Stuck between a rock and some other kind of rock

My group is currently in a dungeon fighting a ton of goblins. The problem being that one of us, who shall go unnamed, has created an environment where every single goblin in the dungeon knows roughly where we are and are heading to fight us. We can't return from where we came from because there is another foe in that direction that will kill us if we don't return with an artifact of their's that we are to take from the goblins.

We have a fairly defensible room to stand our ground in with only one doorway to come through and a smaller hallway to fall back to if need be, but most of the goblins are spear chuckers. So, they have range and reach 2, making it a little difficult to mow down about 100 of them while avoiding major injuries for the 6 of us. And only 2 or 3 of us are truly combatants.

The party consists of a soldier that is good with a sword, a fire Mage that is decent with a sword, a strong old man with shield and mace, a dwarf with a shield and axe, an archer with a short bow 20 arrows and a knife, and a one armed fire Mage.

I'm mainly looking to use this thread as a sounding board for suggestions; how would you and your party get through the goblin horde with the people you have on hand with the most minimal of party loss, let alone injury?
