[ic] nameless II: the seventh from seven

Seeing Oscar go down, all thoughts about the emptyheaded insult made by his friend disappear. Nate clenches his jaw, grits his teeth, and like an angry bull he wades in next to Cromwell, flailing about with his mace, braining any goblin silly enough to get between him and oscar.

Oscar looks up at the goblin faces around him. Oh this is wonderful. Grandmother will never forgive me if I die in such a stupid way.

ooc: Oscar should be dead or dieing. he only has 8 hits and has taken more than that in this battle so far. just to let you know.
 


Round 5 cont ...

With a roar Cromwell clambers up onto the wagon as the goblins scatter, leaping from the open tail of the wagon. Up Cromwell climbs onto the drivers board and then over the back of the seat into the wagon {mv}. Oscar lies awkwardly in a spreading pool of blood. As Cromwell squats to check the boy his eyes and mace sweep the wagon. But there is no sign of any goblins remaining on or around the wagon. Oscar is still .... but he breathes.

Nate arrives at side of the wagon {mv} to find Cromwell crouching beside Oscar's body.

Archer begins to push forwards as fast as he can while being able to keep his bow ready {mv}. As he approaches the wagon, the fight between Lisa and the two goblins comes into view from behind boulder {9}. He pauses and sets, but there is just no clear shot. He considers moving forwards but decides to wait for an opening.

A little way off there is a simultaneous sharp cry of pain and snarl of triumph as goblin {b} catches Lisa a solid blow with his flail.

ooc: Nate and Cromwell have a std action action remaining.

End Round 5
 



Seeing his friends need some help, and he cannot have a clear shot, Hewik will take his staff and go help Lisa to get rid of her two goblins.
 

Round 5 tidy up

Nate barely arrives at the wagon before he pushes away from it a leaps around the felled horse, still lashed into its harness, and towards Lisa and the goblins. Goblin {b}, with his back to the wagon, is unaware of Nate until the last moment. But its too late to avoid the descending mace. The blow crashes down on the creature's shoulder {std: attack} and the creature crashes down to its knees, before collapsing face down into the dirt.

ooc: Nate uses the remainder of his mv action to close.

Cromwell presses his hand to the wound, but the soft crunch feel is enough to tell him that there is more damage here than he can deal with. Bones have been broken. And Cromwell suspects that that is not the least of it. Oscar's breathing is rapid and ragged, and has a wet whistling sound. The way the boy lies looks bad to Cromwell, and with a gentle heave, he shifts Oscar. Oscar's breathing slows and deepens and the flow of blood slows {std: heal chk}.

Round 5 tidy up done.
 

Round 6

Goblins may be cruel, mean and spiteful, but they are not completely stupid. Goblin {f} withdraws as fast as his skinny little scaly green legs can carry him {mv 40ft}.

ooc: Hewik, Cromwell and Nate are up next.
 

Hewik, seeing a goblin fleeing, got an idea. He shout "Put down your weapons and surrender, and your lives will be spared!"

OCC: Try to intimidate the Goblins into stopping the fight
