Loping through the underbrush he sees his next target. Letting the battle rush through him, he feels exhilerated at the prospect of felling his hated enemy.

Adele rolls her eyes at the hobgoblin leader's sudden fear. Well, honestly, I tried to tell him he stood no chance. Just because one is a member of an evil race, I don't see why one has to be unreasonable, she mutters to herself as she moves closer to the battle.

IF THE LEADER IS DROPPED BY FINDOR
Gritting his teeth and spitting blood, Maysalkirii sees the wounded leader go down viciously from the Wizard's fire. Stepping onto the still-smoking corpse, Maysalkirii splits his attacks, Ilyandrosa lunging for hobgoblin 8 and Chianni snaking out for hobgoblin 9.

Dragox yells to be heard over the din around him, "Remember, we need to not dispatch all these creatures. We need to question one of them about their plans here1"
Seeing little effect with their arrows, several of the hobgoblins draw their longswords and rush at your party. Their coordinated efforts and bravery indicate martial training and teamwork not typically seen in goblinoids.

Findor looks around at his companions, who seem more intent on beating the hobgoblins into a pulp than interrogating them for information.
"If you wish to subdue our opponents, now is the time to do it..." He states quietly but begins moving a hand in a strange circular motion that seems to be gathering energy.
Seeing the hobgoblins backing away Narses knows the fight is won. Not wanting to let them go so easely, and knowing his patners will want to ask questions, he rushes the nearest one and rams his forehead into his face.
Attack, unarmed
dmg (non-leathal)
Lost in a fury born from a life of imprisonment, Maysalkirii leaps clear of Narses' melee with hobgoblin 8 and moves around the hobgoblins, cutting off their retreat. He then lashes out with Ilyandrosa at hobgoblin 3.
Her face darkening with outrage at what must have befallen the inhabitants of the farmhouse, Adele moves quickly into the fray; none of the suspects in this crime must escape justice.
Findor releases the energy swirling around his fist, pulling back some of the energy just as it leaves his fingers.

The last conscious hobgoblin draws his sword. A look of steely resignation forms on his face. He takes a step back and cries, "For the Kulkor Zhul! For Azarr Kul!". With that, he flips his weapon and falls on his own sword. He body tenses for a moment, then goes limp.

Adele gasps as she realizes that there might still be survivors in the farmhouse. Keep him alive for questioning, she insists, indicating the unconcsious hobgoblin, then dashes back to the doorway.
Perception
Narses's head snaps up and he looks to the farmhouse. Still pumped from the battle he rushes to it and disapears through the door.
Noticing his companions moving towards the farmhouse, Findor stills himself for a second, though his ears still ring with the sounds of combat, and finally hears the muffled sounds from the farmhouse. He turns his attention to the unconscious hobgoblin.
He reaches into his backpack and rummages around until he finds the silk rope, then proceeds to tie the hobgoblin's legs together and his arms to his body.
Dragox quickly moves to the unconscious hobgoblin and quickly asks for Saranrae's blessings for himself and the enemy.

The door opens into a bedroom, with a single bed, pantry, and fireplace. A door on the left-hand side is just past the head of the bed. The sheets are rumpled and unmade, but the room is generally clean. No fire burns in the hearth. What you do notice, however, is an overwhelming reek of blood and decay as soon as you open the door. Curiously, you can also smell charcoal despite the absence of a fire.

Picking up the scent of blood and fire, sences still sharp and his blood pumping, Narses kicks open the door to what he asumes is the bedroom.
Feek (I'll be using both names interchangeably) casts Invisibility and moves into the corner of the room Narses is in, keeping his eyes peeled for trouble.
Adele slips into place behind Narses , whispering, Do try to be gentle, Narses. If there are captives in there, you might terrify them.
After healing himself, the hobgoblin, and the goblin, Dragox checks to be sure the hobby was bound properly. If so, he trots along after the rest of the squad, checking out the small home.
Keeping one eye on the bound prisoner, Findor double moves to the west to retrieve his bow.
Narses kicks open the door to the second door amidst a crash of splinters. He does not, however, get a very good view of the room. A guttural voice shouts, "Now!" Three bursts of flame fill the doorway, singeing Narses badly. As the flames disperse, you see three creatures that resemble thin, lanky wolves with reddish-brown fur, white claws, and burning, fiery red eyes. (PIC). One of them is on a table in the center of the room, the others standing on the floor. Behind the table stands a hobgoblin wearing thick banded mail and wielding a heavy mace and shield. (PIC). The reek of death is overwhelming in this room. You spy the remains of several humans lying in the far corner.

Dragox moves into the cramped home, seeing the evil spawned hounds breathing their fire at Narses. "Your fire is nothing compared to that of the Dawnflower, demons," he shouts as he swings at the closest one.
