Wolf-Sark draws his sword and flings open the door.
Steel-spined Wolf-Sark fearlessly opens the door, and gazes in the dim light of the mule-borne sunrod at an apparent storeroom, filled with old crates and barrels. The dank, unlit room smells of mold and rot. Two more closed doors lead out of the storeroom on the western wall.
Fredrick will glance quickly around the storeroom and then look to the others. "Someone obviously left that trip wire for a purpose. I suggest that we check and make sure the surrounding area is clear, so we aren't ambushed. Then we can raid these rooms and see if anything useful remains."
"That's thinking like a warrior, Flash. I agree." Wolf-Sark takes a quick look around before leaving.

"Which way do you suggest we go?" Dresiro asks, looking at Wolf-Sark then Flash.
"We check the other room, and then deal with those bells." Wolf-Sark moves over to the door on the east and opens it, sword in hand.
Dresiro follows Wolf-Sark, curve blade ready, hoping they didn't come down here with a warrior with a death wish.
Looking left to right Osric follows as quietly as he can.
"Wait, I-" Rurik is interrupted by Wolf-Sark opening the door. Rurik just shakes his head and continues in after him.
Dresiro keeps his eyes trained on the surroundings as Wolf-Sark opens the door.
Perception
Fredrick will take up his place just behind the others, looking into the doorway, ready for whatever may come as the door opens. He pats Rurik on the shoulder lightly in understanding, wincing in case something happens.
Just as Wolf-Sark boldly reaches out to open the easternmost door, he is interrupted by the slamming open of another door further up the hallway! A small mob of humanoids, apparently alerted by the voices of the exploring heroes, comes rushing out of the closest western room screaming in bloodcurdling voices. Rushing forward in a murderous, hateful mass they shout "For the glory of the Beast God!" and "Blood for the Beast God!" The assemblage of attacking monsters consists of goblins, kobolds, and two larger figures who appear ostensibly human but their sloping brows and jutting jaws mark them as clearly less evolved than most (think neanderthals). The entire assemblage bristles with weaponry, and looks more than ready to draw blood.
The lead goblin hisses something malicious-sounding in its native tongue as it points at the group.
Battle is joined!
"Damn. Goblins" Rurik raises his crossbow and fires a bolt at the nearest goblin, then begins to reload.
Dresiro moves up to the beginning of the hallway pointing at the goblin in the lead and yells "Ah, a fight. Your lives end today scum!" While raising his blade in the air with his other hand.

Fredrick advances forward towards the others as quickly as he can, though he is somewhat taken aback by their appearance. For all his bluster, he is not so used to combat. He will move forward and try and catch as many of the enemies as he can in a 15foot cone of colorspray(DC 17).
Wolf-Sark moves to P26 and readies an attack to hack down any foe who comes near.

26: The lead goblin draws his shortbow, and shoots at Rurik, the hated dwarf, but misses badly. "Damn beardie!!"
The other two goblins scream with bloodlust, and charge forward with their short swords upraised to hack at the closest foes, Rurik and Fredrick.
Goblin #2 vs. Rurik
Critical threat! (Failed)
Goblin #3 vs. Fredrick
Both of the goblins draw blood from their respective enemies, and they caper and squeal disgustingly. "For the Beast God! Intruders die!"

Wolf-Sark will move to P27 and direct his attack against the goblin threatening "Flash". If that goblin is already dead, he'll move to P26 and attack the goblin threatening Rurik. (18 attack, 10 dmg, rolled above)
Dresiro charges at the goblin that cut Fredrick, bringing an overhead chop down on it's head.

Karth stands his ground bring up his bow and fires at the Koblod and goblin in the group that have yet to move

COMBAT ROUND 1 CONTINUED
Rurik shifts away from his assailant, then turns and fires at the goblin nearest Fredrick. The dwarf's crossbow bolt grazes the arm of the goblin, eliciting a piteous screech from the hateful thing.
Dresiro's own advance is spoiled by the sudden appearance of Rurik in his way, but the paladin steps around his ally and cleaves the wounded goblin's head like a ripe melon with his great curved blade.
ROUND 1 ORDER
26: 2 Goblins - ACTED (One fallen)

4: 2 Primitive Humans
2: 2 Kobolds
If things mostly look the same, then Fredrick will likely be trying to get to N23 to let off a colorspray hitting as many of the enemies as possible when his action comes up.
Osric moves to P-27 screaming wildly
“ARRRRRRGGGGG”
And foaming at the mouth.
Intimidate
to goblin on O-27
COMBAT ROUND 1 CONTINUED
Osric dashes out to the center of the hallway, and screams bloody murder at the 'lead' goblin while flecks of white foam fly forth from his frothing mouth. The effect seems to be just as intended, because the goblin stops shouting about the glories of the Beast God, and flinches back looking rather scared.
Wolf-Sark, meanwhile, steps around the corner and easily dispatches the goblin who wounded Rurik, running the beastie neatly through with his sword.
The way now clear, Fredrick calmly strides forward, raises his hands, and speaks an incantation. The shaken goblin takes a swipe at the mage as he casts the spell. A brilliant display of rainbow-colored lights erupts from his fingertips, bathing the enemies in light and overwhelming their senses.

