"What, you couldn't stay up one round? Next time make with the explodo, not the excuses, firebug!" Izzy snarls and lunges for the wounded goblin. His blade sinks into the little creep's chest, and it falls. Desperately Izzy slashes at the last goblin, accomplishing little more than flicking some goblin blood in its face. Then he darts around the remaining goblin toward the open trapdoor.
[Attack roll total: 22, damage roll total: 7. That should drop him. Actually, that should be an extraordinary success, too, so let's try another one ... and that's an Attack total of 12. Nevermind. And then a Move of 20 ft. Issarion doesn't know this guy, and he's not gonna die for him. But he's not running out QUITE yet.]

As Izzy darts to the trap door the goblin runs over the edge to the south and down the wall at goblin climbing speed which can only be matched by Halfling climbing speed. He is 10 feet down the wall out of your sight.
Fiery opens one eye and looks around, "Did you kill them? Man that hurt." He holds his wound but is obviously not as dead as he was acting a moment ago.

Izzy gives him a dirty look. "Meat shield my arse, firebug! I'm a tool of delicate finesse and style, dammit!" He grabs one of the goblin corpses and drags it over to the wall that the last goblin climbed down, and then drops it over the edge, aiming for the goblin's head. [Athletics check total: 22 (oh yeah, THATS the one I get a 19 on)]
"Hey, you forgot something!" he yells down at him, and flips him off.

The goblins tries to crawl sideways but the falling goblin is to fast. Soon 2 goblins are falling down the wall smashing to the ground below. (Goblin missed dex save. Takes only 6 damage from the fall but dead goblin falling on him finishes him off).
Looking over the Wordwise is standing over the dwarf pouring a flask of something into his mouth. The dwarf does not seem to be drinking.
Dead goblins and an Ogre litter the ground. The Lord Warden is at the gate looking at the explosion and fire on the bridge. He turns and yells to the Golden Lions. "Release the hounds let them run these goblins down."
You are standing on a gatehouse with a halfling looking at a bridge on fire, dead goblins, and burning and explosions across the entire city.

Izzy turns around and leans against the battlement. "Hey, so I'm new in town and all, but does this kinda thing happen a lot around here? Because you might wanna put that in the brochure."

The halfling looks up at Izzy,"I'm a traveling man myself but they haven't had an attack in ten years. Council promised the people they have been pro-active in stopping future attacks by the Goblins. Not sure that's workin." He holds his side."Hey, you wouldn't have a healing potion I could take a fast swig on to heal this, or at least a flask of something so i don't feel it. The guy that normally heals me seems kind of dead below."

"I had a skewer of mystery meat, but I ate it." Izzy rifles through the last dead goblin's filthy robes. [Perception total: 15. He got anything good on him?] "We should probably check on that guard downstairs, he was looking even rougher than you."

Izzy runs over the goblins robe and finds a few coppers, some string, a few leaves, and a pair of beaten up dragon dice.
The halfling tries to open the trapdoor and get down to the guard before but his wounds make it hard to climb the ladder quickly. You arrive to watch him try to pocket a money pouch. He also has a flask of something in his other hand sniffing the top,"I think it's brandy. Only one way to find out." You can hear the armored guards climbing the ladder up to your position.

"Yeah, robbin' the cops when his pals are comin' up the stairs. Smooth, firebug. Amateurs, I tell ya..."
Izzy rolls his eyes, and goes to check on the guard. [How close to dead is he?]

The guard is breathing with a weak but stable pulse. He seems like he will make it.
The first guards climbs up with sword at the ready. "Freeze, What is your business here? Who killed the guards? Who killed the goblins? Why are they attacking us?" His sword is shaking in his hand.
The second guard seems more stable,"Nodwick it's okay. If they ment to kill us they would have stuck you on the way up. My names Red. What can you tell about what was going on in the tower?"

"Ok then, Noddy, in order: savin' your asses; the dead goblins; me; and hells if I know." Izzy stands up and stretches. "Also, you might wanna put that away before you hurt yourself. Hey, Red. Looked like the gobs were trying to make sure the gates stayed open, and that the warning signal didn't get set off."
He looks down at the wounded guard. "You got any kind of healing on you, you might wanna toss some into your pal here. Also, firebug over there got himself stuck, too. How's things looking downstairs?"

Red tosses a flask at Fiery,"Pour some on your wounds and the rest down you gullet little one. Thank you for the help you saved us 3 times the trouble in the market and probably saved many lives. The Lord Warden is below and would probably financially appreciate your help."
Noddy climbs to the trap door on the roof as he opens it he yells down,"Why does the warning fire smell like a latrine? I'm gonna be sick."
"Get up there and lookout for the bridge." Red yells up,"I don't care if it smells like a goblin's arse. You know I used to be an adventurer myself back in the day. Then I took an arrow to the knee."

"Yeah, you shoulda invested in some thigh-high boots with the extra thick knee-pads. I hear about more guys getting outta the business that way..." Izzy nudges Almok toward the ladder. When they get downstairs, he mutters "So, what'd ya cop off the guard? Gob just had pocket trash and some change."

The halfling smiles and drops a handful of gold in Izzy's waiting fingers. (4gp)
Making it downstairs and out the tower door (far easier than climbing the outside) the large golden dragonborne and the Lord Warden greets you. "Fiery the goblins are retreating except the ones at the Hall of Great Valor. They have bombed the building and look to be trying to take the whole thing down. We need to help." He turns and strides quickly away toward the hall and the smoke rising from it.
Almok starts to following him,"You talked about pay right? We're getting paid right? Wordwise? Pay?" He calls back over his shoulder as he jogs to catch up,"Your coming right? a skinny meat shield is better than no meat shield."

"Ahhhh, do-gooders. Gotta love 'em." Izzy shakes his head and tags along. He keeps to the shadows at the edge of the street, slinking along with the heroic types. He's also keeping an eye out for a loose crossbow that nobody seems real attached to. [Stealth roll total: 17, Investigation total: 22. Hey, I've just realized that I don't know what time of day it's supposed to be. What's the lighting situation like right now?]
