Nevertheless the creature seems confident in its own abilities; and dressed in full plate armour with a wicked looking bladed chain in its hands… The action gets underway. Sinruth, in the doorway is hit by an arrow- courtesy of Snatch, and then by two Acid Orbs in quick succession- the goblin chief screams and whirls his chain furiously- he lashes out, catches Miss Teri around her right leg and then yanks the shadar-kai off her feet and closer to him. Sinruth growls and then stomps on Miss Teri, still not finished the goblin stomps off- out of sight dragging the bloodied, almost unconscious shadar-kai with him.

Miss Teri has her own solution to the problem, she Shadow Jaunts- disappearing momentarily only to reappear behind Sinruth, and yet the chieftain still manages to avoid her attack. Snatch and Gargemel rush through the menhirs to catch up with the action. Chiggers and Thug keep the pressure up on the goblin, although honours are even- Thug has his legs taken from beneath him with a whip of Sinruth’s chain, the bugbear manages to get his feet again and slice back with his Steel Serpent Strike. Miss Teri has by now managed to sneak away- get out of the melee, she’s now part of the artillery, which on cue fires.
