Feeling the sting of the goblin's arrow and his laughter, Tarowyn grows more incensed. Along with his anger, a brilliant idea comes to the elf's mind. Quickly, he draws his bow and runs headlong at the goblin, screaming madly back at the earthen beast dogging his heels, "Follow me, rocky!" As he reaches the end of his move, the elf skids to a stop and plants two arrows in the goblin, who should also be preoccupied by the advancing mountain that walks...
OOC: Hope that made sense. I'm back. I took a little vacation from the boards.

Whitney pulls a slender wooden wand from her sleve and points it at the one of her goblins (the one Bhartus is taking) and unleashes the magics within it with a word (Magic Missle)
(Tried to post yesterday.. linkage between me and the board was iffy at best .. sorry about hte delay)-

The earthen creature turns towards the elf as he springs towards the goblin. The little bugger becomes fixated on the walking stone mass, while still keeping its arrow fixed on the elf.
Meanwhile, Whitney, with great control, unleashes her magic on the goblin locked in combat with Bhartus. The green pest's bum is suddenly burned, small wiffs of smoke rising from the scorched leather.
Jericho slashes at the wolf, his blade taking a bit of flesh out of its neck. Blood drips onto the ground, the beast obviously enraged at the injury, fangs beared.
Bhartus swings at the humiliated goblin with his mace, the twerp clearly distracted by the presense of the mage standing behind him. The blunt head of the dwarf's weapon crushing the goblin's free arm. The two goblin's slash at Norri and Bhartus, but again the heroes' armor and swiftness serve them well.
As Tarowyn advances on the goblin behind the tree, it reflexivly lets off its arrow, which strikes the elf's right leg, leaving a minor pain.
Tarowyn takes 4.
Norri stabs at his opponent, but despite extreme injury and having to keep an eye on Whitney, the goblin is just able to just barely avoid the blade with a quick sidestep.
Tarowyn is now right on top of the goblin. The walking stone creature shambles quickly behind the elf, swinging its massive arm at the narrow warrior, but Tarowyn gracefully ducks under the swing, while the goblin's eyes are wide in obvious fear at the earth spirit's size. Tarowyn moves under the creature's arm, back and up to its side, and, after avoiding another swing, quickly unleashing two arrows on the distracted goblin, who collapses to the forest floor, but not before turning belatadly to place another arrow in the elf's arm, two shafts protruding from its torso.
Tarowyn takes another 4.
The wolf lashes out at Jericho, biting the D'orite's shoulder. The crunch of both bone and armor can be heard, and a horrible pain felt.
Jericho takes 18.
The shaman in hawk form screeches, the obelisk again beginning to glow a hellish red. No effect is obvious though.
Whitney is up. Two goblins, the goblin leader, dire wolf, and earth elemental remaining. Jericho is at 5, Tarowyn is at 20. The Goblins in melee with Norri and Bhartus appear very injured.

OOC: Nice thinking, Mirth; the bluff worked. You got the goblin, but it took 2 rounds of actions and 2 AoOs, one of which hit. Still, nice thinking. I need to add Action Points to this game to make stunts like that more efficient.

Whitney frowns and unleashes anotehr blast from her wand, this time on the one that Norri is fighting, while Mist yowls from her pearch on Whitney's neck.

Norri, still trying to keep the goblin pinned between him and Whitney's horse, again makes an attempt to strike the goblin where it'll do the most harm. If Whitney is quicker to drop it though, Norri will move to flank the wolf with Jericho and strike it in a vulnerable spot if Jericho can keep it distracted.
