They wear chainshirts and carry longswords and wooden shields.The first of them heads towards Emagor, Kordunn and Storm from the north, while another tries to pin Eldwyn and his mount against the nearby wall by moving around him. A third moves in from the south, directly towards Kordunn, and is welcomed by a ray of flame from the Azuthian. The fiery projectile hits home and badly scorches the hobgoblin, that continues moving forward only to run right into the dwarf's polearm and dropping to the cobblestone, unconscious, as a result.Storm now fires two arrows into the direction of the first hobgoblin, one hits home and severely damages the humanoid, while the other barely misses Emagor's right ear.Eldwyn would like to use his sling to skiprock a pair of hobgoblins, but being hindered by the nearby assailant with no simple way to retreat away from him, he decides otherwise, dropping the sling into his shield hand while drawing the flail from his belt the halfling knocks the weapon into the hobgoblins face, wounding him in the process.Three more hobgoblins close in and take position near the adventurers. These are also clad in chainshirts, but carry a pair of swords each, a longsword and a shorter one.The goblin mage seems to have decided that it's not the time to wait things out with two of his allies already down and becomes visible once more as three force darts fly from his hand and race towards Eldwyn, easily hitting him in the chest and punching through his armor, that is totally ineffective against the magic. While the halfling is still in the saddle, he feels the severity of his wounds now.Status:Eldwyn - severely wounded, fatigued, inspiredRover - severely wounded, fatigued, inspiredEmagor - lightly wounded, inspired, Greater Mage ArmorPeabody - moderately wounded, inspiredKordunn - moderately wounded, inspired, Mage ArmorStorm - lightly wounded, inspiredGoblin Mage - lightly wounded, magical protections, entangled, webbedHobgoblin I - dying, unconscious, proneHobgoblin II - moderately woundedHobgoblin III - dying, unconscious, proneHobgoblin IV - unscathedHobgoblin V - unscathedHobgoblin VI - unscathed[smallcaps]<a href="http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?p=4532254#post4532254" target="_blank">Combat Declarations</a>[/smallcaps]</blockquote>
