A well-deserved rest

In the town of Amanad, famous for its healing waters, strange things start happening and there seems to be more at work than what meets the eye. Can a group of brave adventurers solve the riddle?

Merisiel steps forward with her rapier and says, "Don't say we didn't give you a chance to surrender after we kill you." She strikes at the guard, hoping to take him out while he's still off-balance from fear.

Action 2: Attack vs. the guard with my rapier: +5 attack, 1d8 deadly damage
Action 3: Attack vs. the guard with my rapier: +5 attack, 1d8 deadly damage

Merisiel steps forward, and attacks the man with her rapier, and again. Both times the man dodges deftly. Appartently, he is not new to armed conflict. He draws his sword and counterattacks with his short sword. The first strike hits her shoulder, a shallow wound, and the second misses.
The other thugs crowd closer, shouting and menacing.
Merisiel step, attack: r11+5=16 vs AC 17, miss.
attack: r4+0=miss.
(each consecutive attack in one round is at -5 /-10 unless you have some feat or a weapon with the agile trait (like a dagger) which gives only -4/-8.
Man 1: draw sword, attack, attack. r19+3=22-2(frightened)=20 vs 18 hit for 4 damage; r4-2-2=0 miss,
Fumbus and Carver...

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"

Carver leaps at the nearest of the foes, his meat cleaver in hand. He hacks down at the man's arm hoping to cleave it clean off right at the elbow with a single blow.

The goblin gives forth a hideous giggle, his red eyes seeming to almost glow within the chamber. He vacillates a moment on which option to use, then pulls out a thin glass tube of muddy liquid. "Warned you! Can't say we didn't give you a chance." He carefully judges the distance, then lobs the potion over his friends and right at the man.
Attack with 1 Lesser Alchemist's Fire. 'Bomber' trait, so no splash damage to my allies. +6 to Hit, 1d8 Fire damage, 1 persistent fire damage.

Fumbus throws a small tube over his friends at the man. It hits him on the chest and he starts burning.
Carver yells and moves next to Merisiel, hacking at the man. With his superior strength he hacks the burning man in his left shoulder, the blade goes down into his heart and the man drops down dead.
Fumbus:
r14+6=20 hit for 8 fire damage, +1 splash +1 persistent fire (at the end of his turn).

Carver: move, power attack (takes two actions): r10+9=19 vs AC 17. HIt for r1d6=6!+4=10. Power attack gives another 1d6: r4 for 14 damage. Dead.
Guard -23, dead.
Merisiel, Men, Fumbus, Carver

Merisiel jumps at the next man, and stabs him with her rapier. Her second attack is swiped aside by the man's mace.
The thug retaliates, raising his shield to block her further attacks, then hitting her on the shoulder with a wild, overhead blow, and missing his second strike. The second man yells "Come on, they tough! Get me some support, boys!"

Merisiel: Step, Attack r17+7=24, hit for 9 damage. Attack r11+2=13, miss.
Man: raise shield, attack r15+3=18 vs AC 18, hit for 5. Attack 12-2=10, miss.
Move Merisiel one north.
Merisiel 10/15 hp
Thug2: -9

"Just give up! We have you out classed!" He steps in and cleaves will all his might once more. It makes him sick to think what he's doing to people. Sure sure he's a butcher, but a cow or a goat, even a zombie, is something much different than a man. So he tries to image this man is just a two legged pig, that seems to help.

Fumbus clucks in disapproval, wagging a finger in the air. "Slow learner. I'm not enjoying this, you know!" He pauses, considering. "Well, kinda, but it's pointless fighting. Worse than a bar brawl, you could actually die." Not seeing them give up, he carefully aims and arcs another potion of fire over the fighting and right down into the enemies.
If Carver's attack doesn't finish Thug 2, then toss another Fire Bomb at the guy. If not, move on to the last guard. Same Bomber trait, so not splashing my allies.

Fumbus throws another firebomb at the closest man, but the bottle misses him by just an inch and explodes on the wall behind him. Carver hacks into the man-pig. The blow is brutal, and the cleaver takes off the man's heat in one clean slice. The body drops down.
The other man runs away, screaming "He's a monster! A demon! Get away while you can!!!"
Fumbus: throw r12+5=17 vs 18, miss.
Carver: move, power attack: r19+9=28 vs 18 Critical!
Damage: 2d6+4=r1+r3+4=8 doubled to 16. Dead.
Man: move, move, move
Merisiel 10/15
Fight over for now.
