Message: <blockquote data-quote="gambler1650" data-source="post: 6190241" data-attributes="member: 11033">To set the scene a bit more clearly:The people running from the edge of town are mostly women with their children.  Remember, it's during the day, and most of the men are out in the mines or forest.  At the edge of town there are a couple of buildings, and some fences that sort of overlap to provide a weak wall.  There had been talk of a larger wall before the silver dragon took the town under its protection, but that never was built.  Of late there has been talk of it again due to her disappearance.  Some trees have been allowed to grow along the fences to provide some protection.Beyond the fences, about a hundred feet, the ground rises towards a small hill top covered in sparse trees.  It's over that hill that Gregof has appeared.  In front of the hill are three Goblins.  Two are facing the town, one is facing the hill.  The refrain "More to meet!  More to eat!" is said by the two Goblins facing the town, one says the first sentence, and one gleefully finishes with the second.  When Gregof appears, the Goblin facing the hill moves towards him with a yell.  Oddly this is also in the common language of the town - even while the other two talk to each other quickly in their normal language.  To Gregof, the facing Goblin yells, "Stealer of Goblins!  Die!" and moves towards him.  Gregof continues to move towards the goblin, preparing to swing at him.All this happens as you reach the fences.  You notice a couple more details: The goblins have light scarves wrapped around their heads - covering the eyes but the fabric seems thin enough to let them see through.  They have no armor, but have short swords and no shields.  None make a move towards Beatrix as she challenges them, merely hooting, "Fat woman likes to gibe!  Make us food for whole tribe!"  As Muzdin moves towards the fence, they start to settle themselves into something resembling a fighting stance, and Stellan moves up to the fence also.OOC: Dwarves don't appear to get a benefit when fighting goblins, according to the S&W rules. Unless I'm missing something.</blockquote>
