Chapter 1: Festival & Fire

Saldrina waits for the other goblins to appear.

Khel noticed that the traveller from Minkai took out the curved-looking sword and quickly dispatched the goblin's head from his body. He was surprised and intrigued by the fluid motion and the skill of the man. But the sound of more goblins coming from the south diverted his focus away from Mr. Li. He noticed the other goblin stealing food and pointed at it, sending a firebolt towards it.

OOC: Taking -1 to cast bolt. Rerolling the test because this is the school Khel is specialized in.

Wess will knock over the fruit cart, hoping the can use it as cover. He shouts to the rest of the people in the plaza that stayed to fight "More goblins on the way, brace yourselves!"

Chigaru scoops up his dog and passes her to a family who is heading into their house. "Keep her safe until this is over. Lock up the house." He will then take up a defensive position in the south to accept what little terrors may appear.

WIth the precise, long swing of Li's katana, goblin's head detaches from the rest of it's body, hits and bounce off the near wall, to finally roll towards east, in the direction of other goblin. Li face shows no emotion, staying almost expressionless. Bloody path on the ground, made by rolling head, leads his eyes at the other goblin, who happen to be missed by other combatant. And then - just as Li was about to run towards it - out of the sudden, the ugly being bursts into flames.

"Magic!" - Li concludes in his head, and looks around to see it's source.

"It's a man form Qadira! I was sure there is much more within him, than meets the eye!"

Li moved in haste towards the foreign wizard, to make a line of defense with him for the coming goblins, that could be heard from the south. Standing near, he makes a short nod towards him. As he would like to say:
"I think we will get along."- but no words leave Li's mouth.

Bennies: 4 | Pace: 6 | Parry: 2 | Toughness: 7 (2) | Power: 7

Saldrina uses elemental manipulation to summon a rainstorm to put out the fires.

"Let's see how well that weapon of yours bashes heads," Chigaru says to the halfling. Then he moves to the southwest, running behind the cart to surprise the warchanter from behind. Hopefully their short attention spans will make them forget him if they lose sight for a few moments.

Bennies: 4 | W: 0 | P: 7 | T: 8(2) | F: 0 | Rage: 1/5

As Grimwulf finally sees the goblin hoard approaching, his grip tightens on the maul and a look of rage lights up across his face. It had been too long since he felt true elation like this, in the throes of combat, and succumbed to the anger whole-heartedly.

Sprinting toward the group, he swings wildly at the first two goblins within his reach.

Overswinging the first goblin, he course corrects and smashes the second one's head into a pulp (yellow dot).

Khel turned to look at Mr. Li, the traveller from Minkai and smiled. "Greetings Mr. Li, I have to applaud your excellent swordsman skill. I haven't seen such a style in Qadira. We both have so much knowledge to share. I thank you for your assistance and I think Sandpoint needs your skill against these vile creatures causing ruckus." He looked at the man with an oversized hammer running after the group in the front.

"They are coming from two sides, I will get up on the stage to get a better vantage point and we can already see more able hands joining the fight. However, only one is moving towards the group that is close to Father Zantus and Mayor Deverin. I think they need our protection. Lets show them what we can do."

Khel climbed up on the stage and pointed towards the warchanter at the distance and shot a firebolt towards the goblin.

OOC: Khel will climb up the stairs and reach the end of the stage then target the blue warchanter. I will spend 1 power point for this. Rerolling because of evocation magic. Warchanter is probably history.

Normally Li is quite talkative person, but apparently in the heat of battle he becomes a 100 percent focused person. So he was completely focused on the two coming groups of goblins, constantly shifting his gaze from one group to the other, as he would be calculating something, while still listening what Khel was saying to him. He noted slightly on Khel plan and just said:
"Agreed, Mr Khal. It's good to have someone knowing his ways on the battlefield, at side." - before running - again with small but very balanced steps - towards the stage, then along its western edge(on the ground, hopefully providing him some cover from easter side in case goblins would have some range weapons) towards north, with clear intention to attack group near the burning cart, but throwing one of his shurikens at the goblin from the other.
