While they rest Ordrin surveys Lokk's injuries and checks in on Leo, both of whom tower over him. "Well, lads, as Lokk can tell you, me hands aren't as good as me heart for tending your wounds. I'm exhausted. What say we leave the gobbies their broken stone and regroup in town. I've a few questions for Gundren and we need to track down Glasstaff."
Lokk brushes Ordrin off if he gets to close; but, he is willing enough to let him survey from afar. It didn't take much insight to see touching and too close a proximity to others had a way of unnerving the half-blind half-orc. Rubbing his chin, Lokk eventually says, "Tempting. VERY Tempting. But, we've already come this far. And I hate to leave a job half done. Besides, my point still stands about them regroup here to take over what's left. And if there's any more of those big reds(hobgoblins) about elsewhere in the keep, they'll be back up and running in no time at all."He explains before getting back to his feet. "If the rest of you aren't feeling up to it however, I'll defer to the group in lieu of further arguing over it." Lokk adds tiredly.

"I tend to agree," Anton says, nodding. "I expect it will only take us another hour or so to sweep through the last few rooms here. And if I'm wrong about that, all the more reasons to do it since that means there's something more interesting or threatening there than goblins."
Exiting through the north door, you enter what seems to be the foyer/entrance-way of the old castle. Doors stand closed to the north and south, with a crumbling mound of rubble partially obscuring the southern hall. To the east, a broad corridor ends in two more doors leading south and east. The corridor is cluttered with dusty rubble and fallen plaster from a partial collapse of the ceiling overhead. To the west, you can see daylight and the forest through a pair of broken wooden doors.
A reminder of the map. You are presumably going back to the Foyer, where there is an alcove NW, a door north, and a door east. You haven't gone in that one door south, but it's pretty clear to you all that would take you back to the kitchen.
"Why don't we sweep through these last few rooms clockwise?" Anton says. "Starting with this door here," he adds, pointing to the NW door to the alcove.
Anton opens the door and see a room mirror to the alcove in the south west; It's a small guard post with arrow slits looking over the courtyard. Inside are 2 goblins, crossbows levelled.
To determine if Anton gets to react before the crossbows fire or not (rolling at evens since both parties would be expecting the other):
For this fight, please identify where in the foyer you are. I'll get a map up this afternoon, but using the grid above, assume the grid is A to D left-to-right, and 1-7 top-to-bottom in the foyer

"Let's finish the job. " says Pip

"Sounds good. Lead the way! "
OoC: Assuming nobody objects to his suggestion, Anton will take the lead and open the door to the alcove.

Yep. Also of note, those are 10 feet squares, so i'll allow 2 per square
OoC: Ordrin is also in A1 then.
Pip will be in B2
Seeing the bolts fly towards the party he snaps a shot off with his own crossbow.
