Where would you like to rest and heal? In the main hall of the goblin territory you would prevent them from taking back lost territory, but would be most exposed to counterattack. You could attempt to switch the barricades on the two store rooms (more secure but allowing them to retake the corridor and the front door). You could retreat to kobold territory (most secure but allowing the goblins to retake any of their former holdings). Or you could ask the kobolds to help secure the rooms already taken.
 


"I say we switch the barricades on the storerooms - if we show the Kobolds our vulnerability, they'll just dispose of us when they think they've got the upper hand with the goblins."
 

Lucas nodded his agreement with Khaira's assessment. "We shouldn't forget who we're deling with. Given safety in numbers, I'd say we should hole up by the barricades. Let them have the corridor, if we make sure we can flank around through the Kobold areas, we'll be fine." He looked to Khudaglun "How's the wound?"
 

Dividing into two groups you swiftly switch the barricades in each of the two store rooms, using javelins to spike the doors. Then you settle in to rest and heal.

While you are keeping watch you hear the goblins testing the barricades from the opposite side, but they never make a concerted effort to break through.

After a two nights of sleep and a day of rest you are refreshed and ready to continue.
 

Khudaglun's grumbling impatience to battle with the Goblins has been increasing over the past two days. He paces the chamber the party have been resting in, mock fighting hordes of Goblins, far more effectively than in reality it might be noted :D

"Al'right then, we be ready to have another go at the runts. Whats the plan this time? What have we got at our disposal?"
 

"Not much here." says Khaira. "Unless I can break my losing streak with this bow, I'm pretty much useless. However, one thing I'm certain of - the goblins are ready for us on the other side of the door. I'd suggest that myself and Moon quietly remove the blockages on one door, and then at a signal, we precast any assistive magics that we may have access to, and then I throw open the door and provide covering fire and verbal inspiration."
 


"I have a pair of sleep enchantments and a magic missle spell prepared," says Eshand. "That should be a bit more effective than the hypnotism that I tried on that blue thing last time. At any rate, any plan is good with me as long as I can put some of 'em to sleep."
