(Picking up where we left off)

With both of the goblins swiftly dispatched by Expellix, it appeared that the group had avoided alerting anyone to their presence. However, the goblin on the roof lurched over frontwards as the axe split its skull apart... and it tumbled right off the roof. A commotion could be heard from the other side, before three creatures rounded the corner. They looked like ponies, but had much more angular faces and dark red fur. These were hobgoblins. A twisted and evil pony race, but also ones who were extremely disciplined in military strategies and trained from birth to fight.

Hobgoblins cared for nothing but the chance to test themselves in battle, and even welcomed death; believing the afterlife would be one endless fight that they could join in.

They were dangerous.

(^That thing but ponified.)

Two of the hobgoblins raced towards Leper, one wearing no armor and wielding no weapons at all, while the other wielded a beautiful glowing longsword and shield, and wore elaborate full plate armor. The first hobgoblin unleashed a flurry of kicks and punches at the barbarian, while the second one seemed to shout something in their own language that spurred the others on.

The third hobgoblin stared right at Expellix, and fired a missile of acid at him!

  Arc looked around as the battle began, playing back in his mind how it came to this. He debated with himself over whether or not to jump out and aid them, or to sit back and maintain strategic stealth. After some debating, he decided the point of stealth was lost anyway, no use keeping it up. With that, Arc launched his attack, shooting a simple arcane blast at the Iron Shadow to test the waters.

  As the corpse of the Iron Shadow fell, Arc grinned and brushed his shoulders. "Still got it," he murmured.

"Looks like we're fighting the whole village now," grumbled Starlight, as she stepped out besides Trixie, and fired a spell at the less imposing of the two, hopefully bringing their enemy number down much more quickly. The spell exploded on contact, sending rogue beams of crackling arcane energy right into the big guy's chest. She turned to Trixie. "Don't worry. Between the two of us, we hit two of them," she cheekily teased.

Expellix was happy about being able to take out the goblins in a relatively quick manner... until the one toppled over. "Oh come on..." He groaned, pretty much watching it as it slow-motion fell to the ground. There goes their stealthy approach...

More goons came out of the stupid house in the stupid village and these ones were hobgoblins. They were goblins but worse, that's just fantastic. He didn't like the little green bastards already and they were just even uglier than before. Seeing as their cover was blown anyway, he held out his paws and the axes pulled free of the corpses, flying over into his hands. Time for wave two.

An acid arrow came his way and nailed him, And Trixie hit Leper. Great. "Dear Luna, Trixie, focus!" He berated sharply, before darkness suddenly flared up from him and he appeared to be made of pure darkness, only just in the shape of his body.

Shadowform - 4 Spell PointsRoll: 1d4+2 — 5 (3+2)

Instead of taking the chance to make the same mistake as Trixie did and hit Leper, he charged in himself and attacked the Hobgoblin Warlord with his axes.

Leper was a bit surprised when even more of the little things showed up. Scratch that, ponies... Or what appeared Pony in nature, but had been twisted by some strange fel magic. She'd look at them, and start to read herself for combat, but was taken aback when they rushed her, attacking her quickly.

She was thankful that Avedon wasn't completely useless in combat, and had stopped her from taking some of the damage, and would retaliate against the enemy. Or, she'd started too, when she felt a magical bolt slam into her back, singeing her skin and burning the fur. She'd glare back, staring at Trixie, before swinging with sword, having looked back to the things attacking.

Action Used: All or Nothing! against Hobgoblin Warlord!
Hit Roll: 29 (17+12+2(To Victory bonus)
Damage: 31! (5+7+15+4(To Victory bonus)

Leper would swing around, her Greatsword cleaving through some of the creature's flesh, even though he wore plate, before stumbling back, using her sword to balance herself. She'd look at Expellix, and give him a thankful nod, glad he joined the fray to help out, and not hit him in the back, unlike some allies.

Needless to say, the group pretty much cleaved their way through these hobgoblins. It didn't take long at all before the Warlord and Iron Shadow were dead on the ground, and the Devastator just dropped its weapon, held its hands up, and began slowly backing up towards the forest so that it could run away. They weren't dumb creatures, they knew when they were beat. He only hoped this group had enough honor to let a defeated opponent flee!

