Hoping to save resources, I pull out the lower powered fireball scroll I crafted last night this time, sending it streaking towards the already scorched hobgoblins to my south. Then I focus on my crossbow, sending bolts after the more likely seeming targets, hoping to eliminate the group to the south so those on the other side could be focused upon.
Out of Character: Kn, by RAW characters can freely move through the spaces of allies, it is only stopping in the same that presents problems. So people can go past the guy at J7 in order to back out of this hall as I was hoping. "You can move through a square occupied by a friendly character, unless you are charging. When you move through a square occupied by a friendly character, that character doesn’t provide you with cover."
I think another rule says you move at half speed through the squares of others, but I can't find it now. Its not a major problem either way for this situation.

Being cut off from the front line again Jonathan puts his most lethal weapon in it's sheath and pulls out the spear for it's reach and drops it up and then down between Rachel and Ghost before thrusting it at the Hobgoblins.
In Iron Guard Stance, declaring any target I hit to be at -4 to hit other targets beside me.
LtA = If I hit, others get +4 to hit target directly in front of Rachel.
CS = If I hit, I heal Rachel.
Jason sends a lesser fireball towards the Hobgoblins in front of you as the Elven guards are making short work of the ones who tried to box you in. You see the hobgoblins in front fall from the last fireball clearing the way for you to move forward if you wish.
"Nothing quite like a bit of overwhelming firepower. Right, let's clear out the rest!"
I'll turn and start firing at any targets in front of the elves that I can get a bead on.
Edit: forgot I C, +2 to the tohit rolls.

Whispering to Rachel, "Are we going to advance? If we do, don't go into any new corridors." Trying to sound helpful, but not trying to order her around.
Out of Character: What is the Bard's inspire at?
LtA, IB & DtF still available.

A thought occurs to me, and I call up to the elven guards, "Try to take one or two alive if you can! We might get some information from them!"
Out of Character: By default, inspire courage is currently at +1, but the badge of valor I made for him a little while ago adds another +1 to that if used. So +2 right now.
