With a deep rumbling in her throat, Ferocia keeps clawing away at the orange goblin dog!
Milgen flings another snowball at a dog, as it appears the goblin in the watchtower is too afraid of being killed to show it's face to cast or shoot.
I told them I'd be around to help, but I'm not hearing anyone respond from inside the fort. I think the fort is undermanned, cleaning out the dogs will make it easier for them in the end. Besides, there's something in that building, perhaps a prisoner. They're guarding it, and if it's a prisoner, I don't want a goblin to sneak in here and kill them if they realize they're losing the fort.
Azalia's arrow strikes home killing the injured goblin still mounted.
Anneka casts her luck charm on Drazh once more.
Miron seeks the most wounded goblin dog and launches an arrow towards it killing the beast.
With a deep rumbling in her throat, Ferocia keeps clawing away at the goblin dog!
Feeling confident, Drazh went to swing, but at the last moment he slipped on the entrails of a goblin. While he stayed on his feet, even the magical assistance he was receiving wasn’t able to make the blow land.

The three goblin dogs break and start running over the bridge... once the third one is on however it breaks sending them plummeting below.
In the tower to the east as straw falls to the ground two goblins spring up. They looks initially at Milgen but then start shouting and fire their bows into the carnage at the front. Clearly raising an alarm but door for now remains unbarred.
The goblin hits Ferocia in the chest but the blow is stopped by her armour and sternum before doing any serious damage.
With one of their number dead the goblin dogs unable to reach Milgen huddle away from him trying to stay out of view snarling and barking.

"Inside! Now!"
Miron runs into the fortress, almost reckless in his speed.
Failure is not an option. Sandpoint depends upon us.
The floor of this room is hard-packed soil, as if the builders either ran out of lumber after building the walls and roof, or as if they simply never thought about building a floor. A number of poorly preserved horse and dog heads are mounted along the eastern wall, while along the southern wall hangs a pair of large black-feathered wings tacked to the wall with daggers.
Six goblins are in this area, clearly just having entered the area but are still largely getting in each others way.
Miron dashes to a corner in the northwest, looking to use it as cover against the goblins.
Miron continues shooting goblins.
They must be broken as a threat to Sandpoint.
Ferocia gestures for Anneka to follow the others inside, before rushing after Miron and Drazh. She swipes at the pink goblin with one of her clawed hands.
Unable to hit the dogs anymore, and hearing the fighting moving inside, Milgen drops from the wall...
Then races down the edge of the wall, where the brush is not, turns right and races down, tapping Anneka on the shoulder as he passes. He holds up both hands to sign. They are inside now, there are 3 goblin dogs and I think a prisoner inside, we need to hurry
Anneka races in behind Milgen!
Azalia races in and fires her bow killing off a goblin.
Anneka races in behind Milgen!
Miron dashes to a corner in the northwest, looking to use it as cover against the goblins. Now Miron continues shooting goblins. They must be broken as a threat to Sandpoint.
Ferocia gestures for Anneka to follow the others inside, before rushing after Miron and Drazh. She swipes at the goblin with one of her clawed hands but misses it.
Drazh ran up as fast as he could, placing himself right in front of the goblin with the teal colored socks. He wasn’t fast enough to be able to swing his hammer, but he could block the way in so if any goblin tried to force their way into the room he would get an attack of opportunity.

Goblin turn coming soon
Still off balance the goblins fail to hit the two dwarves and can not bring their numbers to bear.

Milgen moves in, sees the bottle neck, and grins. Moving up next to Ferocia and Drazh, he pushes out a hand and electricity flies from his fingers and explodes out in an arc!
Miron continues firing arrows into the packed goblin excuse for ranks, moving if necessary to find targets.
Azalia's arrow finds itself lodged in a goblins throat.
Anneka moves up behind Ferocia and casts guidance.
Miron continues firing arrows into the packed goblin excuse for ranks.
Ferocia finds the goblin just a little too nimble.
Now in position to hold the goblins back, Drazh fought side by side with Ferocia. While not the most normal of dwarves, she at least was proving herself more than able to hold back a horde. He swung his hammer at the goblin before him knocking it to the ground dead.
Milgen moves in, sees the bottle neck, and grins. Moving up a little past Ferocia and Drazh, he pushes out a hand and electricity flies from his fingers and explodes out in an arc!
Disturbed by the unexpected ferocity of the assault the two goblins retreat through a door to the east where you can here them shouting at more goblins.
An open flight of wooden stairs winds up to a trap door in the ceiling, thirty feet above.
The two badly injured goblins are here but the two guards from the tower are halfway down the stairs. They have better equipment than most of the goblins you have seen their armour reinforced with leather studs.

