Concentrating on the centre of her being, Kasumi channels the energy of her mind into the matter of her body, causing it to grow, along with her equipment. She moves closer to the beach, eager to reposition herself to gain the most of her tactical reach, but not before the pack leader rips open her leg with a nasty bite, penetration her previously summoned white outer flesh and damaging the tissue below.<br/>The goblins seem not to understand Kasumi’s language and her gentle tone means nothing to them. Their number advantage however is understood across the language barrier and they decide to press their attack as more of their kin emerge to fortify their numbers.<br/>The attack is once again led by their pets as the smaller beast runs into position, numbly doging a blow from the martial artist’s fist. Indeed, the wolf seemed to be expecting just this and manages to bite the wrist. Its fangs cannot penetrate her unseen armour, but it does pull her off balance for the larger wolf’s charge. A swift kick connect with the creature’s left flank, but it does not stop him and she cannot avoid the fangs, once again becoming savaged by the predator’s jaws.<br/>The lower ranking goblins follow up; led by a slightly leaner more battle hardened looking one holding a scythe. He moves cautiously around Kasumi, grumbling about something. So focused he is on his own troubles that he fails to spot the looming fist until it is too late. There is a nasty crack as his chest bone is broken in multiple places. For a moment it looks like he will fall, the blow would have surely killed the average goblin, but then he continues, stepping into close quarters and raising his bladed weapon.<br/>The six lesser warriors follow their leader into battle. The martial artist tries to hit them but their small size proves problematic to her temporary larger form. Nevertheless she stamps down, brutally breaking one of the small creatures with her foot and even managing to damage the leg of the one standing adjacent. The small creatures attack in union, two managing to piece Kasumi defences, bashing their morning starts into her shin bone and foot.<br/>Three goblins remain a distance back. The first is an archer who calmly draws out his short bow, takes aim and fires. The arrow’s path is true, but it fails to pierce Kasumi’s two fold defences of force. The second is dressed in uncured animal hides and wields stick studded with teeth and coated in resin: a spell caster of some kind presumable as he begins to incant in his own guttural tongue, waving his weapon in a lazy circle. The last is dressed in a heavily oiled chain shirt, standing out considerable from the other goblins dressed in grubby leather. He leans on a lance, his eyes never straying from the bigger of the two wolves.<br/>Meanwhile, Vinny is saved from stumbling blindly through the bushes as Kasumi’s form rises up above them, giving him a clear destination to head towards. It is not too far, but if he wishes to approach undetected he may have to slow down, since despite being distracted by battle, his lack of stealth may give him away if he continues at his current pace.<br/><br/><br/>Kasumi<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">  You have taken 20 damage (15 from the worg’s two attack and 5 from the two goblin warriors)  putting you at 28.</div></div>
