(OOC: Anton, 30' was infeasible due to Darkvision--you launched the attack at 80 feet, which is close enough for Rillian and Cade to charge while simultaneously far enough to be outside the 60' Darkvision radius of the guards and also exactly at the range increment lor Light Xbows. 80 feet is also the distance that a Light spell illuminates if you have Low-Light Vision)
*Cade charges one of the guards and delivers a powerful shock through the hobgoblin's body with a piercing blow, nearly defeating it right away.*
*Tandi tries to sneak around the hobgoblins, but she trips and makes a bit of a spectacle of herself along the way.*
*One of the two guards who noticed the attack in time to react shouts out in Goblin:*
[SBLOCK]
"Treachery! They return to slaughter us in our sleep!"
[/SBLOCK]
*And he draws a sword and slashes at Cade, the blade meeting the tough leather of Cade's armour, deflecting harmlessly. Nonetheless, the sound of the fighting and the yell awaken the sleeping hobgoblins in shock.*
*Rillian charges the shouting hobgoblin, pouring his anger into the blow as he cuts a deep gash in the hobgoblin's chest, though not enough to finish him.*
*Anton nods and takes his sights on both of the injured hobgoblins, firing two arrows with incredible speed, each arcing towards a different hobgoblin.*
*The first arrow strikes into the neck of the hobgoblin who has yet to fully react, and blood drips from his mouth instead of sound as he tries to scream out, falling backwards onto the ground.*
*The second guard raises his shield deftly to block the arrow, which clinks harmlessly off the metal of the shield as it falls to the ground at his feet.*
*Scun moves up to one of the prone hobgoblins with his trusty spear held before him.*