Seeing the tide of battle flow away, Miron flows with it, maintaining his rate of fire.
Anneka stays back, but tries to cast another charm on Ferocia.
Milgen moves in with Miron, and takes the other corner.
Seeing two goblins with better equipment moving in, Milgen flings a ball of crackling lighting at the one with the blue scarf on it's head!
Ferocia stalks off down the hall after the others and the goblins. Suddenly, she pauses. Realizing she'd be leaving a lot of unchecked and potentially hazardous doors between herself and Anneka and Azalia, she moves up the to nearby double doors and peeks inside, instead.
Azalia fires her bow and strikes down the closest goblin.

Drazh pushes in, eager to keep the momentum. His chakram would fell a normal goblin with that kind of a blow but these ones are made of sterner stuff.
Seeing two goblins with better equipment moving in, Milgen flings a ball of crackling lighting at the one with the blue scarf on it's head! ...the little goblin is just a little too spry for him this time and ducks down.
The two goblins fire off their bows but edge up the stairs nervously.

Miron continues launching arrows at the remaining goblins.
Sighing, Milgen flings another ball of crackling lighting at the one with the blue scarf on it's head!
Ferocia shuts the door, confident no reinforcements will come from there--for now--and moves to the next door, peeking inside.
Anneka runs to keep up with Ferocia. Continuing to use her luck charms.
Azalia moves up and fires killing the closest goblin.

Drazh ran after the goblins, and swung his hammer at the closest. They were running out of room to flee, and the last thing he wanted was to get into an exchange of missile fire. Close combat was where he held the advantage.
Sighing, Milgen flings another ball of crackling lighting at the one with the blue scarf on it's head!
The goblin drops it's bow and draws it's horsechopper, swinging at Drazh.
Ferocia and Anneka see movement out of the corner of their eyes. The goblin druid they fought before has returned! Before they have time to register him he uses his sling to hit Anneka in the shoulder!

Ferocia leaps into action, lunging at the Druid with claws bared.
Miron hears sounds of combat coming from west of his position, which breaks his total focus on the goblin in front of him.
Anneka. Ferocia. There must be an enemy there.
He immediately turns, sprints back through the corridor, behind and then overtaking Anneka's position.
This one may not be alone for long.
Azalia moves back and lodges an arrow in the goblin druids thigh.
Anneka shouts at in pain as she is hit but maintains some composure, moving forward and placing a charm on Ferocia

Miron steps forward, next to Ferocia, and resumes his fire, his target now the druid.
Ferocia follows the druid with both claws flying savagely.
Milgen fires an electrical arc at the druid!
Anneka whirls around. Her face is drained of color, perhaps as a result of her own blood staining her dress, or perhaps due to something else.
The goblin druid's own shadow seems to rebel, tugging him toward the earth.
Azalia fires at the druid but can't get a good shot.

Milgen fires an electrical arc at the druid!
The goblin tries to squirm free of the shadows but can't seem to get free. Yet still he asks for no quarter, showing more conviction than many of his peers.

After the group quickly gathers materials from the druid, Miron speaks up.
"Milgen, did you see any other goblins from your higher vantage point earlier?"
Milgen pants, and then shakes his head, making a sign for 'No.'. Goblin Dogs though, 3 still alive, and guarding a building, there seemed to be something or someone in it, a prisoner maybe. He signs as he gets his breath back. "Dogs, 3 left, guarding building, prisoner?" He says aloud between pants.
Miron assembles the scattered words rapidly.
Thank Abadar for training
"In which direction is the prisoner?"
Miron gets ready to move.
"Back where we came from, last door on the right, in front of the entrance..." Milgen wheezes. "If you allow me a moment, I can kill them from the interior wall, they won't be able to hide or dodge, much as we did for the undead." He signs as he talks. "Upstairs likely has an exit we can use."
Ferocia nods. "Yeah, let's keep up the pressure."
Miron simply states:
"That is a good plan. Let us enact it."
It takes a little while but Milgen is able to pick off all but one which can stay out of view... but at this point a lone goblin dog offers little challenge to your group.
This large courtyard is open to the sky. Tenacious clumps of partially trampled grass grow fitfully here and there in the hard-packed earth, in places stained with blood or scratched with furrows.
The door to this outbuilding has been nailed shut, and additional boards have been nailed over these nails. The door itself is cracked and splintered in places. Two dead goblins, their heads crushed in by something heavy, lie in the dirt by the door, their ripening bodies covered with flies.
Miron stops in his tracks at the sight of the bodies abd stares briefly at them from a distance.
Although curious, Ferocia gestures back at the rest of the fort. "Whatever's locked inside there isn't going anywhere. We should handle the goblins before they try to escape."
