Tock:
We will use theater of the mind here instead of drawing up a map. All cover will be 1/2 cover in this impromptu fight. Tock will start with 1/2 cover. The watch will be alerted at the end of 3 rounds and arrive at the end of 6 rounds. The order will be G2 and G4, then Tock, then G3 and Wart.
Tock's bolt strikes the female goblin in the shoulder wounding her, but not so severely that she falls. The goblins all turn to see where it came from. Goblins 2 & 4 find cover in a cellar stairwell and behind a food cart respectively, then return fire at Tock with light crossbows (against 1/2 cover...all cover will be half in this impromptu fight).
He rolls across the alley to be behind a barrel and stays prone (bonus action hide: 29). He will take another shot at the female (Wart?), loading another +1 bolt: Attack: 23 Damage: 25
Wart halves the damage with uncanny dodge (reaction).
Wart takes another bolt with a grunt. She is definitely wounded by the two shots but does not fall. She yells, "With me!" and charges at Tock, goblin 3 on her heels.
Goblin 3 attacks Tock with a short sword.
Shortsword Attack: 24 Damage: 8 (hit)
Wart swings a shortsword at Tock's back, crackling with black energy at the kenku. "Murderer!" she cries as she attacks with rage in her eyes.
Shortsword Attack: 25 Damage: 27 (hit)
Magical words roll off her tongue and a beam of divine energy shoots skyward through Tock for an additional 9 divine damage.
As a bonus action, she casts Searing Smite for 1 fire damage on failing a CON(15) check: 7 (fail) Roll a CON (15) check every round. The spell ends on a save and Tock takes 1d6 fire damage on a fail.
Round 2:
Goblin 2 and goblin 4 both fire their crossbows again (Tock still has 1/2 cover).
Light crossbow Attack: 23 Damage: 9 (Hit)
Light crossbow Attack: 9 Damage: 6 (miss)
Tock's CON(15) check for round 2: 20 or suffer 4 fire damage. The searing smite fire has gone out.
.. casts dimension door to get to a rooftop on a building on the corner of the street, out of sight. He will then bonus action Hide and not move a muscle. stealth check: 26
"Where'd he go?" says goblin 3. He tries to hide (bonus action): 9
"Are you okay, Wart?" goblin 2 says.
Wart ducks down behind the barrel and a surge of divine magic passes through her. "That was...amazing!" she says. She scrambles to hide (bonus action): 21
Round 3:
"We need to get out of here," shouts goblin 4.
Both goblins 2 and 4 also hide (bonus action): 21 and 10

Martin and Dog:
"Well, I can't draw worth a damn, but he was clean shaven...he's a halfling after all...with blond hair, well-trimmed but pulled into a pony tail. He has light blue eyes and wears fine shirts and pants, though no shoes. Again, he's a halfling. He carried a ledger with him. i couldn't guess his age, though he wore no spectacles."

Tock...
.. takes a shot at one of the fleeing goblins: Attack: 29 Damage: 26
.. and ... instructs Wart to come up to the roof of the building Tock himself is on. He then hides once again to observe the situation (stealth check: 28.
(I don't know what Wart has available to him, but she's pretty resourceful)
Tock strikes a goblin behind the ear, felling it as it runs.
Wart takes more than 3 rounds looking for a way up to the roof. Two watchmen arrive before she has located how to ascend. They are the same two from the gate.
"What is going on here?" says one.
Dead goblins cause them to begin locking down the area as more whistles sound in the distance. Goblin 4 escapes before they arrive.
Wart continues to look for a way up in spite of the watch's repeated attempts to ask her what has happened. They draw their swords.
There are 2 rounds left on Tock's spell over Wart.

Tock fires a bolt into Wart's thigh and she then attacks the guard again.
Wart WIS(17) save: 11
Wart WIS(17) save: 15
Both the guard striking her and Tock's bolt lodging in her thigh wake Wart from her stupor. He shoulders sag as she drops to her knees, hands falling into her lap. She looks at her bloodied sword and fallen brother and hangs her head, weeping.
The guards lift her and drag her away in cuffs, bringing her equipment and the fallen bodies of her brothers. It take about 20 minutes to arrest and clean the scene.
.. is not waiting around at all after he takes the shot. He will cast Pass without Trace and find a way down the building or continue along the rooftops to follow the one that got away. He will use Cloak of Shadows if need be to get going, but he will try to chase that one down and take him out. He still looks like a goblin himself.
Martin finds Ronis right where he left him, waiting for them to come out. "Well, find anything? I didn't want to go in because, uh, bad history. You'd already gone inside, but Tock said he was going to go take care of things; I assume he's apprehending them now? He didn't really say where he was going, or seem to require help, and I very quickly lost track of him, so I figured I'd wait to tell you."
