Having a lot of trouble with goblin tactics in this room. I can't seem to kill more than one and even doing that leaves me pretty vulnerable. Plainly I need a refresher course on technique. Any hints will be welcome.

While not efficient, there's an easy technique to deal with this room.

Progressive hints, so don't reveal what you don't need.

Always looking for the active solution, you sometimes overlook the easy ones. Thanks.

Now, I give you poor thanks for the help - just took over #1 in Armory 1S, 2W. Sorry :~(

Nah, that's fine. Personally, I'm surprised I got so many #1s; I think I owe most of them to the hold just not having been fully explored and optimized by the veterans. Although there *are* some #1s down there that I'm particularly proud of, but I'm sure most (if not all) will vanish in time ^_^

Just as a side point - the solution given by TFMurphy was the one I actually intended to use. You can probably do it differently by being careful with the roaches, but that solution was my intended one.

I can kill three of the goblins, but in doing so I trap myself also. Is it possible I am in the wrong bottleneck?

You're doing it right, junglejane. What do you mean when you say that you're getting trapped? It ought to be possible to escape from that area.

Thank you Josh. Once I was sure I was in the right spot, I rewired my brain and solved the problem.
