The Wayfarer's Inn

The last knife wielder stabs wildly at Jasmine's torso, missing as her fury powered ax is spun to follow the goblins poor move and cleave into the back of the creature. It tumbles forward, each half comgin to rest on either side of the temple's door.

The air grows warm as the hell bent fire wielders bring their firebrands in hopes of burning flesh. One catches Osric square in the chest, the torch's flames wafting up past his face. (4 dmg), the others have less luck as flames lick only the air.

Osric caught off guard from the heat and hungry flames doesn't drive his blade with as much precision as the last strike, only slicing at the face of the gobo which seems to make its grin even more vicious.

Better able to get in a stance, and concentrate on the foes at hand, Brimli's ax cleaves the burning tip of the torch leaving but a stub of wood. The battle ax is not slowed however as it continues on its path cleaving into the shoulder blade of the goblin, dropping the creature at his feet.

((End of round 3, 2 torch bearers remain. The villagers seem to have their fight in hand, with some working on dousing flames with dirt and blankets.))

Jasmine makes for a torch bearer, her axe leading, bloody. WIth a determined look on her face she attcaks one.

...brimli is going to kill the soon-to-be-ex-torch-bearers...

Heaving the mighty weapon in the name of Thor, Jasmine brings her ax down at one of the last remaining goblins. Her weapon however strikes only dirt and the impact jars the weapon from her hands.

With all the fury they can muster, the little fire wielding devils try desperately to catch flesh on fire. Their torches find only open air.

As they growl in frustration, Osric steps out of the way of the flames this time and find his swording sinking into the chest of the closest goblin. With one swift motion the goblin is allowed to slide off the blade hitting the floor.

With but one left and looking as if it has changed its ferocity into that of self preservation, Brimli swings the battle ax, cleaving the creature's torso from his legs and ending any self debate the goblin may have had of running away.

Looking about for any more of the creatures, you all can see the fires nearly taken care of, and a few guards and villagers having headed in your direction.

((End of round 4, and end of combat....))

Jasmine picks up her Axe and calms down , then goes to one knee, body bleeding(have 2 hp of 14). Looking around she makes sure the battle is over and the fire is taken care of. Then she very slowly and painfully gets up again speaking to the others "Is everyone ok? I think I hurt just a little" she says with a crooked grin on her face "but we prevailed, thanks be to Thor!!!!!!!".

brimli will go and get her some water! as an ex-slave the next thing he does is - check if the gobs had any useful or intersting stuff on them.


in the longer run perhaps we should try to find out where they came from!
