Spoiler14 damage - 6 = 8 damage. 5 in pool, take 3 immediately, , currently at 2.
Magnus calls on the magic in his belt to mend his wounds, keeping the goblin's attention as best as able.
SpoilerLast charge of healing belt: (2d8)[5] healed. Then take 5.

Re: Madness, Blood and Thunder in Ravens Bluff IC
Mirielle still manages to restrain the psion, and the remaining goblin catches a bolt to the leg, but keeps fighting tooth and nail against the enemies surrounding him. At this moment, three orcs emerge from the stairwell - if it can be called that; should the downward path not be natural happenstance all signs of it have faded by now.
These orcs though look not like the kind you are familiar with. Their skins is grey, and their features are less savage. With their long flowing manes and impressive ornate armor they even almost look regal - long as one uses the common orc as baseline at least. They move with noticable speed despite their plate and each one carries a massive, unusual weapon - one a long poleaxe, another tower shield and bastard sword and the final one a massive double sword.

Re: Madness, Blood and Thunder in Ravens Bluff IC
Turning her head to glance at the well-dressed newcomers, Aya grins cheerfully at them. "Hi there! Sorry to intrude, but we had a business matter to take care of. You'll understand, I'm sure."
Swiping downward along the back of the goblin's neck as it turns to strike at Magnus, Aya twists away from the fight and turns to face the entrance, blade held in a low guard.

Keeva
Keeva looks towards the newcomers, and backs away, taking out one of the vials that Mirielle handed her. Coughing, she switches dialects. (Orcish) "Well howdy there! We really are sorry to be intrudin' in your home, but there was some talk about these goblins that I don't think any of us would like. Nasty stuff. Really had to stop. That bein' the case, could we try and sort out the rest of this mess with some pleasant talk, instead of the possibility where our groups try and kill one another?"

Re: Madness, Blood and Thunder in Ravens Bluff IC
The psion's power fizzles, and the last goblin is cleanly beheaded by Aya after Magnus crushes his arm. The orcs give the carnage a short glance, but they only pause a second in front of the door, wary for any attacks or spells thrown their way, then they move off with long, fast steps towards the exit of the cave.

"Whew. Been a while since I used this blade for anything other than exercise." Strolling over to the struggling goblin, Aya levels the sword at his back, waiting for the instant where he turns his focus inward - that part, at least, was no different from hunting a mage.
"Still, it's as sharp as ever. Any requests for bits I should cut off, Mirielle?"

Re: Madness, Blood and Thunder in Ravens Bluff IC
Absolutely sickening. How could a little goblin reduce him to stark terror like that? He turned back. Those goblins would get theirs. After his flight ended, the all too familiar exhaustion had set in, sapping his strength. Still, he was determined to get back to his allies. Cursing his lack of a light source, Jorran attempted to instead smell and hear the presence of the goblins and his teammates as he ran back towards the fray.
SpoilerMoving as fast as terrain and lighting allows back towards the battle. Activating Hunter's Sense as a Swift action. Also Listen Check in case Jorran is confused about directions. A battle shouldn't be very hard to miss.

SpoilerYou return to the cave as fast as you can; when you're at the entrance, you hear the distinctive sound metal armor makes when the wearer moves fast coming from the darkness ahead. Soon after, you pick up their scent too; it's definitely not your comrades, but not goblins either. Three shapes are suddenly set apart from the black interior of the cave, a mere ten feet away from you.

Re: Madness, Blood and Thunder in Ravens Bluff IC
"Miri?" What precisely was that? Sheathing her bow, Aya bends down to examine Mirielle, before glancing up at the blue. "Fine, if leaving's all you're doing and you're doing it quietly, then take the rest of your tribe and get out. But I'll say the same to you that I said to them: If you try anything like this again, it had better be far enough from here that we never hear about it. You won't have the advantage of surprise next time."

The Cavern Adventures of Jorran Tolm
SpoilerJorran does a quick assessment of the situation. From the scent, they weren't goblins, but they weren't his comrades either. He had memorized their scents already. Jorran wasn't in the best of shapes to fight and given the speed this group was moving at, even in armor, it was a fair bet they could see in the dark. He knew little about them and he was outnumbered three to one. Best not provoke them unless they intended to attack him.
Keeping his sword at the ready but without raising it, Jorran speaks. "I don't know who you are, but you're clearly not goblins. If you don't have quarrel with me, I have no quarrel with you. Let us pass without incident."

Magnus drops his hammer and approaches the blue goblin. "I thought I told you... I gave you a chance to spare your wretched life. And I promised your death this day. I will execute that promise, or die trying. I am not one to listen to creatures beg for their life, but even that would be preferable to the pathetic threats of a reprehensible fool too stupid to understand that I WILL NOT BE EXTORTED WITH THE LIVES OF OTHERS!"

SpoilerYour call remains unanswered and they simply move past you without slowing down. If you were able to fully see they'd have given you an opening, though you can't tell whether they trusted you not to take the swing, trusted their ability to take it or were aware of your visual impairment. When they brush by you so close their cloaks are billowing against your body your manage to get a short glimpse at their faces; orcs, you finally realize when the darkness outside has already swallowed them again.
