One hand tightly holds his great axe, ready to chop those who come near, and the other hand maintains a firm grasp on Meepo's shoulder.  Though the lizard slave doesn't understand the common tongue, Grotz growls, "Stay" at the kobold.  Judging by Meepo's quivering, the petite kobold has no intention of going anywhere, save for possibly a dead faint to the floor. When he hears the doors open, Elyan says, "Who's there? Tell me, now!"   Hearing his allies reply, Elyan quickly formulates a plan.  "If you can, leave the leader to me. But if you have to attack him, let me know."  Cut off by the sound of a bow string thrumming and the ensuing growl of pain from a hobgoblin further into the room, Elyan finds himself with answer enough.  Staying put, Elyan lifts his voice in song, that the souls of his companions be bolstered with courage.Talgren springs forward.  Darting to Karl's left, the youth swings his weapon and swings at Hobgoblin2 (HG2) but misses rather badly.  The pair of leather-clad brutes fill the long pillared hall with their gutteral jeers at the human's miss.  The three goblin archers standing behind the wooden table inside the chamber beyond the open doorway fire black-fletched arrows at Karl, Talgren, and Grotzkoshter.  The cover provided by the stone pillars proves invaluable.  Karl and Grotz are kept from harm, but Talgren is not so lucky.  The arrow fired by Goblin2 (G2) sinks into the unarmored boy's mid-section, spilling Talgren's hot blood and dealing 2 points of damage.Initiative:Kaeleen 21Karl 12Hobgoblins 8Grotz 8Elyan 6Talgren 5Goblins 4</blockquote>
