Kelvin, badly hurt from the two strikes on him retrieves his potion from his pouch and gulps it down quickly.
Garrath, if you can deal with the last one up there. Brandark says, as he steps on the cheifs body moving to support Stone and Elektra, and then brings his axe down on the goblin on a dog.
Garrath grins wickedly, swiftly putting away his greatsword and retrieving his hammer. He looks up at the goblin, and growls out "This ends one of two ways. Drop everything you have, or... He looks pointedly at the goblin's head that's mashed into the post, and then back at Ripnugget as he swings the hammer at the post.

Stone attacks the Goblin on the Goblin Dog with his Scimitar and then tries to bash him with his Shield. The little cretin managed to avoid both attacks.
As Brandark climbs over the bleeding body of Chief Ripnugget, the Goblin Dog bites at the Dwarf.
It was more like a pointless growl.
Brandark's return blow at the Goblin Dog was almost as pointless. :)
Garrath meanwhile strikes a blow on the post with the last Goblin Commando up a post.
The Goblin Commando fails to hold on to the post as the mighty blow begins to splinter the wood.

Moving over to brandark Elektra tries the same again with the dwarf.
"Shoulda stayed on the ground green-skin!" Garrath snarls and brings the hammer down on the prone goblin.
After dispatching the fallen goblin, Garrath turns to the other melee, drops his hammer again and pulls his Greatsword. "Elektra, take a step back and switch places with me."
Grimicing in pain and annoyance at the dog that is currently chewing on his leg.
Bad dog, I am not a chew toy
He then attempts to put the doggie down.
Kelvin, in goblin, yells at the goblin still standing in the room, "hey, behind you!" as he tries to bluff the goblin into dropping his guard, but fails. Shooting an arrow at the creature also misses.
Round 7.5 ;)
Brandark does not have any ill effects from the Goblin Dog.
Elektra gives the Diviner's Touch to Brandark.
Kelvin tries to bluff the Goblin that just fell from the post , but the Goblin was too dazed from the fall to notice. He then sends an arrow toward the Goblin. It sails over the prone Goblin.
As the Goblin on the Goblin Dog fires an arrow at the shortest of the Longshanks, Stone slices into the little green cretin. Brandark misses his swipe with the axe.
Wincing in pain, the Goblin manages to shoot off an arrow. But the arrow just bounces off Brandark's armor.
The Goblins and the Goblin Dog in the pits fruitlessly try to climb their way out.
Puzzled, the Goblin Dog on the other side of the pit still continues to stare down at its Rider.

Then moving out of the way for garreth.
Now that all the goblins and their dogs or mounts are dead on this side of the pit, Kelvin shoots at the goblin dog on the other side, and hits it square on.
Looking over his shoulder, My thanks lady Elektra
Brandark then looks back to the pit edge, and rocks back and forth waiting for the spell to end.
Stone if you could move back.

The Goblins and the Goblin Dog in the pit continues to try and claw their way up the sides, but they make no progress.
Round Nine Start
The Goblins look up at one of the Longshanks as he fires a bolt down into the pit. But the Goblins were just too dexterous and were able to avoid Stone's Crossbow attack.
Brandark waits for stone to back up, and the pit spell to end.
Moving forward Elektra tries to do an aid another maneuver to aid Brandark.
As the pit ends and the creatures trapped in it rise back to ground level, Kelvin takes careful aim at the front goblin and sends an arrow into its head, killing it.

Elektra gives Brandark a touch of a Diviner's knowledge.
Brandark, with this extra awareness, steps over the body of the just slain Goblin . The last Goblin Dog is confused by all that has happened. The Dwarf Cavalier slices into the beast. It lets out a terrible pained howl.

Garrath strikes the goblin dog first and then with his quick reflexes tries to finish them off.
Round Nine Completion
Garrath moves up on the frightened creatures. He first strikes down the last Goblin Dog. And as the last Goblin turns to run, the big Shoanti Barbarian's Greatsword tears through leather and skin killing the little Green cretin.
The Stockade is yours! You are now Fouth Level.
The remaining rooms off the throne room do not have combatants.
This foul-smelling butchery is a horrifying affront to all the senses. Haunches of poorly smoked meat hang from hooks along the ceiling or lie heaped in and atop crates. In some cases, the meat seems to be dog or horse, but in many other cases, the meat has all-too-recognizable features, like feet, hands, or grimacing faces.
This room contains a small armory of crudely made weapons (mostly dogslicers and shortbows) and several small goblin-sized suits of studded leather armor and dented shields. To the south stand a pair of workbenches.
Several rugs made from dog or horse hide lie strewn over the dirt floor of this room. Against the north wall stands an impressive collection of horseshoes, each nailed to the wall. To the east sits a ragged padded chair next to a rickety desk that may have once been an expensive antique. In the northwest corner sits a canopied bed covered with silk sheets and sporting an elaborately carved headboard that features nymphs and satyrs cavorting in a forest. The bed’s sheets are stained with dirt while the headboard is bashed and battered.
finds a large iron key wedged under the seat
Brandark with walks back into the main room, and with a swipe, removes the head of both the boss and the warchanter in the corner.
Ah that should be the last of them for right now
Hey look at this, Brandark holds up a symbol
"Which set of stairs do we go down? These front ones or the back ones?"
I think we should go down the back stairs.
Where what goes to ?
Once again thanks to the Dawnflower Brandark comments.
Lady Elektra, can you determine if any of the items in the room are worth keeping ?
As he drags the two warchanters over to the body of ripnugget.
Garrath takes a few deep breaths and calms himself. "A rest would not be unwise. I could use the rest."
