[Xander Morhaime]

The goblin was hit in the throat with the shuriken - and if that wasn't bad enough, while it scrabbled to pull the sharp bit of metal out, both of them got hit by a lightning blast from the dragonborn. It didn't leave much of an impression on the other goblin, but the one with the shuriken still in its throat looked a bit worse for wear.

Then things got a bit more hectic.

A shape detached from the shadows behind the nearest fire-bearing statue, leaping at Ryltar. It looked a fair deal like the brown goblins, though uglier, smellier, and green in colour. It also didn't appear too competent a fighter, as it missed its attack... but in doing so, distracted the drow while a second of the green creatures emerged from the shadows right next to the rogue. Before he could blink, the goblin's handblade had pierced his armour and he felt a nasty burning sensation around the wound - poison, no doubt.

Two more of the creatures leapt from the alcoves lining the stairs where the brown goblins stood, turning their attention on Saliak. One had briefly landed on the dragonborn's back, giving him a nasty cut for his troubles. The other again took advantage of the distraction, finding a chink in the runepriest's armour and sinking his blade in there, intense pain shooting through Saliak's body from the combination of a stab wound and the poison on the blade.

SNEAK ATTACK!

"Ambush! Should have saw this coming...! Saliak!" Aden decides to do what he does best: Pep talks. Aden breathes in deep, and concentrates on his voice. "Saliak! Show your Valor, and do not be cowed by their blows! You are one of the proud race of Dragonborn, and these lowly fools have no sway over your actions! Have faith, for I shall distract them in order for you to get into a more advantageous position!" Aden then moves in and this allows Saliak to sort of shift around to get out of the goblin sandwich and then he attempts a strike. It goes poorly, but at least Saliak can continue fighting.

[S.K. Ren]

  Before Ma'kirr could warn her allies, they charged head first into a trap. Bloodthirsty little idiots, she thought, while eying Saliak. Ok, not quite so little.... Looking over at Tristan, she noticed him stiff with surprise. "Hey, Knight Boy. Stop standing there and give Ryltar a hand."
  Leaping into the fray, Ma'kirr took several blows from the goblins. Fresh blood running down her arm sent a wave of exhilaration through her body. One moment she was normal and the next her body erupted with fur and markings that were not present before. Her face too had become more bestial though still retaining a human like appearance. As she landed she stuck the ground, bowling over her opponents.

((Covering for Gargulec. I bring you Tristan))

  "Oh! Yes milady." quickly Tristan moved in to help Ryltar with the vain hope that the act would bring him onto Ma'kirr's good graces. Approaching the last standing goblin, he readied his sword.
  "Now foul creature, lets see how you fare against an aware opponent." He taunted.

The green creatures seemed a lot harder to pin down than the others previously encountered, weaving and dodging away from blows to strike from a different quarter. However, despite her sustained injuries, Ma'kirr put their dodging on a momentary hold, smashing three of the wretched-smelling things to the floor. She did it so well, in fact, that one of the creatures stopped moving entirely and soon all that remained of it was a sphere of glowing green light. And, unfortunately, the smell.

The pike-soldiers, taking advantage of the confusion of the ambush, took the opportunity to charge in, focusing their attacks on Saliak and Ma'kirr, knocking both off their feet and leaving them badly injured - the monk in particular. Finally, in all the confusion, yet another of the green creatures had somehow managed to appear behind your ranks and leapt on Aden's back, delivering a painful stab before jumping off.

[Xander Morhaime]

Landing only one blow out of three might have been furstrating, but sometimes just the one blow was enough - the creature thrashed about for a few moments when Ryltar's blade pinned it to the ground, then grew still, soon following the now-familiar pattern and collapsing into a sphere of greenish light.

Assassin at H4 is very dead, but the smell will haunt you forever...

[Tavana]

The Dragonborn considers his sudden view of the ceiling. This is most unfortunate. That smell will have to be dealt with, and swiftly. Shaking out his scales, Saliak stands up. With a glance at Ma'kirr, a bright gold rune solidifies itself on her armor. Turning, he addresses one of the small green creatures...with his warhammer.

Despite the grievous injuries inflicted upon it, the remaining assassin got to its feet again. However, its injuries seem to have taken a toll on its abilities, as it missed Saliak quite horribly. The Sneak that Tristan had singled out fared no better, its blade glancing off the paladin's shield harmlessly.

Saliak heals Ma'kirr for 8 points (11 + 1 THP left, still bloodied) and himself for 11 points (26 left, not bloodied).

The assassin and sneak then proceed to miss horribly.

"Aghh! Damnation! This golbin bastard is-" Aden then notices the gravely wounded Ma'kirr. "Ma'Kirr! Rise! feel the energy from within! Do not be stopped by such weak blows! You can't be a legend if they take you down now!" and then Aden whirls around "Now back to you...HUUUAAAHHH!!!" Aden brings his sword around in a way reminiscent of a hurricane, Some extra oomph is put behind this one, as Aden spins around almost lightning fast, giving the goblin no chance to dodge.

[S.K. Ren]

Taking advantage of Saliak's distraction, she moved behind the brown goblins. Vitality coursed through her as her allies granted her strength.
Lets see how you like being tossed about you little brown f****... she thought violently. With catlike grace, she tore at their backs. Flinging one of them towards the shadowy recesses of the stairwell's walls, she took a look around the area for any more sneaking enemies.

((Tristan's Turn))

The goblin locked in combat with Tristan missed pitifully, sneaking to the side. Hearing Aden cry out, he turned to his relief, to see him smite another goblin quite thoroughly.
"Come on you vile creature. Is that best you can do?" He taunted again, circling around to the goblins wounded ally. With a swift strike he tried to finish off the goblin, but the creatures unsteady legs allowed it to dodge his blow.

Mad: It is +9. Also, a critical hit means the attack deals full basic damage, in addition to any extra critical effects. Also also, the Tactical Presence only allows two allies to shift in your case - the amount is equal to the Int modifier.

The green creature that had tried to attack from the rear was momentarily overwhelmed by the rain of Aden's blows, reducing it to a faintly-glowing green mush. The two brown creatures were also badly battered by Ma'kirr's attacks, leaving them noticeably worse for wear. Tristan's blow missed its mark, however, and the creature darted away to seek cover in the confusion of the melee. The spear-goblins retaliated then, one stabbing out at Aden, the force of the blow pushing him out away from the main crowd of fighters, while the other turned its attention to Ma'kirr, once more knocking the monk off her feet and inflicting more serious injuries.
