Back to the Mud!
Goblin Initiative: 7
Heroes Initiatives: Kranston (1), Muldgarr (4), Montego & Sai (5), Adelphocleas & Cassius (10)
Seeing their foes caught off guard, the Goblins of the Cross-Eyed Crow tribe howl and charge in for the kill!
Being the first one to react,
Kranston, wide-eyed with desperation, loads one of his special sling stones and with a grunt, lets fly. The runes on the stone glow as it punches through a Goblin's skull, blowing the creature's brains out the back of its head.
Wincing in pain,
Mulgarr turns and fires one arrow and then a second, but neither find their mark.
Montego sneers as the goblinoid filth attack, and gripping his two-handed sword, he charges directly at them! As the ground nearby begins to tremble, the ranger takes the head off one of his adversaries like a hot knife through butter.
Sai grips his holy symbol and calls upon Nature itself to revolt "against your hateful kind. Grow! Grow! Snag these beasts!"
Nature responds as vines grab legs and brush snags torsos, effectively disrupting the headlong charge of the Cross-Eyed Crows.

Their charge broken, the Goblins do their best to avoid the snagging vines and grappling bushes as they reach their intended prey. Wicked-looking blades hack and stab, hoping to win them a tasty morsel of elfin flesh...or better yet, horse flesh! They pair off and wade in screaming and cawing like their namesake totem.
Montego deflects both attacks against him, but Kranston takes a deep wound to his shoulder, nearly numbing his entire arm.
Muldgarr fends off his attackers with his bow, while
Cassius is nicked again, this time along his forearm. But he grits his teeth, draws both blades and cuts down both of his attackers, skewering one and nearly splitting the second in half like a melon!
Severely wounded,
Adelphocleas spits blood and grabs a blue-fletched arrow. But when he looks up to find a target, his foes are already upon him. One slashes and misses, but the other drives its rusty blade deep into the centaur's upper torso. The Goblin caws loudly as Adelphocleas falls backward, his eyes fluttering in the pouring rain.
Sai sees his comrade fall, but barely has time to register it as two Goblins come in howling for more blood! He easily dodges one wild swing, but the second catches him in the ribs, nearly piercing his heart!
A screech and a white blur announces the arrival of
Talon, swooping in to protect his friend, scratching and pecking, gouging and tearing at the face of the Goblin who deeply wounded Sai. With a cry of triumph, the great owl literally picks the Goblin up and takes to the air!
