The cyan hobgoblin, seeing Bear viciously evicerate the hobgoblin, utters, "Jammer Teltur, " Then shoots at the sleeping hobgoblin,who wakes up with a yelp.
Sorry, Teltur
"Die res van julle, vuur by die wold!" She commands.
The rest of you, fire at the wolf.
"Teltur, kry Scarvinious."
Teltur, get Scarvinious.
The green hobgoblin takes a 5ft step back and does as she commands.
The red hobgoblin fires an arrow at Cavall as well.
One arrow bounces off a green shield, while the other strikes him in the ribs.
The black colored hobgoblin gets up then hobbles his way towards the tent, yelling, "Scarvinious, ons is onder aanval!"
Scarvinious, we're under attack!
Both Robert and Father Noelan start moving towards the watchtower.
Cavall continues to attack green and savages him badly.
Grenwold activates Ringo’s stag focus and is barely able to run down the escaping hobgoblin.
Swift action - switch Ringo to stag - Ringo AC is now 21
Move action - move 55 ft to black
Standard action - some attacks
Grenwold manages to bonk the hobgoblin on his head and Ringo runs the hobgoblin through and he falls.
The colourless bugbear moves up, drawing his javelin and throwing it at Ratel.
Then the green goblin gestures at Ratel and sends the wolf after Ratel.
The other bugbear comes out of the tent and tries to club Cavall.
"Beweeg dit, ons is onder aanval!" A voice commands from inside the tent.
From the tents, a hunched creature looks like a hobgoblin, but fur covers its body. Its face is rat-like, and it has a long, naked tail stumbles out of the tent, looking at the party nervously.
Grenwold notices that the creature is limping, is gaunt and has fresh scars on her hide.
"Flank en val die wolf aan." A hobgoblin that just comes out of the tent, wearing a bandolier, commands the creature.
Flank and kill the wolf
Grenwold believes that the hobgoblin at the back is the master, and the creature, which Ratel identifies as a hobgoblin with lycanthropy, a wererat, as her not so willing slave.
Wererats have 5/DR silver.
The bandolier hobgoblin then throws a bomb at Ratel, but it misses.
The green goblin commands his wolf to attack Ratel, but the wolf does not manage to bite through Ratel's hide.
The worg moves to intercept Cavall, but does not manage to attack.
Ratel steps towards the large furry thing swinging with scizore and shield. Seeing the sleeping hobgoblin flee, Bear runs toward the thing Ratel is swinging at and tries to bite it as well
"I speak common,you know."The wererat gives a sad sniff. "Why are you thinking of harvesting me like some lab rat! That's horrible!"
Ratel bashes the weird short creature once with its Morningstar and it falls.
Hedran steps up to the hobgoblin, and swings - "It seems hesitant!" - he responds to Nigel - "Offer it a chance!"
Hedran bisects the not a hobgoblin with one swing of his longsword.

Nigel gives Hedran a bemused look.
"Do you honestly expect ze others vould be villing to velcome *any* kind of Hobgoblin?"
He then shrugs, and addresses the wererat.
"Nozing personal; I just need shapeshifter essence for my ongoing research. ze vector-form should be concentrated in your saliva, vith some residual in ze spleen, if necessary; a full lymphatic extraction vould be another option, but zat seems overly complicated, and time-consuming..."
Hedran bisects the not a hobgoblin with one swing of his longsword.
"I speak common,you know."The wererat gives a sad sniff. [b]"Why are you thinking of harvesting me like some lab rat! Th
Seeing the odd creature fall, Bear runs at the green goblin and tries to bite it,
The little green goblin thing ducks out of the way of Bear's bite.
The wererat gives a sad sob. "Yeah I know...nobody likes wererats like me. And you're looking at me like anyone else. Research." The wererat spits on the ground.
"Skinder stop praat met die outsiders en bloedige hel maak jouself nuttig. Hulle gaan jou vir god ontbied." The hobgoblin next to Nigel scolds the wererat.
Skinder stop talking with those humans and bloody hell make yourself useful. They're going to dissect you for gods sake.
