[ic] nameless I: prologue

[DrZombie]

SCRUNCH.... SCRUNCH.... The hammer makes a grinding noise as the goblins heads cave in. Eyes wide, nostrils flaring, Nate looks around, a look of anger mixed with horror in his eyes as he tries to comprehend what he has done.
Seeing his friends hurt, and the knight being set upon by more goblins, he roars in anger : "ENOUGH.... ENOUGH I SAY"
Trembling with rage he strides to the nearest goblin, like an avalanche, bellowing in anger if he sees his target make another move, shaking his gore-splattered hammer at the subject of his wrath as he comes inevitably closer, a rage-filled blood-and-brain-splattered pissed-off blacksmith on a bad, bad day

[move and attack or move and move, no charge: looking as intimidating as humanly possible.]

[OOC: Woohoo, three goblins on my own, GO NATE GO, GO NATE GO]

 

[NeuroZombie]

Heavily wounded and winded, Sadoloth spends a moment to catch his breath while glancing at the others to see if any appear to be as wounded as he is, or worse.

ooc: spot+4

If he is the worse-off in his opinion:
Knowing that the battle is not yet over and also knowing of his own dire wounds, he begins to chant as he casts a spell of healing upon himself.

If another seems to be more wounded than he:
Seeing that one other is more wounded than he, Sadoloth staggers over towards him/her, preparing to cast a spell of healing upon them.

ooc: cure light wounds, of course

Cromwell scans the area, notes the enemies, and briefly considers the situation. And then, silent except for the clanking of his armor, he charges the nearest Goblin and attempts to smite it with his mace. For St. Cuthbert! he thinks, saving his breath.

Lisa stands frozen to the spot - her mind locked in a horrible battle between the desire to put as much distance between herself and the goblins, and the fascinating horror of watching the knight being slowly beaten to death before her eyes.

Archer takes a couple of deep breaths and bounds down the slope towards Oscar and the battle - butching? - going on across the clearing. Cromwell is but a couple of strides behind him. Oscar starts as the two appear from behind, his bloodied rapier comming up before he realises who it is and lowers it again. The three of them look to the embattled knight, then back to each other. A nod agrees it.

Jimni watches them go with glazed eyes. His arms are wrapped tightly around himself and his head shakes in disbelief.

A hundred feet away, on the other side of the clearing, the goblin {a} boss watches in disbelief as the last of his sentries are cut down by the townspeople!. His lack of attention to the matter at hand nearly costs him his legs as the knight rallies for perhaps the last time.

As you gather your wits and breath, the boss leaps back and begins a screaming at the remaining four goblins {b,c,d,e}, sending them scrambling for javlins and position between you and the slumped knight. Spittle and curses fly as the boss hops from foot to foot in rage and frustration.

And Nate, his eyes wild and his voice cracked, roars as he rises to his feet.

"ENOUGH ... ENOUGH I SAY."



"YES ENOUGH ... ENOUGH I SAY ALSO."











Out of the forest to the north of the goblins lumbers a huge brown bear.

 

[doghead]

And an ogre.

And an ogre.

[OOC : bugger]

 

[DrZombie]

Cursing under his breath, Nate scrambles towards the fight Cromwell is in, hoping to finish it quickly before the knight succumbs.

Bugger this, we're gonna die.

I'll never finish my rose now.

 

[doghead]

ooc: just a clarification - oscar, archer and cromwell are about 70-80 feet to the NE of the knight.

The ogre is about 45-50 feet to the NW of the knight, the bear about 10 feet closer.

If nate can get to the knight he will do so, trying to gain time for the rest, maybe try to get away from the ogre by dragging the knight.

(sprint to the knight, stopping when getting too close to a goblin, trying not to provoke an AoO, attacking the lead goblin and hope that he won't get slaughtered))

"Lets get to the knight, he'll die if we don't"

 

[Greegan]

Oh, e and flutterguts...

Archer slows when he gets to Nate and look to him for direction.

"What the hell do we do now? We're not going to actually fight that thing....are we?! 'e'll take yer 'ead off with one swing!" He says, letting some of his more crude venacular slip out.

"My Lord!" he yells to Oscar, "Watch out! They brought a forest ogre!"

ooc: Archer will advance with Nate. Shield held high in partial defense.
