Corallon wrinkles his brow when the goblin shrugs off the call of the goddess. He realizes that perhaps another approach is needed--he again calls on the power of the Tender of Dreams. He directs divine magic to appear behind the goblins, so that the spell's area of effect will not reach the brave souls battling them. The power of the dream goddess reaches out to the goblins, attempting to pull them under into the realm of sleep.
OOC: Casting Sleep, positioning area of effect so that it reaches goblins but not the others fighting them.
If the bard is still standing, Berdach will go after him and attack him with the rapier. Otherwise, he will go after the nearest goblin: Attack: 16 Damage: 5
Rudi's magic missile strikes true, and Berdach is able to slay the drummer with his rapier.
Corallon's sleep puts the three remaining goblins under a magical slumber.
Suddenly, you all hear cries for help coming from north of the town square. There, you see a well-dressed man cowering behind a rain barrel, as a goblin riding a rat-like dog and three other goblins approach him. A mastiff lays on the ground, slain.
Goblin Commando Initiative: 10 Goblin Dog Initiative: 16
Nerra, rushing towards the call for help, lifts a hand, sending another blast of eldritch power out, this time at the goblin on the dog... eldritch blast
Attack: 12 Damage: 8 Plus 2 thunder from Geni's Wrath.
If the goblin on the dog is not down yet, she will then use her mental push to push him away from her, and off of the dog. DC 13 Str save or pushed 5 feet away or towards Nerra, which ever moves him off of the dog. if he is down, she will push a different goblin.
Ssej look up at the screaming and then rushed toward thre goblin rider and launches a roundhouse kick at it and then finish the roundhouse with a tail slap as well.
The combined efforts of Nerra and Ssej take down the goblin rider! It is hit by eldritch blast, and although it is able to resist her telekinetic shove, it quickly has its neck snapped by Ssej's unarmed strikes!
With the last arrow piercing her still a fresh memory, Nerra hears the twang of the bowstring and immediately ducks, feeling the feathers brush her shoulder as the arrow zipps past.
Corallon moves forward into the fray. The towering firbolg raises his warhammer with one hand and attempts to smash the savage goblin dog while defending himself with his shield.
If she can target the bow in the goblin's hands, she will try to shove it away, and out of the goblin's grasp, if she cannot do so, she will shove which ever goblin is still standing, the bow-holding one as her first choice. STR 13 save.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ssej hisses at the dog creature in pain and reaches out to do a bite attack hoping to rend some flesh off its hide and then smash it even further with a tail swipe.
Unarmed Bite (Hungry Jaws): Attack: 6 Damage: 8
BA Tail Swipe: Attack: 9 Damage: 3
Ssej tears a chunk out of the dogs hide and eats it and you can see a few of his wounds heal a bit. [Gain 2 HP's}]
Nerra obliterates GobH with a blast of eldritch energy. Seeing the goblin going after the unarmed--save for a walking cane--well-dressed man, she attempts to shove it over. STR save: 2 It is shoved over!
Ssej takes a chunk out of the goblin dog, already resisting its negative effects once, not needing to resist them again. He kills the hideous creature!
GobG goes after Ssej again, using its dogslicer blade. Attack: 11 Damage: 7
GobI stands up and, snarling at Nerra, begins to charge at her with his blade. As he moves out of the well-dressed man's range, he bops it with his cane. Attack: 14 Damage: 4 He hits! The goblin turns back at him and snarls, and moves to attack him! Attack: 9 Damage: 3 But the goblin misses!
For his turn, the well-dressed man will attempt to bop the goblin again. Attack: 10 Damage: 3 He will miss, however.
Corallon lets out a somewhat satisfied grunt when the lizardfolk fells the goblins' hound.
"Well met,"he says. "May Desna aid you on your journey!"A soft glow of divine energy infuses the monk with healing energy.
The firbolg whirls and steps toward the nearest goblin, swinging his warhammer once more, seemingly equally comfortable in the light of healing or the dark of combat.
"Villagers! Guards!"he calls out over the din. "Those goblins will wake up soon! Take care!"

Berdach will again use his rapier to attack the goblin who is going after the well-dressed man: Attack: 10 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll. plus sneak attack damage: 3
Corallon slays GobG with a mighty swing of his hammer, while Rudi and Berdach are able to work together to slay GobI before it attacks the well-dressed man again.
With the goblins slain, the chaos dies down somewhat. For the sake of expediency, we'll say the sleeping goblins are slain without much issue, and the fire on the wagon is successfully put out.
The streets are pretty empty by this point, save for the odd body or two of the goblins' victims. It seems many people fled indoors. You see a few goblins in the distance, but they are running away, out of town, seemingly fleeing a failed raid.
You hear the sound of clapping. It grows faster and louder, and you realize it's the well-dressed man. "Magnificent! Absolutely magnificent!" he cries out. "I thought I was going to be 'goblined' for sure!" He approaches Nerra, taking her hand gently. "Aldern Foxglove, at your service, my lady. And to you all, of course!"
As Aldern speaks, people begin to peek through doors and, seeing its safe, start trickling slowly into the streets.
"Yes, come out! It is safe once more in Sandpoint, thanks to the goblin slayers!" Aldern begins to clap again, and the people join him. Cheers rise out of the growing crowd, and the five of you suddenly find yourselves the center of everyone's attention.

Rudi raises his staff and a brief rumble of the ground beneath the dog accompanies a sound of a death knell.
