Runk sticks one of his blades deep into the goblins gut, the final wound is enough to fell the monster. Ethan takes another shot, but like the one before his aim is inhibited by the crampped space and the arrow flies off into the underbrush. Ziz trys something new using the arcane to blast one of the goblins, but with all the commotion of the fight the ray instead hits a section of the brambles. Kesten steps up in front of runk trying to grab one of the goblins with his hand that is pulsing with electricity, the little monster is to nible though and aviods his grasp before the power fades away. Blake swings at one of the goblins attacking him to no avail. Fofin is still unable to get in a position to attack.
The goblins continue their assualt with the northern goblin now engaging Kesten
Three of the goblins in the back drop their dogslicers and pull out bows and arrows to attack with.
Blake, Runk, Kesten
The goblins finds an opening as Kesten moves up, cutting him with his dogslicer, the other goblin has no luck with Blake. The goblins in the rear take aim at the new target, but all of them seem to miss, while trying to avoid their own.
Cut off from the goblins by the two humans Runk takes advantage of the break in the action to flick goblin blood off his daggers.
"Ya know the idea's to stick them in the narrows but hey, your funeral."
Kesten turns around and faces Runk: "You are right, of course. I'll step back, you take that spot and I'll give you some magical shield to protect you? You're better in these cramped quarters anyway."
"Humans"
Runk takes a step north to open a gap he hopes Blake will move into and prepares to stab any goblin that comes into range.
Zizouket tries another shot at the same goblin.
Ethan calls upon Erastil to aid the policy.
"Old Dead-Eye, help us find our range and mark against these foes."
Blake swings at the goblin who left himself open while trying to get in position to attack Blake, but sadly misses the little monster.
Blakes continues his struggle with the goblins nearly surrounding him but is unable to score a blow on one of them.
The goblins continue their assualt.

[dice=Damage 8]1d4Two arrows fly at Runk but miss going into the brush. One flies at Blake, to similar effect finding itself in the underbrush. The three goblins in the middle unsure what to do continue to hold onto their dogslicers and try to get into the fight.
Panic surges inside Blake's frame as the fire is once again unleashed into the thicket of brambles. "Ah, that might not be the best way to deal with this pest, we don't want the walls and ceiling of this thicket to start burning and us with it." Swallowing his fear he lashes out with his scimitar at the goblin directly in front of him before falling back next Runk.
Kesten realizing he is now in the midst of the battle steps back and heals himself, while Runk also maneuvers to allow the goblins to advance waiting to stick one when it moves up. Ziz fires another one of her rays which this time meets her target charring its flesh and dropping it to the ground with a puff of burnt flesh, stenched smoke drifting up from it. Ethan calls down Erastil's favor, it washes over the party bolstering them. Blake continues his assualt, but unable to connect steps back to allow the goblins room to move up, hoping to take advantage.
The two goblins move up and the other two still standing move up behind them while the three in the rear continue to pepper the party with arrows.
As the goblins move up Runk jabs at one sticking him in the gut and managing to draw his attention. Also, as the goblins move up Fofin finally has a chance to attack and takes it.
He smahes his pick into the goblin before it gets a chance to assualt Blake, only to let one of the other goblins move up to take his place.
Three of the goblins in the back drop their dogslicers and pull out bows and arrows to attack with.
Blake, Kesten, Ziz
None of the goblins have much luck with their attack, either too excited by the fight or distracted by their crispy companion.
With a vicious grin on his face Runk assaults the latest goblin to step before him.
His second attack manages to bite into the creatures shoulder sending a bit more blood to soak the ground.
Seeing how uncomfortable Kesten finds himself on the front line, Blake tries to distract the goblin facing the odd man.
"*°&@#+˜!! I have had it with you!! Ancestors aid me, these goblins are DEAD! You cannot stand before the might of Gazeldar!!"
Kesten touches one of the goblins by the throat, and his body starts twitching uncontrollably for a few seconds. Kesten's eyes twitch for a second, and he looks around, amazed.
"I'm sorry.. That was.. strange. But don't worry, I can control them."
Bolstered by Ersatil's favor, Ethan draws another arrow and fires at the goblin in front.
Zizouket winces as he remembers Blake's phobia, though he knows the energy dissipates before it can cause a fire. He goes back to his longspear, jabbing at the goblin facing Kesten to try to throw off its guard.
Runk continues his assualt on the goblin, managing to finish him off with his second dagger. Blake makes to attack the one of the goblins distracting it enough that Kesten manages to grab it, jolting it with electricity before it manages to wriggle away, still alive but much worse for wear. Ethan takes another shot, yet again only to have his arrow fly off into the thorns. Ziz tries to jab at the goblin to further assist those fighting the goblin, he manages to distract it allowing Fofin to get in an attack and drop the goblin to the floor.
The last goblin with a dogslicer drawn edges up and goes for runk.
He strikes the halfling drawing blood, with an evil grin. The other three goblins with bows continue to fire even with the little success that they have been having.
Runk, Kesten, Blake, Fofin
None of the arrows fly true, finding similar effect to Ethan the arrows disappear into the thorns..
Runk grimaces in pain as the dogslicer opens a deep wound.
"S'pose one of you had to get lucky." He grunts through clenched teeth before returning the attack.
Perhaps due to the recent blow neither attack finds its mark.
"Runk, you okay? Let us know quick enough so you don't fall to the floor. It could get real messy real fast."
Kesten readies more electricity, as the fight is beginning to weigh on everyone's faces.
"Ziz, fake left and... YES! Thanks! Why aren't you blasting that fire thing you did? Looked very effective, no?"
Kesten ducks just in time to see an arrow fly by, luckily not aimed for him as it probably would have hit him in the face.
"May Erastil bring you aid," Ethan intones, touching his wouded companion.
