Bullock wields his deadly one-two bastard sword combo yet again, critically injuring and finally felling the monstrous Lead Worg in mere seconds! Black blood coats his bared blades, running rivulets in the gritty grime of the cavern floor. Gnaw, shouts obscenities as his mount goes down, but the crazed cavalier keeps his footing even as his canine mount crashes to the cold stone. The last remainibg worg and rider, suddenly alone before the onsolaught, back rapidly away; tail tucked and swiftly retreating to the south passage out of sight. The orcs begin to withdraw as well, though the crossbow wielder takes an ultimately ineffective parting shot.
Linar calls upon the natural powers of his dark heritage, purging the magical darkness from around them; leaving only the natural dark of the cavern.
Sorry about the blessing, folks, but we needed to see. The Drow remarks. The forest gnome begins a prayer of his own.
You're doing great, Bully ol boy. Try not to catch every spear though. Save some spear-catching for the other pincushion! Jordek jibes as he lays another healing spell on the Minotaur, repairing all but the smallest cut.
Nocturno, still posesses of an almost other-worldly rage, cuts down the other fallen worg rider. Suddenly Worg-master Gnaw stands alone to face the devastating front-line. Behind, the chanting of the smoke-shaman continues as the tribal cleric conjures a curse to inflict upon the foes of the wet-rocks! A quartet of shaken but undiverted goblins form a small semicircle before their medicine man as he continues. With a whistling whip, an arrow grazes the smoldering .
Yoose flesh weel Smolder an Smoke in Ossunin's bile for tens hundreds yeeers! The shaman screeches in rage at being interrupted. A quiet expletive soon follows as her bowstring snaps, perhaps a consequence of the Wetrocks' curse?
—
On the other side of the wall Fin prays quietly to the Lord of Deepearth; reaching out to alter the very state of the metal chains binding the captives. The two goblins do not stand idle during this blasphemous display of Gnomish worship! Gorme the Forest Gnome hurls another rock, sending one of the goblins to the ground in a heap. The fighter-woman interposes herself between the deep gnome and the last goblin. With a wild screech he charges, but with a blood curdling howl he staggers back; the end of the pickaxe protruding from his skull.
I am Aldgild. My young sons are captives here as well, though they keep us separated. I will not risk them, but hear me. If you free us, those of us willing and able to will help you kill these goblin scum. She says grimly
