With delays, players on holidays and other small problems, the adventure can sometimes seem a little slow.. especially that we're playing only once a week, for only 2-3 hours. The story needs to be broken into much smaller chunks, and when the group needs to go shopping or rest, or any number of smaller events, it usually chews up the entire game session..
As a Catch-up, we played an extra session, leveled up characters, organised encumberance, and checked the goblins for treasure.
But, when the scene is set, it plays out so nice..
-----------------------------------------------------
Battered, Bruised, Bleeding, Drained and almost powerless. The heroes started to leave for the castle.. yet, scady noticed, that they could hear a slight screaming, a young, panicked screams of fear, coming their way..
Ospy Burst from the bushes, 'f**k, f**kity, Argghh ..." behind him, a stream of goblins, crazed women and children, were giving chase..
"Here we go again," called out sir Draco, and helped the others back into tree...
Ospy ran towards the group, small bursts of magic licking his fingers, not his,. but some other kind of force, as he reached the group, Amarta reached out her hand to help him up.. and she promptly dissapeared..
Ospy still in shock, failed to notice and jumped up from Sir Dracos helping hand into the Tree, but Scady and Harvey had noticed...
The Goblin mass, a full 30 or so, streamed in from many angles, the surrounded Sir Draco, kicking, Screaming, biting, diggin their fingers in where they could.. He struggled with them, bashing in skulls, slicing at them with his two swords. Harvey and Scady struck at them from above, breaking bones and skulls. Sir Draco, attempted something crazy, He started swinging himself around in circles, slicing and dicing into the goblin mess, It was horrific, parts of goblins flew off in different directions, then CLANG, stopped short as he embedded his blades into the tree behind him.
The goblins took full advantage, they pounced upon him, battering him, biting him, bringing him down, He struck out at them, a few more dead. but this was nothing as to what was growing behind him, a seething ball of motherly anger.. One of the Goblin women, seeing her bretheren fall, and her children crushed, she began to froth more heavily at the mouth, her eyes, blood red, and she started striking out at the knight. Raining blows upon blows down on him, Only pure chance and heavy armour saved him from being torn into a bloody mess. but the fight was not going well.
Ospy and scardy decided to drop down into battle, Harvey caught Sir draco's attention and threw down a bottle of healing, but nibble goblin fingers grabbed it from the air, and it was tossed to the mother goblin.. She caught it, and unthinkingly.. drank the brew.
'light started to form in the mind of the gobliness, small twinkles of power, opened small concepts long asleep within her, and the power reserves of a goblin witch broke open, she began to understand, she felt the surge of magic, she seethed with rage, but understood the need to back down"
The Goblin Woman, Glancing around, screamed at the goblin-kin, "back off" in goblin toungue..
The heroes, unsure what was happening, stayed back to see what was transpiring..
Taking advantage of the confusion, the goblin women screamed in now knowing Elleslandic language, "I will seek my revenge", and with that, they quickly retreated into the undergrowth. Scady and Opsy attempted to peg them with a shot or two, but to no avail, they had gone.
They all turned to Opsy.. "what the in the name of Gurlak was that? and how, by trolls blood, did you get here so fast.. and .. AND.. WHERE in the halls of Volgurdan did Amarta go???"
