[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 5717023, member: 16069"] [B]The Goblin Guards[/B] [B]Round #2[/B] With the Goblins beginning to stir and get in to the action, Kyalia leaps forward, draws two arrows, and fires them both at the closest targets – a Hobgoblin that has yet to take a wound. The first arrow finds its target, but alas it leaves only a small cut in its passing. Kyalia’s second arrow misses altogether, passes high and wide. The Hobgoblin snarls at the Elf, and in its native tongue promises the Ranger death. Meantime the Goblins with crossbows in the back react, the first scampers for cover, while firing its hand crossbow in to the fray. Freggo is struck in his right forearm, the wound stings terribly – the Swordmage grits his teeth and bares it. The second Goblin Shooter, a young Goblin called Spizz actually, dives forward and uses his boss, Unholy Jeff, as cover – he fires and manages to pin Kali with his bolt, the Shifter growls his anger. Velani continues to plunge forward, making a bee-line for Unholy Jeff, en route the ex-Watch Sergeant receives a shocking blow from one of the Hobgoblins, leaving her dragging her right leg – which is numb and almost useless – she’s now very slow moving. Velani recalculates, changes her target, she’s not going to get to attack otherwise – she lurches forward and manages to connect with the already badly wounded Hobgoblin. The creature staggers under the onslaught, it totters – clearly now not long for life. Freggo points his sword at the second Hobgoblin and shouts, [I]Watch this, villain, for you are next![/I] The Swordmage dances around the lethargic Hobgoblin, with feints, side-steps, and yells – [I]Ha. Ho. Touche![/I] His sword begins to glow, a mesmerising yellow colour, as he slips behind his foe and finally launches a genuine attack. He draws blood, Freggo’s magic flares and the Hobgoblin shambles forward following the young Swordmage. He steps back, so that he is next to the robed Goblin, the Hobgoblin follows. [I]Hi there, mister Jeff. I’ll be your heroic opponent today![/I] Freggo declares with a grin. Not best pleased with being used as a pin cushion, Kali is set on ending a few lives quickly, and one of them is Unholy Jeff’s – time to move it up a gear, he drifts through the fray with the Cunning of the Fox. Then marks the robed Goblin for death again – doubling the woe should he land his blow. En route Kali aims an attack at the already bloodied Hobgoblin, his first victim – hopefully – alas the creature deflects the Shifter’s battleaxe strike. Kali’s next blows – battleaxe and hand axe, are aimed at His Unholiness – Jeff this time, the robed Goblin is momentarily cast in shadow – he looks… frightened. The axes come down and the Goblin Acolyte of Maglubiyet is cut to pieces – massacred, what is left of his quivering bloody body flops to the floor. The chamber is momentarily cast in to silence. Kali is the only creature moving, silently shifting away to select his next target. Viator heads to the bottom of the stairs just in time to watch Unholy Jeff’s demise. He takes a moment to appreciate Kali’s feat before throwing his hand out to focus his power. A blinding headache strikes him, his vision blurs. He steadies himself against the damp stone wall of the dungeon, then curses – the arcane magics in the crypt are affecting his focus. [I]The mind is the sole self. The mind is the sole self. I am a mental fortress.. I control my body. The mind is the sole self.[/I] He chants. The Hobgoblin Warriors leap into action, the first smashes his flail in to Velani’shead, the ex-Sergeant thumps to the floor – unconscious. The first of the adventurers to hit the deck ever. Freggo looks on with distress as the Hobgoblin delivers a devastating blow to his ally. [I]Noo! Didn’t you hear me! You’re NEXT![/I] [B]Zaaawwwp[/B] The bewildered Hobgoblin finds itself suddenly standing next to Freggo and its comrade, unable to fully comprehend what just happened – the soldier’s defences are down. The second Hobgoblin lets out a sigh of relief as his companion appears next to him – clearly the Goblin god, Maglubiyet, has seen fit to favour him. The Hobgoblin silently promises to pray all the harder after the Goblins certain victory here… The two Hobgoblins lock shields and co-ordinate their defences – blessed by their dark god. The second launches its attack at Freggo, misses with his flail – leans in and pivots around, repositioning itself perfectly to meet the next attack, a consummate professional. Ah-shahran marches down the stairs in to the chamber, mumbling inspiring words, the Deva motions regally towards Velani – who blinks open one eye, then two, and although laying on the cold stone floor manages a grin. Ah-shahran has not finished however, he mutters again and makes strange gestures with his hands – a pair of spectral panthers spring in to existence and race towards the nearest Hobgoblin. Alas the first feline stumbles and flickers as it forms, the Hobgoblin is caught off-guard and yet still manages to deflect the spirit beast. The second panther… the second guts the Hobgoblin, who goes down screaming and flailing as the inky black snarling cat rips and tears at its face. Less than five seconds later the spirit is gone, and the Hobgoblin Warrior is as silent as the grave. [B][U]End of Round #2[/U][/B] Three PCs wounded, with one bloodied – Freggo (27/23 HP), Kali (25/16 HP) and Velani (28/11 HP). Goblin Acolyte of Maglubiyet dead. One Hobgoblin Warrior deceased, and one wounded slightly (47/42 HP). [/QUOTE]
