They dash forward, heedless of danger, the feathers on his sharrash streaming behind him.Seeing the halfling charge towards the enemy in the back of the cave, Vistrathis carefully moves forward, shouting a warning to his companion."Wait!  This is the perfect setup for a trap!"Not willing to fall into the trap, himself, Vistrathis draws his blade and begins to recite the words to a spell, drawing upon the energies of arcane thunder.  Keeping an eye out for an ambush, Vistrathis was ready for any trouble that might appear.Riding forward, all can be heard form Haltor is a loud The best way to foil a trap is to spring it! This Haltor seemed very different from the knowledgeable halfling from the journey. This Haltor, whoever he was, was mad.Alex reaches into a pocket in his clothes and pulls out an orb that swirls with arcane energy. He steps to the side to get a clearer view of the cavern and sees Haltor rush in. "Wait..."  Alex warns, but its too late. The young mage moves into the mouth of the cavern and prepares to launch psychic energy at anyone that gets close to the halfling.Haltor's plan seems to work as a multitude of hobgoblin's appear from behind the boulders, even the one that Haltor's in front of!As one rounds the corner, Alex's mental blast slams into the hobgoblin, dropping the foe.The rest swarm at Haltor, two of them drawing minor wounds on the halfling warrior, but he manages to deflect one. Another appears from behind a rock and fires an arrow at Alex, getting retribution for his fallen ally. The scimitar wielders and glaive wielder move into a more advantageous position.[sblock=Monster Actions]LS73 moves out of rock and towards Haltor.