Seeing the success Kesten had at striking the goblin, Blake keeps his distracting poking up.
Ethan touches Blake on the shoulder.
Zizouket jabs at the goblin. Hafta try to hit him once in a while, or he won't buy the bluff swipes!
Runk stabs at the goblin, but distracted by his recent wound is unable to strike true. Kesten tries grabbing the goblin again, now with Blake distracting him he manages to latch on and give him quite the shock. Ethan touches Blake infusing him with divine energy as his wounds seal closed not even leaving scars behind. Ziz tries to jab at the goblin but misses. Fofin moves up trying to put an end to this goblin.
Not able to land a blow as the goblin jitters erratically out of the way, obviously still effected by the electricty recently coursing through his body. He manages to recover though to continue his attack, turning his attention to the longshank who caused him harm.
He strikes Kesten drawing blood only adding to his excitement. The other three goblins with bows continue to fire on the group.
Runk, Kesten, Blake, Fofin
Two of the arrows fly true piercing Blakes armor and skin.
With arrows and blood flying around him Runk renews his attack.
The wily goblin continues to elude him though.
Ethan touches Runk with Erastil's power.
Runk jumps a bit at the unexpected contact. Feeling the clerics healing power flow throw him and his ravaged skin knitting back together he gives a quick nod in way of gratitude to the devote of Erastil before returning his attention to their foes.
"This is taking too long!" Kesten shouts as he gets stabbed in the upper leg.
"F*** the gods! Cleric, can you heal us all? Maybe stand somewhere back so we won't heal any goblins?"
Kesten will step back and try to aid Runk by giving him the armor of his ancestors.
He whispers "May Akiros protect you as he does me.."
Zizouket points his finger and fires another ray at one of the archers.
As the dwarf moves in, Blake uses his blade to help create an advantage for the short warrior against the pesky goblin in front of them.
Runk continues trying to stab the goblin but can't manage to get a blade into this one as it squirms about. Ethan seals runks wounds also, not leaving any scars behind. Kesten moves back and grants Runk some sort of magic to further defend him against attacks while Ziz, more concerned with the threat of the goblins than Blake's fears launches another ray of fire, hitting the goblin and charring most of his body but not quite putting him down. Blake distracts the goblin while Fofin continues to attack relentlessly.
He hits the goblin leaving a deep gash in it's chest, but the goblin continues on.
He strikes out at the dwarf but only glances off his armor while spitting out curses and obscenities.
Runk, Blake, Fofin
The goblin hit by the fire drops it's bow and runs around in a panic while scooping up dirt and tossing it on himself, screaming in pain. The other two continue to fire arrows, but too distracted by their fellow goblin they have no luck in hitting anything but air.
Following up the dwarfs attack Runk stabs out with his blades.
Both land true taking the goblin on either side if his neck. A burst of blood erupts from the creatures jugular. Runk holds back allowing others a clear line to the archers.
Zizouket tries a different spell against the same goblin he hit earlier but didn't drop.
"Anyone hurt?
Blood seeps from around the arrows protruding from his armor. Needing to get closer to the archers, Blake hesitates to move away from the others injured as he is.
Ethan moves as far back from the goblins as possible, then opens himself as a conduit of pure divine energy.
Kesten will charge ahead, taken by the energy of the moment!
"Blake, come with me and we will slay these litterbags like we did in 4350, at the battle of the Burning Oak! FOR GLORY!"
"Darnit, stop moving you!". Kesten shouts and spits.
"Come on, there's only 3 left. Now is the time to push through and destroy 'em all!"
Runk stabs the goblin two times, the final blow nicking an artery as it lies bleeding out on the ground. Ziz lobs some acid at the goblin already burnt to a crisp and it drops him to the ground, unmoving. Ethan moves back and channels his deity, providing healing to his companions. Kesten moves up to attack one of the ranged goblins but can't seem to hit the little monster.
Feeling the warmth of healing, Blake flexes his arms and moves forward to attack the goblins.
Blakes follows the others up trying to attack one of the goblins but having no luck. Fofin moves up taking a swing at the other goblin.
The pick smashes into the goblin, taking him down with one blow.
The goblin realising it stands no chance throws down it's weapon and tries to move away from you and cower.
>
Kesten tries to hit the goblin, and feels the tip of his longspear hit something when he puts all his might behind the thrust.
As the goblin drops his weapon and begins to flee Kesten jabs right through it's ribs, skewering the little green bugger that collapses to the ground bleeding out.
"Is everyone okay? I can heal a little, if it is required, but it will drain the last of my.. ancestors.. magic for today."
He looks around, and then turns to Runk. "You sure these are the only ones? Maybe one got away and is on his way to get reinforcements?"
There is a slight tremor in his voice. Very slight.
"Those of you still injured, move over towards me, away from the dying goblins. I will bring Erastil's power of healing upon us."
Once his wounded companions have moved closer, Ethan opens the conduit to his deity.
As the goblins are dealt with and the battle fervor ends you hear the calming sounds of the waves crashing against the shore. You do not hear anything to you the sense that any escaped or that reinforcements are coming.
"Who needs info anyway huh?" Runk says with a shrug.
With the goblins dead he begins sorting through corpses and the area in general looking for anything of interest or of value.
When Kesten utters his question the halfling is unceremoniously putting his foot on one of the corpses chest to yank out his thrown daggers. Giving Kesten a sour look he intentionally misinterprets the questions tone and replies, "Don't worry Killer, we'll stir up some more for you soon enough."
As he searches he tells the group, "Saw the corner of something across the inlet. Probably the cutters fort. You ready?" With that he prepares to start scouting the path to the East.
"We can drag one in Ethan's healing, if you want one alive... Though might want to tie him up first, right?"
