Etienne nods his thanks to Talam. "Let's look for suitable material here with which to bind the goblin. But we must hurry. I fear that the goblins presence here is but the tip of the evil running about in this place."
"Agreed. Talacyst you said you some rope we could use right?" Talam looks back at the Warchanter, "loukak cakren geb. Dolkak geb regist noni".
Frowning at finding the door she selected locked Vraelyn carefully puts her ear to it, her expression one of utter concentration.

Fael & Blackleaf:
Coppertop is relieved to find no sign of Ameiko. Looking up he sees that the war chanter is being taken care of so he turns and heads off in the direction of Fael, Vraelyn, and blackleaf. As he goes he looks at the dead and dismembered bodies of the citizens of Sand Point, some of whom he has known his whole life. “She will answer for her crimes,” he thinks grimly as he moves.
"Agreed. Talacyst you said you some rope we could use right?"
Talacyst nods and begins fumbling in his pack. After a moment he straightens, his face reddening. "Err, I seem to have forgotten my rope somewhere... I could have sworn I had some with me..." He continues to look about his pack, partially to avoid eye contact.
"Grab the sneak thief or let me bash it though makes no mind to me. I will kill any goblins I find so I would rather not involve the Shael mystalaer olaer among us." under his breath " There just want to keep em as pets anyhow" Looking over to Vraelyn he says "your call"
Stalking back to look through the doorway back to the glassworking room Vraelyn takes a moment to look over the carnage in the room and the men fussing over tying up the female goblin responsible before shaking her head a little. Returning to the locked door she looks at Blackleaf and Coppertop "I say we just knock it down and be done with it. Considering what these monsters have done to the workers I'd say time is of the essence"
Upon hearing the other elves words Blackleaf smiles a grim smile
"Finely" He grunts as he lunches his shoulder at the door
yay me nat 20. and I was guessing the enlarge had worn off
"Bash it." says Fael, "I'm with you guys on what to do with goblins."
The Warchanter sits there watching all of the happenings going on around her. She sits there calmly, she seems different than the other goblins you have incountered before. She says nothing, just sitting there waiting to see what's happening.
"Friends, allow me to talk to the goblin."
Etienne talks to the goblin.
"I am Etienne. By what name, do we call you? Know that we seek your cooperation and we are prepared to reward you if your help prove indispensable to our mission. So what say you."
"Look, I may have scruples but there are those in this world who do not have them. So cooperate, understand?"
With a smile Vraelyn moves to stand beside Fael to allow the stronger elf more room to try to force the door open. "Are you alright?" She asks the child as they wait, years of working and living at the academy coming to the fore.
"I'm fine," Fael says, "There were a lot of dead bodies back there, but I'll cry for them later. I'm mad at goblins and stupid people. I hope Ameiko's okay. She's nice. She..."
She's obviously holding back one of her "tidal waves of babble", since she knows that now is not the time, but it's taking some effort.

With a sigh of both frustration and humility, Talam he begins making his way to the door, Warchanter in tow.
I keep the Warchanter in front of me as I walk, blades at the ready. In case she makes any hostile act or tries to cast; Attack: 1d20+0=17 and 1d20+0=15; Damage 1d4+1+1d6=6 and 1d4+1+1d6=6
Vraelyn notches an arrow and moves to cover the two close combatants as they move in through the door.
Knowing there is little room for his ax. Blackleaf slings it across his back drawing his bow and fallows coppertop down the stairway.
As the rest of the group appears, Fael looks surprised to see the goblin, apparently unbound, with them... and smiling.
"We've got more coming," she says to Etienne and Talam, "You should take your pet and go, since you want her so bad. Even I know you can't watch her and fight with us at the same time."
To Vraelyn, she says, "I thought grown-ups were smarter than that."

