this is a low-flying panic attack
Before anyone can decide which way to go, an odd clickety-clacking type sound reverberates down the corridor to your right. It sounds as if a small group of creatures wearing metal shoes is running directly at you. A low, harsh voice, akin, almost, to a stage whisper, says, "More food. Excellent." Whatever it is is out of the range of your torchlight, but is certainly close.
Before anyone can react, two projectiles, vaguely reminiscent of chitinous darts, land in Jobling's chest, making a sickly squishing noise. The goblin is jerked off his feet, flying into the darkness. A second later, you can hear Jobling scream.

(ooc - the attack came from the right side, I assume?)
Flawed moves in the direction of the attack, by about 30 feet (though it'll stop if it sees something earlier).
Depending on what it sees, it'll either shoot a crossbow bolt, or cast burning hands if it can do so without hurting Jobling, and hurt more than one opponent in the process.

OOC: Yes, it came from the right (er, sorry if that sounds a wee bit like a horror movie title -- such as It Came from the Black Lagoon!).

OOC: Yep. He's been dragged out of the light and into the darkness to your right. Oh -- after this round, if people could post their actions three rounds at a time I'd appreciate it mightily.
Assumption: Flawed had the light source, but dropped it at the entry to the tunnel so he could get ready to use his crossbow.
Round 1
Flawed moves down the right corridor about twenty-five feet when he sees a large, spiny arachnid, bright orange in color (image[/url). Jobling, or what's left of him, is impaled on spikes just to the left of its head. Its eight eyes, disturbingly human, stare down at you. You fire a bolt at it, almost instinctively. Jobling's far too close to you for comfort, and a burning hands spell would just as likely kill the goblin as it would harm the beast. The bolt bounces off its spiny armor, clattering as it hits the sewer floor [roll of 11 on d20, +1 heavy crossbow, total 12, miss].
Plonk, you advance slightly (to a point behind Flawed). After your eyes adjust to being out of direct light, you can see the huge spider monster in front of Flawed.
"Show myself?", it hisses at Gannon, "Are you truly sure that's what you want?" Gannon can see some odd orange shapes in occasional flickering lights.
Finally, Rawhide rushes the creature, swinging his great axe [roll of 15 on d20, +3 BAB melee, +2 Charge, total, 20 success]. The axe cracks the creatures shell, and a foul ichor pours out onto the floor [damage, roll of 6 on d10, +2 Str, total 8]. Its head turns towards Rawhide, and it grins foully.
OOC: I can't attach a map for some reason, so we'll have to run it a little bit looser. You're all within one move action of the creature and all of you can see it now, with the exception of Gannon, who doesn't have lowlight vision.
