[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 4882731, member: 11146"] Talashia launches another blast of pure magical energy at the 'dog'-riding goblin, and moves cautiously closer, the better to bring her elemental powers into play. [COLOR="Red"]The bolt of white-hot energy slams into the Goblin Commando atop the found goblin dog, dealing 4 points of damage. [/COLOR] Obviously injured and now bleeding, the Commando growls at Talashia and points a finger at the white-haired witch. The tawny rough collie continues to lope towards the goblin interlopers while barking loudly. Upon gaining the front of the building nearest the Goblin Commando, Taran is in better position to deduce that the human man hiding behind the rain barrel by the White Deer Inn is a noble fop of some sort--the white lace sleeve cuffs, though dirty, are of Korvosan quality and mark the young-seeming nobleman as a man of family and position. The human stares wide-eyed at the rain of white hail and fire unleashed by Talashia and shivers--though whether from fear of goblins or the white-haired witch, Taran is uncertain. Either way, the fop looks too frightened to run and completely incapable in a fist fight. Tac cheers as his first arrow hits its mark against the goblin dog. Tac's cheer is lessened as he realizes his cousin Elyra is perhaps the better shot but without her bow. Ever mindful of Elyra's talent, Tac rushes to his cousin's side, dropping both bow and arrows at her feet.
