T'Ranis is able to pull back, flipping away and ale to charge the falchion-wielding hobgoblin. His bolt is enough to kill the hobgoblin, leaving only one falchion-carryinggoblin un-hypnotized.
Shadow's suggestion on the remaining Falchion-carrying hobgoblin is simple: "Take no actions except those I explicitly recommend", Shadow says, and the Hobgoblin
Nods (5), standing there like a statue as the fight rages on. He dodges and weaves, looking constantly at Shadow for orders that may not be forthcoming.
The Human warriors, at the edge of battle, watch as you tear into the hobgoblins. A few run off towards other fights, but five more hover, quickly mending their wounds. The sergeant is quickly running behind them, getting ready to order them back into the fray.
Guardian engages one of the shield carrying goblins, and just barely shears through the hobgoblin's defences. The warforged cuts through he hobgoblin's armour, and feels rewarded jus a little when the hobgoblin howls in pain.
The hobgoblin swings back at Guardian, but the attack is
Embarrassing (7).
The other hobgoblin on Guardian swings expertly, and on a lesser being, would have struck. However, against Guardian, the attack bounces
Harmlssy (19) off the Warforged's skin.
The remaining Hobgoblin snarls and once more advances on T'Ranis, charging once more. he howls a bloodthirsty cry and runs, slamming into the Scout and raining the pommel of his blade upon the Scout's head
(Attack 21, 4 Damage)
Lori's shot misses as the hobgoblin sniper scurries away.
Haltash's Construct teams up with Guardian, and manages to kill the wounded hobgoblin, tearing him to the ground. The construct then attacks the remaining hobgoblin nearby, seriously wounding him.
Unfortunately, Haltash isn't as skilled in his firing at the sniper.
Tondrek takes aim and pulls off a shot at the sniper as well. But the sniper seems to be blessed with unnatural
Luck (10) as Tondrek's bolt misses. The Half-Orc ducks back inside his doorway to reload the crossbow. (OOC - mixed up initiaive order by mistake. But a roll of 10 would've missed anyone, so it's not big deal)
The sniper ducks out of sight, and rummages through his backpack. While no one can see him, he pulls out a potion of cure light wounds and drinks it, healing his wounds
slightly (6).
Finally, the two dazed Hobgoblins watch the battle raging around them quizically; one is staring off into a image dancing around his head, while the other stands at attention, waiting for orders.
