Jericho blade tears some flesh out of the bear's neck as it attacks from all fours. The red glow of the D'orite's magic blade is soon replaced by the red blood now dripping down the bear's brown fur. The beast lets out a loud "ROAR!!!" in response to its pain.
Despite being under immediate threat of goblin assault, Bhartus is able to mumble a prayer without compromising his defense. Ten feet behind the bear, a white light explodes from the earth, sending shockwaves along the ground, putting the bear off balance. It didn't seem to suffer greatly, though it does look stunned at the assault of divine magic.
The goblin to the left near the edge of the woods fires off another arrow from its shortbow. Again, the nimble elf is able to avoid any serious damage beyond a slight blemmish on his armor.
The other two goblins lay into Bhartus and Norri. Bhartus' armor easily withstands the assualt from the small sized shortsword while the halfling ducks under the blade of his assailant. Norri responds with a quick stab of his dagger, but only manages to tear a hole in the goblin's studded leather armor.
Obviously irrate at the progress of the battle, the black eagle lets out a screech. A slight rumble is initiated in the ground immediatly north of Tarowyn as the obelisk on which the goblin shaman is perched begins to glow a distinct red. Suddenly a red flash lets out infront of Tarowyn, fading to reveal a strange creature; standing 8ft tall on two black, stone legs, its like a walking hill, its clublike arms of jagged stone hanging at its sides, its featureless head staring blankly at the elf. One black stone arm rises and falls down as if to crush Tarowyn, but the elf quickly sidesteps the creature's attack. A rumbling can felt as its fist slams into the ground.
Whitney is up. The summoned creature stands immediatly north of Tarowyn

Whitney frowns at the motions of the spell as the unearly creature forms. "Right no more of them." she whispers as she points towards the shaman and casts a magic missle his way.
Tarowyn, after dancing around the earthen beast's attack, rapidly pulls two arrows in succession and fires them at he goblin hiding at the edge of the woods. Both fly past either side of the tree trunk the goblin is using for cover. The goblin laughs with overt derision.
Meanwhile, Whitney's arcane bolts hurtle over Tarowyn, Jericho, and both their enemies towards the shaman perched atop the obelisk. They explode in flashes of blue light, followed by a loud squack, leaving the hawk angry, many of its feathers falling down to the ground.
In the dead center of the surrounding chaos, Jericho's sword arm shows its trademark resolve, descending in a smooth downward motion on the bear, still stunned by Moradin's aide. The beast's head is sundered in two, its legs collapsing under the lifeless weight of torso. (critical)
Bhartus responds to the thrust of the sword-wielding goblin who he faces with a bash of his mace, but only meets air as the little warrior dodges.
The goblin in the woods returns fire on the beleagured Tarowyn, a small arrow lodging it the elf's arm. The two other goblin raiders renew their assault on Bhartus and Norri but both halfling and dwarf dodge and parry easily. Norri responds with a thrust of his dagger that leaves a large wound in the goblin's thigh, dark blood dripping through its armor into the soil.
Tarowyn takes 5.
The shaman, seeing its bear felled by Jericho, stares at the D'orite. As it does so, its large hawk eyes begin to glow a violent red, matching the magical illumination of the obelisk. Suddenly, a whispy red bold emerges from the stone, reaching into the woods. After a brief second it fades, but from the direction where its magic traveled, a huge from emerging from the edge of the clearing, moving with unbelievable speed towards Jericho's (left) side. The immense gray wolf seems as big as a horse, its eyes a burning red, its thick, brissly coat of fur showing the same intensisty. Its huge maw opens and reaching out in an attempt to grasp Jericho's torso, but the warrior's enchanted armor protects him from the wolf's teeth.
The large stone creature makes another attempt to slam the side of the elf's face, but its stone frame makes it too clumsy by half and it only finds air.
Tarowyn and Whitney are up. The brown bear is now dead in case anyone missed it, but don't worry, I still have those Summon spells.

ooc: Krug and Festy, I hate to give you tactical advise, but if you will take a look at the map, you will note a perfect oppurtunity to flank the goblins using Whitney. There's no reason she has to risk those AoOs for nothing.
