In his waking dream, Hraken can still hear the laughter of the goblins around him as their half-dragon lord climbs on top of him pinning him to the ground. The dragon leans forward forcing the young boys mouth open, the smell of the dragon-blood begins to overwhelm him, and he struggles against it's grasp. The dragon laughs and breaths his evil fire down the boys throat. Hraken, suddenly feeling stronger (7 healing), breaks free and grabs the dragon by the throat with his large paws.
"You owe me a healing potion, those don't come cheap!"
He was back in the market. A dead ogre was lying beside him and a golden-skinned human was leaning over him, a black panther paw claspped around his throat.
"Get up. Theres lots of killing left to do."
Realizing what had happend and that this sorcerer had saved his life, Hraken recoils his hand quickly. "Thank you." he growled softly. With that, the dragon-blood sorcerer was off, climbing over the ogre to tend to Alys. "Friend!" Hraken called after him, and when the man turned to regard him, he tossed a small jar into his hands and bounded off to continue the fight.
Seeing a goblin fighting to his right, and his rage not yet subsided, he leaps into the air slamming the creature to the ground (21 attack, success x1), and digging his claws into its back (10 slashing). He tries to sink his teeth into the goblin's neck (Attack 11, fail) but the goblin's clothes are bunched up around his neck and all Hraken get's is a mouthful of cloth.
OOC: it seems this goblin survives with 1 hp, haha. Anyway, Sithramir, I hope you don't mind how I roleplayed my encounter with Oloric, and thanks for saving me.

Blackarrow prepares for a reprisal, but it never arrives, giving him an opening for one more shot. While the first arrow wasn't enough, the second flies into the goblin's back, finishing it off. As he sees the goblin die, Blackarrow scrambles to quickly reholster his bow and regrip his discarded gear, whispering "It seems we still retain surprise. Perhaps we can deal with the rest before they even know we're here." He then turns to the ladder and remarks "I guess it's time to see if this ladder creaks."
Attack: 14 for 5 damage.

Fargrim is surprised the goblins still didn't notice them. "I guess things are quite hectic up there." Better seize the chance while they're still distracted. Fargrim climbs the ladder [halfway, I guess, since climb speed is halved], while whispering to create a sound of someone (a goblin voice, if possible) calling up from the outside of the gate tower [Thaumaturgy cantrip]. He basically wants the goblins to look down the wrong side of the tower.
OOC: Blackarrow, I'm assuming you did not start climbing before me, right?

Oloric jumps his dead horse, gives Hraken the potion, and leaps the dead ogre (the second one he finished off just call him Oloric Ogrebane) and arrives next to the Cleric. Alys- lays on the ground. Blackarrow fires up the ladder's opening finishing the goblin who falls bouncing off the ladder and landing on the second floor. He then races up the ladder as 3 soldiers enter the doorway. A group of 3 Golden Lion enter the doorway and see the cloaked Blackarrow going up the ladder,"It's the Blackarrow. I knew he was a criminal. He is working with the goblin scum. They rush for the ladder." Fargrim sees the Golden Lions rush in and ? The Captain kills another goblin and she falls. Five goblins turn and see the Sorcerer standing over the cleric. "He smell like Kobold. Kobolds killz me huzband. Killz big pretty kobolds." They rush toward Oloric. Malik's misses the goblins but the soldier next to him downs another goblin. The 2 left desperately attack Malik and one cuts across his leg with a rusty goblin clever (3 damage). 5 goblin stop at the corner of the stall and look over the battle quickly turning against them. The duck down hiding (dc16 to detect) The golden lions in the protection of the archway split into 3 groups. 3 move toward the east gatehouse tower and begin to chase Blackarrow. 3 move to the west gatehouse tower. 4 left drawn bows and fire a volley of arrows at the goblins rushing at Oloric. 3 arrows strike goblin flesh dropping the group to 4. Paladin Captain Derrius finishes the goblins on the bridge drops off his mount and passes under the gate. "Secure the gatehouse and finish these vermin." On the towers, Goblins continue to fire on the Paladin until he disappears into the gatehouse. The arrows bounce off his platemail. The west tower goblins turn as there fellow archer screams and falls down the trapdoor leading into the tower. "The guardz are here we must find new hidey place." Blackarrow peeks over the trapdoor and sees the 4 goblins crawling over the battlements on the north side of the building. The top of the tower is empty except for the bodies of guards. Blackarrow hears the golden lions calling for his arrest below. Hraken leaps on one of the 2 goblins engaged with Malik. He takes the goblin to the ground and after his claws and bites the previously injured Goblin lays dead. The last goblin retreats away from the warriors. Hraken smells that the goblin left is retreating to a group of 5 goblins huddled by the nearby stall. Paelius ? (I'm going to assume moves forward with the crowd) Wordwise, Fiery, Izzy and their militia arrive. The Militia, Wordwise, and Fiery are going right down the middle of the road to attack. Behind them come the people of the town. Izzy breaks into a sprint covering 90 more feet in 6 heartbeats. He is well ahead of the main group sliding into the shadows as he approaches. Round Seven You have 4 goblins rushing Oloric. 6 goblins by the stall. 4 goblins climbing down the north side of the tower. 5 goblins in the east gatehouse tower. Also 3 guards are rushing up the ladder to get Blackarrow. Attachments:

