Mardred
"I found a button," Mardred says plaintively.
He begins to examine the area around the button, then the button itself, searching for possible traps.

Nope, there are no traps on or around the button, or indeed on the door anywhere- another job well done by Mardred... Oh hang on.
Mardred presses her ear to the wall- voices beyond, Goblin voices- even if you don't know what they are saying you can certainly make out the squeaky cries of Goblins, they seem to be very excited.
Oh and there's a lot of them- easily half-a-dozen...
Very excited, I wonder what about.
It is of course possible to open the door a smidgin and take a peek beyond, it would take a good stealth check, and if I were you I'd make sure everyone was ready- just in case.

Grim
After entering the chamber, Grim stops breathing to avoid the awful smell. This protected he searches through the fur and skins.
After the door gets opened, he moves to the second line. His unnatural stare seems to be one of the few ranged attacks they possess.

Kazzagin
Kazzagin looks around the room in disgust, the memory of Len falling to these digusting beasts exasperated by the filth and stench of the room. He adjusts the heavy shield on his arm and gives the new battleaxe a few practice swings at the darkness as he watches the rear of the group. With Len and Grim both gone, it would be up to him and Krogan to battle hard up front, and Kazzagin was beginning to have doubts whether they could accomplish this mission. But, perhaps that's what would make them legend. If his father had turned around half the times he did not, he wouldn't be who he was today.
At the voicing that the door beyond held the sounds of goblins, Kazzagin stiffened. He replaced the battleaxe with one of his handaxes, ready to get the drop on them quickly if needed. "This be a strange place. Once dwarves - now there be ogres, goblins and dead things. What be this place now? What curse be this place having?" He wasn't really expecting an answer but the thought felt like it needed uttering.
"Be we taking the goblins? There be many there and if only one be getting a warning to what else be living here, we be in loads of trouble. If we be taking them, we be doing it quickly. No time for giving warning." He didn't like the sound of the goblins. If there were a dozen in there, it would be hard to not alert the whole complex to their presence. On the other hand. "If we be catching one of the beasties, I think we be knowing something about what be happening in this place?"

There's little else to find in the refuse pile- most of it is... well, it's clear that the Zombie Ogres 'rested' here at times- perhaps still caught up in memories of their 'old life', they have left bits of themselves behind.
You move in to the back row, and ready your attack.
Kazzagin readies his hand axe after a look around the stink and foulness- he too is sickened by the nastiness that coats his weapon as he stirs the rag pile looking for anything sparkly or interesting.
Behind the door come raised Goblin voices again- there's definitely a lot of them, certainly more than six- they clamour and scream, alas none of you understand the langauge. Perhaps there are as many as ten different voices... this is getting dangerous.

The door grinds open, in fact it races back in to a concealed niche in the wall- open all the way, to reveal... a sea of Goblin faces staring back at you in utter confusion, clearly they were not aware of the portal.
The chamber itself is utter confusion, a chaotic mess of animal skins, fallen stones, rotting beams, and food scraps (difficult terrain- see the squares with triangles in the corner). A crude fire pit, lined with charred stones, in the south of the room. Skewers of meat are sizzling above the red and orange coals, and the entire chamber smells of fat drippings and burnt flesh.
The goblins are arrayed around a game of chess! Most of them sitting down (the arrows pointing down indicate those sitting- effectively Prone). Although a few stand here and there (Tomo and Towse, that you can see).
All of the goblins have weapons to hand- hand crossbows mostly close by and shortswords in their belts.
The chamber has two possible exits, a portcullis (down) exit, guarded by Towse seemingly, and a long passage heading East- there's a Goblin down there also, in some sort of niche.
There are goblins everywhere in fact.

Here comes your initiative- (OMG- sorry).
Surprise round, one action (fingers-crossed big hits), first up Grim, then Mardred, then Krogan, then Cinara, then Kazz.