Trixie didn't care either way. Her concern wasn't the fleeing hobgoblin, it was the party who was rather beat up. Specifically Leper. "Sorry, Leper! Sorry! Sometimes I have bad aim." She muttered before letting out a wave of healing magic from her horn, which energized the group and helped their wounds close.

All players regain 21 hit points.

Whether the party decided to slay the hobgoblin or not was their moral decision. Either way it seemed like the rest of the town had somehow not noticed them, and they were free to try and enter the house or scout ahead!

Leper would watch the hobgoblin, backing away, before looking to the house, then to Expellix, "Kill it, they are a foul creature, and live on suffering of other. I will check the house." She'd say simply, shrugging, before taking a step forward, then paused, "Actually... Let us scout the town quickly, maybe find ponies that need help? Worry about the house later." She'd say, nodding slowly, before looking ahead, going a little bit up the road, looking around.

She wasn't really in the mood to deal with anything else coming out of no where, so she figured that scouting out the town would be smart, and the death of that hobgoblin would help against enemies coming back.

Expellix raised his weapon as if to throw it at the hobgoblin, but... instead just let them evaporate into the air back to their pocket dimension. Instead, his paws glowed with shadow energy and fired directly into their back. There was zero intent in taking any chances here while they were in the middle of enemy territory... the hobgoblin was probably circling back to warn the rest of the town.

To-hit: 31 (20+11) CRITICAL HIT

And that was very much a dead goblin. Expellix shook his head, his shadowform dissipating afterwards. "Not letting them run to warn their friends." He grunted, glancing at the others. "Sparing a monster is asking for trouble. Just don't. You guys can go check out the house and I can snoop around the town. Sound good?"

  Arc raised his hooves to cast a spell and kill the hobgoblin, but was beaten to the punch by Expellix. Arc blinked a few times before nodding. "Good, I was hoping you all wouldn't be feeling merciful. Anywho..." He looked between Expellix and the house. "I'm alright with that, as long as you have some way to signal us if something goes awry. Not that I don't trust you or anything, but I don't think it's smart for any one of us to go in there alone without a backup plan."

"Trixie. You should go to the house. If it's safe, I think you should rest. You look exhausted. Not gonna lie, I'm starting to get worried about you."

Kissing her marefriend on the cheek, she then approached Expellix. "You shouldn't go out there on your own. It might be dangerous. You could get ambushed and cut off. I'm feeling pretty fresh. I'll watch your back. Alright?"

Trixie winced a bit when Expellix straight up executed the hobgoblin, but wasn't overly bothered. While it was true that Trixie was trying to be a better pony, she was still just a necromancer at heart. Her wince was less about feeling bad and more at the fact that she expected to care and just... didn't. When Expellix offered to go check out the town, Trixie nodded a moment and said, "Just wait a few seconds for me to get some energy, and I'll heal you up."

After a few seconds Trixie got some magical power back, and immediately used it to heal Expellix. He will now be maximum hit points. And the spell system needs a nerf.

"And, uh... sorry for hitting you in the back of the head. If it makes you feel any better, I'll hit Starlight next time." Trixie apologized with a smile at Leper.

  "So, uh..." Trixie looked at the window of the house, and back at the other ponies beside her. "... We probably should not go in there. The last thing we need is for Expellix to get into trouble while we are already engaged with an enemy that might be hiding in the house. But if you guys think we should go in, let's go."
  
• 
  As Expellix climbed to a better viewpoint, his keen eyesight would allow him to easily discern key locations of the town. Overall the town looked like an uncared for dump. There were quite a few goblins and trolls wandering around; nothing overly dangerous. At the moment they couldn't see him.

Expellix shook his head. "No way, Starlight, you'll just get in the way and get us both caught, no offense. Stay here at the house where it is safe and keep your guard up." At being healed, he gave a thankful nod to Trixie. "Thank you. I'll be back as soon as I can."

Expellix turned and looked up the side of the house, crouching down low on all fours, he jumped straight up and just barely shot over the edge of the roof, landing on it silently. On there, he kept a low profile by staying as close to the roof as possible, lying flat on it and observing the town. A tavern, blacksmith, and a potions shop... might as well check out the latter two first. There could be something useful.

Between them, he decided to head for the closest one first—the blacksmith shop. He hopped down from the roof, still quiet, and began making his way towards it.

