The humanoid tripped by Mzarem stands and fends off an attack by the wolf, while he delivers a returning blow but is thwarted once more!

The hobgoblin stands, Mzarem gets a 4 for his AoO attack, while the hobgoblin gets a 12, both miss!

Dolan finds purchase once more with his dagger, stabbing quickly. The blade sinks in deep as the humanoid falls back into water with a wail. His blade slips out easily as the tide of battle turns… Kyalia is able to stabilize Enthalus before he bleeds to death in the frigid waste high waters while Mzarem knocks the hobgoblin down once again and bites savagely into its exposed side!

The hobgoblin starts moving after the wolf is done rending flesh with its powerful teeth.

The battle is over, for now. Mzarem lopes over to Saxon and nudges his unconscious master, and then stands guard waiting for more trouble…

Dolan rolls a 17 and does 2 more points of damage, the Hobgoblin is now dying. Kyalia stabilizes Enthalus, while Mzarem does another trip attack, he gets an 11 touch attack which hit, then rolls a 17 versus the hobgoblin’s 16 opposed roll. The hobgoblin is tripped, and Mzarem gets a free attack, he rolls a 15 and strikes for 5 more points of damage. The last foe is dispatched.

As the combat of clears, the party sees two human children huddled against the wall, and four hobgoblin children hiding behind rocks… There is another exit from this den opposite the one the heroes came in…
 


Kyalia

“Might be, that we found the kids. I only hope, that the hobgoblins were not defending them, because then they would have died needlessly.”

Kyalia then moves closer to the human children and tries to find out, whether they might be the ones they are looking for. “You are out of danger, children. Do you come from the nearby village? We can bring you back.”
 

For a moment Saxon feels warmth extend through him as he lies prone and unconcious. A short while later he groans at Mzarem's nudge, and manages to open an eye to get a feel for his surroundings once more.

"I feel like I've been attacked by a malevolent hobgoblin," he grumbles groggily.
 

Laurel looks at the rising water level. Does it look like the water level is so high that they can no longer go back the way they came or that they must hurry? Does it look like the other exit might lead out, or deeper into the caves? Which way did the two hobgoblins flee?
 


The hobgoblins ran deeper into the mines, the other entrance to the chamber. The water is high, and still rising, at this point you could go back… all up to trying.

The boy nods his head slowly, and his younger sister just clings to him, they are both soaked, and shivering in the cold. The water is almost too high for them to stand, and they are using the wall to keep themselves afloat.
 

Kyalia

“By Ehlonna, you must get out of the water. Come, we will see, that you get dry for now. Someone make sure, that Enthalus isn't drowning.”

Kyalia then pulls out her winter blanket and picks up the girl first, rubbing her dry as much as possible (but not too harsh). Then she tries to find a spot, where she can stay for a moment, or let someone else hold her, while she does the same with the boy.

“Your parents are already waiting for you. We will bring you back.”
 

The boy nods and the girl shivers. The boy finally speaks, “Are… are you taking us home?” The room is still besides the sounds of the hobgoblin children that huddle in the cold water as well, they keep their distance from the party…
