The Village is maybe a hundred feet across, and roughly square. There is a stagnant pond near the front, and the fence is partly broken there too... The mess just above the left end of the pond appears to be a destroyed house.Here's a rendition in pencil done by Goblin artist Murbeg (text added later by unknown Human). A better artist could not be located for a commission of this.

Tara's call is answered by eerie silence.

K 5 for Daergast.
Shan-Shuno pushes hard on the door and it mostly caves in. He hears a high squealing sound coming from inside, but it is cut short. Now, in place of the door, is a bunch of Goblin-sized furniture and, well, just junk is the only way to describe it, piled up just behind where the door was. Inside the 10' by 20' room it is dark, but you can see it's full of all manner of decaying, dirty, burnt and otherwise useless junk.
Lorus thinks he might have seen some movement in the window of the next hut over (at D7), but he can't be sure.
Lorund, weapon already drawn, readies himself for the worse.

Bug looks in the fire pit and says "Goblins in there. Enemy tribe? You speak Goblin?" He's standing next to Lorus.
Everyone is all ears as they await an answer, but none comes. It feeels as though the village itself may answer, but alas, it does not.
The silence is deafening.
Just when Tara is about to take action, something else happens. There is a flash of light from inside the hut, then smoke, as something bright and burning
Just when Tara is about to take action, something else happens. There is a flash of light from inside the hut, then smoke, as something bright and burning comes out of the darkness and hits Shan-Shuno in the stomach (1 damage + 1 non-lethal damage, and blinded for 1 round). Then a loud yell and a laugh from inside the hut.
(roll initiative, all)
My mistake, Shan-Shuno is not blinded (that's only on a critical).

(Waiting for Shan-Shuno and Tara)
Lorund suggests " With all those explosions, or whatever they are coming out of that hut, perhaps if we just wait for them to stop..."
Bug says with concern, "But if you light it the Goblins might burn alive! And what if it's not Goblins, what if it's Halflings like me?!"
Bug raises his voice, but it comes out kind of weak."Megra hoombi ma a ma a ristomg frikun! Golabal bamabama puk!!"
Shan-shuno jumps off the ladder, down about four feet to the muddy ground. That was just before another firework came out the door.
(end of pre-round 1)
Full round 1:
Daergast and Tara rush to the ladder, Daergast first. Lorund goes to follow, while Lorus, Nico and Bug stand by waiting for goblins.
OOC: Everyone has done an action but Shan-Shuno, right?
Just as Daergast reaches the top of thr ladder, another flash and a menacing (or worried) goblin face briefly lights up, and the flare hits the other end of the inside of the hut.
(your actions!)
