The kobold braces itself for Thomas's attack just in time, and isn't affected. Thomas tries to break free from the glue, but he is stuck fast.
Morgran moves a bit to get a better shot, then curses the first slinger. He tries to fire flames at it, but the arc of hellish fire bends just before the kobold.

On top of that, you can't target K, because it has total cover from D1 and D2. From your position, you can't aim a spell at it.
Having opponents in the way provides Cover, not Superior Cover:

Which means Thomas should have a -2 Atk penalty against K, but should still be able to hit him.

Majestic Word is a Close Burst, creatures don't provide cover against Area affects:

You're right about the burst, sorry, but for the attack, I'm not really sure, so I'll let you have it! Except...you rolled an 11, so with the -2 penalty, that's a 9 and it doesn't hit anyway. Problem solved.
But Maia is healed and slid to F10! That puts you at 30 hp, correct (17 + 9 from healing surge + 4 from Thomas = 30)? This means you don't have to use Warforged Resolve just yet!
Maia understands that it is tactical to get rid of distractions during combat, so he attack D2 with his halberd. He strikes it right on its head, opening up a bloody wound.
Bloodied
D2 is bloodied, as is K and S1 (just in case you were wondering how your progress is).
The slingers continue to bombard Mei Ying and Thomas with bullets. One laughs as Mei feels the sting of its sling, while the other curses in Draconic at Thomas cleverly evades its attack.
Damage
Mei Ying takes 6 damage, putting her at 20 hp.

Mei Ying reaches out, gathering energy in her hand as she does...but the kobold's shot strikes her just as she flings her mystic blast, throwing her aim off! She emits a curse in a foreign tongue and glares daggers at the beast.
While Mei fumbles, she still manages to break free from the glue.
Mei
Mei gets a 15 on her saving throw versus immobilization, ending the effect.
The rolling boulder continues on its path, bearing down on MAIA and the kobolds! The kobolds see it coming, and since MAIA is bloking their path back to their platform, they slink back and run the other way!
They reach Thomas, and attack him before they continue running to avoid the boulder. Thomas dodges the first attack, but the second one strikes him under his chainmail.
Thomas
Thomas takes 5 damage, reducing his hp to 16, and is marked by D2.
Maia
Maia is no longer marked by D2.
The sly kobold also slinks up to Thomas, stabbing him as well with one of its short swords.
Thomas
Thomas takes 1 damage from the attack, reducing him to 15 hp.

Thomas strikes out with his longsword, ducking low, before bringing the blade up towards the kobold's throat. Unfortunately he kicks his arm as he lowers his blade, ruining his strike. The bard steps back.

While Boldo is quietly opening the door, Thomas is attacking the dragonshield. He misses and tries to get out of the way, but remembers that he's stuck to the ground by the gluepot from the slingers. He does, though, manage to pull free from the glue.
Thomas and Morgran
Thomas gets a 19 on his saving throw against immobilization. The kobold slyblade is also no longer marked by Morgran (from Thomas's misdirected mark).
Morgran swings down his hammer on the slyblade, hearing the satisfied crunch of the reptile's bloody scales under his hammer.
Maia, realizing that he can't run from the boulder since the kobolds are in the way, runs up the stairs to the platform to dodge it. He stops on the stairs, waiting for the boulder to pass.
The slingers continue hurling gluepots at the adventurers, hitting Mei Ying but missing Thomas.
Mei Ying
6 damage, and you are immobilized (save ends), leaving you with 14 hp.
