As Jurgen catches his footing, Draco takes a nasty bite out of one of the bosses; simultaneously Kimberley strolls in and brains the other one, nearest the door, killing it on the spot.
Syzygy as Glasstaff, curious to see how far deceit would take him, goes looking for a goblin. He steps hastily through the door and announces with some volume "Quickly now, Cragmaw is under attack, I wizard Glasstaff, by order of The Spider, must interrogate the dwarven prisoner. Show me."
Persuasion: 18
[ooc. that's a bit of a long speech but if I can add a held action as well that would be sweet: Subtle Spell [i guess the V S components happen in the spell prep?] Magic Missile 2, 2, 5, force damage. Trigger: if the goblin attempts to attack rather than assist. I'll knock off a spell slot now. I'm not sure what turn that goblin at, or how 'following' during combat would work.]
The goblin looks wide-eyed at Syzygy before pointing to the ground by Syzygy's feet and replying "Look out for the..." in thick Common.
But it's too late. A newly-disturbed tripwire against the toe of Syzygy's boot triggers a cave-in of wooden beams and heavy stones on top of him. Syzygy: make a DC 10 Dexterity save or take13 bludgeoning damage from the falling rubble (half as much damage on a successful save).
"...follow me," it then instructs, pointing north toward a door.
Just as Syzygy looks at the door it bursts open, revealing four well-armed hobgoblins bearing chainmail, shields, longswords, and longbows. They turn to Syzygy aggressively before his goblin guide waves them off with a few words in Goblin. Three of them then charge down the hall toward the fray (Dash). One holds back to fire an arrow at Bryony, who, due to the doorframe, has half-cover in the next room.
Hobgoblin longbow attack vs. Bryony: 18. Hit: 4 piercing damage. (Bryony has +2 AC for this shot.)
Meanwhile, the bosses jump out of their former hiding spots. One engages Bryony, one Jurgen, and the badly wounded one attacks Draco.
Goblin Boss #4: Scimitar Attack #1 vs. Bryony: 15. Hit: 8 slashing damage. Goblin Boss #4: Scimitar Attack #2 vs. Bryony: 14. Hit: 6 slashing damage.
Goblin Boss #5: Scimitar Attack #1 vs. Jurgen: 13. Hit: 7 slashing damage. Goblin Boss #5: Scimitar Attack #2 vs. Jurgen: 7. Hit: 7 slashing damage.
Goblin Boss #2: Scimitar Attack #1 vs. Draco: 5. Hit: 8 slashing damage. Goblin Boss #2: Scimitar Attack #2 vs. Draco: 14. Hit: 3 slashing damage.
Then they disengage, backing off into the corner of this ruined makeshift dormitory, making way for the hobgoblins' arrival.
Bryony and Quinn are up next! (And Syzygy, roll that save!)
Quinn climbs atop the filthy table to take a shot over Kimberley's head at the tough-looking boss in the corner. It manages to see it and duck, and the arrow flies cleanly through the arrow slit behind. Then Quinn climbs back down and squats behind the table (half cover).
Meanwhile, Glasstaff/Syzygy dusts himself off, somewhat worse for wear. "Follow me!" cries the goblin speaking with him, and races into what appears to be a storeroom to the north.
Bryony, Kimberly, Jurgen, Draco, and Syzygy may act next!
Jurgen and Draco also move the cots and attack the left most (Jurgen) and middle (Draco) goblins.
Jurgen strikes out with Greenflame on his sword (14 to hit and 11 damage). Draco is not able to get a good line on the other goblin (8 to hit with 8 damage)
Kimberley, Jurgen, and Draco corner the trio of well-armored goblin bosses against the wall of the filthy dormitory. Alas, they are too quick and well-armored for their blows to injure them. (One of them is already quite badly injured, however.)
“Wait! They’re better left alive for information.” Syzygy exclaims as he takes a pinch of the crumbled dust at his feet. “Sleep or surrender, meddling fools” he yells and blows the dust off his fingers in the direction of his friends. “They’re to weak to fight. Lock them with the dwarf.”
action: sleep 19 hp. [ooc pretty sure I could aim it a point within range that gets everyone, lowest hp to highest.]
movement : syzygy would move as far as the northern door, following the goblin, but then wait to see how everything plays out.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Bryony, Kimberley, Quinn, and the lead hobgoblin collapse, limp, to the dirty stone floor, unconscious. Only Jurgen and Draco remain standing, and receive the brunt of the attack.
In the room to the north, Syzygy sees old casks and sacks of rotting grain filling a storage room, along with a jumbled pile of gear (armor and weapons). To the west, through open doors, he can see a small room is littered with debris and another containing four plain straw pallets and bedrolls lined up on the floor of another barrack. Brackets on the walls hold more weapons: spears, swords, morningstars, etc.
Meanwhile, the goblin bosses and hobgoblins pile on Jurgan and Draco: Goblin Boss #4: Scimitar Attack #1 vs. Draco: 24. Hit: 6 slashing damage. Goblin Boss #4: Scimitar Attack #2 vs. Draco: 9. Hit: 4 slashing damage. Goblin Boss #5: Scimitar Attack #1 vs. Draco: 10. Hit: 8 slashing damage. Goblin Boss #5: Scimitar Attack #2 vs. Draco: 16. Hit: 4 slashing damage.
Goblin Boss #2: Scimitar Attack #1 vs. Jurgen: 24. Hit: 8 slashing damage. Goblin Boss #2: Scimitar Attack #2 vs. Jurgen: 11. Hit: 3 slashing damage.

