Solace walks to the center of the room longsword drawn, "if you can hear me I've been sent to help," she calls out to whomever killed the goblin moving towards the female coming from the pantry. "Put. That. Down." she'll say forcefully intimidation 22

"Arg!" The goblin throws herself on the bag of loot. "No no no!" Then a look of confusion animates her face. "You...help Gum-Gum?" The goblin scratches her head. "Y-you come to carry Gum-Gum's bag for Gum-Gum?"
She looks from Solace to the sack, utterly confused and obviously terrified.
The initiative order is Rip, Beedo the Goblin, Jorji, Seviari, Flint, and the other goblin.
Positioning: Flint is inside the back bedroom engaged with Beedo The Goblin, Rip and Seviari are at the door, and Jorji is just behind them.
Rip and Beedo have already taken their turns, and Flint is spoken for (he really wants to ring that bell!). Just need Jorji & Seviari to speak up as to their turns before we progress.//
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Solace will call up the steps, "is there anyone from Nightstone here," she calls out in common before holding her longsword at Gum-Gum, "why do goblins always have to be so cute," she'll say before stabbing the goblin with her longsword attack 19 ; 5 damage
Jorji easily dispatched the goblin, bypassing a swipe of its scimitar and spinning to deliver a swipe and a stab with his own blades. The scimitar fell to the ground, and Jorji pulled his sword from the dead goblin's torso.
Meanwhile...
As Solace wiped her blade clean of poor, deceased Gum-Gum's blood, she heard no answer from anyone for a moment. Then, soft footsteps could be heard overhead, coming down the stairs.
Descending the second flight of stairs and turning the corner at the mid-way landing, a human comes into view. She is pale with blonde hair, wears traveling clothes over leathers, and has a snake-like creature coiled around her left arm. She is holding her head, where a nasty bruise is blooming just to the right of her forehead.
She carries a small crossbow in her left hand, and a shortsword hangs at her hip.
"Hello," she greets Solace tentetively as she comes down the lower flight. "...Are the goblins all gone?"
"In here I think so, I don't think the village is yet free," Solace replies lowering her sword but not putting it away. "What's you name," she asks next. Insight does she seem shady or like a villager 7

Taking the hit, Flint pushes through pain and grabs onto the bell, repeating the goblins' earlier antics, pulling on the rope and the bell begins to sound again.
The goblin then nimbly ducks out of Seviari's reach (Disengage as a bonus action) and, screaming, makes a break for the open door (taking the Dash action).
// Beedo the goblin is now fleeing the temple; if anyone wishes to pursue him, you'll have to take at least one turn performing the Dash action yourself in order to get within range. He is currently out of line of sight for the purposes of any ranged attacks. //
Sorry, I jumped the gun slightly. Rip has a shot at taking the goblin down!

The young woman looks around warily, but extends her hand to greet Solace. "My name is Kella, and I'm glad you've come. I'm really just passing through, but was stuck here after the giant attack, and must have been knocked unconscious as I tried to escape. That was my bedroom," she said, pointing up at the hole through which the giant rock had fallen. "I guess I'm lucky to be alive.
"When I awoke, I saw that my younger brother was gone with all the rest of the villagers, but before I could go looking for him, I was trapped by the arrival of this goblin infestation. I put one of them down, there, when he saw me," she said, indicating the dead goblin, "but I didn't dare move until someone came back for me. Goblins disgust me, but it gives me no joy to kill them, and I'd rather not have to deal with them at all."
Insight: you seize on the phrase, "Giant attack," and it suddenly all comes together. The huge rocks everywhere, the smashed buildings, the dozens of panicked humanoid tracks leading out of the village. Kella has also provided you with a somewhat helpful timeline of events, and might know more.
Perception: Kella looks vaguely Chondathan, and when she sees you looking at the snakelike creature, says "Ah, this is my pet, Drexl," she says, affectionately caressing its bright green scales. Upon closer inspection, you can see that it sports wings. You have never seen such a creature! "He's a flying snake. I got him from my time spent in the monastery."
"I'd really like to look for my little brother. I'm hoping Morak has him, because he isn't anywhere around here. And oh, I'm sorry, I didn't get your name?"

Seviari will run to the remaining goblin and swipe at it with his rapier Attack: 11 Damage: 7
