"Nobody's suggesting leaving people to their fate." Xeni says calmly. "I suppose the first thing to do would be to make sure they're cleared out of the town, then figure out where they came from."
She nods, "That's a good idea, there were just so many of them and they all kind of scattered. I'm sorry...I didn't mean to infer that anyone was planning on just leaving this people to suffer, I was just thinking about some of the nice people in this town and hoping that they're alright and hoping that we can keep the casualties to a minimum." Taking a couple of calming breaths she looks up at the Cleric and asks, "Where should we go next?"
As if in answer to Lilla's question, you hear a scream and frantic barking coming from the north, not too far from where you are.
Anazaliana's eyes darted in the direction of the scream, and booked it there as fast as she could.
Lilla shakes her head, "Thanks!" She then calls out to the one that just took off, "Wait for us!!" She says before taking off after her, the woman was determined to get herself killed.
Bairn follows after the two women. "I didn't know adventuring required so much running..."
Looking over her shoulder she smiles, "Only when towns are under attack....I hope. Unless we're running away from something." She says between breaths.
As you arrive on the scene, you see a hunting dog engaged in battle against a goblin riding a goblin dog. A man is cowering behind some rain barrels as the goblin cuts the animal down. Suddenly, three more goblins emerge, having watched the fight against the dog from behind barrels themselves. They whoop and holler, unaware of your approach. The goblins then focus their attention on the cowering man.
Initiative:
Surprise Round: Lilla, Goblins, Ana, Bairn, Goblin Commando, Xeni
Not close enough to really do anything at the moment, Lilla just moves closer as she doesn't want to become surrounded by gobblins. She tries to move quietly so as not to alert them of her presence just yet.
Ana moved around in the direction of the man to both draw attention from him and the woman trying to sneak up behind the goblins.
Bairn moves up, not knowing what he would do. He knew that he had to do something though.
Xeni moves forward as well, preparing to engage.
Round 1: Lilla, Goblins, Ana, Bairn, Goblin Commando, Xeni
Lilla sneaks up quietly behind one of the gobblins and brings her weapon down upon it in a furious strike with uncanny precision.
Intent on putting a stop to the gobblins as quickly as possible, she forfeits some of her sneakiness to stab the offending gobber.
She looks over at Bairn and wonders if he could put the little monsters to sleep with one of his spells like he was talking about in the tavern, or if that would put them all at risk of falling asleep. She shakes her head and concentrates on the monsters in front of her. They had to try and save as many people as possible.
Lilla effortless puts an end to the goblin. In response, the other two turn around and attack the rogue.

Round 1: Lilla, Goblins, Ana, Bairn, Goblin Commando, Xeni
Seeing her ally of hapstance in a prediciment that would not end well, the Half-Orc drew her axe as she rushed forward and attempted to bury it in the back of the beast's ugly wide skull.
Bairn approaches the goblin commander and looks to a point behind the mounted monster. "Audinus Spectrus."
The goblin commander doesn't fall for Bairn's trick and shoots at him with a shortbow.
Round 1: Lilla, Goblins, Ana, Bairn, Goblin Commando, Xeni
Moving up alongside Bairn , Xeni takes aim at the goblin leader, sending an arrow streaking toward the mounted rider

Round 2: Lilla, Goblins, Ana, Bairn, Goblin Commando, Xeni
Lilla attacks the gobblin that she's flanking with Ana.
Feeling the pain of her wound makes it hard for her to hit her target.
Bairn's trick doesn't affect the other goblins, who fail to use any coordinated tactics. They simply divide their attacks between Lilla and Ana.
The goblins fail to connect with their attacks.
Round 2: Lilla, Goblins, Ana, Bairn, Goblin Commando, Xeni
Taking her axe in both hands, she raised it up and brought it down.
Bairn steps into flanking with Lilla, believing his chances would be better helping her.

Bairn cuts down the last goblin, leaving the commander. The commander spurs his mount forward, slicing at Xeni with his weapon.

Xeni's attack flies wide, the arrow sticking in a nearby barrel.
Round 2: Lilla, Ana, Bairn, Goblin Commando, Xeni
Lilla charges the commando and strikes at him wdith her weapon.
She curses under her breath as she misses.
Ana turned about with almost seemed like an uncontrollable rage. Letting out a primal yell, she lept to the dog riding Goblin and brought her axe down.
Ana dismount the goblin rider, leaving a very irate goblin dog to deal with.

| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Lilla lets out a cry of rage at the gobblin dog thing as she brings her rapier around for another strike at the foul beast.
She smiles as the beast howls in pain.
Lilla nearly kills the beast in one blow, but it manages to stay on its feet.
Round 4: Lilla, Ana, Bairn, Goblin Dog, Xeni
Starting to feel the exhaustion of rage and combat, Ana dug deep and brought her axe to bear against the ugly little beast.
Bairn steps into flanking with Ana, in hopes of taking down the beast.
The goblin dog turns toward Lilla and tries to bite her.
In its wounded state, it fails to connect.
