Grabha lets out a cry of surprise as Grimm's voice rapidly rises in octave until his ears are ringing, but he is able to focus his mind and push away the pain. "Treachery! Half-orc have no honor!" As Grimm releases her hold on the rope, the goblins sense their moment has come and while they cannot seem to currently overcome their fear of the terrifying half-orc, they rush as one into the cavern to get away from her. (You can take an Attack of Opportunity against Green goblin if you want.) Grabha shoves the old human to the ground behind him and rushes down the steps, drawing a wicked looking scimitar from his side as he does! He skids to a stop next to Grimm, ducking beneath her shield and slicing deep into her torso! "Hah! Grabha better than half-orc!"
Attack: 17 Damage: 1

Grimm takes a total of 7 damage from the attack. For whatever reason, the attack syntax didn't actually roll the damage die so I had to roll a d6 after the fact. Grimm, you only take 4 damage, not 7. Ignore the second die roll.. Sorry guys!
Let's go ahead and have everyone roll Initiative at this point in case someone decides to intercede.

Grimm's initiative.... 17
Grimm abstains from taking an attack of opportunity instead calling out, "You'd let this fool lead you! There are better among you who can lead this tribe to glory!"
Grimm takes the goblin's attack and does her best to not flinch at the pain.
Nene, hidden in the shadows just at the entrance of the cave, holds her breath, arrow drawn. Will the goblins attack or can Puck's friend defeat their leader? If the party should come under attack, she will fire her arrow.
Grimm watches as one of the captive goblins (Purple) begins moving further into the cavern and almost immediately one of the others (Blue) begin to untie the rope binding its hands. Another non-captive goblin (Orange) moves up next to Grimm with a wicked smile, blocking any further access to the tunnels, but not getting involved in the duel between Grimm and Grabha. Meanwhile Grabha, fueled by his first success feints another low swing to cause Grimm to start bringing her shield down to block, but at the last second the scimitar diverts to an upward stroke and cuts across Grimm's neck and face! Immediately the impact from the blow knocks Grimm unconscious and blood begins to pour from the wound...
Grabha cackles wildly and begins to dance around, spinning in a circle and slinging some of Grimm's blood onto his fellow goblins. "Grabha is Chief! Grabha should killed silly bugbear long ago!" He turns and points his blade at Kara. "You now part of Cragmaw clan, bow before Grabha or Grabha kill this one!" He puts his foot atop Grimm's face.
Grimm, you took 7 damage which drops you to 0 HP. I need you to make a Death Save. Bolded members are up!
Nene lets out a loud shriek when Grimm is struck, alerting the party members closest to her presence. Without thinking, she fires her arrow at Grabha. She catches him by surprise and the arrow pierces deep into his neck. His victory dance stops short. The young tabaxi glances over at Puck with wide eyes, gauging his reaction apprehensively.
... the impact from the blow SEEMS TO knock Grimm unconscious AS blood begins to pour from the wound...
Grabha cackles wildly and begins to dance around, spinning in a circle and slinging some of Grimm's blood onto his fellow goblins. "Grabha is Chief! Grabha should killed silly bugbear long ago!" He turns and points his blade at Kara. "You now part of Cragmaw clan, bow before Grabha or Grabha kill this one!" He puts his foot atop Grimm's face.
Grimm sways in place for a moment as her eyes begin to roll back, when she suddenly let's out a guttural blood curdling roar into the face of her adversary, then squaring off, displaying her heritage's relentless endurance, her shield steady in one hand and her mace in the other.
Suddenly, there's a shriek followed by the sound of moving air and the sudden splattering of crimson as blood gushes out of Grabha's neck.
Grimm coughs some blood and says to Grabha with a smile, "Wasn't expecting to see that, but that's damn funny."
Puck jumps at the sound of the shriek, and turns to look where it came from. He swears he sees an familiar face peaking around the bend in the hallway.
"...Nene?"
Puck shakes his head; his eyes must be deceiving him. He turns back to his group, seeing things are going south now that Grahba's been attacked. He knows an all-out assault is next. He extends his claws, grabs onto the wall behind him, climbs up 5 ft, and then along the wall until he is right above the wobbly-but-conscious Grimm. He says "excuse me ladies" as he passes Kara and Grimm.
Now positioned on the wall above Grimm, he pulls his lute forward with one free hand, bites his fangs into the strings, and pulls. A dissonant, horrible screech echoes through the cave in the direction of the goblins as the strings of his lute snap one by one. The horrible noise coalesces into a wave of thunderous force blasting out from the lute.
Puck casts Thunderwave in the 15ft cube to the west of Grimm. DC 13 CON Save, on fail, take 6 and pushed 10ft, on success, take half damage and not pushed.
Kara was tense until that arrow came. She felt shame at the relief which came at another's pain, but little choice was offered. She utters a silent prayer for this Grabha as she rushes toward them with her morningstar.

