"Tha Rock!" squeal the goblins in dismay, and those clambering through the window fall back as violently as they are able, allowing Dorgan to rush to the aid of his companions at the door.
The rules do tell that a hero will not be targeted by normal-types while their are normal-targets available, so the goblins will attempt to avoid Dorgan and target Morgan and Hiridhren instead. Those coming through the window fall back, defending, allowing Dorgan the freedom to reach the door and engage the goblins there.
And not a moment too soon, for the numbers at the door have quickly doubled and Morgan and Hiridhren are sorely beset to hold the monsters off! Dorgan ain't cowed by any number of goblins and he crashes into them like a hammer blow; hewing goblin necks and thews with Mads Cold Iron Axe, and felling half of them in short order. But even as they fall more arrive, and woe! Hiridhren the Elf is mortally punctured by the stab of a crooked goblin blade!
Morgan and Hiridhren realise they are overpowered and defend. Two more goblins arrive via the door; two will attack prior to Dorgan's arrival, the other two after.
Goblins d20=6,1, both miss. Neither Morgan nor Hiridhren have a lighter weapon, so neither gets a counter strike.
Dorgan d20=17,4,1,17; two hits: 2d6=7 hp. Injured goblin takes 2 more hp, leaving 5. Ref rolls HD for three more goblins: 3d6=6,5,5, so 5,4,4 hp. A second goblin is slain, and a third takes 1 hp damage leaving it with 3 hp.
Two remaining goblins attack Morgan and Hiridhren: d20=10,18@-4 (would hit AC 5). Hiridhren (AC 6) is hit, 1d6=5 hp and is slain (were he a PC he would only be incapacitated on 0 hp, but as he is an NPC he is instead slain).
Dorgan [MV 9" AC 3/5 HD 4+4-4 hp 17 L] (poisoned)
Morgan [MV 12" AC 7/7 HD 1 hp 8 5 L]
Hiridhren [MV 12" AC 6/6 HD 1 hp 5 0 L] (slain)
Despite Dorgan's effort there are still four goblins pressing the attack...