Starlight nodded, seeing the rabbit's logic, and let him go, though keeping an eye on him until he dissapeared from view. She then turned back to Trixie and the others. "If they didn't notice us after that last fight, they shouldn't notice a fight in this houise unless we let them escape and raise the alarm. I say some of us rush in and try and kill them as fast as possible, and the rest of us watch the exits and make sure nobody gets out."

Leper would look to the house, looking at the windows, a bit annoyed with the house. It housed enemies that would attack her, probably. She'd mull it over, before looking at Trixie, raising a brow, "What?" She'd ask, before realising she was apologizing. She'd stare at her, her eyes bloodshot and seeming tired. Actually, that could spark a weird conversation, like how Leper managed to sleep...

"I'll go in." She'd say, before looking at the door, going upto it. She'd knock once, before shoving the door open, stepping in, sword at the ready.

He wasn't terribly fond of all this skulking around hiding from basic goblins when they were aiming to kill an ancient dragon-lord, so he moved in after Leper and let the others form their own plans and hold the rear if they wanted

House
As the group entered the house, they would find opposition! There was several goblins all running towards them, and one troll that seemed to be lumbering up to his feet. It seems like shoving the door open had awoken the large creature... or rather, the goblins all screaming had awoken him. It didn't look like he was going to be ready to fight right this second, so if they could finish the goblins then the troll would fall easily!

Luckily goblins were pathetic. Although they could be dangerous in a pack.

10 goblins were in this house, and it took no time at all for the ten goblins to swarm the group as they came in! Luckily Leper and Avedon were in front, so they got the most hits! 4 goblins came Avedon and 3 after Leper, while 2 goblins came after Starlight and 1 came after Trixie!

• Goblin Attacks on Avedon
• Goblin Attacks on Leper
• Goblin Attacks on Starlight
• Goblin Attacks on Trixie

• 
  The goblins couldn't even come close to hitting Avedon, who barely even had to move. His permanent displacement pretty much ensured that these small, stupid creatures couldn't lay a finger on him! Which opened them right up to a counter attack.
  
• 
  The three goblins on Leper weren't having much luck, although one did manage to cut her leg a bit! The small and disgusting little foal-sized things were rather nasty and although their attack didn't hurt Leper much, they still cackled with glee!
  
  Hit: 22

  Starlight proved a much easier target than either of the two warriors, but even still they had trouble hitting her. One of the little things did manage to slice into her side with a rusty dagger, but it was an artificial wound at best.
  
  Hit: 19
  Damage: 7
  
• 
  The one fighting Trixie couldn't manage to hit her, and was promptly obliterated in a blast of necrotic magic.
  

It was at that point that the troll in the room let out an awful roar...

Town
Expellix would hear the roar from his current position, and would notice a large group of enemies all swarming towards the house. It looked to mostly be all trolls, which should be easily dealt with. On the plus side, this cleared out most of town! They could probably clear the whole town if they went about this properly and were in a defensible position.

Avedon waded through the goblin swarm, cloak catching their blades and a simple flourish sent them stumbling back, grabbing the more brazen goblins that got onto him and throwing them into their kind, letting them fall over in heaps. He didn't spare them even a single glance as he walked past their blades and drew his own only at the sight of the troll. With a single flap of his wings he darted over the goblin ranks directly towards the Troll.

His blade alight with dark-flames that gave no heat, but the bitter cold of the stellar void, no light but the consuming shadow that had stained the moon's surface for the last thousand years: the wrath and madness of Luna. It was the last thing the Troll would see as Avedon's blade swiped across it's eyes, blinding the beast that reared up for it's face with one hand, clawing the air blindly with the other. He ducked under, landing on the floor as he brought his bastard-sword in an arc across the Troll's legs, slicing it's knee cleanly in half as it fell forward on it's stump of a knee that already bubbled with its cursed blood to begin to regenerate. Avedon leaped back from the brute's body as it began to tumble forward and riposted with the full length of his sword, hilting it deep into the troll's body as it hunched over. It's hollowed eye-sockets stared blankly ahead, smelling him, roaring in pain with the bat-ponies sword pulled away form his grip into it's chest. Trolls did not know defeat, did not know death....did not know the strange bitter smell of gunpowder as he reached in with his now freed hand to pull out his revolved and aim it pointy-blank into the beast's mouth. The shadows of the room bled and darted into the barrel of his gun as he empowered a cursed bullet that shot directly into the Troll's skull. It burned black and purple and deepest azur as flames poured out of every orifice in the Troll's skull and a massive crater added to it behind. It fell over, the flames tearing through it's body and eating it away into the shadows.

