Murmuring the words of a prayer, Thorek's skin take on a metallic sheen as his flesh hardens.
Marching towards the bridge, the dwarf brandishes his weapon and roars a challenge. "Ironfang wretches! When your miserable souls get to the gates of Hell, tell them Thorek Ironspark of Kraggodan sent you!"
Cyrioul damages the trooper with magic missile
Bree hides from the trooper
"Kur, ukufumana izikhali umntu onxibe" calls out the trooper, and the wolf in front of him at Thorek, and . The wolf Thorek.
The trooper , but this time misses Thorek.
A hobgoblin comes out of the crane building, and ineffectively at Thorek, drops his bow, and draws his sword.
Thorek manages to damage the wolf as it tears into him. Thorek is down on the ground and bleeding out.
Caladra hurries behind Bree
Seeing Thorek collapse, Boudra leaps forward with a cry of alarm. The cry strikes the wolf's ears with unnatural harshness, and it flinches! Boudra hurries forward, stooping over Thorek's unmoving form...
Standard: cast cause fear
Move: 10' over to Thorek
"No no no no.... Please someone save Thorek..... Ill shot the dog....,", Lily says starting to panic.
Cedric uses his last remaining first level spell to Thorek.
Lily shoots at the wolf.
Boudra the wolf, who snarls in defiance.
Cyrioul curses his lack of preparedness, especially when the hobgoblin emerges from the closer building. "I was here to help decipher texts and verify the properties of items - not hold off a siege of hobgoblins!" he complains to himself.
To stay ahead of the foe at his side, Cyrioul points his second wand at the ground near the hobgoblin's feet, barks a command word, and fills the ground with slippery, rancid grease. He dashes away from the building, staying clear of the wolf, and hopes that his companions don't notice too clearly that he's putting himself between them and the enemy...
"Damn, I don't think I can get close enough to cast on the big one yet," Bree mutters. Pulling her bowstring taut, she aims for his neck. "This will have to do!"
x3 critical if that beats his AC!
The arrow flies true and impales itself in the burly hobgoblin's throat.
Cyrioul casts from the wand. down.

The trooper a potion.
Her wolf steps forward, and , and him.
The green hobgoblin and off of the grease.
The red hobgoblin , and walks over the greased area.
Boudra swallows hard as the wolf lunges forward and trips the priest at her side. She feels Aubrin's healing energy wash over her, though, and sees it restore Thorek to full vigor. Dodging behind him, she lays a hand on him, urging him up. Once she's done so, she draws her sickle.
None: 5' step
Standard: Cast guidance on Thorek
Move: draw sickle
Round 2, Initiative Count 13
Cedric hits the ground pretty hard as the wolf bites him in such a way that it makes him lose his balance. He grits his teeth against the pain and indignity, and manages to keep from crying out. Unlike the previous wolf, this makes him a lot less concerned about its well-being. Unfortunately, he can't really do much from the ground, so he takes the risk of standing back up. Once up, he'll step a step back to put a little distance between himself and the wolf and then use that distance to try stabbing the animal.
Round 2
Gasping as the healing magic brings him back to consciousness, the dwarf hauls himself to his feet with an angry shout , leaping away from the war-wolf and growling out a prayer, covering his flesh with a metallic sheen.
Thorek stands, and the wolf at , and him. Thorek manages to cast ironskin on himself
Cedric stands, steps back, but misses the wolf with his longspear.
"What in god's good name.." Caladra says as she turns to see the commotion created by a wolf erupt behind her. She looks back at the other gobs, then at the wolf again. Seeing the chaos the wolf seems to be spreading among her companions she flinches towards running back to help them, but stops.
If she leaves, Bree would be undefended should the gobs move towards her. "Nine Hells," She swears under her breath. She steps forward slightly and brandishes her sword tightly in her grip. She looks at the three surrounding goblins, careful to not let one get the slip on her.
"Please let this hit. Please...... Please......," Lily says as she shots an arrow at the Wolf.
Cyrioul brings his wand to bear on the wolf, chants a word of power, and fires a bolt of force at the beast.
He moves to put the more heavily armored Thorek between himself and the wolf.

