Round 4
The goblins continue to act with surprising quickness, getting off their attacks before the party is able. Fresh after blasting the party's magic user with a '
magic missile' spell,
Vir-Kayik rushes at
Junius and smacks the dwarf that moved into its area with its thick wooden staff
(-3).
Lom-Kayik follows suit, slashing at
Dimly, and watches as his goblin blade slices through the heavily wounded dwarf, dropping him
(-5)!
A pair of the goblin guards
(#2, #4) continue to swarm
Sacro, with one managing to sneak in a perfectly placed strike. The elf clutches at the open slash in his gut, watching blood spill out between his fingers, before ultimately succumbs to his wounds.
(-5) A second pair of goblins
(#3, #5) cleave at
AdaRue, but the heavily armored midwife manages to successfully fend off all their attempts.
The first wolf continues to rip into
Rainey, taking advantage of its free, uncontested meal. The second wolf, picking up a scent in the hallway, quickly wheels around and, spying
Keebler first, lunges at the elf, but is swat away by the elf's longbow.
Keebler quickly switches to his longsword and, with a perfectly placed strike, opens a gaping wound in the side of his wolf adversary.
Horatio waits for the opportune moment and sinks an arrow deep into the hindquarter of the wolf that has returned for them. The wolf howls in pain and, limping badly, appears to question whether to flee, but snarls with a refocused sense of purpose!
With the goblin shaman upon him,
Juinus is forced to quickly drop his bow and switch to his scimitar, but slashes wildly.
"O dech dhach!" the magic-using goblin taunts in goblin, which
Junius understands as:
"You will fall."
Back in the fray,
Vernon issues a wicked slash upon
Lom-Kayik and watches the goblin zombie crash to the ground; its crown falling off its head and spinning in a circular pattern before wobbling still.
AdaRue, quickly stashes her holy symbols and wheels around to brain the goblin positioned directly behind her
(#3), but the wildly creature ducks effortlessly out of the way.
Canun bravely steps forward and swats at the nearest goblin
(#5) but his weak mace attempt is harmlessly blocked aside.

Once their king falls, a sense of panic appears to overcome the regular goblin guards engaged in melee and they appear ready to quit the fight.
However, when
Sacro fell, the effects of his '
sleep' spell also came to an end, and the trio of goblins affected appear to be collecting themselves and readying to re-engage.

A few things:
- To help alleviate some of the clutter on the map, I have removed anything that has been killed (including Rainey, Dimly, Sacro, and Lom-Kayik);
- Speaking of Lom-Kayik, he was the only undead creature in the battle. Since Vernon did enough damage to dispatch him, I allowed AdaRue to attack as normal against the swarm of goblins she's now facing (besides, her turn attempt would have failed
) Sadly, I missed for her.
.
- With Vir-Kayik still standing and the reemergence of the sleeping goblins, I am going to allow the current goblin guards a new morale check.
Since it's not always obvious on the map, I will keep a running list of opponents still alive here:
- Vir-Kayik
- Wolf #1 -- injured
- Wolf #2 -- heavily injured
- Goblin #2 -- shaky morale
- Goblin #3 -- shaky morale
- Goblin #4 -- shaky morale
- Goblin #5 -- shaky morale
- Goblin #6 -- awake
- Goblin #7 -- awake
- Goblin #8 -- awake
