsensically...even to those who speak goblin. He seems traumatized by the combat now, of course, but also from something else...he was scared even when you got here. He allows himself to be tied up with no complaints.

Elsewhere within the village, you hear more goblin shrieks and warcries...quite a few of them.

I feel it's important to note that by the time the gang is ready to move further, Madir will have fixed his entagled situation. :P

Madir moves out of the building through the north door and has Black scout the vicinity one more time, telling him to return immediately if he sees goblins, to ascertain where exactly they could be.

Finishing with the goblin, Oren turns to follow Madir. "What is going on around here? Did someone attack before us? Keep your eyes and ears sharp."

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Slowly lowering his hands and opening his eyes, Gruhx smiles. "Ok na-ow, yes?"

Hopping down from the platform, he stows the ladder and wanders along next to it. "You know where are?"

Black returns and conveys some ill news. There are two more groups of goblins approaching - one from the south and another from the east. Both groups are coming armed.

Map updated with their locations, according to Black. Handy thing, a birdie friend

That IS handy, sweet!
Madir conveys this news to the rest of the group and points out the walkways they can expect company from.
"Whatever happened here, there are more coming now. Get ready." Madir sticks close to Gruhx. and if possible, behind Gruhx so he doesn't have to risk his 2 HPs on the frontline

Make sure that you mention the need for healing early and often. It's hard to tell what information is accurate, especially when it's later on after a fight.

Pick still in hand, Oren makes his way onto the crowded walkway (hallway?) to get a look at the on-coming threat.

Oren ventures out, and makes note of where the enemies will come from. They will be in view momentarily, if Black's reckoning of distance is akin to a humanoid's.

You figure you have one round to prepare before we go to new initiative. Anything you'd like to do? Eli, maybe a heal for Madir?

Actually Tallvar has it.

Tallvar uses his odd magics, seeming to draw from the spirit world in order to mend Madir's wounds.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Rope in hand, Gruhx watches the walkway. "Gruhx be ready sir!"

Madir moves forward to block the bottleneck of the eastern passage, with Black following suit.
"The two of us will hold this passage."

Eli, Oren, anything you'd like to do?

Sorry. Thought I did, but I guess it was a little lack-luster.

Oren readies himself for an attack, should the goblins continue to be hostile.

Never did get a response regarding the walkways in this place.

Upon hearing about the advancing Goblins, Eli will move to the corner where the action will converge and look to see which threat is most eminent.

Especially for classes like the cleric.

I blocked out the areas that have roofs - these are actual small buildings with shoddy roofs.

Tallvar moves up, not willing to leave his allies alone against the rushing groups. A few seconds is all you have to prepare before the goblins rush, shrieking, out of the buildings and along the walkways. These goblins don't seem to be as worried as the last ones were.

"Heres we gonna go!"

With a quick twirl over his head with the rope, Gruhx sends it hurdling towards the lead goblin (Red).

Improvised Whip: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
Damage?: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Following up on the Trox's assault, Madir orders Black to attack and attacks the goblin himself as well.

Madir Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Damage: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 1) + 3 = 6

Black Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Tallvar hesitates, crossbow in hand, trying to find an appropriate target. Deciding against firing into the melee happening near him, he instead turns south and fires at the lead goblin there.

Light Crossbow: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20 Oh hey, it threatens on 19.
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Crit Confirm?: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 Easy come, easy go.
Crit Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Eli steps up behind Madir and tries to aid his defenses.

Aid AC: 1d20 ⇒ 19

Tallvar draws a bead on one of the southern goblins, and puts it down with a well aimed shot to its chest. The goblins behind it seem furious, and deliver blows to the now dead body before hurling it over the walkway, frustrated for it getting in their way.

Gruhx's whip lashes out and takes the same goblin, forcing it back to slam its head off of the wooden building behind it. Blood flows as its skull cracks from the blow.

Eli follows behind and tries to distract the goblin facing them.

Madir and Black lead an assault on the now staggered goblin to the east, but to no avail. The goblin stands and swings nearly blindly at the closest thing to it - Madir. It hits, slashing along Madir's upper arm.

