"So, they have moved away.." Katten curses softly, stroking the wolf in reassurance, "I know you can't see, trust me, I am your eyes." moving to the west, and to the sounds of the battle she shakes her head. "They had one job... Stupid Nisserr. Stupid." Bow still at the ready she turns quickly on hearing Eldens cry before resuming her movement west.

Martial Arts: [1d20+1] = 12+1 = 13 [1d20+1] = 9+1 = 10

Elden will deliver a body punch to the goblin on his left, and a low kick to the goblin on the right.

================
either 2 or 5 damage to each if hit?

(dmg is chart+str bonus)

At the end of the last turn Jordek would want to heal Elden but seeing a goblin between himself and his target he goes for the goblin instead. Jordek will try to attack the goblin from behind with his dagger. Jordek Attack [1d20] = 3 , Damage [1d4] = 4

Round 3
With the resounding success he just had with his dagger, Jordek shakes his head angrily and focuses on finding an opportune chance to deliver a Cure Light Wounds on the large human in front of him.

[Chris, in your previous post you wrote engaged twice. I’m going to presume based on your track record you meant non-engaged first priority, then engaged second]
[Round 3]

Jordek creeps up behind the goblin attacking the human, and stabs him in the back! Unfortunately for the forest gnome, a particularly hard section of the matted fur armor turns the point of his dagger. The goblin yelps in surprise, but takes no injury. Circling North of his opponent, the Gnomish cleric prays quietly and taps his ally nearby. A golden glow surrounds his hand for a moment, sinking into the martial artist and closing some of his smaller wounds.

Elden, invigorated by the magic, jabs hard at his opponents midsection. The blow lands hard on the smaller opponent’s solar plexus, forcing the wind out of him. The goblins eyes roll back in his head and he collapses to the ground unconscious.

Nocturno, seeing his ally quickly surrounded, drops his bow and rushes up to aid. He draws and slashes with his longsword in one fluid motion; the blow landing hard across the goblin’s small form and killing it instantly. To the north, another goblin appears at the edge of the light, assessing the fight.

Dellinanth continues to fire upon the goblins surrounding Elden, but the shafts land off-the-mark of the clustered melee. Frantically, the goblin who lost his weapon recovers his spear while narrowly escaping a kick from the martial artist.

Indendien rushes up to get a better view and spots a goblin having emerged from the narrow crevice to the northeast! She fires upon the unexpected opponent; arrow easily finding its mark and sending the wretch to his ancestors. Yet another of the wetrock tribe squeezes through the niche and rushes the female elf! It jabs a crudely crafted spear, but her natural nimbleness serves her well as she avoids the thrust.


Linar continues to fire upon the unengaged goblins, each arrow failing to find green flesh. Another goblin approaches Elden from the north, swiping at him with his mace but catching nothing but air. With the new attacker so near, Indendien abandons her bow and manages to free the spear strapped to her back while avoiding the goblin.

Seeing the tide turning into the favour of the group, Nocturno will step up and slice at the goblin to Elden's left.

Longsword(18): [1d20] = 9 [1d8+3] = 3+3 = 6
====================================

Elden continues with this mortal combat with the goblins.

"Oh cmon, put up some kind of fight will you?!" in Goblin.

One attack on each goblin around him.

Martial Arts: [1d20+1] = 14+1 = 15 [1d20+1] = 12+1 = 13
==================================
Ok so the 15 is a Head Bash, and the 13 is a Body Punch.
Which should be 6 and 5 damage.

If there's one in sight Linar will take a shot at the nearest unengaged foe, then repeating the shot if it doesn't collapse or else creeping forwards (Move Silently), following the SW wall, to try for a shot on another unengaged goblin.
If there isn't initially an unengaged for visible to the dark elf then he will creep forwards (MS), following the SW wall, looking ahead and then to the NW for an unengaged foe for a single shot before sneaking forwards further towards the apex of where the two southerly tunnels meet.

======
LB THAC0 19 [1d20] = 8, [1d20] = 5

Jordek hold his attack until Elden goes and will then attack the goblin currently in front of Elden if it is still alive.
Jordek Attack [1d20] = 14 , Damage [1d4] = 3

[R4]

Elden quickly snatches the dirty armor of the nearby goblin and pulls him close, violently bashing his head into that of the smaller creature! The goblin’s eyes roll back, and the fighter shoves the unconscious foe out of the way. Jordek makes a quick stab at the other enemy harrying the human. The dagger slips between the dirty furs and comes back red with blood. In a rage, the goblin lashes out at the Forest Gnome with his crude mace, but the wild flailing fails to find his foe.

Nocturno moves up beside the human and slashes at the injured goblin, but the frantic movements of the smaller creature prove too erratic. With a desperate howl, the newly arrived tribe member to the north rushes forward to jab at the High Elf! The Cleric’s superior armor protects him from the clumsy thrust. Nearby, Dellinanth fires at the creature attacking his fellow wood elf, but without a clear shot through the melee his arrow strikes only the wall. Indendien quickly settles the matter herself, ramming her own spear into her assailant. The pitiful creature kicks its last like a gigged frog before sliding off to lie still on the stony ground.

Meanwhile, the Drow creeps forward carefully, staying near the wall and the shadows. He approaches, looking about for any opponent not in the maelstrom of melee activity ahead. Seeing no other possible targets, he fires at the newly arrived goblin attacking Nocturno. The arrow goes wide, missing the mark rather than further endangering his ally.