Seeing the second hobgoblin emerge from the shack and move toward the group, Bree moves to try to ensorcel both of them.
"Please go back into the shack."
Caladra readies an action if any enemies come within striking distance.
Lily misses again.
Boudra casts guidance on Thorek
Cyrioul casts magic missile from a wand at the wolf
Aubrin moves and casts bless
Bree attempts to hypnotize the two Ironfang recruits. Both of them become fascinated by Bree. Her simple request is complicated by the area of grease in front of the shack.
The Ironfang trooper at Caladra, but misses.
The wolf steps toward Thorek, and him.
The green hobgoblin back into the shack.
The red hobgoblin begins to step into the grease. Then looks at Bree. Then back at the grease. Then seems to shake off the fascination with Bree.
Feeling more secure with blessings from Angradd and Boudra's spell upon him, Thorek gives ground before the wolf's assault, buying enough space to swing his weapon. "Selv et opplært dyr frykter brann," he growls, and as if on cue his weapon is sheathed in crackling red flames as the dwarf strikes.
Boudra gasps as Thorek backs up, but then when he swings at the wolf realizes he's just moving into position. Darting away from the beast herself, she draws the wand and quickly touches it to Thorek's most recent wound. She turns back to the wolf, sickle in one hand, wand in the other.
None: 5' step
Move: Draw wand
Standard: Cast cure light wounds from wand
Caladra seems to laugh slightly as she watches the two gobs, facinated by Bree's spell, retreat back into the cottage. However, when once seems to regain what little wit it has, she knew who her target was. Quickly, she rushes towards the gob, invigorated by Aubrin's bless, to strike at the gob with her blade.
Round 3, Initiative Count 13
Flanking the animal with Thorek, Cedric takes advantage of their good tactical positioning to try to finish the creature off before it can do any more damage to them. Unfortunately, even with their good positioning, he just can't seem to have any luck getting past the four-legged creature's inherent agility.
With the wolf finally dealt with, Cedric moves on to dealing with the next closest Hobgoblin. He's a bit too far to get to him normally, with all the weight of his armor and gear, but if he moves as far as he can and gets bit again he can make it. Calling upon the power of Erastil, he grows in stature and thrusts.

"Im just not doing anything right now..... Yup certainly not going to hit.......," Lily says while trying reverse psychology on fate.
Lily's arrow misses the wolf.
Boudra heals Thorek.
Cyrioul damages the wolf some more
Aubrin begins casting
Damn that wolf! Bree mutters to herself.
"Fine, let's try this then." Bree nocks another arrow and shoots for the wolf's flank.
The arrow embeds itself, but not deeply into the wolf's hindquarters. Blood spurts from the wound in fits.
Bree's arrow staggers the wolf, who to make a final on Thorek before falling over in a faint from loss of blood.
The Trooper will at Caladra, and
Ironfang Red will Caladra
Caladra grabs at her neck in shock, feeling the warm blood pour from a wound. She bares her teeth and gives the gob a feral growl as she falls to her knees. Her vision blurs before collapsing to the ground.
Boudra lets out a yell of rage and fear when she sees the Ironfang soldier slice into Caladra's neck. Waving to Cedric that she has their friend covered, she rushes across the battlefield to get to her.

Round 4, Initiative Count 13
Finally, Cedric thinks to himself as the wolf goes down. Fittingly, it seems, for how frustrating it was to deal with, the final blow was essentially dealt by itself. Oh, irony. Feeling better about things, he turns to start making a plan to deal with the other Hobgoblins, just in time to see Caladra take a terrible blow.
"NO!" he shouts, horrified. She's too far for him to reach, but he has one last ability to channel healing energy today. He has enough of his wits about him to remember that this healing is indiscriminate, and moves just enough so that Caladra is just within his range, so that the wolf and the Hobgoblin which hit her aren't.
The wolf's jaw clamps around his leg but its teeth are stymied by Thorek's metallic skin and the beast collapses like a marionette with its strings cut. With a victorious cry the dwarf turns and charges the nearest hobgoblin.
Seeing the tide of battle turn (and enemies getting pushed further away), Cyrioul returns to the cover of the tree near the bridge house, and fires another bolt of force at the trooper on the bridge.
Bree feels pretty confident that Thorek can finish off the hobgoblin that slashed Caladra, but that big guy on the bridge is still a menace. Rushing to close the distance, she one more takes aim with her bow, and let's fly.
The arrow arcs and lands squarely, center of the hobgoblin's mass. A fierce grin crosses her face. We might actually pull this off!
Thorek charges and kills the red hobgoblin.
Cedric channels, healing Caladra enough to stop him from bleeding out, but not enough to get him back on his feet.
Lily just moves up panicked and shoots.

The stabilizes at -1
The trooper drops his crossbow, slams back a , and moves forward.
The stabilizes at -5.
Caladra takes a sharp inhale of air as she feels the magic course through her body, stitching the serious gash in her neck shut. She pushes herself up, sword in hand and looks for the hobgoblin that struck her down only to see it laying in a pool of its own blood. She looks around, rage consuming her and blind to her allies around her. She notices one remaining goblin on the bridge and stalks towards it.
Round 5, Initiative Count 13
Cedric, completely tapped out of most things he can do, rushes forward to help deal with the Hobgoblin on the bridge. Weighed down by his armor and gear, it's going to take him a while to get there. But even slow as he is, he can get close enough that his reflexes can possibly make the difference if it tries to shoot or get closer.
