The attack slashes across the goblin's chest, and leaves a gash in the armour.  The goblin stumbles, but doesn't fall, still standing due to the sheer rage that burns in his veins.Aiken, however, is able to use the distraction to run his blade straight through the goblin's back.   Pendrake is surprised to see a few inches of metal protruding from the goblin's lung, and sees the dark shape of Aiken grinning behind the goblin.  The dark rain hammers down on the goblin as it slides to the ground.  Goblin #3, the archer, again loads it's crossbow and aims at Solange.  The bolt hits Solange in the stomach, but seems to have been <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1628237/" target="_blank">dull (A=21; D=2)</a>.  Nevertheless, the wound is enough to leave her a bit stunned.Cepheus sees this archer take a shot, and fires back.  The shot hits, but doesn't seem to cause much harm to the sniper... perhaps it ricocheted off the stone building?  The wolf summoned by Ceph charges the transforming chief, and makes a solid <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1628241/" target="_blank">Bite (A=23; D= 2)</a> <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1628242/" target="_blank">;Crit unconfirmed (A=17)</a> that could have been much more lethal.  Instead, the wolf's teeth don't even break the demonic goblin's skin.The goblin "chief", transformed, lets out a howl at the unseen moon, and charges Aiken, ready to rip him limb from limb - completely ignoring the snarling wolf now behind him.  The beast makes a vengeful bite, and also rakes long claws across Aiken's face, leaving burning streaks that stream with fresh blood.  <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1628244/" target="_blank">(Full Attack.  A=20; D=6.  A=17; D=5. One claw attack missed)</a>   The blow fells Aiken, who sprawls out on the cobblestones; unmoving.  It is at this moment that Solange realizes she is facing a Barghest... a demonic goblin/wolf hybrid that is a true terror.  She also knows what it means as the barghest licks it snout with a snake-like tongue and bends down to finish poor Aiken off... Should he die tonight, his soul will be devoured along with his flesh, Zephos be damned.  Solange can still go, here.Hukk, upon seeing Aiken fall, shouts with fury.  A moment after the barghest licks it's lips, a <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1628246/" target="_blank">Sling Stone (A=18; miss)</a> bounces harmlessly off the barghest's head.  it turns to regard Hukk calmly, and chuckles before returning it's gaze to Aiken...Meanwhile, the fight on the ship rages on.  A few more goblins fall, as the wizard Riffer zaps another with his electric wand, and the swordmistress slices one more.  But the press of goblin bodies is enough to bring two blacklilies down under the weight of goblin arms and bow fire.</blockquote>
