Blobs can now spawn up to three cores per event (#21377)

Blobs are too trivial, this should make them exciting. 

Requirements for this event to proc are two engineers, so in the
worst-case you still have two people with an emitter each who can each
destroy one blob and circle to the third after.

Could use scrutiny from someone more familiar with event code than
myself, I feel I've stepped on something here.
