I am completely and utterly stumped on what to do to finish this room. This whole level is insane, but this room takes the cake.

The left site does give me problems, so there's still a chance to post that long list Oneiromancer
Here is my plan, I think it's a good one, except that it doesn't work

I can't seem to get goblins #4 and #5, the ones freed from the S orb. I tried circling around the path directly to the east, and while I can get the goblins behind me (and get one of them stuck), the other goblin follows directly behind me so I can't kill him on the bare spot on the NW checkpoint.

If I understand your question right, you are talking about the right-hand south orb, not the left-left hand south orb. And if that's the case, then I think you have hit that orb too early.

There's another place to kill goblins, besides the NW checkpoint. Oneiromancer describes it in his hint above. Instead of hitting the right-hand south orb, hit the orb that creates this second goblin-killing place.

That could work, but you can also take care of those two just as lurker was attempting, leaving just the four goblins on the right side of the room to deal with.

I'm stuck where Lurker is. Regardless of which direction I try to circle around the loop, I can't get both of them on my tail to follow without one being adjacent to me. From many repeated attempts, the only way I can keep distance between me and the lower goblin is to leave the upper goblin up in the nook where he started, and then he meets me head on on the return pass. Is there some tricky dance step I'm just missing?

For the goblin at 4 you'll need to do a loop around the area left of the door if you want to kill him on the arrows. Try the same with the goblin at 1.

However, unless you're going for a high score there's no reason you can't take those goblins back to the red X of death where you killed the other goblins

If I go to the red X of death, after stepping on all the trapdoors, the goblin at 1 gets stuck on the force arrows at the top.

You'll need to make sure you hit the top trapdoor before hitting the orb to release goblins 1 and 2; but you probably already figured that out.

To keep goblin 4 from being trapped on the arrows, draw him out. Stepping above the arrows after you kill goblin 2 should do it.

Let's start over. I have dropped all trap doors. How do I kill goblins 1-4? How do I use the arrows (and which arrows) to kill a goblin? Can I get some specifics? I am so confused! :~(

O.K. let's start over. Forget about trying to get back to the red X since that seems to be more complicated.

See the arrows above the long yellow door trapping roach 4. That's where you'll kill them. Hit the orb to release the roaches; that should be the last trapdoor dropped. After hitting the orb, head to the arrows; you can kill goblin 3 immediately. After goblin 3 is dead, goblin 4 should be shortly behind you. Circle around the area next to the long door with goblin 4 behind you. This should put you into position to kill goblin 4. Kill goblin 1 & 2 similarly. (But save first.)

Since this is really hard to describe in words, I've also attached a demo to illustrate the point.

I couldn't understand how the second killing trap worked, and had to download KevG's demo to get it, which always makes me feel like I failed at the room. This may help.

After you hit the orb, enter the arrows from the west, and move east. Now you have a goblin on your tail three squares behind you. Rotate clockwise three times, which will scare the goblin up into the oromites to the north of the arrows, from where gobby can only look at you.

Keep rotating, and know that every goblin you kill lowers Oneiromancer's blood pressure.

I have no idea how to even *begin* this level.

I cannot get past ONE goblin. I cannot get TO the first red X.

And if by some miracle I get there... if there is only one goblin near me, I cannot make him come close enough to die. And if there are more than one, they circle around me till one gets behind me, no matter what I do with my sword.

The checkpoint is a non-oremite square in an oremite field. That suggests that you need to use the same trick as in other rooms on the level:

I can't find a way to deal with the trapdoor goblins and the ones from the northeastern orb.

I know that getting the northeast trapdoor between the trapdoor goblins last is pretty much impossible from what I can tell. But from what I can tell, there's only one other trapdoor that's valid.
