Quick question, the following string is taken from Koruvus' stat block (Rise of the Runelords - p36 in the anny edition):

Melee +1 longsword +4 (1d8+4/19-20), silver dagger +3 (1d4+1/19-20) mwk handaxe +3 (1d6+1/x3)

Why is the longsword italicized and what does the +1 before longsword mean?

Also, this is a mutated goblin with three arms wielding three weapons. Would he be able to use a full round action to attack an adjacent character with all three weapons?

Magic item names are italicized (as well as spell names).

The +1 before longsword means that it is a +1 magic weapon.
With a full attack, which takes a full round action, you get all your attacks. These attacks can be all against one creature, or spread out across multiple creatures.
