For a second, the mixed blood in Divia's veins turns to ice as she hears the evil cackle of a goblin behind her and hears the vile little monster's weapon bite through the air only to cut harmlessly through the material of one of the stalls.

Both combatants share a mutual look of disbelief before grabs the creature by its scrawny neck and begins bashing its face to bloody pulp.

OOC:
Divia, Full Action: Pummel -- 1d20+2=20, 3x(1d4+4=5)=15 subdual. +2 from last round's miss thanks to gruelling combatant, that's a total of 17, for a damage save of 18+4 (Harsh beating) for what I'm sure is an unbeatable total DC of 22.
Annie, 1st Action: Reposition (Prone)
Annie, 2nd Action: hold action

"Filthy little murderers," Argan spits, as he pulls out his sword before swinging it two-handed at the goblin to his left right, and then stepping back to a more defensive position.

EDIT: Apologies for changing after Eloise's action!  Should have just waited to post...

Paiter reaches the safety of his employer’s side only then does he turn and draw his trusty old cutlass. This done he waits for an opportunity. Should the goblins remain sensible enough to keep away from Weoxgyld he will yell at the top of his lungs “Javelin the one in the red hat!”

Weoxgyld desires only to strike down the reckless vermin as fast as he can. He readies an eight foot long javelin and throws at one of the goblins mobbing a large ruddy faced stranger

Eloise has no idea who he is, but the tall gentleman ahead of her is getting cut up quite badly. Cursing under her breath, she tries to catch of his attackers unaware.

As Haldar and the wolf efficiently dispatch the two goblins, the youthful warrior whips his spear around, the first goblin's blood flying from the blade in a glittering crimson arc.  He quickly takes stock of the situation and charges forward to engage the trio of goblins swarming around the bleeding warrior, screaming a battle cry at the top of his lungs, Volokkor running swiftly by his side.

OOC: Ok, results up to Teo's count.

Eloise moves behind Goblin 6, her feet following the carefully drilled footwork her sword master taught her. As she closes, her footwork changes up as ignores his warnings about flashy, dueling moves on  battlefield. Raising her falacta she spins, building momentum, her feet following the training imparted more by her dance master then her sword master. She brings the blade down in an arc, her sleeves and hair swirling out (and where the hell did those doves come from) as the falcata’s blade bites into the goblin’s shoulder and neck, all but cleaving him in two.

Haldar moves. Bringing his spear around in an circle, he strikes at the goblin, clipping the point off it’s ear. It screeches in pain and clutches the bloody nub.

Shlya draws he sword languidly and then slashes at the Goblin. As she swings though, her overconfidence makes her forget the basics and her grip loosens, the sword flying from her grasp, skitering across the cobbles to stop 20 feet away. The goblin looks at the sword, then at her, then at itself, and back to her before laughing at her like he was watching a clown show.

Volokkor catches up with his boss, still hacking and shaking his muzzle to try and clear the taste of the Goblin from it’s mouth.

Weoxgyld pulls a javalin (well, it’s more of a small tree trunk with a metal point attached) out, and flings it at Goblin 7. It goes wide though, smashing into the stall on Divia’s left.

Goblin Warrior 6 is dead. In pieces. By the courtier's hand.

Seeing the battle go well, Teo tumbles past Goblin 10 and works his way across the market to stand next to the wounded dog.

OOC: And the rest.

Teo runs across the square, spinning past Goblin 10 dodging it’s flailing dogslicer and comes to a skidding stop next to the stray. It’s whines are quiet now, barely audible above the fighting. It’s paw titches weakly as it looks plaintively up at Teo, eyes wide with pain and fear. The goblin cut it badly, across the chest and neck.

Goblin Warrior 10 turns screams in frustration and stabs at Alden, it’s attacks occasionaly slipping past his defense to land on his mail covered chest.

(click to show/hide)

Goblin Warrior 1 laughs and he ans Goblin 3 swarm Shyla, but can’t touch her as she dodges and dances around their attacks.

(click to show/hide)

Divia sneers as she snatches Goblin 8 up by it’s scrawny little neck and viciously backhands it. There’s a loud crack and she can feel it’s cheekbones and jaw break, it’s teeth flying. The little freak goes limp in her grasp, it’s eyes rolling back of it’s head. Some little voice inside her purrs at her anger and brutality.

Argan sword connects with Goblin 7, cutting into it and sending it’s mostly bisected corpse flying away from him and Eloise.

(click to show/hide)

Goblin Warrior 7 gurgles and is dead.

Annie drops to prone and waits for Divia to tell her it’s safe.

Goblin Warrior 8 is ever so lightly concussed. No, let me try that again. It’s comatose.

Goblin Warrior 3 swarms Shyla with Goblin 1, their attacks finally starting to take effort on her part to defend against.

(click to show/hide)

Alden sidesteps Goblin 10’s last attack and counters, bringing his sword up the and executing a perfect riposte, his sword finding the goblin’s heart, killing it instantly. After freeing his blade he moves up support Teo.

(click to show/hide)

Paiter calls out, shouting at Weox to direct his javelin at Goblin 5 gesturing broadly. The goblin ignores his attempts, to Paiter’s chagrin.

(click to show/hide)

Goblin Warrior 5 attacks Argan, slipping past his guard and slashing his leg open, giggling and repeating the goblin’s song, licking the blood from it’s knife.

Shyla snarls in frustration as her sword flies from her grip. The swipes of the goblin's crude swords coming closer than she'd like. She lets loose with a hard punch towards the goblin in font of her. She then recovers quickly and brings her arm high then slams her elbow down hard at the goblin behind her, the bone spike on her elbow puncturing through the material of her coat.

While momentarily disgusted at the idea that she's  just killed a sentient creature, Eloise is strangely exhilarated and lets the dance and adrenaline carry her on.

Teo bends down to tend to the wounded dog. He quickly assesses the situation and treats the dogs wounds, making a best guess from what he knows of medicine.

His blood mingled with that of the goblins on his now torn clothing, both Argan and his illusory representation are beginning to show the strain.
