There's not much to say about this one. Well, maybe a minor technical note:

The only person who would actually be able to kill any of the goblins in one shot would be Valdren with a lucky roll. The rules say that nobody can be killed (exceptions include constructs, undead, and I believe oozes) until they reach -10 hitpoints. So even if a goblin has a pathetic score of 1 hitpoint, it would still take 11 damage to kill it. What you're actually seeing is a bunch of goblins being knocked unconscious.

I grappled for a while with this comic, debating whether or not it should be bloody. In the end, I decided it shouldn't be. I feel bad for the goblins. They don't really stand a chance. Because of that, I didn't want to make their demise overly bloody. Maybe later the comic will get bloodier, when the party start fighting orcs and zombies and all manner of gory creatures. But for now it isn't.
