Message: <blockquote data-quote="Wik" data-source="post: 3757472" data-attributes="member: 40177">Round two(OOC:  Sorry for the delay - first week of school is always hectic!)Pendrake is able to cut down one of the goblins, who shrieks loudly for a moment, until the northerner is able to kick the goblin off his blade and parry off the blows of the two remaining fiends.Solange aims at one of the remaining goblins on Pendrake, but cannot see very well in the dim light.  She fires as one steps into the torchlight, but is aiming away from Pendrake, and aims too far away.  The bolt is swallowed up by the darkness.  After she looses it, she hears another howl coming from the hallway to the south.  And this time, it's much louder.  She also smells the stench of rotting meat, and almost gags on it.The two remaining goblins on Pendrake quickly surround him, swiping ineffectively with their vicious short swords.  The first attack misses, but the second gets pasts Pendrake's defences and slices his<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1246356" target="_blank">knee</a>.  The attack came dangerously close to severing an artery, but Pendrake was <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1246361" target="_blank">lucky</a>.  In any case, he still takes 5 points of damage.A goblin attacking Cepheus snarls "You'll taste good in my stewpot, GNOME!" before stabbing, but <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1246369" target="_blank">fails miserably</a> The other goblin, on Aiken, does just as <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1246371" target="_blank">poorly</a> Cepheus, while flanking the goblin and having great darkvision, still cannot find an opening in the goblin's defences.  Aiken, however, does much better, catching an opening when the goblin finds himself looking over his shoulder at Ceph's attacks.  He is sliced in the back of his throat, and pitches forward, while the gnome is able to make a few quick stabs to finish him off.The howls proceed, and coming from the south are two large dogs, eaceh the size of a hound or wolf.  They are missing large patches of fur, and a viscous ooze drips from their lips, glowing red from the firelight.  The hounds have massive eyes for dogs, and their canines almost seem to have been sharpened.  Their snouts are pulled back in a feral snarl, and they look at Solange with fury in their eyes.A rallying cry from the north and south hallways also sounds, seemingly in response to the exhortations of a leader's voice.    It seems as if more goblins are on their way.  END OF ROUND TWOPendrake: 23Solange: 14Dogs:  <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1246382" target="_blank">13</a> Goblins: 13Cepheus: 10Aiken: 5</blockquote>
