[TristenC]

Jordek turns and rushes towards the riderless Worg that is attacking the minotaur, stabbing deeply into the unsuspecting foe's flank! Boiling with righteous rage, Nocturno follows the Gnome. In a fury he slashes along the side of the massive canine, laying it's hide open from shoulder to hip! The beast lets out a horrendous growling whine, only barely keeping its feet. Bullock slashes at the other Worg circling him, cutting a wide swath across its back and nearly killing it outright!

Meanwhile, Findalsip prays for holy might as the other wolf-kin charge the archers. Dillosel manages to get a shot off before the Worg closes, evading the slavering jaws. Katten unfortunately is interrupted before she can fire, suffering a harsh bite. Dellinanth drops his bow at the sight of the mounted Worg barreling towards him. He raises his guard just in time to evade gnashing teeth! The goblin rider urges his mount to one side, catching the elf in the shoulder with his spear. The wild elf gives better than he gets by plunging his own spear deep into the body of the Worg. A glancing Drow arrow cuts the goblin as he wheels about, preparing to strike again.

[TristenC]

Jordek launches himself again at the back of the next worg, stabbing furiously as the creature goes down. The goblin rider manages to throw himself clear, and continues to threaten the minotaur. Bullock responds by swatting the small green humanoid with the massive sword, leaving little more than a scrap of hide armor and a red mist.

Worgs continue to attack the wild elves; leaving the newly restored Dillosel and her brother badly injured and near death! Katten draws her longsword, but the evil canine grabs her arm in its drooling jaws and shakes until she drops the blade nearby.

Findalsip tags the worg attacking Dellinanth in the side of the head, staggering it. Linar picks off the last goblin rider with a well placed shot.

Rather than reclaim her weapon straight away, the Cat woman draws the handaxe that sat at her belt, less ideal for such large foes she swings the blade, weaving a defensive pattern trying to get to Dillosel, screaming at the top of her lungs as she rushes forward!
