((I think that was for after Cahoots and Penumbra did their bit of recon. I'm fine using a turn so we can see... Rand, Gobbos are on a bridge, and we are below it, you might need a longer sword!)
(OOC: Raldean is correct - no one actually lit a torch because you were waiting for the recon mission. And there are two goblins on a bridge 20 feet above and 25 feet north of you. There are two more (well, one now...) who came out of the side tunnel to the west of you. The map helps to put all of these pieces together. =)
Tarin retreats back to the wolf cave (unless you want to exit the caves altogether?) and lies prone to make a smaller arrow target. From here he cannot see the bridge anymore, but he can sling his spell at the goblins coming from the side passage. He watches his companions and waits for the right moment to toll the dead. Cahoots stays hidden beneath the bridge.
Now that Raldean has shed some light on the state of affairs, Rand sees the new goblin threat coming at them and steps forward. With a quick downward slash, he easily dispatches the first one through!
In her anger at the perceived death of Cahoots Penumbra hardly notices the goblin arrow lodged in her thigh. She draws her daggers and rushes forward closing to melee range with the closest goblin and attcks him with both blades.
Penumbra closes in and finishes off the next goblin with her daggers. Seems the harsh words from the bard a moment ago were just as painful as the tiefling's dagger to its heart!
Bankur's crossbow sends a 12 inch shaft of death at the other goblin coming out of the western passage, ending the immediate threat from that location!
The last goblin, on the bridge, finally realizes what has happened. He thought they were chasing their dinner. Instead he stumbled onto the Party of Goblin-Slayers! He grabs an iron ring hanging next to the passage entrance to the west of the bridge and gives it a hard yank, pulling the rope attached to it. Penumbra can see the rope leading further north along the passage, attached at various points to the wall via metal rings. In the distance she can just make out the sound of a bell ringing... The goblin then dashes back to the west!
"Of all the foul smelling slime featured gits... There goes any hope of sneaking up on 'em." Seeing better in the torchlight now, Raldaen looks down the passageway to the west, "Be a difficult chase up that rubble. Do we push forwards, or use that chimney to try an flank 'em?"
(OOG: I think I should roll an intelligence check here since I know what the goblins have planned but Penumbra does not, the check is to determine if she can figure out what the pools of water in the room she investigated are for or if she remains unaware of what is likely about to happen.)
Realizing that the goblin has raised the alarm, and that the pools of water in the next room could make life difficult for her friends below Penumbra calls down a warning. "Get out of the tunnel! That little bugger just rang a bell and they have reservoirs full of water up here, I think they might flood it." She then proceeds to dash off to the east in an admittedly reckless attempt to stop the trap being sprung.
Yep - you've figured out the impending problem! Your movement takes you to the cavern, where you see three goblins who have just heard the alarm and are moving to release the flood. What do you want to do?
Penumbra Init: 22
Goblin Init: 11
What are the rest of you doing after Penumbra calls out her warning?
Tarin thinks for a moment and says, "What if we head back up the steps into the side cave, and let's see if they come this way once the come down to check if they've flushed us out? They wouldn't try to drown their own pets, I hope."
If there isn't any immediate objection Tarin clambers up the steps to the former wolf lair.
He dispatches Cahoots to the western tunnel south of the bridge to see if spots anything as he glides silently along. (Stealth: 17)
"Get to safety everyone! If you all can go up the chimney to flank the evil little creatures then do so. I have nothing to fear from the water though and will try to help friend Penumbra!" With that Bankur dashes up the tunnel towards the pools.
"Little bastards! I been on deck in worse storms 'an they can make from this trickle!" Raldaen shouts as he backs up and enters the wolf den. "Penumbra! Don't get yerself caught alone lass!"
Penumbra hurls one of her daggers at the closest goblin then moves back into the tunnel between the room with the pools and the bridge. As she moves she readies her bow.
Salty Joe will Dash up along the path near the stream. When he sees Pebumbra he goes, "Whatever it is you want to do kid, do it now." Giving the rogue a bardic inspiration. Then he draws his rapier.
Penumbra, your dagger misses and the goblins knock the stones loose on the first dam.
Rand, Raldean and Tarin duck back into the cavern where the wolves were. Bankur and Salty Joe run further into the cavern to try and aid Penumbra, but Bankur soon loses the light and has to stop. Just after Salty Joe passes under the bridge and starts to move to the east, the passage is suddenly filled with a mighty roar, as a huge surge of rushing water pours down the tunnel! (Salty and Bankur, make a DC 15 Strength saving throw to hold on or be swept away by the torrent. On a failed save, you are knocked prone and washed down to the area just outside of the cave mouth, taking 6 bludgeoning damage along the way.
Upon seeing the flood wave go past (and possibly part of his crew too), Raldaen calls to Tarin, as he starts making his way towards the chimney with his crossbow ready. "One flea-ridden bugbear, a mangy dog, and two more o' those walking green pieces of excrement? I be thinkin' a few pot shots wud have 'em dancin'."
Rand hears Penumbra's warning and turns to see Raldaen running for the wolf den. "If a sailor is running from a wave, I think I better follow suit!" Once there, he asks, "So we're going up the hole? Want me to guard our backs while you two go first?"

Bankur - you're up!
Love God. Love Others. Any Questions?
Bankur steps up into the cave mouth a bit, utters a quick prayer under his breath, and fires his crossbow at whichever goblin is in line of sight.
Attack: 19 Damage: 9
In her anger at the perceived death of Cahoots Penumbra hardly notices the goblin arrow lodged in her thigh. She draws her daggers and rushes forward closing to melee range with the closest goblin and attcks him with both blades.

Two weapon fighting Attack: 7 Damage: 3
