Once again the bugbear is able to marshal enough forces, to dodge the blow.

Being about a head taller than the dwarf, rare for most halfings, Grim's size let's him get behind Wess and lift up his maul to try and knock the bugbear in the head.

With one mighty swing, the bugbear's skull caves in as Grim's maul impacts it.

The final foe is down, though you are certain the noise most likely would have alerted someone of your presence. At least if there's anyone in the nearby rooms, which Lyrie's intel suggests.

"Well," Saldrina says with a frown, "He's down. Excellent work, gang, though it would have been nice if we could have questioned him." Noticing Grim's expression, she quickly adds, "Nice, but not absolutely necessary."

Eyeing Saldrina with a mean look, "I know his type. And it's not one who answers questions. It's kill your enemy or fight to the death, no middle ground. You'd be wise to remember that. All of you." glancing over at Chigaru.

As the rage boils down to a simmer, the look softens. Pointing a thumb at the corpse, "Anything magical on him that we can use?"

"Sometimes taking a life is unavoidable. But know that every being sits at the center of their own web. And they cannot be removed without pulling at the strings of every strand in that web. Family, friends, allies, lovers. Some will want revenge."

Chigaru is uninterested in bloody loot and moves back out to the main hallway to watch for anything coming.

You are about to check the body when Chigaru comes out into the hallway just in time for the other southern door to smash open, revealing a goblin behind. It yelps in surprise at seeing Chigaru and strikes instinctually. Though it is a clumsy strike easily avoided. Behind it, Chigaru can pick up more goblins coming up the hallway, all of them looks to be one of Bruthazmus' wives.

"Intruder!" they start yelling.

You hear another voice, this one more humanoid, from the hallway out of view. "Run and fetch Nualia!"

Grim hurries over next to Chigaru, readying himself at the door's entrance opposite from Shalelu.

Seeing Saldrina's magic shake the creature but not bring it down, he swings his maul dead center at it.

Khel blew out a lung full of air as the bugbear was finally brought down by Grimwulf but before they could rest other goblins emerged and someone already went to notify their actual target. He sighed and said, "Well, so much for stealth. Let' hunker down and take these goblins out."

He pointed his staff and sent a frost bolt towards the incoming goblins. I am guessing 8 is raise?

Saldrina and Grimwulf is able to take down the first goblin when a new shape come from the hallway. He's a tall muscular man dressed in banded mail armor. He's wielding a bastard sword in one hand and a shield strapped to the other.

He charges forward and calls out. "For Nualia!" He makes two quick strikes against Grimwulf, both of them hitting. The first one shaking him, and the second hitting the halfling across the shoulder.

Then Shalelu shoots back at the newcomer, finally she has more luck then when she fought the bugbear and the arrow shakes the newcomer.

Then Khel hits another goblin with a frozen bolt. It hits it in the head, freezing it, and once the cold sets in it merely breaks off from the rest of the body like a grotesque popsicle.

OOC:

The newcomer has First Strike so he gets a free attack when moving into range. He hit both times, and with his AP the second strike does 2 Wounds. You could pay a bennie to unshake between the strikes, and it will just do 1 wound. You could also pay a bennie to soak. Or spend bennie for both so it is easier to soak.

Next up is Wess.