OOC: Stephen, You might have missed the last post I made (since it was right before yours). Don't worry, I can take it back.
Can Fargrim get to the ladder before the guards? If so he starts up the ladder before them, if not, he thinks best than to try to wrestle 3 armed man out of the ladder. In any case he says:
"Damn Lions, interfering with my work! I'm on it. I'll bring you the Blackarrow, he has nowhere to go, but you should let me climb and go outside in case he tries to descend the tower from the outer wall, this man can climb like a spider!"
(Deception roll: 0 (Zero!) I rolled a 1 and have -1 Charisma modifier. Sooooo...)
If they simply ignore Fargrim, he'll still do the magical sound of goblin calling outside the tower (Thaumaturgy cantrip to distract the goblins upstairs).
OOC: I edited because I realized I was not doing any actions, unless a deception check counts as an action (haven't found it anywhere, but I assume my talking is a "free action"). I'm also assuming Blackarrow can't get all the way up in one turn. If Blackarrow finishes his climb Fargrim will try to pull the ladder from under the guards, or smash it with his mace, if it looks too heavy.

Sorry I was typing as you were. The deception is a free action because it is just talking and talking is free.
Round six still
Fargrim follows Blackarrow up the ladder and is know halfway up the ladder. The Golden Lions will be following but are slowed by the Dwarf in the way.
"Cleric of Magnus you must stand aside. The vigilante is getting away." They are on the ladder pleading with your backside.
The goblins begin to go over the wall then stop as they hear a noise of goblins at the bottom of the tower. "Meekska is that youzz. Weeze needs to gets out Meekska. Sinruth hasz all he needs to make us whole againz. Weeze needs to go." They continue down the north wall.
You could break the ladder in round seven.

Issarion heads northeast, trying to loop around the stalls and come up behind the goblins that're going for Oloric. [Athletics total: 16, Stealth total: 21]

Izzy will get his 90 feet double roll and probably not be noticed. He will be 80 feet away at the end of his move.

OOC: Since Blackarrow has the Athlete feat, climbing doesn't reduce his speed, so, since the ladder's 30ft, he was able to make it up in one move action last round.
Truly, the Golden Lions are almost as much masters of stealth as they are experts at deduction. And they wonder why they can never catch me. Still, SOMEONE has to keep worrying about the goblins. Blackarrow gives a slight nod of gratitude to Fargrim that the Lions wouldn't see, and then bursts out the trapdoor blade in hand, rushing the goblins northward. He delivers two quick blows to slay the nearest goblin, but the next one narrowly escapes his range as he thrusts his blade at it, forcing him to quickly recover and prepare his shield for their counterattack.
Attack: 25 (YES!). 6 Damage. 2nd Attack: 20. 10 damage. 3rd Attack: 10.

The Goblins watch their friend slide off the human's blade and drop into the river below. The other three push off the wall and spin and flip through the air wildly landing with three splashes into the water below.

Oloric realizes that there won't be time to check on Alys without more trouble than he planned. He moves 30' towards Malik and Hraken shouting "Some help here?!" He fires two bolts of fire at the oncoming goblins. (20 attack 9 damage, extraordinary 17 attack 6 damage).

The goblins Malik are facing appear to be well versed in the martial arts. He swings twice but just isn't able penetrate their defenses yet again. Worried the numbers could soon overwhelm him he looks and sees Oloric running his way. Noticing Hraken entering the fray he pushes harder hoping together they can finish this group as the newer goblins enter the fray. (Rolled two 1's in a row. Malik can't hit something to save his life!).
OOC: Can you clarify are these goblins or hobgoblins? I recall previous mention of AC 13 and 11 hps which is an orc stat but wanted to clarify as we do hits and damage since goblins/hobgoblins have a lot less hps usually.

Fargrim glances up and sees that Blackarrow already disappeared to the top of the tower. The man doesn't waste any time. Fargrim growls at the guards "Look, we're halfway up a ladder, so I'll 'stand aside' when we get to the top, thank you very much! I'm climbing as fast as I can!". When Fargrim gets to the top (provided the guards don't interfere) he looks down the ladder and says "By the way, are you familiar with the phrase 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend'? This Blackarrow of yours has killed more goblins than I cared to count tonight."
"Sadly, I can't be certain you believe me. Sorry!" Fargrim swings his mace at the ladder below the point where it touches the top floor opening, hoping it will topple and hit the inside wall of the tower.

The ladder cracks from the roof to the third floor leaving the soldiers falling in sprawl 2 on the third floor and one on the second.
