The goblin raised its bow taking aim at her the moment she came out of her cover. She made it to the bridge's edge and on slowing down there, the goblin seemed to think she was easier prey. Her swift movement in time left the arrow barely grazing at her thigh however, landing a bit aside with a clang. It did leave a red cut in her upper thigh, but it was still better than a direct hit certainly.<br/><br/>Crossing the bridge she found the wooden boards creaky and the ropes tense but she made it across without any collapse, without the bridge giving out despite its creaking noises. She made it over in her hurry, the goblin's hands already raising a new arrow to the string when her sword's movement cut not only the arrow but the goblin's arm off in one loud slash. Shrieking the goblin tried to pull out the shortblade with its other hand looking at the bleeding stump and cussing at her, but her scimitar's last strike ended that. The goblin's shortsword clanging on the floor.<br/><br/>The victory was hers, the only living gobling being her wounded guide. The wounded goblin on the other side of the stream. Over that creaking bridge that looked like it was a miracle it held her weight once.<br/><br/>Before her there was that lone passage ahead to the dark.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Joli got a small cut from the last arrow shot, taking 1 damage from it. The small sized shortbow is simple but looks pretty good quality, not masterwork but it might sell in a pinch. Just that its small sized. The arrows likewise look pretty good, all 12 that are left of them at least. They dont look like goblin handiwork. The goblin blades, by comparison, are probably not worth the scrap they are made of.<br/><br/>Also, her everburning torch may have been dropped when she wanted her arms free for the fight, but figure she might have carried it over the stream for the fight to be lit, possibly just hanging off her clothes when she did so.</div></div>
