[LPF] Scourge of the Howling Horde

We can plan tactics IC next round, after the goblin's actions are resolved, but Iago might be the best choice for an overrun. If the goblin only takes a 5' step, Boots can do a 5' step and a full-attack for better odds of killing the thing.
More generally, at meta-level, Iago is not drinking his mutagen yet because I want to milk his bombs for all they are worth. He loses a point of damage with them if he takes the INT drop from the mutagen, and based on the splits we've seen that point might be significant (we've had incapacitated goblins who might otherwise have been able to act fully). IC, Iago does not *like* drinking his mutagen, which is something people can discuss with them later as a role-playing opportunity. (It's like eating vegetables: "Drink your mutagen so you can grow up big and strong!")
Sylla should probably give the orders IC at the top of the next round. Perhaps we should all wait until she's done so?

[sblock=ooc]I think the real issue is that the fleeing goblins are waking up the rest of the nest. We might be able to kill them if we move fast and get lucky, but I'm guessing that that ship has sailed. Also, one mentioned Bronc, which I'm guessing is a pet monster or maybe a goblin with barbarian levels or something. So pretty soon we're going to get one big monster, or a swarm of goblins, or both.
Ideally, I think we need to kill the goblin here (Boots will hopefully be able to full attack, but we'll burn that bridge when we come to it), and then have Boots or Agno scout around the corner and run back. If the swarm is coming, set up in this room and draw them into a killbox by the door. Melee stands to both sides, hacks and flanks everything, then ranged softens up the stuff in the corridor that is not in melee.
If the swarm isn't coming yet, we can move up and set a killbox in the next room. Sylla has one of the better ACs in the group, so she can shift to melee if you want. If we move, it's gotta be quick -- we don't want to get stuck in a conga line in the corridor.
Overall, we're at almost full health and have most of our dailies left so if we can draw things into good positions, we'll be fine.[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]I assume Denzil cured Iago instead of Agno. He was the only wounded person.[/sblock]The wounded archer (5) steps back again and fires an arrow into Boots's chest. The shaft sinks in pretty deep, leaving him moderately wounded.

"Ow!" Boots barks. "Okay, then!" He closes on the goblin in a whirlwind of claws and teeth.
"We need reconnaissance," Sylla says, moving forward.
[sblock=ooc]Boots: 5 ft step, full attack
Assuming that drops the goblin, Sylla will move to AF14, look around the corner, and then drop back to AG14 and report. (Double move)
Also: I'll be gone for the holiday weekend. Back Monday.[/sblock]

Boots takes down the goblin archer. Sylla looks around the corner and the hallway goes for 20 feet. Then it opens both left and right.

Agno moves up and squats next to Boots and ruffles the fur on his head.
"What a good, hurrr... vicious darkwolf you are!"
While doing so he'll beseech Issolatha for a revelation of healing for their injured companion.

Boots is restored to fighting trim.
Iago gets a good look down the hallways ahead. The tunnel opens into a wider hallway. The walls are not cavern-like, but finished with torch sconces at regular intervals with lit torches to provide illumination.
To the right, it dead-ends in a collapsed tunnel or an unfinished section. To the left there is a four-way intersection, on the opposite side he can see the second staggering goblin. That hallway continues with another side opening before the it looks to turn right at the far end.
There is no sign of the first staggered goblin.