Avedon spun and grabbed the strongest of the goblins that had thought to take advantage of him in his duel with their champion. He held it up by the head, the wriggling creature swinging with it's tiny blade missing his torso before Avedon twisted it's head and made it drop it in agony. He brought the goblin tio his mouth and in a single bite tore out it's throat, the vermin instantly going still as he let it's body fall to the floor and he eyes the other goblins, fangs slick with sour greenskin blood

“One...two...three...how about...the one of you three that kills the other two, I'll let walk out of this house alive? Spares me the trouble.”
Of course there were other's waiting outside to deal with the straggler, but, really, that wasn't something he promised there wouldn't be.

Expellix's ears perked up, swiveling back in the direction of the house when he heard the roar. It was extremely loud for him, considering how godlike his hearing was, which meant that the entire town could also hear that. Which meant that the rest of the group still had no fucking clue what stealth was. Luna damn these ponies!

Sighing, he looked forlornly back at the blacksmith before turning around and quickly making his way back to the house, easily outpacing the trolls and other assorted creatures by running on all fours. Rabbits were fast, yo.

Seeing as the front door was open, he took a detour and went around the house and broke the window at the back of it with a rock, jumping up and carefully climbing through, wasting no time in making his way down to the fighting. Time to see what kind of shit they got themselves into this time... which was being swarmed by goblins and a troll. Cool! He took the sneaky route and creeped up behind the troll there and hefted his axes. This was gonna hurt.

That poor troll had hell unleashed on its back. "You KNOW, it would be very HELPFUL if you didn't bring THE WHOLE TOWN DOWN ON YOURSELVES AS SOON AS I LEFT!" Expellix yelled, glaring daggers at the rest of his party. "I hope you're all ready for an army of trolls!"

Starlight was taken by surprise when they woke a troll up, and it roared. "Trust our luck that there was a roll in here!" Starlight cursed, as she charged into the room, getting herself into a good position, before unleashing a barrage of Arcane Missiles at the two goblins who had seen her.

With the room cleared, now all they had to worry about was...the rest of the town. Starlight looked out of the window to see how bad it was.

Leper wasn't expecting a troll, to say the least, and when she was suddenly attacked, she'd recoil away from the hideous little freaks, before they'd pile on her, making her feel extremely tense. She felt something cut against her leg, and would growl, before attacking.

Leper would come to a stop, a bit dizzy as she looked around, shaking her head, "Sorry... Didn't expect that." She'd say, groaning a bit. She'd look at Expellix, and lower and head, "Forgive me, It was my fault, I woke the Troll." She'd say, not wanting the party to take the entire blame. She'd then look at said troll, which was super dead, and chuckle. Better luck next time.

The goblins died before they even knew what was happening, and the troll didn't fair much better. None of the attacks against it were lethal... until Expellix's damned axe bit into its flesh. The giant gnarly looking pony caught fire and quickly fell over, turning into a pile of dust. Trixie breathed out a sigh of relief, only to flinch when Expellix started yelling at the group.

"... You have a point, but none of us are overly stealthy." She said a bit, before quickly checking everypony over and inspecting their wounds. She didn't have long to do this considering the growls of trolls were getting closer. She noticed that Leper was still the most hurt, but shrugged a bit. "... You look fine, so let me regain some magic before I heal you. We might need it." She said a little apologetically, before poking her head out the window.

Trixie quickly recoiled her head as a javelin pierced the wall beside her and stuck there harmlessly. "... So, the trolls are here. Really weird looking trolls." She said, before stepping away from the door and taking her position in the middle of the band of heroes. "... And one really big one..." she whispered, actually sounding a little scared of that. She was scared, because this monstrous troll had stomped another 4 trolls to death on its way to the house.

A few moments later, the entire front of the house was caved in as a massive three headed troll smashed its way in! This thing was nearly 12 feet high and had 6 arms, each ending in 4 inch long claws. It stomped right up to the group, and slashed out in a whirlwind of claws at all of them!

