[R2]
The powerful, sinewy monster throttling Pyros begins to draw his face closer; needle-sharp teeth dripping with saliva moving ever nearer. Stark terror in his eyes, Merrick blurts out a short but effective spell! Twin bolts fly from his fingers, one striking the creature attacking the kender and the other blasting the beast assaulting Adrestia square in the face and driving it motionless to the ground! The newly liberated Gypsy-woman lunges forward, stabbing her magical rapier deep into the monster strangling her newfound brother. The spike-like blade sinks deep into the Goblyn's flesh, only spurring it on more violently.
Choking out what must be some clever taunt, Pyros dangles from the iron grip of the hateful thing throttling him. Gurgling, he draws a pair of daggers and swings for his life. The first feints high and the other stabs low. The creature lowers his elbow, catching the second blow on the arm to minimal damage.
A sudden shrill shriek echoes down the stairs as yet another of the savages rushes to assault the group! With demonic glee the Goblyn dives almost acrobatically over its compatriot strangling Pytor to claw at Adrestia; slashing her face with filthy claws!
Cross turns, calling upon the forces of the Arcane to alter the fabric of reality and bring forth a spray of magical fire! The flames engulf enemies and allies alike; burning down the beast attacking Pytor and badly scorching the Dusky-hued fighter and her opponent! A pair of magical missiles streak from the back of the group, blasting Pyros' assailant in the side of the face!
A final Goblyn charges down the stairs, leaping a from the platform towards the redheaded bard! Bloodthirsty exuberance causes it to neglect the landing and crash to the hard-baked earth like a sack full of stones! Sparing but a glance for the failed attempt, Mira draws forth her own mystical power and fires a trio of bolts that obliterate the monster choking Pyros; sending him unceremoniously to the floor.
The gypsy-blacksmith, newly free from his assailant, buries his warhammer into the skull of the creature attacking his sister. A grotesque
crack issues forth from the Goblyn's head, but it staggers back against the wall still barely alive... Jerry rushes forward to strike the a the prone savage, but misjudges the distance.
Elsa finishes her prayer, raising her voice to a shout.
ENOUGH!!! A crackling white-hot flare of divine luminescence seizes the surviving Goblyns; paralyzing them with holy force! Artanis wastes no time, moving to the collapsed foe before the Mystaran. Planting one booted foot on the beast's shoulder blades he hacks it clean through the neck with the efficiency of a hunter putting wounded prey out of its misery. Growling in pain from new injuries, Adrestia pins the last remaining Goblyn to the wall with her magical rapier. With a wild look she turns to the stairs; wrenching her blade free of the exterminated beast. Long moments of silence accompany the desperate breathing of the survivors... As abruptly as it began, the short but brutal combat seems to end...
