Rohuzar shouts back towards his allies. “Bear traps are on the ground!” He points only briefly, running into the house to swing his axe at the nearest goblin.
With the hostilities underway, Leelan sees Cliff hit the ground. He decides to move further in (4 hexes northeast, 1 north) and use the cover of the bushes (??). As Cliff is still a bit to far off to help, Leelan will release an arrow at one of the goblins in the barn (the one on the left).
From his hidden position Aubrey unleashes a beam of golden crackling force towards the eastermost goblin. Eldritch blast: 14 Force: 6 (Rolled with advantage if considered hidden, otherwise go with first roll)
The goblins in the barn bark and snarl at one another, seemingly angry at having missed Kiteborne below. Then an arrow sails in from the treeline to the north and pierces one of them. Their noises stop as they both turn in shock and look for the new attacker. At that moment a blast of Eldritch force rips out from behind a tree and slams the same goblin. He staggers and drops his bow… it clatters down the side of the barn to the ground below.
Kiteborne runs to Cliff’s side and attempts to drag him into the nearby bushes for cover. Athletics: 2
But he is not able to get them both into cover this turn.
Cliff: 8
Rohuzar lifts his axe and charges into the open door of the farmhouse. A grinning goblin is peering out the doorway, admiring his shot that took out Cliff - then goes bug-eyed as a furious green Orc appears as if out of nowhere and slashes him, cutting a ragged groove in his yellowy flesh. He drops his bow and flails desperately for a dagger at his side. The building is empty but for another goblin - who is gaping at Rohuzar’s sudden attack - and a couple of benches pulled up where the goblins had been waiting in ambush.

Guilim will move closer towards the building nearest him, pulling free one of the javelin he carries with him. If he can get close within 30 feet and see the goblins he will throw it. If not he will hold his action until he gets a chance to attack.
Guilim, hungry for some action, runs up below the window of the barn and launches a javelin, which plunges into the chest of the already wounded goblin. He screeches and falls forward out and down, crashing into the ground next to his bow.
The other goblin in the window surveys the scene below. He turns and shouts into the barn, "Molo kai! Skee-va! Skee-va! Molo no karakas!" And then disappears from view, deeper into the barn. From inside the barn, there is the sound of chains rattling. Then one of the double doors opens wide, revealing a little of the interior. Another goblin is inside on the ground floor, unchaining a pair of Giant Rats!
One of the goblins inside the farmhouse, the one not engaged with Rohuzar, leaps forward out the open window and dashes into the open barn door and out of sight.
The other goblin is trapped as Rohuzar is blocking the doorway. Already maimed by Rohuzar'saxe, it licks its dagger with a long grey tongue. "Orc dog..." it rasps in common before stabbing out toward him. Attack: 20 Damage: 5

Leelan will move to Cliff, Kiteborne and Grugga’s side. He notices that the human is bleeding out and decides to use the last bit of magic he has left to save him.
"I can help him. Grugga, keep your strength for those malcontent savages. You’ll need it."
He presses his hands on the wounded and manifests small arcs of static electricity. With a thrusts he sends an impulse at the man’s heart, hoping to reinvigorate it.
Guilim will move towards the door, getting as close as possible before stopping. He will ready his halberd and then wait until something makes its way within ten feet of him and attack.
(Incase I don't get a chance to post during my break here is his hold action attack.)
Aubrey repositions to get a clear shot at the barn door (ending up 6 hexes straight east) ready do blast anything that comes out of it. Eldritch blast: 22 Force: 4
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Leelan uses his ranger magic and studies of biology to kickstart Cliff’s heart. The nimble fighter awakens with a start, then climbs to his feet and moves toward the outside of the farmhouse to seek cover.
Kiteborne creeps toward the open barn door (avoiding the bear traps) and looses a bolt from his light crossbow at the goblin visibility inside the barn. Attack: 22 Damage: 8
Guilim moves up alongside Kiteborne, ready to lash out at anything coming out the doors….
Stabbed by the goblin, Rohuzar roars and brings his axe down on the goblin. He nearly catches the doorframe with his powerful swing, but the strike it true and his axe sinks deep into the shoulder and chest of the spiteful goblin, who gives a final hiss and dies with a curse on his lips.
(Aubrey and Grugga are up, then rats and back around to the goblins)

"Thanks, Leelan" Grugga says as he takes off toward the barn door. Grugga will stand at the outside of the door with his axe raised above his head, ready to strike anything that comes out. ((Action held to ready an attack; trigger, any enemy that comes out of the barn door))
The two Giant Rats, released from their chains, squeak with a joy that only a monstrous rat could understand as they bound out of the open barn door. One twitches it’s nose and takes off in the direction of the farmhouse and all the spilled blood inside…
… and the two rats run right into Guilim and Grugga. Guilim separates on rat head from its body with a well-timed chop from his halberd. The body continues to hop forward before spilling into a clumsy pile and ceases to move. Grugga sinks his axe into the neck of the other rat. It’s it’s turns it head and squeaks at him in shock… but then a blast from Aubrey blows right through its side and it too collapses.
(LOL… goodbye, rats. We hardly knew ye)
With all surviving goblins back inside the barn, the barn door slams shut behind the rats. There is the sound of chains rattling, more shouts in goblin, and then the sound of another door slamming from somewhere inside.

Aubrey hurries forward to the barn door. "Are you okay Rohuzar, are you sure we should pursue them inside, it could be another trap." He says, but then he helps the orc with the barn door. Perception: 16
After spending a round shaking the barn doors, Rohuzar and Aubrey loosen the chain wrapped around the other side. It falls to the ground and the double doors now open freely. While the other three members of your party gathered at the doors, Kiteborne prepared with his crossbow in case any surprises waited inside. Cliff picked up a stick and tripped the nearest bear trap in case you all need to beat a hasty retreat.
Inside the barn is... empty. Of goblins, anyway. The floor is covered with dirty hay and straw that reeks of goblin. Several large coils of chain lie just inside the doorway where the rats had been corralled. Further inside, a barrel of what looks like onions sits overturned and spilled all over the floor. Next to it is a barrel of some sort of spirit. It is stunningly high-proof and the scent of alcohol tickles your noses and permeates the interior of the barn... the top of the barrel is pried off and some wooden and tin cups lie about where goblins dropped them in a hurry.
History DC 12
This might be Groolak, or Goblin Fire Wine. No one knows exactly how the goblins make it but even the dwarves - who harbor no love for goblins - concede it is one of the strongest brews that can be consumed without [more than a slight] risk of death.
In the center of the floor lies the corpse of a human man - the courier from earlier. On your left is a ladder leading up to the loft and the upper windows from where the goblins had launched their sneak attack. Beneath the loft is the remains of a large wagon and an ox. The goblins seem to have been picking at both the ox and the wagon for food and materials in equal measure. The loft is empty.
In the corner behind the barrel of hooch is a trapdoor in the floor, partially concealed by piles of hay. A few more empty cups lie here along with a bow and a spilled quiver of arrows.
The barn is quiet.