The badly wounded hobgoblin staggers over to Nigel, drawing its battleaxe.
"Vuur op die wold" The cyan hobgoblin commands.
Cavall gets another arrow in his ribs.
Out of the tent comes a hulking, scarred creature wielding two short swords. He moves towards Grenwold, then takes a swing at him."I will skin your hide, and add it to my collection!" He threatens.
Ringo manages to get his horns in the way of the creature's sword swing, and turns it aside so it hits only air.
"Oh ho...a little pesky deer we have here..."
Grenwold shouts in Goblin, to the underlings,
He turns to the big hobgoblin, smiling, and moves Ringo to block the ramp.
5-foot step to block the ramp up.
Swift to switch Ringo back to turtle
Standard - attacks.
Grenwold manages to smack the hobgoblin on his arm, while Ringo manages to tangle up the big scarred creature.
"Sal jy hom keer om dele van my uit te pak vir eksperimente? Of gebruik my vir eksperimente?" Skinder asks, while pointing her rapier at Nigel."En verhoed dat ander my martel?"
Will you stop him from extracting parts out of me for experiments? Or using me for experiments?
And prevent others from torturing me?
”Nigel, Skinder has been abused and is terrified by her treatment. She’s suffered at the hands of the Legion too. Please let her know you will leave her alone - we will help you with your research as much as we can otherwise.”
"Ok, I surrender." Skinder's rapier clatters to the floor.
"Julle ondankbare klein welpie! Ek moes geweet het dat jy niks sou doen nie. Hoekom het ek jou selfs geneem ..." The hobgoblin next to Nigel growls.
You ungrateful little whelp! I should have known you'd come to no good. Why I even took you in...
"Ja, ons moes haar net gehang het nadat sy besmet was." There is a general rumbling of agreement."Sy betaal ons terug deur ons te verraai..."
"Wat het jy van 'n rot verwag?"
Yeah we should have just had her hung after she was tainted.
She repays us by betraying us...that turncoat.
What were you expecting out of a rat?

Nigel raises an eyebrow in disbelief.
"Yes... zis is var - and ze ozer side has made it clear zat it is 'total var' - zere are no innocents, and no-one is spared... or have you forgotten ze tortured souls, and flayed bodies zat ve have found zus far...? Ze ozers have made it clear zat zey zink zat ze only good goblin is a dead goblin, given what has happened to the friends, families, and neighbors. I vill be interested in seeing how you explain all of zis to zem."
Nevertheless, after a final, longing look, he ignores the werebeast, turning his attention to the others surrounding him.
Father Noelan and Robert haul themselves up the tower.
A simple wooden watch tower rises above the ravine's far end, providing a perch for lookouts to scan the entire area. There are two hobgoblin bodies and a large bronze bell and hammer sit within, ready to sound the alarm.
"Good thing we took them out before they sounded the alarm." Father Noelan comments.
Cavall continues to attack green and rips out his throat.
Skinder bursts into tears, and flees to behind the tent. Cavall does not attack her.
The bandolier hobgoblin takes a 5 foot step back then throws a bomb at Ratel.
Ratel gets caught in an explosion though the wolf he's engaging ducks out of the way.
"Kyk waar jy die bomme jou idioot gooi" The green goblin scolds the bomber hobgoblin.
Watch where you're throwing your bombs, you idiot!
"Hou op, nie asof Kadu eintlik seergekry het nie."The bomber hobgoblin snaps back.
Stop whining, it isn't as if Kadu got hurt
The wolf shifts downwards and continues to attack Ratel.
Then the goblin gives Bear a solid uppercut and Bear collapses unconscious on the ground."Yayyy! Ek het 'n beer uitgejaag!"
Yay Me!! I punched out a bear!
The worg continues to bite Cavall, but Cavall ducks out of the way.
Trying to avoid the explosion, Ratel raises his arm, still taking the blast. As his arm lowers, he sees Bear fall, snarling, ”You will regret that.” He then steps closer to Bear, and attacks the wolf with scizore and shield.
Ratel does not manage to penetrate the wolf's hide with his scizore while the wolf ducks out of the way of the shield bash.
