This time, the goblin is better prepared for your assault, and dances away from your combo, cackling madly. Rather than discarding his broken spear, he charges in again, working in tandem with his companion in attempt to stab you with the jagged spike of wood. He's not too prepared for the loss of reach, though, and his first stab falls well short of where he thought it would.<br/><br/>His companion continues to thrust wildly at you with his spear, and this time one of his frenzied jabs connects. Pain shoots through you as the jagged scrap of metal scores a shallow gash beneath your ribs (-2 HP).
