Nocturno will rush to the front. Longsword out, looking for some kind of alarm.
Under his breath.
"Fool me once, shame on you..."

If he doesn't see something obvious, he will attack the farthest in goblin he can see.

Initiative: [1d10]=8
Longsword(18): [1d20]=9 [1d8+3]=8+3=11

Unable to continue fighting with the bow she lets it fall from her grasp and rapidly brings the longsword to play..

Linar tries to put down the fourth goblin with a flight arrow, hoping to do so before it can alert any of its kin annd the group can continue to advance stealthily.

Ha! Beefy boy can see around corners

Findalsip slings a stone at the northernmost goblin
To hit: [1d20]=20
Damage: [1d4]=4

The surviving goblin looks at his three dead commrades and immediately turns and runs, shouting in his native tonge as he flees further into the cave.

Bullock puts his sword away and charges forward to help the others, shouting in the direction of the sounds in goblin, We have found you Goblin scum, now time to squash you!! As he rounds the corner, the presence of a large Worg blocks his path.

The Worg releases a feral howl which echoes throughout the nearby area loudly. Snarling it gnashes already bloody teeth at the Felis Ranger. Again it sinks deadly fangs deep into her flesh, tearing wide gashes in her hip and leg! Dran rushes up, barking and snarling at the much larger canine. He claws and nips at the creature furiously but so far without effect

Fin moves enough to see around the corner and winds up his sling with the newly enchanted stone. The Deep Gnome takes aim at the goblin far in the distance, spotting others behind it. The stone flies true and strikes the goblin square in the forehead with an audible crack!

By the time Linar reloads, his target has fled out of sight. With the crowd around the worg growing, he takes a step south to see farther around the corner where Findalsip fired. A trio of other goblins, newly alerted to the conflict, stare back in surprise. The Drow fires twice at them, one shot grazing the side of a goblin scalp but doing no appreciable damage. With the others all advancing, Jordek scurries up behind the group, stopping short before washing out the party's infravision.

==========================
Ugh need a 12, roll a 9 and 11 lol. Maybe a crit next time!!!
=========================

Katten almost howls in pain, any element of suprise lost as she feels the bloodlust to destroy these creatures and their pets rising.

Longsword (ThaCo 17) [1d20]=11 Damage [1d8+1]=2+1=3 And she still misses.

Linar tries to pick off more of the hide-wearing goblins, moving as he must to stay out of the light and still allowing others to advance if they wish.

OOC: LB THAC0 18 [1d20]=12, [1d8]=8
Thinking of the elven shoot/move (up to 60')/ shoot. GM can choose appropriate movement (but probably skirting the southern wall of the western tunnel so as to minimise his silhouetting).
LB THAC0 18 [1d20]=11, [1d8]=7

Bull

Moves full move into the dark unknown straight west. Hoping to stop any goblins from warning the rest of their Kin. If any move to oppose him he will throw up a Color Spray and melee from there.

Findalsip hurls his two remaining Magic Stones at W1.

Damage:[1d6]=2

Bullock Charges Westward into the cave and quickly out of sight of the others as he is forced to circle around a rock formation to continue. Seeing two goblins nearby to the south he moves up to threaten them.

Fin hurls a rock at the Worg, but the beast hops easily to one side avoiding it. Again the creature sinks its blood-soaked teeth into the Ranger, tearing ever more horrible wounds into her flesh. Hearing the Felis cry out in pain, Jordek sets his torch down and feels his way towards the front. The forest gnome recites a healing prayer and manages to lay a small hand on Katten in the dark based on the sounds of combat. A gentle golden glow washes over her, fully repairing the damage from the most recent attack plus a tiny bit more! Katten and Dran lunge as one at the Worg, but neither mother nor cub manage to lay a mark on the so far untouched creature!

Suddenly goblins begin pouring out towards the party from the NorthWest and South; their shrill cries echoing in the cavern! Quickly the party is virtually surrounded from the front, with several behind Nocturno and the natives of the Underdark! Linar pulls off a skilled shot, droping a goblin charging the front lines while he artfully dodges the clumsy attack of another from behind. Fin hurls his final magical stone at the worg, but misses as he is forced to evade yet another goblin behind him! Others close in to threaten Dran and Nocturno as the fighting seems to palpably intensify!

Having abandoned his second bowshot when the goblin whiffed at him from behind, Linar draws his longsword and nimbly dances sideways, spinning with bladesinger precision to face the greenskin and still next it, but with the four goblins now more or less lined up.

If he can do so before being hit, the fragile drow tries to take down some of these goblins with the edge of a wedge of Colour Spray.

Seeking to put down the biggest threat, Nocturno swings at the Worg.
