[R6]

The weaponless goblin cowers from his leader and lurks around to the south end of the melee. With greatest care he creeps up, keeping low until his hand lands on Nocturno's fallen sword. Scrambling back he hefts the heavy weapon poderously with both hands. Jordek begins praying, preparing to revive the fallen fighter nearby, but the spindly goblin facing him stabs its tarnished short sword into the Gnome's side! The wild-haired priest struggles to maintain his prayer, but the wound breaks his concentration and the spell is lost! Back in the shadows, Linar recovers his weapon and moves to await any other foes venturing beyond the edge of the torchlight.

Katten tries to force her way around Krak, but there is not room at the moment. Instead she lashes out again at the goblin leader. Her axe cuts a nasty looking gash against the side of his head. Beside her, Nocturno's blade strikes true as well, hacking down one of the injured goblin guardsmen!

The Wetrocks goblins trade blow for blow as the goblin chieftan Mixeg wades into the melee with the Felis Ranger! His axe slashes a broad and heavy stroke against Katten's torso, eliciting a feral cry of pain! Dran pushes forward, eager to join the fray but unable to move around the armored elf. Likewise Dellinanth is wounded by one of his opponents, and Krak himself slices another smaller cut into the Ranger's arm! The party gives better than they get, however, when the wild-elven man ends one of his foes at the tip of his spear; and the wild-elf woman badly damages the goblin that stabbed Jordek!

[Actions Round 7?]
[Jordek was hit while casting! Though it is not yet detailed in the rules thread, I like the idea of casters having a chance to retain the spell (which 2e doesn't normally allow for) I think a PPDM save makes the most sense because it can sometimes be used when will or fortitude is needed. Both apply here. I'll probably formalize this and add it to the rules thread for future reference, maybe with a penalty based on spell level since it seems higher level spells would take keener concentration but i'll hash that out in a bit]

"Someone, help punchy man!" She howls, trying to move the battle away from the fallen Human.

"If there ever was a time for you to show us your mettle drow this is it!"

Nocturno will wind up to swing at the goblin closest to Elden.


Longsword(18): [1d20] = 5 [1d8+3] = 6+3 = 9
...........But he isn't Pyros.......

[R7]

The goblin bearing Nocturno's Longsword circles around to Dellinanth, slashing him badly across the leg! The elf pales visibly, but just manages to maintain his feet! The other hide-armored goblin before Jordek attempts to stab the Gnome again, but bumbles the attack. He is promptly rewarded for his efforts by an elven arrow to the face, dropping him instantly. Jordek recites his healing prayer and touches the fallen human beside him. A golden glow washes over Elden, healing some of his wounds! Coughing and gasping, the human fighter glances around at the combat frantically! Weakly, he half crawls half drags himself backwards, away from the front line!

Katten slashes with her weapons, but the blades pass just a hair's breadth from her target; as do Nocturno's from his! Linar creeps out of the darkness and circles around behind the hide-clad goblin that badly wounded Dellinanth. His longsword slides across the armor, but the Drow sinks his swort-sword into the goblin's back up to the hilt. Nocturno's longsword slips from its clawed grasp and a gurgling sound escapes the creature as it slides off of Linar's weapon; dead as a stone before it hits the ground. Dellinanth likewise sinks his spear into the chain-armored goblin still facing him, doing substantial damage

Dran, now with a clear path, circles around the heavily armored Elven Priest and attacks! His teeth sink into the goblin-guard's leg deeply as he tugs and shakes and tears at the limb. The young wolf hops back a step to avoid the flailing goblin, and prepares to take another bite! The remaining goblins continue to hack and slash at the party, their own weapons passing mere inches from elven and felis flesh! It is clear that the next few moments will deside the fate of both sides...

===============================
Wow just wow

Jordek scrabbles upright, drawing upon his divine powers again, points at the goblin leader and Commands loudly "Surrender!"
----------------------
OOC - He is casting Command. I know it only lasts for a round (if it works) but here's to hoping it will affect the other goblin's morale at least

With a feral cry, Katten cuts down the vicious KRAK with a heavy swing from her longsword! Whirling back with an acrobatic twist impossible for any but a felis she sinks her hand axe deeply into the side of the chieftan Mixeg! Behind her, the diminutive
cleric utters a hasty prayer and shouts a single command, Surrender!!! The cheiftans eyes go blank for a second and the bloody axe slips from his hands as he raises them almost unknowingly in the universal sign for surrender!

The others continue their efforts agains the remaining guardsmen, but to little avail. Suddenly the pair of chain-armored guards realize what has happened, their leader killed and their very chieftan in full surrender!!! Their reactions could not be more diverese as one drops his own blade and turns to flee! Dran manages to tear a sizeable chunk out of the back of the goblin's haunch, while Nocturno's blade misses it narrowly. The other goblin guard, however, curses emphatically and redoubles his efforts against Dellinanth! His tenaicity is rewarded with yet another puncture from the wild-elf's spear as the goblin rages on. Chief Mixeg looks around suddenly as if coming to his senses and utterly confused as to what has happened...

"Keep down!" She barks in the Goblins language. "I will not hurt you anymore if you stay down." Bringing the blade of the Longsword to his neck she ushers Dran over. "Guard him."

"You will tell us where the prisoners are. You will tell us now." Kicking his weapon away she glares at him, eyes full of anger.

Elden crawls to the wall and props himself up.
===========
Nocturno adds his blade to the goblin's neck. Breathing heavy.

Katten hurls her hand axe into the darkness, hearing it clatter harmlessly against the stones. She and Nocturno aim their swords at the confused chieftan. Dran circles around behind Mixeg to surround him

A few feet away, Linar and Dellinanth finally take down the remaining guardsman. Realization comes over the goblin chieftan's face, as well as a scornful look of contempt. The large goblin dives for his weapons, somehow miraculously evading the lognswords and the wolf's teeth. Coming up with his axes, he snarls, Stoopid weak things! Ossunin will mash you into NOTHING! In a blind rage, the chieftan prepares to try the last!
