[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 1118590, member: 2205"] The next morning, all three are up at the crack of dawn. There is a half-hearted argument from Baenn to track the stupid rabbit that woke him up the other night. A more serious argument is whether or not they should cut short their patrol and send a warning to Liska, or pursue the still-fresh trail of the goblin who fled last night. Upon deciding to follow the goblin, they head off into the woods together. The trail is relatively easy to follow, and the three pursue it in the same order as before, with Amallind in the front, Cyrus close behind her, and Baenn at good three or four meters behind him. After a few hours of walking, Amallind holds up her hand; she has heard a rustle in the woods. The other two look around them expectantly. Suddenly an arrow flies through the trees in front of Baenn. He sees the goblin archer a few feet away and mows him down with his greatsword. As if by magic, the woods are suddenly filled with goblins -- it's a trap! An unarmed warrior attacks Amallind, but she ducks out of the way, steps back and fires an arrow point-blank into his chest. An arrow narrowly misses Cyrus, while another grazes Baenn's shoulder. Cyrus gestures and chants; one of the attackers falls in sudden slumber. A blue dart of magical force arcs through the air to slam into Baenn, who stumbles to his knees. The source was a hobgoblin. Baenn runs up and slashes at him, but heavy undergrowth turns his blow. More arrows are in the air, Cyrus screams and slumps into the ferns, bleeding heavily from a shaft stuck in his guts. Amallind grits her teeth, tears running down her cheeks as she runs to attack another goblin, but with the sound of more chanting, she falls asleep to the forest floor as well. Baenn sees that he is alone, but has no intention of stopping. Two arrows thunk into his torso, knocking him back, but with a scream of rage he swings his sword at the hobgoblin sorcerer again. The creature merely raises an eyebrow in curiousity, stepping aside from the blow and sending another [i]magic missile[/i] blasting into Baenn. He even smiles and bows appreciatively when Baenn props himself up on his sword and rises to a hunched standing position one more time, with hatred burning in his eyes. Then two more arrows slam into his back and his world falls into blackness. [/QUOTE]
