S'Vith squints into the mist and makes out the shape of a goblin just within reach.  He lunges.

Horcrust looks for targets. If he can't find any not already occupied with his friends he goes out of the mist in search of more targets.

Faraway is crouching behind Horcrust when a goblin emerges from the mist behind him.  Ahead of him Horcrust sees the goblin in front of him run up and swing his dogslicer, screaming.  He misses, badly, and the blade of his weapon snaps off, rebounds back and smacks him in his face.  The goblins stands there, rubbing his nose.

Owen, Faraway, go for it.

"They are attempting to swarm us!  Try and regroup together, if you can.  Get back, Jed!"

Owen takes a swipe at the goblin in front of him, attempting to draw some attention to himself.

Faraway launches himself at the goblin engaging Horcrust, attempting to give the sorcerer the space to retreat. He swings his scimitar across his body, viciously slashing at the menacing creature.

Horcrust begins casting Summon Monster I and fleeing towards the meat shield.

TheTick

Owen's attack just misses, but one of the goblins in front of him swings and connects with his dogslicer, cutting him painfully. (-2hp)  Another goblin swings at S'Vith, but even with help flanking the Monk, he misses.  Faraway's attack on the goblin who had been threatening Horcrust misses the now-unarmed goblin.

Jeddy is up.  Can update the map later.  Will have Horcrust begin casting his spell on his turn.

Jeddy takes a step (5-foot step) back, reloads his crossbow, and readies himself to shoot at any goblins that advance.

TheTick

Jeddy melts back into the mist, crossbow at the ready.  Nearby, a goblin howls and leaps at the spot where Jeddy was, narrowly missing the Halfling.  The crossbow fires, and the bolt hits the goblin in the belly.  (-5hp, 1 left)  It wails piteously, but manages to just stay on it's feet.  The goblin behind S'Vith swings again, but the surprisingly nimble Dwarf dodges.

Spoiler: ShowHide
Horcrust is next, however you may want to re-think casting the spell - you have nowhere to retreat to that will avoid an attack of opportunity when casting, and with your low AC you're a lot more likely to get hit.  If you still want to try it, I suggest Casting Defensively (you must make a concentration check (DC 15 + double the level of the spell you're casting) to succeed), to roll that check it's 1d20+your caster level (1)+your CHA bonus.  That way you either lose the spell or cast successfully - no AoO.

Horcrust stabs the goblin next to him and 5-foot steps towards Owen

Horcrust's skill (or lack thereof) with a knife shows, and the goblin with the broken dogslicer easily dodges and taunts him.

S'Vith, Owen, Faraway, you can all give me actions if they are going to just be 'I attack goblin x'.  I'll pause if things change.

Owen attempts to strike down the goblin that is threatening Jeddy, but again fails to connect his blade with a little greenskin in the fog.  The paladin's lack of real combat experience is starting to show.

S'Vith reaches out to grapple the nearest goblin in hopes of at least removing one enemy from the fight.

TheTick

Despite it's squirming, S'Vith manages to easily grab hold of the goblin he targeted.  It kicks and wails, but can't get free.  The goblin nearest to Faraway throws down the broken handle of it's dogslicer and takes off running in a haphazard pattern, that eventually leads it to the largest shack.  It hammers on the door, screeching a stream of goblin with one word you recognize mixed in: "GUTWAD!", but it's pleas go unanswered.

The goblin attacking Horcrust is luckier, and jabs him painfully with its dogslicer. (-3hp)

The two goblins south of Owen swing their blades at the same time, and one connects with a slash to the Paladin's leg. (-3hp)

Faraway, Jeddy, go for it.

As the goblin pounding on the door pauses for a breath, it is struck from above by slashing talons.

Faraway, hearing escalating sounds of battle from the mist, moves to engage the goblin adjacent to Horcrust. With a grunt, he slashes at the blurred creature within the mist.
