Kenzo's and Eugen's swords both slice through the two goblins near them.
And now at last, a convoluted map...
"Bedezerine!" Jessa flings another cantrip of confounding mental energy at the nearest goblin, hoping to keep them dazed and let the warriors keep pressing forward.
There is a goblin (q,4) about 30 feet from Jessa. The Bard (k,4) is about 60 feet away.

I wait for Eugen and Kenzo to move up, planning to move up behind them to support if necessary.
I'll daze that goblin too - he's got to make two saving throws now - that's about all I can do.
The poor goblin, hit by a double wammy of mind altering magic, develops a goofy grin and licks his nose with a long purple tongue.
Saves vs Daze (DC 14, DC 13) (1d20-1=14, 1d20-1=0)
The goblin songster continues his quirky song, banging away all the while on his little drum and capering in time to his own beat on the table.
Slit the throat and drink the blood,
Wash it on; don’t quell the flood,
Smash…. Smash…
When she’s mad she’s really bad!
Smash…. Smash…
Three of the goblins heft large glass chunks and with a sudden strange grin on all three of their faces, they move towards the party [to (n,3); (m,5); and (k,3)]. The other goblin on the far side of the bard hops off the table he was on and sticks a long rod in the furnace (d,5).
The dazed goblin, of course, does nothing but drool.

"Keep him out of the fight!" Jessa urges Gyorgy, "I'll handle some of the others." Even as the warriors press ahead, she moves with them, but eventually separates to take cover in the relative safety of the crates next to one of the tables. Seeing another of the goblins headed her way, she leans over the table with an outstretched arm.
"Bedezerine!" she calls out again, targeting him with another enchantment.
surprise no longer an issue, i give vent to my inner desire to yell while running and loudly charge the dazed goblin . about halfway there it occurs to me that it might be a little ridiculous yelling like crazy while attacking a mindless dazed goblin, but then i think maybe it will intimidate the others. i try to make myself look big.
swing! smash!
charging dazed goblin, q4 (1d20 +5 + 2 +1=19)
'satisfying series of crunches!' i think to myself, and then look up to see four more goblins staring me down, their cataract eyes shining in the firelight.
The goofy grin on the goblins face dissapears as Eugen's sword slashes into him. He falls next to the glass encased arm of some unfurtante soul.
As the party moves forward, the glass encased figure in the center alcove becomes clearer. It is Lonjiku Kaijitsu, Ameiko's father and the owner of the Glassworks. There is a hideous look on his face. It seems likely that he was alive when he was encased in molten glass.
As Eugen takes down another goblin, Kenzo charges behind him and then past him, attacking the next goblin with an overhand slash.
Even as the little goblin hefts a large piece of glass over its head with two hands, preparing to throw it at Kenzo, the monk's sword cuts him down and he drops the glass upon his own head before falling to the ground, unmoving.
I'll move up to t,4 and lob a starknife at the goblin at m,5, using Arcane Strike.
As the weapon soars through the air and strikes home I let out a little cheer.
The little goblin, in mid throw, is struck by Gyorgy's star knife and falls to the floor. The glass chunk he is holding falls as well and shatters.
I'll give Magazin till this evening and then just assume he's waiting in case Kenzo gets injured.
I am holding my actions to make sure that if anyone gets hit hard that I can move up and heal them.
The goblin still holding a piece of glass steps forward (l,3) and with a cackle, it throws its piece of glass forward at Kenzo.
The glass hits the floor in front of Kenzo and shatters into pieces. A solitary finger, embedded in the glass, skitters forward, spinning to a stop at Kenzo's feet.
The goblin bard stops singing and shouts in goblin,
The other goblin, now wielding a long rod with flaming molten glass on the other end runs forward, towards the group, its booted feet crunching over broken glass. (p,5)

Georgy's star whistles past my ear to embed itself in the goblin i was eying, 'nice!' i exclaim while rushing forward to meet the attack of the goblin with the flaming rod . I swing my sword on the run so as to end up beside him and leave a clearer space for my fellows.
charging goblin in P5 (1d20 +5 +2=20)
"yaaa!" i yell, pulling my sword in closer for a defensive position while trying to eye up what's going on. "you coward goblin rat! come back here!"
With goblins seemingly falling all around her from the slashing blades of Eugen and Kenzo, Jessa keeps her concentration focused on the fleeing drummer. She slips past the table where she'd taken shelter and skirts the furnaces, feeling the roaring heat on her face. Hurrying to catch up, she sees the goblin bard has almost reached the doors.
"No!" she screams with her dagger poised to throw. She closes her eyes and lets the arcane magic of her divination take over. The knife leaves her hand with hardly a thought as she hurls it with all her strength...
Jessa's thrown dagger attack with true strike bonus and long-range penalties... (1d20+2+20-10=32)
Roll to confirm critical threat... (1d20+2+20-10=30)
Damage rolls, including critical hit... (1d4=3, 1d4=4)
Eugen's sword dispatches yet another goblin but as this one falls, the molten glass he was carrying brushes the rags he is wearing and they go up with a blaze. The little beast shrieks once and then is engulfed in flames.
Of course, who ever said the bard was running away... Maybe he just wanted to open the door? ;)
Kenzo moves as close as he can to the bard, around the left side of the tables, and throws his sword as hard as he can at the fleeing goblin.
The glass throwing goblin, looks back and forth between Kenzo and Magazin, as if trying to decide who to attack and maybe whether or not to simply try to run away.
I charge the goblin flinging glass and swing my heavy mace!
Charge on the remaining Goblin and damage if necessary. (1d20+2+1+2=9, 1d8+2=4)
Found it...
The sword flies through the air and hits the goblin warchanter.
Magazin, meanwhile misses but Jessa moves forward and in a beautiful throw skewers the bard just as he is reaching for the handles of the door. He falls to the ground.
Yay! Even if I missed on the crit roll.
Running out of starknives to throw, I send a Magic Missile against the remaining goblin.
Running out of starknives to throw, I send a Magic Missile against the remaining goblin.
"One still left over here..." Jessa calls out to Kenzo and Eugen when she sees the flash of Gyorgy's spell.
The goblin, struck by the arcane missile and suddenly realizing that it is alone, cries out in the goblin tongue...
Then with a determined look on its wide mouthed face, it bites its tongue, pulls its shield off its back, strikes a dramatic pose and tries to attack Magazin with a dog-slicer.
It misses.

Then with a determined look on its wide mouthed face, it bites its tongue, pulls its shield off its back, strikes a dramatic pose and tries to attack Magazin with a dog-slicer....It misses.
Jessa targets the remaining goblin with another enchantment to keep it off-balance and aid Magazin and Eugen in their fight. Then, she moves towards the end of the room to guard against any more goblins who might be headed their way. 'Come on,' she tells herself, 'You can handle whatever comes through that door. Just remember those goblins on the street during the Swallowtail Festival...'