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

The other goblins move into place - the two from the south moving up to attack Tallvar, while those to the east push their staggered friend aside to move in. In so doing, they knock him off of the walkway. The one in the lead swipes at Madir, but Madir is able to parry away the rusty blade

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

2 Damage to Madir. Two goblins down, and the rest moved up, some with double moves to get there.

Oren steps forwards and unleashes a blast of sand at the lead goblin attacking Tallvar.

Free Action: 5-foot step.

Standard Action: Attack goblin with Sand Blast.

Sand Blast w/ PBS: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Slashing Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

(Not including penalties for shooting into melee.)

Seeing the duo of goblins trying to flank the group, Gruhx steps back and twirls the rope around again...smacking another goblin across the mouth.

"Bad gobbies! No kin eats us."

Improvised Whip vs red goblin: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Damage?: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Madir shifts his stance somewhat, prioritizing safety over offense, and both him and his bird attack again!

Madir Fight Defensively: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 3 - 4 = 1
Damage: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 4) + 3 = 8

Black Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Eli calls upon his god to heal Madir, their front line defense.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Oren blasts away, but is off target as the goblins rush their front lines, and he misses

Seeing that Madir is facing the onrushing foes, Tallvar uses his odd power on the lead goblin in line, forcing a connection that clouds the little creature's thoughts.

Evil eye on the gobbo fighting Madir -2 attack

Goblin will save: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (10) - 1 = 9

Gruhx heaves his big rope over his head and lashes out, taking down another goblin with the heavy end of it. The creature flies over the side of the walkway and lands in mud, face down, neck probably broken.

As Eli heals him back to ful!, Madir and Black assault the goblin before them, but the little creature darts around the attacks with luck, not skill.

The goblin to the south rushes at Tallvar, swinging his rusty little dogslicer.

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3

The one facing Madir slices again, this time trying to hit Black. As he does, he casts a fearful gaze over at Tallvar.

Attack: 1d20 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 - 2 = 5
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

The goblin who was stuck in the room decides he's had enough waiting and moves back to gain a line of sight on the group. He then rummages through his belt and pulls out a foot-long wooden tube. Anyone who has seen the Sandpoint celebrations before recognizes this as a skyrocket...it flies straight and makes a boom!

As you survey the field, a wild looking goblin in armor appears atop one of the roofed huts. He sets up by dropping arrows at his feet and dropping to a knee. As he sets an arrow to string, you get the idea he knows what he's doing.

Both miss! Map updated with new locations

With a few grunts and gestures, Madir orders Black to attack the goblin on the roof.
Handle Animal DC 10: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Once it's clear the bird understands, he moves to attack the goblin, as Black does the same with his target.

Madir Fight Defensively: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 3 - 4 = 13
Damage: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 2) + 3 = 6

Black Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Eli helps Madir in his attack against the gobo in front of him.

aid: 1d20 ⇒ 10

Giggling loudly, Gruhx begins to sing as he continues the attack.

"Yous whipps me..."
"Nows I whipps yous..."
"I's surprives yous whips..."
"Yous turns to goooooooooo"

Improvised Whip vs Goblin: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Target marked with red outline

Oren and Tallvar are up!

Oren blasts the closest goblin, trying to help free Tallvar from danger.

Standard Action: Attack goblin with Sand Blast.

Sand Blast w/ PBS: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Slashing Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

(Not including penalties for shooting into melee.)

Oren adjusts his aim to keep from blasting Tallvar, and unfortunately that adjustment forces his attack wide, leaving the goblin glancing around confused.

Madir swings at the goblin and, with Eli distracting it and Tallvar hexing it, the blow hits! The goblin stands, staggered, and barely standing. It tries to focus on Madir, but seems to be having trouble with that.

Goblin by Madir is staggered

Tallvar steps back, hopping off of the walkway as he moves away from the goblin.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15

He pulls off the move deftly enough, and reloads his crossbow once he lands on the ground.

Tallvar is now down and off the walkway.

Gruhx sweeps his rope at the goblin, but the little creature ducks under the whip, squeaking as it nearly takes off its head.
