Round 3
Cromwell.
Mareta, half blinded by tears of fear and shame, runs blindly through the forest. As she appears from out of the forest ahead, Cromwell sees her catch her foot on a root, stumble and crash heavily to the ground. The fall obviously winded her as she is on her knees gasping for breath as Cromwell gets to her. She looks up and sees Cromwell and screams hysterically, lashing out wildly at him while trying to scramble away.

Round 3
Archer catches Jimni's eye and motions to pass him the staff. Jimni nods and holds out a hand. Archer steps up to the top of the slope and beside Jimni, and passes Jimni the staff. Jimni clutches at it, and for a moment Archer thinks that he is going to drop it. But he manages not to. A quick glance at the nearby goblin {l} shows that the creature is stilled dazed - it seems to notice Archer's presence but just stares drunkenly while holding its head. Archer then grabs the fallen {k} goblin's shield and pulls it onto his arm, then picks up the morningstar {actions completed}. The other goblin {l} watches the two as if through a fog, then begins to reach for his weapon.
Lisa, now surrounded by friends, glances at the gash in her side. She touches it gently and winces {mv action}. But with a goblin {f} just thirty ft in front of them, there is little time to do anything. She steps back from the fallen goblin at her feet, grits her teeth, and sets her staff {5'step+ready std}.
The goblin {a} in the centre is screaming at the others around the knight, gesticulating wildly. The goblins close in and begin to harry the knight. One gets a shield bash to the face {c}, and another barely avoids a chest high thrust of the sword. But one {d} gets through the knights defenses, striking a blow to the leg that cause the knight to cry out and fall to his knees. The "boss" goblin {a} cries out in triumph and, dropping his shield, leaps in swinging his morningstar for a two handed overhead blow. The knight gets his shield up in time, but barely has the strength to keep the shield from being driven down on top of him.
Sadolath has time to register the goblin's feral grin as it pulls its morningstar and leaps towards him {mv action}. Had the goblin had its morningstar to hand, Sadolath would never have had time to do anything. But with that slight window, he hooks his foot under the staff and flickes it up into his hands {Dex Sv 17 vs DC 15}. The goblin closes, swinging awkwardly. Sadolath sidesteps it easily.
Jimni secures his grip on the staff and swings at the goblin {l} with a madness born of fear and release. Its not a great shot, but the goblin's attempt to fend it off are weak and slow and Jimni's staff cracks it a solid blow {att melee dam 4}. The creature staggers to its left a few steps.
ooc: Nathan and Hewik are up. Oscar, attack {f}, got it.

A less temperate man might have shouted "Dammit woman, I'm here to help you, not hurt you!" Cromwell, however, knows that there is more to be done. He can still hear the battle, and the girl's misconceptions about half-orcs can be corrected later. Currently, though, someone still needs help, and the girl seems to not be badly hurt. All he says to her as he jogs past is a gruff "Get back to the town, and send for help!"

Round 3
ooc: DrZ, imagin a clock with Nate at the center. There is one goblin {j} 20 ft away at 5:30 and another {i} 25ft away at 7:00. At the moment, Nate has a dying goblin at his feet, the ground slopes down some (6ft drop) on his left and there is a tree some 5ft away at 3:00. All of which provide a degree of protection. Nate could reach either goblin with a move or charge but it will expose his flank to the other goblin and take him away from the others (Lisa and Hewik 15ft away at 9:00 and Sadolath. Jimni and Archer 20ft away at 10:30). Let me know.
Hewik steps back with Lisa, putting himself at her left shoulder. The both have the a tree and the slope at their back. "Fetch" he says, pointing to the javlin lying on the slope near Archer. The dog bounds off and works the javlin til it can get a grip on one end of it. It proceeds to drag the weapon back to where Hewik waits.
Oscar is about to stride forward to close with the goblin {f} when the creature leaps forwards with a yell and charges him. The goblins blow finds it's mark {att melee dam 1} but only just. The blow throws Oscar off balance a bit, his strike is a little rough but the goblin's charge drives it into the attack {att melee dam 3}.

Oscar gasps at his wound and sees the wound on the Goblin. He smiles and slashes again.
