The Worg lunges at the ranger again, but the nimble felis dodges easily this time. Again she slahes the large canine across the face with her sword and bringing her axe to bear as well. Beside her the goblin manages to sink its spear into Dran's hide, eliciting a sharp yelp from the adolescent wolf. With a ferocious snarl her animal companion lunges at his assailant, catching the small humanoid's throat in his jaws and shaking it furiously! The snap of bones can be heard as it twitches feebly, ultimately falling still.
Behind the front lines, Findalsip picks his way over to the next unconscious goblin. He takes careful aim with his club and with one well-aimed strike he caves its head in. Jordek tries again to make contact with Katten to heal her, but the fierce melee prevents him from finding her in the dark.
Deeper into the cave, Bullock rolls on with his savage flurry of attacks downing three more goblins with terrifying efficiency; though the last manages a parting shot with his spear immediately before he is crushed to death by the Minotaur's gnashing teeth!
Abruptly a series of beastly howls can be heard, unsettlingly close by. A stream of Worgs and their goblin riders come barreling into view with snarling savagery! Two peel off to engage the Minotaur, heedless of the half-dozen goblin bodies scattered about. The mounted Worg catches the fighter-mage somewhat off-guard and tears a substantial wound into his side! The second worg begins to circle around towards his flank, growling menacingly. The last conscious goblin nearby seems bolstered by the reinforcement. His mace slips neatly beneath the much larger humanoid's guard and strikes a hard blow against his leg! Bullock's stance wavers slightly with the blow and the quickly accumulating injuries! Several more mounted worgs rush past him towards the entrance...
Back towards the rest of the party, Linar circles behind one of the goblins threatening Nocturno (who has begun chanting). The Drow swings hard, but by chance the goblin steps forward to attack the elf at the same moment! Meeting no resistance, the longsword flies from Linar's fingers and skitters across the cave floor and into the water to the East! The rogue's short sword, however, finds its mark and drops the goblin in one blow.
Echoing howls create a cacophony of sound as they ring from every direction off of the irregular natural stonework. Suddenly the party sees a quartet of mounted Worg round the corner in a somewhat disjointed stream. One of their number barks an order in goblin (Halt!) and the others struggle to contain their mounts but manage. Three of the riders wear mangey hide armor obviously made of worg pelts and bear what appear to be human-made spears rather than the crude weapons the rest of the tribe seem to have. The fourth, and obvious leader, wears splint mail made of bone and worg hide and carries a trident. He has little trouble controling his larger mount and glares at the situation ahead as he apparently decides how to proceed.
Just then Nocturno finishes his ritual with an almost feral shout of pure rage!!!
