Out of Character: So, I just totalled the health up, and while it was close to zero before, now both Jhod and Theaton are below zero HP. If I did the calculation right, Theaton is at -2 hit points and Jhod has taken 31 damage, making him also unconscious. Do you calculate the same?
The goblin and mite both attack the kobold. Finding himself outnumbered, they drop him to the ground. Theaton and Jhod both bleed (1 damage). Shivas runs straight up to Jhod and heals him (10 health).
The mite hits her in return (4 damage Shivas), but the goblin misses. Jhod knows he can't channel here in the open, as the healing will also flow to the incapacitated enemies. He defensively casts a cure on himself (11 health), then stands up, provoking from the goblin and mite (Jhod 8 damage), starting to move 5 feet towards the tunnel leading to the next room. Shivas heals Theaton for 9 damage, allowing him to get straight up, and crush the resilient goblin.
The mite sees he is surrounded, and he calls in his loudest squeaky voice what you can only assume is a cry for help. He misses his attack, so Theaton counter-attacks him (Mite 5-2 damage). Meanwhile Shivas cures Theaton again (3 health) and Jhod channels from the corner of the room, warping his healing burst to not affect the 2 downed goblins (Selective Channeling for 9 health to all targets), and standing far enough from the mites so the heal doesn't reach them. The wounds on the tick also begin closing and it stops bleeding its clear-blue, stinking hemolymph.
The mite misses again, but to his joy you hear a the pattering of footsteps coming from deeper in the hive, next to where Jhod is standing. Jhod almost hits Mikmek as his arrow goes off on an angle. Mikmek picks up the spear and stabs the mite to no avail. Shivas shoots and Theaton slices, but both miss. Jhod shouts "I can see more of them coming!"
The mite misses his opportunity attack as everybody runs away. Theaton Leads the way, climbing across the chasm. Shivas however is not so lucky, her muttered prayers go unanswered as the dirt gives way and she finds herself falling 20 feet on top of the body of the centipede (11 damage). Jhod and Mikmek make it across but begin panicking when they see her left behind. The single mite catches up and readies himself to throw a dart.
"I'll need your rope!" Shouts Jhod as he begins searching through Theaton's bag. He throws a length of it down and Shivas begins climbing. She soon slips and falls 7 feet, while Theaton's first arrow misses. The mite's dart sails through the air and hits Theaton (2 damage, 2 damage Jhod).
Jhod and Mikmek haul Shivas up as she climbs, now close to reaching the top. 6 more mites run into view as Theaton misses again but so does another dart from the Mite. Shivas clambers over the top, breathing with exhaustion. But there is no shower of darts from the mites. The lead mite seems to be ordering the others back, and three split away, while the remaining four begin their chase.
In front of the party lies the torture room, where three kobold corpses hang on the wall, and six tied up mites litter the floor. The exit is a tight chute in the ceiling at the end of the room. There are many options to get up to the hole which is 12 feet up, Acrobatics to jump or Climb to climb a short 5 foot overhang. Then you need to climb the chute afterwards.
Theaton will tell the others to climb on up and he will bring up the rear as he continues to shoot at any mites that come in the room.
Attack rolls with modifications: 17, 13, 16, 19
Damage from attacks: 4, 6, 2, 5
Once the others are up and climbing Theaton will head up.
Jhod tries jumping, then climbing up the wall. The roots help, but he can't get himself past the overhang, and falls. Shivas instead boosts Mikmek, who jumps and grabs the roots of the chute, then easily climbs up 7 feet. Theaton sees the four mites come back into view, climbing across the chasm. He aims at the leader in front who can't dodge to the side, hitting him and stopping him in his tracks as he hangs on for life (2 damage Grabbles). Unluckily the second arrow skims off armor, and the mite advances.
Mikmek finishes his climb, Shivas struggles to lift Jhod, but barely makes it, and Jhod starts his climb, taking the rope with him. Theaton's next shot hits, but the mite's fey skin resists the damage, however the following shot hits it and winds it, all it can do is finish its climb, and fall to the ground, clutching its chest. The other three mites are shocked and angered, and all rush to finish their climb.
Jhod finishes his climb and drops the rope for Shivas to hold onto. She is hauled up to the hole, then tries to climb, but fails and falls straight back down. Theaton misses two arrows (10, 6 unmodified), and two mites finish climbing and get ready to run at him, daggers drawn. One mite still dangles above the chasm.
Out of Character: I don't believe your rolls are currently wrong since we already agreed to them, but could you always post your modifier once with each set of rolls. You can write out one roll fully, or you can put the modifier before the colon, whatever you prefer. This time I wasn't sure if you wanted to rapid shot. I assumed you would since there were so many enemies to dispatch.