Combat Round 1
Init order:
Blackleaf
Fael
Goblin
Coppertop
Vraelyn
Blackleaf puts his axe away and pulls his bow off his back and readies an arrow. Fael sees the rest of the group enter the storage area and exchanges words with them. The goblin draws his dog slicer and attacks Coppertop who squeezes by Blackleaf to attack the goblin. The goblin lashes out but hits the wall before he even gets a chance to attack Coppertop not thinking about how small the area it is in. Coppertop seeing an opening makes his own attack, lunges forward with his spear killing the goblin with a surprised look on its face. Vraelyn stands ready to help but can't see past Blackleaf and Coppertop.
The goblins behind the now dead one scream at Coppertop and the next goblin in line steps forward to attack him.
End of round 1
Talacyst notes the growing commotion from the other doorway. Not knowing exactly what he can do in the cramped situation, he draws his bow and covers the Warchanter, keeping a healthy ten feet away.
Coppertop will move back out of the stairway; either a 5’ step or a move action. He won’t subject himself to an Attack of Opportunity. He attacks the next goblin to approach him.
Vraelyn shifts, swinging her bow and aiming her arrow at the captured warchanter. A small frown furrows the elf's forehead as the temptation to just shoot the thing and be done with it becomes just a little too strong.
Coppertop continues to back out of the stairwell while attacking whenever possible. He will be careful not to expose himself to an Attack of Opportunity.
Melee attack, Long Spear: (1d20 3=10)
Well, not that it matters, but here is the damage roll.
Melee damage, Long Spear: (1d8 3=10)
Talacyst nods at Etienne's words. "Quite right - I've got something that might throw off a few of them..."
He takes a few steps towards the door and, producing a few choice items from his pouches, prepares to send a wash of colorful energy at the first goblin to show it's nasty face.

You see a bunch of goblins trying to rush the room, yelling and screaming goblin battle cries. They are coming through the door from the glassworking room. As they try to rush in they are hit by a vivid cone of clashing colors, the cone hits two of the goblins directly and blinds them. They falter in there attack rush and the goblins behind crash into the blinded ones making a big pile of them in the door way.
The goblins at the bottom of the stairs make another charge up the stairs at Coppertop and Blackleaf(From their angle that is all they can see).
Blackleaf takes aim at the goblin coming up the stairs.He lets his arrow fly with his breath.Then in one fluid motion grabs his ax from his back with his arrow hand and drops his bow from the other. He then drops into a combat stance and awaits the goblins.
Talam grips his weapons. He watches the Warchanter closely.
If she makes any hostile act or tries to cast; Attack: 1d20+0=16 and 1d20+0=17; [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1604686/]Damage 1d4+1+1d6=9 and 1d4+1+1d6=6
Coppertop continues to back out of the stairwell while attacking whenever possible. He will be careful not to expose himself to an Attack of Opportunity.
Melee attack, Long Spear: (1d20 3=10)
Well, not that it matters, but here is the damage roll.
Melee damage, Long Spear: (1d8 3=10)
As he attacks he yells out his battle cries: "Sand Point!" and "Fear the tusk!"
Vraelyn waits patiently, her arrow aimed down the stairwell, prepared to take a shot whenever she sees a good one.
Talacyst allows himself a smile as his spell works according to plan. With a jolt, he suddenly realizes that he's at the front of the group, and hastily moves back to a safer distance, readying his longbow as he goes.
Etienne moves to flank one of the goblins, his sword flashes in a downward arc.

Battle on the stairwell
As another goblin tries to charge up the stairs Blackleaf lets fly one of his deadly arrows and hits the charging goblin in the chest sending him flying back down the stairs with a loud thud as it hits the bottom not moving ending its life. Some how a second goblin who was also charging up the stairs avoids the falling creature and continues with its charge, it misses the attack attempt by Coppertop and makes its own attack on Blackleaf with its dogslicer but misses not able to stand up to the tall elf. Vraelyn shot in the dark down the stairs misses but brings many curses as it wizzes by the goblins at the bottom.
You hear from the bottom of the stairs a commanding voice speaking in goblin [goblin]You fools you are just running up to your deaths, hold them here while I go out to get more help and I am taking her with me.[goblin] You also hear a muffled noise that sounds like someone struggling and trying to speak.......

Battle at the storage room doorway
Etienne attacks one of the blinded goblins killing it easily, the goblin not being able to defend itself. The other blinded goblin makes a wild swing at Etienne not even coming close to scoring a hit. Talacyst makes his way out of the front lines just in time as the other two goblins push past their blinded comrades to make attacks trying to free up the Warchanter. The Warchanter just stands there calmly waiting for freedom as Talam stands vigilant over her.