Seeing they were getting surrounded Kimberley growled like a trapped animal, she turned and grabbed the hobgoblin behind her around the skull sinking shadowy claws into the bone....
“Alive for questioning!” Syzygy yells before further following the two goblins to the NE door. he then does something he has never done before and says a silent prayer to Selûne.
Jurgen BA will be to let out a Draconic Cry (Everyone has ADV on any enemies within 10' of me)
Jurgen will wake Kimberly (Presume Free Action)
Action (if not already taken) will be to cast Green Flame Blade and strike the Hobgoblin next to me (25 to hit with 11 damage) PLUS 5 damage to the Hobgoblin next to him.
(Awakening a magically sleep-affected PC is an action, alas. It takes some effort for Jurgen to shake Kimberley awake.) As Draco is smashed into pieces, Kimberley awakens, prone. Surrounded, the goblins and hobgoblins try to subdue Jurgen and Kimberley.
Hobgoblin #4: Longsword Attack vs. Jurgen: 20. Hit: 13 slashing damage (nonlethal) Hobgoblin #3: Longbow Attack vs. Jurgen: 20. Hit: 7 piercing damage (nonlethal) Goblin Boss #2: Scimitar Attack #1 vs. Jurgen: 21. Hit: 4 slashing damage. (nonlethal) Goblin Boss #2: Scimitar Attack #2 vs. Jurgen: 12. Hit: 5 slashing damage. (nonlethal)
Goblin Boss #4: Scimitar Attack #1 vs. Kimberley: 11. Hit: 4 slashing damage. (nonlethal) Goblin Boss #4: Scimitar Attack #2 vs. Kimberley: 22. Hit: 7 slashing damage. (nonlethal)
Goblin Boss #5 tries to Grapple Kimberley. Goblin Athletics: 13
Hobgoblin #2 lifts unconscious Bryony and slumps her over his shoulder with one hand.
Glassstaff/Syzygy disappears with the goblins to the north. Quinn snoozes in the other room.

Bryony and Quinn are up next! (And Syzygy, roll that save!)
Dex Save 5.
The full force of rubble lands on Syzygy and he holds grip on his current form.
Concentration: 15
Quinn moves a few labored steps to the southwest. He positions himself by the table nearest to Kimberly. He draws his bow and aims at the goblins.
IF he cannot safely target the goblins from this vantage, he will step up onto the table to gain a clear line of sight.
He aims and fires.
To hit: 15 for 6 damage. (If the target is below their max HP, the target takes an additions 1 damage for a total of 7 damage)
Quinn will then duck down for cover behind the table (if possible)
Pronouns: he/him/his
Pud - lvl 7 Human Artificer - Alchemist (The Wild Beyond the Witchlight).
Quinn - lvl 4 Human Ranger - Hunter (Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk)
Quinn climbs atop the filthy table to take a shot over Kimberley's head at the tough-looking boss in the corner. It manages to see it and duck, and the arrow flies cleanly through the arrow slit behind. Then Quinn climbs back down and squats behind the table (half cover).
Meanwhile, Glasstaff/Syzygy dusts himself off, somewhat worse for wear. "Follow me!" cries the goblin speaking with him, and races into what appears to be a storeroom to the north.

Hobgoblin #3: Longbow Attack vs. Jurgen: 8. Hit: 6 piercing damage.
The third hobgoblin (#2) pauses (Dodge) and carefully surveys the battlefield.
Everyone who is conscious may act.
Seeing they were getting surrounded Kimberley growled like a trapped animal, she turned and grabbed the hobgoblin behind her around the skull sinking shadowy claws into the bone....
Inflict Wounds Attack: 8 Damage: 19
Kimberley lunges for the charging hobgoblin, only to find herself sinking into shadow, instead, falling off into a dark, dreamless sleep.
Syzygy and Jurgen may act next!
“Alive for questioning!” Syzygy yells before further following the two goblins to the NE door. he then does something he has never done before and says a silent prayer to Selûne.