Grabha gasps and chokes as an unseen arrow sprouts from his throat and before he could react further, the demon woman stepped up with a morningstar and crushed his skull just as he was raising his shield to block the attack! As his fleeting moment of victory and life force was ebbing away, the last thing Grabha witnessed was a huge cat climbing the wall, that was strange... before a thunderous cacophony ripped through the small cavern! Several goblins were thrown away from Puck's blast as everyone within grabs their ringing ears as the horrible sound continued to echo in the small space.
Before the echoing fully ceased, the goblins were on the move! Two of them rush up towards Kara and Grimm with their scimitars slashing in the darkness, but neither could seem to find any purchase with their attacks! They immediately Disengage from the enemies and fall back. A third goblin climbs the steps along the area near Sildar and fires an arrow from the higher ground, but once again the attack is rushed and the arrow clatters against the nearby wall.
Grimm staggers on her feet and eyes the carnage on the floor, commenting, "Well, he did best me, but I guess we're in the thick of it now."
She eyes three goblins that seem to be readying to attack (GREEN, YELLOW, BLUE) and from beneath her armor a dark energy seems to glow briefly... Suddenly, from an emblem on her shield dark energy shoots out and tries to envelope them with BANE!
She then moves back through the passage fifteen feet to allow room for Zanigur and the others to square up and take aim.

One goblin takes the scimitar from his companion and rushes forward to engage Kara, but his attack is rushed and clangs into the stone wall nearby, sending chips of stone flying in all directions. Another goblin, who appears to barely be standing takes an offered shortbow and begins heading up the steps to send an arrow flying towards Kara; however, once again the attack wasn't lined up properly and the arrow bounces off the wall above!

Zanigur lines up a shot against the goblin threatening Kara and the arrow pierces deep into the creature's shoulder as it howls in pain, looking very much it is about to collapse from its injuries. Meanwhile, a different goblin rushes up to Kara with its curved blade as it attempts to slice into her; however, much like his companion the attack is hurried and misses! Before anyone can react to the miss, the goblin scurries away just as quickly as it had popped into view! One goblin then fires an arrow up at Puck, still clinging to the wall and the arrow penetrates into Puck's thigh, burning as it works against the tense muscle fibers! A third goblin fires at Kara and this one took the time to line up the shot as this arrow finds a weak spot in the chink of her armor and buries into her shoulder!
Kara takes 5 Piercing damage and Puck takes 5 Piercing damage.
As the goblin weapons clang against Kara's armor and shield or as they comically miss her in their bloodlust, Kara can only shake her head in pity of these fools. Finally, an arrow strikes true through the open areas of her armor and a small gasp escapes her lips of surprise. She staggers somewhat and realizes that she should take these small, unforgiven fools more seriously. She strikes the goblin nearest her (perhaps prioritizing the weakest one) with her morningstar.
"Drop your weapons and seek Ilmater's forgiveness!"

Puck let's out a cry as the arrow pierces his thigh, and he drops from the wall, landing clean on all fours. He watches as Kara lays waste to the goblin in front of her.
"I think we may be the ones who will need to ask for Ilmater's forgiveness."
Puck scrambles forward into the cavern, trains his shortbow on the goblin to his north.
"Though better to ask for forgiveness than for permission!"
He looses an arrow at the goblin, and then scampers back out of the cavern and up the hallway towards the rest of his friends, including his old acquaintance Nene, who he can now see clearly standing behind Grimm and Zanigur.
Nene scampers past Grimm when she hears Puck cry out in pain, ready to throw herself at the goblins. He remembers me! Before she reaches Kara, she almost smacks into Puck as he comes charging back into the tunnel. "Puck! I followed you!" She grins at him, a little shyly. "It took me a while to find you, and then I kept missing you each time, but I finally caught up to you!" The young tabaxi readies an arrow, aiming at the entrance of the cave. "Don't worry, I've got your back now!"
(Nene stops one square in front of Grimm. Readied action to fire the arrow if a goblin comes into the tunnel/into line of sight.)

Kara and Puck work to quickly take down two more goblins, one falling with a crushed skull and the other to an arrow through the eye socket! One of the goblins (Light Blue) rushed up to Kara with his scimitar leading and ready to strike her down, but just as he reaches the paladin an arrow streaks down the tunnel and pierces its throat! The monstrous creature drops its weapon and falls to its knees clutching at the foreign object. One goblin (Red)fires from above while another (Dark Red) fires an arrow from the side , but Kara is now focused after receiving the first wound and catches both of them upon her shield easily! Seeing that they both immediately retreat to the higher ground and vanish from your sight!
