[QUOTE="Aust Thale, post: 7201382, member: 6804768"] [b]Joseth Retreats With Intent to Follow[/b] ~ [COLOR="#FF0000"]Tiassal...oh no! [/COLOR]~ Joseth reacted instinctively upon seeing the goblins. They were stunted creatures, twisted creatures, not usually this clever, and not usually this bold. The hobgoblin certainly upped their moral. The scale of carnage around him did not quicken his resolve or his stomach. He briefly wondered about the relic as well as Tiassal. Had this been something that was planned, or was this simply being at a really wrong place at a really terrible time. The back of Joseth's mouth burned, his jaw clenched. Tears briefly welled up as his nocked another arrow. The horn hadn't startled him, and for that matter, neither did the hobgoblin. However, his presence combined with the horde and the fact that they were using alchemy as a battle tactic gave him pause. The bloody entrails and the smell had reached his nose; the adrenaline rush made the stink noxious. He noticed the body parts. The herd and party had been slaughtered, apparently with prejudice. In fact, it appeared the goblins did not distinguish between the herd and humans. With the horn and presence of the hobgoblin, his mind was taken off of the scene for just a moment. Surely there would be a reckoning; however, not if he overestimated his luck and his chances. The woman and her beast were withdrawing. She said something to him... Yes, he would follow her, but not before delivering a parting gift. He quickly calculated whether he should cover her retreat directly, or, if she appeared safely away, he should try to at least slow the closest goblin or two down. He yelled back at her, "[COLOR="#0000FF"]RUN. FAST.[/COLOR]" [ooc] TO BE CONTINUED - see questions below; I will delete and replace the ending of this post after answers tomorrow. [/ooc] [ooc] Questions: # of goblins in war party (est.)?; What round are we currently in? Does Joseth have one round to take a parting shot at the closing Hobgoblin and not be in range of the war party return fire for 1 round? How far away are the closer two (2) goblins, and how close are they to Shelladda and Ruddah? Do the closer goblins appear to have ranged weapons? The bushes that Joseth came through? How thick/bushy are they? [/ooc] [/QUOTE]
