Act 2, Scene 3: Twisting Paths

[Nocturno]

Nocturno slashes at the goblin that skewered Linar.

Raging Longsword(16): [1d20+2]=7+2=9 [1d8+5]=6+5=11

He will start shouting insults in Elven about the goblins lineage, and how it is mixed with their worgs.

[TristenC]

Bullock pushes his way to the front, drawing his massive broadswords. In a sweeping slash he cuts down the worg on the front lines, providing an opportunity for the badly injured Drow to retreat. The goblin rider tumbles artlessly from his mount into a heap on the ground. Wasting no time, Nocturno executes the downed goblin with grim efficiency.

The Drow begins to withdraw but an orcish crossbow bolt strikes, further injuring him! Retreating to a columned alcove he offers up a shaky prayer of healing, and a small portion of his wounds close. Katten fires back into the now less-crowded goblin line, killing another worg rider, and leaving but a single beast facing their melee…

Just as things seem to be letting up, a mass of orcs and goblins round the corner to the South. Many are in chainmail or makeshift bone-splint, and the orcs carry a variety of polearms, axes, crossbows and other weapons. In the back a grizzled and heavily scarred goblin in bone-splint raises a battle-axe above his head and shouts in common. Keel dose wort-less slaves, an' Bring me da Head of da BULL!!

====
Nearby things begin to lool grim as Gorme and Fin try their luck at fending off the Worgs to no avail. Jordek mutters erratically to himself, twisting the intricate ring from the Basilisk cave. The loop of black flecked with tiny sparkling chips of azure, violet and cleat gems flickers in the darkness. Finally he holds it aloft, and a spray of purple sparks streaks from the ring; snapping, crackling and popping across the stunned enemy! When the scattered flashes subside, the two goblins lie motionless on the ground and the Worgs snarl and paw at their snouts and faces in protest.

One lashes out viciously, biting Fin, but Aldgild's well-aimed pickaxe strikes it's hard skull in retaliation. The two canines, clearly suddenly riderless and the worse for wear, seem to be reconsidering their circumstances…
