Err, 'scuse me, may I just, I mean if I could just squeeze through. I only need a little gap, err, if you don't mind, if that's ok, if maybe I could, well err, thanks.

A small (!!), very young (teenage), red haired, robed, slightly hunch backed dwarf, holding a staff taller than she excuses her way through from behind the companions.

OOC: Apologise her way through, I think she should be able to make it to say L83

That's odd, or rather... but you can make up your own minds, you seem to have company- concentrating on the Goblins and all...

Either way Kathra, politely and with a smile, waltzes to the front to have a look.

Kazzagin held the axe ready, waiting for the moment to strike. Krogan's fury was terrifying as he burst through the goblins, a feat that Kazzagin could not hope to emulate. Rooted at the spot, he took a while shot in tight confinement at a sitting creature and through. Pelor's luck may be with him, but more like he'll end up splitting dirt rather than goblin skulls. He needed to get in there quickly.

Cinara

"The humans have a strange game," Cinara remembers her nana telling her many years ago. "They line up carved pegs called 'pins' and roll large balls along a path at them, trying to knock as many down in one throw as they can. It's called bowling."

"Let's bowl, boys!"

OOC: delays... farthest she can get on a charge is M85 on a charge b/c of the difficult terrain (move of 5). Don't want to clog the works.... after Kazz hurls himself at the beasties, if there's still room to charge a creature, she will...if not, she'll simply move in as far as possible. MBA rolled just in case charge can go off....

GM: Remember another +2 To Hit for surprise.

Cinara wades in to the melee, and whacks Bongo in the back with her warhammer, and through the screeching and shouting, and general chaos- the Goblins begin to rise, and ready themselves, battle is joined.

Grim, then Mardred, then Kathra- then the Goblins. Remember combat advantage against Prone creatures with Melee attacks, -2 To Hit with Ranged attacks, and no change with Area/Blast attacks. You are out of the Surprise round so it's three actions.

And make it clear which Goblin you are attacking please.

GM: Hope you don't mind a little be of reinterpretation to miss out the Run which would give you -5 To Hit.

Grim lurches forward like a thing possessed, moving his arms up and down- a kind of flapping motion- his face... ugly, getting uglier all the time- mouth pinched, eyes beady, nose angular- becoming more angular by the second. (Move L86).

Until, with a burst of black feathers and the smell of the grave, Grim is gone- replaced by a flock of jet black ravens- symbols of dark lady, Grim's new Queen. The ravens swoop, flock and frenzy- scratching, pecking, biting; if only for a moment.

Until finally, with the Goblins screams still sounding, the birds of death disappear... no sign of Grim however.

One of the Goblins is killed outright, the other three are damn near scared to death, they are all bloodied- one cowers on the floor gibbering and shaking like a lost soul.

The Goblins are broken- now time to clear up.

Glorious- Grim, simply glorious.