The goblin's shaky sword swipe doesn't connect with Fredrick, but the spell works alomst perfectly! All of the enemies except the one kobold right next to Fredrick swoon and fall over, their senses overwhelmed by the magic.
Karth finds that there is only one opponent left standing, but that Fredrick is in the way of his shot. So he steps forward to where he has a good angle on the last remaining kobold, and lets his arrow fly. The uncomfortable adjustment in trying not to hit Fredrick, though, spoils the ranger's aim and he misses.
The last kobold hisses in rage and fear at Fredrick and thrusts with his spear at the illusionist.
The spearpoint grazes Fredrick's side, wounding the bloody mage for a second time.

Dresiro strides up next to Fredrick and attempts to cleave through the daring Kobold. "Your arcane prowess is commendable Flash. It is time to lay waste to these evil cretins."
Minimum Damage: If penalties reduce the damage result to less than 1, a hit still deals 1 point of nonlethal damage.
Osric will charge the Goblin in 0-22
"I am the Beast Lord, and you are my supper"
Morning Star; damage
Dresiro strides forth up the hallway and swiftly dispatches the last standing kobold with his curved blade. All of the foes have now fallen, leaving the party to catch their collective breath, and decide what to do next.
END COMBAT
Fredrick smiles as the flash of light from his hands causes the various creatures to startle and collapse, looking rather pleased with himself. He grunts and narrows his eyes as the goblin that remains struck him, but he gives Dresiro an appreciative nod when the elf makes it the goblin's last mistake.
With the battle won, he takes a slow breath and that seems to be when what just happened hits him and he winces, pressing his hand over the real wound he took, grunting a bit when he sees blood. "Ugh... Well that was, um, simple enough I suppose. Little buggers got me good though."
He will glance over towards the more martial sorts. "My spell has just incapacitated them briefly. The light was more then their senses can take. They will be up again soon, so you may wish to finish this."
Wolf-Sark moves over to the unconscious beastmen and puts them to the sword. That bloody business done, he comes up to Flash and slaps him on the shoulder. "Well fought! You deserve to have your wounds bound so that you can fight again."
He enters a sort of trance and lays his hands upon Flash and Rurik, healing their wounds.
CLW Flash:
CLW Rurik:
As his wounds repair, Flash will nod to Wolf. "Your powers are great, my friend. I thank you."
With the healing, flash will go around and assist the others in putting the remaining creatures down.
"Thank you." Rurik hefts his morningstar and sets to work.
Leaving the others to healing, Karth retrieves what arrows he can, and digs out the arrow heads of the broken ones. Next he sees to ending the threat of the sleeping beasts with his dagger and searching the bodies
Osric will watch warily looking to and fro for some other menace to sneak up upon our party.
Perception
With the battle ended for the moment, the party sets to work, quickly moving to dispatch the unconscious enemies before they wake. Rurik steps forward and bashes in the head of the fallen goblin, while Wolf-Sark cuts the the throat of one of the primitive humans. Fredrick does the same for the other degenerate human with his dagger, and Karth recovers his one fired arrow, finding it still usable. Dresiro puts the last kobold out of his misery, while Osric hangs back, keeping his eyes open for any further signs of trouble.
Wolf-Sark lays hands on Fredrick, healing the wizard's wounds up completely. He is about to do the same for Rurik, when the sudden sound of another door opening draws everyone's attention! From the second western-leading door charge more howling humanoids, calling for blood! This group consists of three goblins, and two hobgoblins, who appear to be goading their smaller brethren before them. All of this group are armed but wear no armor. They appear to have been sleeping when awakened by the sound of the battle with the other group, but they're awake now and ready to fight. "Blood for the Beast God!!!!"

Wolf-Sark also moves forward and prepares to meet the charge.
Dresiro and Wolf-Sark both step forward confidently, blades ready to meet the expected charge of the goblinoid foes. Karth, meanwhile, shifts to the right side of the hallway, and calmly fires an arrow which strikes one of the hobgoblins in the side, eliciting a scream of pain and rage.