Robert will make attacks as opportunities present themselves.
Cavall barks at Nigel, sounding slightly exasperated while looking at the worg.
Look, if you're going to sit there and do nothing, could you use your wand of CLW on me, drag Bear out of trouble or at least get this little nipper off my tail?
Bear wakes up after being knocked out and finds himself prone.
Hedran steps up and slashes at the worg, wounding it badly.
The red hobgoblin drops his bow, and moves in to melee with Bear, but it clanks off Bear's armor.
The blue hobgoblin continues shooting at Cavall, sending another arrow sticking out of his ribs.
The hulking, scarred creature studies Ringo, then strikes once with his shortsword, but Ringo dances out of the way.
Father Noelan blasts both the worg and the bomber with a burst of radiance.
Father Noelan then orders Cavall to attack the bomber.
Cavall, clearly weary and bleeding from several arrows to his side, staggers over to the bomber and attacks her, dragging her to the ground.
Gren returns attacks with Ringo, saying in Goblin,
And then focuses divine protection onto his companion.
Move action - put away morningstar, Gren still has his shield out to threaten
Standard Action-Grenwold casts shield of faith, defensively, targeting Ringo
Ringo Attacks
Ringo tries to gore the creature but he sidesteps out of the way.
+1 Longbow, Precise Shot, on the Hobgoblin facing Gren and Ringo
The hobgoblin ducks out of the way.
Skinder, still sobbing, moves behind the back of the tent and disappears from view.
The bomber gets up, as Cavall bites her, but is unable to penetrate her strangely tough skin.
She backs off, then throws a bomb at both Cavall and Hedran, but Cavall ducks out of the way.
The green goblin continues to pummel at Bear, while ordering his wolf to attack Bear too, but do not manage to do anything through his tough hide.
Glad to see Bear conscious, Ratel using his innate ability to speak to animals, tells him, ”Stay down and bite the archer, while I take care of the wolf.” He then thrusts his scizore at the wolf, and swings his shield, while Bear leans forward trying to bite and claw the archer.
Ratel bashes the wolf with his shield, then runs the wolf through with his scizore. The green goblin gives a howl of grief."Kadu! Neeeeee!"
Kadu! Nooooooo!
Bear tries to bite the archer but can't really find a proper spot to, and his first claw only hits the archer's shin, though his second claw tears a nasty gnash in the archer's side.
Next round action, same target as before.
Hedran moves up and takes a swing at the cyan goblin archer, badly wounding him.
The archer takes a step back, then fires at Cavall, but Cavall ducks out of the way.
The hobgoblin next to Bear tries to hack him up with his battleaxe.
The hulking scarred creature starts striking Ringo with both his shortswords, with one slash cutting deeply into Ringo's ribs
Robert manages to stick the hulking scarred creature in the shoulder.
Father Noelan blasts both the hobgoblin archer and the grenadier, with another burst of radiance, killing the archer.
Cavall moves up to the grenadier and bites her, but does not manage to drag her to the ground.
Gren recoils visibly at the impact to Ringo and says, while grimacing, in Goblin
And the spirit of an aurochs surrounds him.
Swift Action- switch towards bull to make Grenwold a better target
Standard actions - attacks
Grenwold tries to club the hulking scarred creature but only hits his studded leather armor. Ringo tries to gore the creature but the creature slaps his attempt aside with one of his short swords.
The grenadier takes a 5 ft step back, then throws a frost bomb at Cavall and he collapses on the ground.
Hedran manages to to dodge most of the icy fragments of the bomb.
"D@mn it, we need to get to Cavall."Father Noelan pales as he sees Cavall fall.
The goblin turns to Ratel, hatred in his eyes and tries to tackle Ratel to the ground, but is clearly too upset by his wolf's demise to do so.
Stepping away from the goblin, Ratel shakes his leg a little, swinging at the goblin with shield and scizore, while the wounded Bear snap and claws at the hobgoblin
Ratel stabs the goblin with his scizore then bashes the goblin as he falls to the ground, dead.
Bear bites and claws at the wounded goblin and manages to catch him with one claw on his lower abdomen.