Elden’s arm strikes out like a viper at the opponent attacking Jordek. The blow lands hard, cracking several ribs and sending the goblin down in a heap. “Oh cmon, put up some kind of a fight will you?!” he says, disappointedly. The lone remaining goblin looks over, startled at the human speaking in the goblin tongue! Just then, another arrow whizzes narrowly past his head. Throwing down his weapon he cries out Me give up!!!

The goblin no sooner surrenders than another pack comes trotting around the corner from the West! These, however, do not have the same look as the other goblins. Each carries an axe of some kind, and wears a hodgepodge of piecemeal armor. The largest of the five newcomers wears rusty chain that seems sized to fit a Halfling. He surveys the damage in a moment and glares at the group before waving his battleaxe forward…

Tristan - I think I've previously been told that we use up already rolled 'to hit' rolls as they're queued and also that we don't (as they're too easy to predict.) I actually don't mind which way we do it as long as it stays the same throughout. If you wish me to do a 'To hit', tell me and I will. Thanks.
P.S. I think Dancing Lights is about due to go down.

"By the great Protector. Hold off just for a second." he will start to mumble and lay a hand on Elden.

Nocturno will use Incite Beserker Rage on Elden.

"We got new comers, follow me."

After inciting Elden, he will slowly back away and move to cover Linar.

----------------------------------------
+2 to hit and damage for the duration of the rage. While enraged, the warrior cannot flee from a fight; he cannot leave the field of battle until no enemies face him. Once he does leave the field of battle, he can choose whether or not he will emerge from the rage or sustain it; a warrior would sustain it if he felt that another fight was likely to take place soon. When he emerges from the rage, the warrior takes no extra damage or ill effects.

============================================
"Great more! I am just starting to get loose!"

============
So if either one hits it will be a Body PUnch for each.

Jordek takes a look in the newcomers direction and promptly grabs the goblin that surrendered and holds his dagger to it's back. (Jordek is unwilling to cut up his rope to fashion restraints for a goblin nor does he believe there is time for that either) "Move and you die" he snarls at it.

[If the goblin resists or acts in anyway other than complete compliance, Jordek buries his dagger in its back]

[Round 5]

Abruptly, the magical dancing lights wink out of existence; plunging the group once again into darkness save for the indirect flickers of Jordek’s torch to the East. The mad Gnome moves quickly while the position of the surrendering goblin is still fresh in his mind. He scurries over the fallen and grabs the creature’s collar tight; pressing the point of his dagger against the erstwhile assailant. Move and you die. he snarls.

Calling upon the powers of his faith, Nocturno speaks his warlike chant as he lays a hand on Elden’s shoulder. A rush of adrenaline and anger flood the human’s senses and his body all but shakes with rage! Stepping to one side, Nocturno turns to face the new opponents; providing a blockade to cover the archers behind. Dellinanth fires once at the goblins before trotting over to join the group behind the heavily armored High Elf.

The obvious leader of the newly arrived goblins calls out in his native tongue, You idiots stop hiding! Come out here and FIGHT!!! A clamor can be heard to the south near the makeshift door, but the leader doesn’t pause for a response. Krok show you what real fight is! CHAAAAARGE!!! The shrill cry is taken up by the four armored goblins surrounding him as he waves his battleaxe in a circle overhead.

The first pair of guards rush up to attack. Elden lashes out quickly with his fist, but in the darkness he fails to connect. The guard, not expecting the blinded human to strike so quickly, completely mis-times his slash. His fellow slashes hard at Nocturno; the heavy bladed weapon just managing to bite through the elf’s armor from the force of the charge. Indendien manages to fire an arrow at the leader before he and another guard close ranks; though the shot goes wide.

Krok himself slashes viciously at the human; the blow coming so close that Elden can hear the whiff of the blade as it splits the air next to his head! The other guard fares much better than his leader, however, as his axe manages to cleave through Nocturno’s armor and into his side!

Linar hustles up behind the front line and peers off into the dark to the west. Spotting the final guard, he gets a quick shot off before it too joins the fray. In his haste, the arrow slips harmlessly through the air and past his target. The guard closes with Elden and brings his crude axe down in a glancing blow that does little more than draw blood. The human strikes out again in the blackness, but the cacophony of battle makes it difficult to discern targets in the dark and his fist finds naught but air.

The wood elves and Drow each fire again, but the maelstrom of melee forces all of their shafts to fly errant, for fear of striking an ally. The racket from the South grows louder as a rusty makeshift metal door screeeeches open and another half-dozen goblins pile out. More to the South. This is getting messy. Dellinanth says grimly.

More goblins appear from the makeshift doorway to the South!

Having had little success with his bow, Linar decides to again try and help those lacking infravision. He trots to the east-northeast and, assuming nothing untoward comes into view, picks up the dropped torch and returns to about the same position (near Dellinanth & Indendien) to put the torch on the ground so as to illuminate the bunched melee group as well as he west wall of the south passage (that the latest 6 foes are traversing).If movement still permits, the drow will again trot back to seek cover in the rocky niche*.

======
*15' east from his starting position.
Tristan, happy for your discretion on where Linar places the torch. Objectives are a) to stop our people not being able to see their immediate targets and b) reveal any goblins that might try to sneak up from the south.

Feeling the full effect of the blows Nocturno will cast Cure Light Wounds on himself.

"Does anyone have any healing magic available?"

Nocturno will back up slightly making sure to avoid setting of any additional attacks.

"Elden come with me, so we can regroup and take them out!" Knowing the look on the Human's face, he is unsure if he even hears him.

The idea is to get to the circled in red areas for him and Elden, if he can drag him or convince him to move there.
