Player 2's main phase begins.
Player 2 gets priority and casts Volley Veteran. He pays the cost of 3R using mana obtained in an unspecified way. This triggers the ability of Staff of the Flame Magus.
Player 2 would get priority, but there is a triggered ability to put on the stack. Player 2 puts "Whenever you cast a red spell or a Mountain enters the battlefield under your control, you gain 1 life." on the stack.
Player 2 gets priority and passes.

The top object on the stack (the ability put there in step 3) resolves. Player 2 gains 1 life and now has 4.

Player 2 would get priority, but there are triggered abilities to put on the stack. A) Player 2 puts "When Volley Veteran enters the battlefield, it deals damage to target creature an opponent controls equal to the number of Goblins you control." on the stack. You didn't say anything about Player 1's creatures, but I'll assume there is one to choose as the target. B) Player 1 puts one of the "Whenever a creature enters the battlefield under enchanted player's control, that player loses 1 life and you gain 1 life." abilities on the stack. C) Player 1 puts another of the "Whenever a creature enters the battlefield under enchanted player's control, that player loses 1 life and you gain 1 life." abilities on the stack. D) Player 1 puts the last of the "Whenever a creature enters the battlefield under enchanted player's control, that player loses 1 life and you gain 1 life." abilities on the stack.
Player 2 gets priority and passes.
Player 1 gets priority and passes.
The top object on the stack (the ability put there in step 10D) resolves. Player 2 loses 1 life (going to 3) and player 1 gains 1 life (going to 2).
Player 2 gets priority and passes.
Player 1 gets priority and passes.
The top object on the stack (the ability put there in step 10C) resolves. Player 2 loses 1 life (going to 2) and player 1 gains 1 life (going to 3).
Player 2 gets priority and passes.
Player 1 gets priority and passes.
The top object on the stack (the ability put there in step 10B) resolves. Player 2 loses 1 life (going to 1) and player 1 gains 1 life (going to 4).
Player 2 gets priority and passes.
Player 1 gets priority and passes.
The top object on the stack (the ability put there in step 10A) resolves. Volley Veteran deals at least 1 damage to the target creature; you didn't say whether there were any other Goblins.
There might be a state-based action, depending on the toughness of the target creature for Volley Veteran's ability.

Player 1 has given player 2 3 Trespasser's Curse.
It's Player 2's turn, he's at 3 life. He has a Staff of the Flame Magus in play already and plays Volley Veteran.
Player 1 is at 1 life.