Each character must make a DC19 Dexterity Check or take 57 damage, or half as much on a successful save.

As evasive as Trixie tried to be, she couldn't help getting her fur mangled by this creature. Its claws dug deeply into her flesh and she let out a cry as blood began to soak her coat... again...

In behind the massive troll came two others, one of whom looked like it was rotting to death and the other which was just a regular troll. It looks like they might have killed all the other trolls on the way here... or at least made them back off. Specifically the big one made the others back off.

The rotting troll came towards the group, and immediately attacked Leper, because she sort of looked like a smaller version of himself! Even as it bit and swiped at Leper, it's disgusting body rotted and hurt those closest to her... it might be best to spread out.

Everyone takes 5 necrotic damage. Anyone attacking the rot troll will continue taking damage.

While the rot troll was busy with leper, the regular troll jumped on Avedon who looked just like those bat ponies who had put up such a feeble fight! Except that the troll was surprised to find... he couldn't lay a finger on anyone.

Expellix just kind of shook his head when the troll fell. He really shouldn't start yelling at them like this, especially not now. They had more important things to worry about than for him to start putting everybody down. He really couldn't expect them all to be quite as good at getting around undetected as he was. They haven't been doing it for even a fraction of the time!

"No, I'm sorry, I'm just... frustrated." He wisely chose to steer clear of the front of the building, sticking back. He could feel the tremors in the earth all around. "I shouldn't be—look out!"

Evasion: Beginning at level 9, you have learned how to dodge effects that should be nearly impossible to dodge. When an AoE attack calls for a Dexterity Ability Check and you succeed on the check, you take no damage instead of half damage.

Since he could feel the tremors in the earth, Expellix could clearly feel one of the trolls lumbering in and breaking through before it had reached them, which allowed him to prepare for the sudden attack on all of them. As the troll burst forth, claws wildly swinging, the rabbit's eyes narrowed and he watched intently. The beast couldn't lay a single attack on the rabbit. He ducked and weaved, moving fluidly between each swing as if he was made of water, unbidden, before flowing back out of reach and disengaging briefly when the attack was over.

The rot troll coming forth made him jerk backwards, shaking his head, his flesh beginning to darken slightly more. Oh great, he didn't need to rot any further than he has already. Seeing how this guy was already making a mess of the place, he went for it, raising both axes and slashing at rot troll.

Avedon was quick to react to the Trolls breaking through the wall, though not quick enough as the mass of flailing limbs on legs that was the Dire Troll scooped him up with an upperswipe that tore into his side only to smack him back into a wall like a foal's plaything. He felt something definitely crack in his ribs only to near instantly be put back into place by Trixie's magic. it was both a painful and uncomfortable thing to have something be healed even as it was broken but he staggered to his feet. He quickly glanced through the enemies, not even sure WHAT the hell that undead Troll was and he'd love to take it for the group but there was little room to maneuver here, luckily a tiny ball of angry rabies leaped out of fucking nowhere to tear it half-way to pieces...maybe a little over than hal. Instead he looked to Leper, needing to work with her to keep these Trolls contained and from brute-forcing their way to their more fragile allies.

"Come on Leper, you're not going down because a bunch of Trolls. Push them together with me, let the casters do their things, I'll be right there alongside you!"

Avedon wings flared out and an unnatural darkness bellowed out from him and his cloak like clouds, covering the field in an startless, moonless night only he and the party could see clearly through, he advanced forward gold eyes mirrored from every direction in the dark, umbral magic lashing out at the Trolls both body and mind as phantom Avedon's plagued their heads and made them see enemies and terror everywhere.

Starlight also took a nasty swipe from the troll, but seeing the already battle-worn Trixie get hit bad but continue to heal the group, stirred her emotions. Starlight was seeing red, as she looked towards the trolls. Her horn started to crackle red as she prepared her best spell. It was a spell that had allowed her to fight evenly with a Lesser Alicorn in her now friend and mentor Twilight Sparkle. When it was ready, she unleashed her Arcane Explosion.

Seeing that they were still standing, or at least two of them were, Starlight wasn't finished, and used the residual emotional magic energy from her last attack to cast another spell; Arcane Missiles.
