The panic that had set in quickly spread through the crowd like a wildfire of its own.  Many people were either cowering in place, while most others were running away to keep themselves, their families, and their homes safe.  Thankfully though Aria's shouted orders was enough to instill some courage into a handful of citizens who quickly ran off to find what they needed to help prevent a fire from erupting within the town--like it had when the original Cathedral had burnt down.  Meanwhile the goblin up on the cart pointed at the paladin and shouted to the other three goblins, "Kill da shiny one!"<br/><br/>A number of hand axes rested nearby, the glint of sun on metal catching Arduinne's eye for just a moment as she made a quick survey of the situation and the surrounding area.  The goblin she insulted seemed only angered by her words as he replied with a venomous spit, "no am shit, but you is dead!" to which it added a shrill cackle.<br/><br/>One of the dagger wielding goblins was struck squarely in the chest by the magical attack from Lissa, calling a loud yelp of pain before he responded with another yell, "evil witch bitch!  Gonna stab ya in da eyes!"<br/><br/>Perhaps luckily for the little Gnome, the small crossbow bolt went largely unnoticed by the trio of goblins as one of them paid most of its attention to the woman who blasted it with magic, and the other two focused as instructed upon the 'shiny one'.<br/><br/>One arrow that did not go unnoticed however was the one flung with such great accuracy from Joran's bow.  With a loud, wet<em>THUNK</em>it lodged itself in the forehead of one of two goblins focusing their attention on Aria.  Its eyes crossed as if to look at the thing sticking out of its head before unceremoniously falling backward.<br/><br/>An error of looking eye-level with Lissa while threatening her with stabby vengeance caused the goblin to be rather unprepared for the Dwarf that was about to cleave him in twain.  The axe, which likely weighed more than three of the goblins put together, split the goblin with the burned chest cleanly in half--or at least cleanly until its body found a convenient plot of ground to land on, where it began to bleed and ooze intestines onto the ground.<br/><br/>Most goblins, at this point, would likely be rather off-put by seeing their compatriots so easily slain beside them, instead these goblins simply seemed even more incensed than before.<br/><br/>The singing goblin continued to sing while leading the two torch wielding goblins into something of a flanking position behind the group of adventurers that had risen up to fight against them.  These three seemed particularly interested in the two taking cover behind the table--the Gnome with the crossbow, and the Aasimar with the musket.  The singing goblin cracked his whip menacingly but otherwise kept his distance from the other two goblins, though these two quickly leapt forward to strike one at each of the two brave enough to resist.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Attacks vs Misti and Dalkaer</div><div class="spoiler_body">Roll Result: Re Z L rolled: 1d20<br/>Comment: Attack vs Misti<br/>Result: 2, <br/>Total: 2<br/><br/>Roll Result: Re Z L rolled: 1d20<br/>Comment: Attack vs Dalkaer<br/>Result: 8, <br/>Total: 8<br/><br/>Note:  You can still easily 5-foot shift away from them to avoid attacks of opportunity if you like.<br/></div></div><br/>While the torches were fearsome looking weapons, they made very poor clubs, though the Goblins were scarcely afraid to wield them wildly.  Flames careened past both of their intended victims and struck the hard table instead, sending small embers here and there harmlessly.<br/><br/>The one goblin remaining in front of Aria was quickly joined by the one that had been up on the butterfly cart and both quickly lunged into the Paladin with their crudely made daggers.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Attacks vs. Aria</div><div class="spoiler_body">Roll Result: Re Z L rolled: 1d20, adding 4to the total<br/>Comment: Attack 1 vs Aria<br/>Result: 2, <br/>Total: 6<br/><br/>Roll Result: Re Z L rolled: 1d20, adding 4to the total<br/>Comment: Attack 2 vs Aria<br/>Result: 3, <br/>Total: 7<br/><br/>The dice are not on my side   &gt;:(<br/></div></div><br/>Despite their fury, little was accomplished despite sounding metal clangs and spending their anger.<br/><br/>The remaining goblins tackling the problem of the cart seemed to have resorted to simply banging on it with their torches, while a third pried at a barrel with its dagger.
