Canas slices his palm and begins chanting softly. As he does this, his form begins flickering faster, and into something different. First, there is a flash of an angelic figure. Next, the same figure appears, but it is missing an arm and seems thinner, but just as regal. As the flashes pick up speed, the figure keps becoming more emaciated, missing more parts of itself, until finally there is a flash of simply nothing. As the goblin is hit by a wave of force, Canas runs down to the others and the goblin's eyes begin to glow.
As Canas begins to work his magic, he opens himself to a vicious swipe from the goblin next to him.
Luckily, the risk pays off, as the goblin's legs buckle and it collapses with a grimace of pain frozen on its face.
Meanwhile, Canas has already moved around the statue and invoked a rune on the head of the closest goblin. Blood pours from its nose and it falls back, dead.
Canas
gotta run so I can't post more.
A'loran moves past Kava, and strikes the stone floor with his staff. Arcane energy knocks both goblins backwards.
The cowled goblin moves around the statue and slashes at Rolf but his axe is turned away by Rolf's armor.
The archer practically jumps out of the pool of blood, its bare feet coated in ichor. It retains its senses enough to put another arrow into Kava.
Latro stealthily ducks back around the statue and whispers, "Sehanine can't allow me to miss yet again, can she? Of course, not." With that, Latro tries to eviscerate the cowled goblin with a viscious slash of the short sword. As he swings he shouts, "For Anmuspi!"
Rolf cries out the name of his deity as his chops viciously at the goblin.
Then he looks up and his eyes slowly focus. "Be right with ya' miss." Rolf says to Kava.
Kava leaps and nearly takes of the archer's head, but he still stands, coughing up blood.
Latro comes around the statue, but the goblin deflects the stab with his axe.
"lets finish this quickly."
BTW My wife had a baby last night. Dylan Christopher Lapierre was 7lbs 6oz and 19 1/2 inches. I'm heading back to the hospital now.
Canas comes out from around the statue, and the goblin's eyes begin to glow.

Cybergoat - Congrats on the birth of your son. Hope Mom and son are doing well.
Canas becomes a blur once more as he moves. The archer's eyes glow and then he too collapses.
A'loran shouts out the words to a spell and tiny daggers proceed to cut the remaining goblin into a bloody mess on the floor.
Torches sputter in sconces. Combined with the sunrods your party members hold, the room is brightly lit. And your attention can't help but be drawn to the great pool of blood beside the dragon statue. Of course smaller pools are forming around the bodies of the goblinoids.
Latro moves back around the statue to rejoin the group. "Sorry guys and brave lady. I was useless in that fight. I couldn't hit anything. Canas, I'm really much better than what you just saw. So what next? And what's up with that big puddle of blood? The goblins seemed upset by it."
I remember a time when you would have done all that, busted some heads in a mosh pit, and then gamed all night. You must be getting old.

"Not to worry Mr Ciniri. I also had more than my share of attacking the air around those goblins. Whatever no good they were up too they got by zombies and were standing in this pool of blood under the temple of the Protector" Kava examines the pool of blood remembering what the goblins were doing, then examines the cloaked goblin checking against her knowledge of religeous ritual ()
"Oh don't worry, I know you wouldn't of made it this far if you were that bad." Canas goes over to the goblins and looks over them. "So, goblin cultists. Well, at least we aren't fighting any more zombies."
"hhmmm, Lets see if there are any magical effects in this room."
Detect magic and also any knowledge checks that might give some clues.

standing over the body of the cowled goblin, Kava's brow furrows with rage. "It appears that our haste was well warrented. They are the Tyrants servants - children of Maglubiyet exarch of Bane. Well they will oppress no more. Still I wonder what they were doing with the pool of blood" She traditionally pays her respects at the dragon statue[/ooc] " Well lets check this door
Latro moves to the door, listens intently, and examines the locking mechanism.
She traditionally pays her respects at the dragon statue[/ooc]
A'loran, the black-cowled goblin is wearing magical gloves:
These enchanted gloves can be activated to ignore an opponent’s resistances for a short time.
Level: 3
Price: 680 gp
Item Slot: Hands
Power (Daily): Minor Action. Until the end of the encounter, your attacks ignore any resistance of 10 or lower.
In a belt pouch he also has a potion:
Your eyes glow faintly and your skin darkens and takes on a chitinous texture when you imbibe this red, smoky potion.
Level: 6
Price: 75 gp
Potion
Power (Consumable): Minor Action. Drink this potion and spend a healing surge. You do not regain hit points as normal. Instead, gain 5 temporary hit points and resist 5 fire until the end of the encounter.
And a piece of jade:
Latro, while there is a complex locking mechanism on the door, it looks like it has already been picked.
Rulf staggers and stumbles, his shock of bristly white hair catching the light as he shakes his head, then he looks around him as if coming out of a daze.
I dinnae know wots goin on, I feel like ah bin in a bit of a muddle these las few days
Casting a practised eye over the departed goblins he says Ah guess we’ll jus leave the bodies here, anyway burnins too good for em Rulf then performs a quick benediction Ohh Mighty Kord, I beseech thee to guide these departed souls straight to the burnin depths of hell where they belong, ever watchful that the sneaky little basteds don’t get away
With a quick stub of his foot into one body Rulf then moves away to something else that’s caught his interest.
"I'm good to continue as well. I did fine some items here. Some piercing gloves and a potion that gives your fire resistance. If anyone is interested. And a piece of Jade for the party treasure"
A'loran brings the jade over to Kava.
"No complaints here Canas. Take the gloves if they would be helpful for you. So we going through this door or what?"
Focusing his gaze on the door as Latro prepares to open it Rulf mutters I jes hope theres more gobos behind yon door, cause I feel a need to be riddin the world of em.
Latro cautiously opens the doors. Beyond is a great vaulted chamber supported by columns carved to resemble the roaring heads of multiple dragons. The black stone walls seem to resist the light causing an effect that seems to leave more shadows than there should be.
As the doors open, a lone goblin steps out from behind a pillar, spear raised. Before any of you can act though, it appears as if the goblin is pulled into the floor. He doesn't have time to scream or resist. All that is left of him is a good sized pool of blood (the red square on the map).

"well that was interesting." "Latro, any insight on if that's a trap."
None that you could identify.
