The warrior had already been hurt, if not badly, and the rat was caught squarely in the midst of the projecting flames.  The rat hissed and the goblin screamed, and both of them collapsed to the ground.<br/><br/>The older goblin chose the better part of valor, and began to run away, but he was slower, being in heavier armor, even if he only had half of it on him just now.  And it should be noted that he was running somewhat slowly even when the armor was taken into effect;  he had arthritis.<br/><br/>(ooc:  I thought that I'd indicated earlier that the approaching goblin warrior would take only three rounds to arrive, but it's moot now.)
