All righty... forward ho, then.
The band regroups for a moment, Brevin healing Nojin (d8 roll 3+1=4 points healed), then regroups and reforms. Nojin and Grunlor take the point, moving as cautiously as dwarves in heavy armor can; Arkan and Baril follow, then Tuli and Grinder, then Nylarra and Brevin.
The shouting continues to echo through the corridor, the echoes garbling it and preventing any distinct words from coming through. About thirty yards ahead, the corridor seems to end, though as you draw closer, you realize there is a tee in the corridor. One arm goes left, the other goes right, each arm ten feet wide, but from the corridor it's difficult to determine what's down either arm.
Not that it matters for very long. Grunlor feels something hit his armor from the right as he enters the intersection--a sharp pain, though from no discrenible weapon. Grinder, however, immediately recognizes the effect as being from a magic missile.
To the left, Nojin notices just before the swing of an axe comes toward him, and jumps out of the way before it hits him.
OOC:
The enemies having revealed themselves (and the surprise round over), it's your turn. Inits:
Nylarra 23
Tuli 22
Brevin 17
Arkan 13 (18)
Grinder 13 (12)
Nojin 12
Baril 11
Grunlor 8
Mechanics:
Magic missile: one missile, roll 2+1 = 3 points to Grunlor.
Axe attack roll 6+? = not near enough to hit Nojin.
Manzanita: My bad, I totally missed the meaning in your statement. I saw 'waste no time' as 'get to it rapidly' rather than 'not do it at all'
Rybaer, Shalimar: Second Ping!!

Arkan
Looks like Arkan is the first to react of the frontline troops. As she's currently armed with her bow, her preference would be to shoot someone. If she can, she'll shoot the axe-weilding goblin to her left. If that seems problematic, she would like to shoot the goblin magician. If she can't get a clear shot at either, she'll wait until the front liners move (which I'm confident they will), then she will enter the hallway directly in front, where hopefully a target will present itself.

[ooc - I'm still here. Was out of town for the better part of the last week...just forgot to mention it here.]
Grinder grins and calls out, "We got us a magic flinger!"
He (carefully) sets his crossbow near the wall and will hold action to cast Magic Missile at the spellcaster should the goblin try to cast another spell at the group.

Nojin steps forward swinging the axe head of his urgrosh, then follows throughj spining the weapon briskly to jab with the pike right into the middle of the axe wielding goblin.

OOC: Shalimar: Last Ping!
Toric Still out there?
Nylarra hangs back from the combat for the moment, worried about what's transpiring. "This... I'm not certain this is what I signed up for."
Tuli pushes her way through Arkan and Nojin, and circles the goblin on the left, flanking it with Nojin. She attempts to slash with her short sword, but misses as the goblin jumps out of the swing's path.
The goblin caster finishes chanting another spell, and you see a flash of light head toward Grunlor. (Grinder recognizes it as a reduce person spell.) The light attempts to envelop Grunlor, but he shakes off the spell like so much water.
Brevin holds his actions, waiting to see if anyone will need quick healing.
Arkan attempts to shoot the goblin in front of her, but nocking an arrow gives the goblin a chance to hack at her with his axe. He connects, opening a small gash on her leg. (3 points damage) Arkan's arrow flies wild, hitting the wall behind the goblin.
Grinder sets down his crossbow and tosses a magic missile at the other caster, causing the goblin to blink in annoyance for a moment, and yelp in pain.
Nojin swings his urgrosh, attacking the goblin in front of him twice. The axe end of the urgrosh catches the goblin square in the face, opening a huge gash that splatters blood quite a ways around. The goblin seems a bit dazed, but he's still standing.
Grunlor pushes forward, swinging his axe mightily, opening another huge gash, this one in the other goblin. The mage screams in agony as he hits the floor of the cave.
Baril, seeing that he no longer has a target in the mage, moves to attack the other goblin. He attempts to stab it, but it scoots out of the way.
The goblin, finding himself surrounded, attempts to damage whomever he can, and goes for the smallest, apparently weakest enemy. He turns and slashes at Tuli, connecting with her arm, but making not much more than a nick. (2 points damage)
OOC: Mechanics:
Tuli: attack roll 11+0+2(flk) = 13 miss
Goblin caster: Reduce person, Fort DC 13; Grunlor save roll 18+4 = 22 saves
Goblin AOO: attack roll 15+? = hit; damage roll 2+1=3
Arkan: attack roll 2+5 = 7 miss
Grinder: magic missile roll 2+1 = 3 damage.
Nojin: axe head attack roll 20 threat; threat roll 8+3=11 no crit; damage roll 7+4 = 11
spear head attack roll 6+3 = 9 miss
Grunlor: attack roll 11+3 = 14 hit; damage roll 6+3+1 (pwr) = 10
Baril: attack roll 5+1 = 6 miss
Goblin: attack roll 14+? = hit; damage roll 1+1=2
Next round!!
