You know they burn with an internal fire and are driven by unending hunger rather than any real loyalty that causes them to seek out weak and easy meals... though in the heat of battle and this fact fresh in your mind you are unable to recall anything else about them at present</div></div><br/><hr/><br/>The burly Hobgoblin lets out a growl as Aubry's arrows both find their way into his flesh with the third finding its home inside the Hound, though the stalk quickly catches fire as it does so. He quickly turns to snarl out an order in the goblin tongue to his companion who in turn recoils before starting an incantation and timidly laying his hand upon the other's muscular sword arm as he uses his free hand to break the arrows, heads still deep in his flesh. It almost mirrored the way Lilian rested her hand upon Aubry in its actions, the noble warrior cleric laying her blessings upon her ally while a meek underling heals damage done to its master.<strong>"A weak attempt as always, Zarr," </strong>he growls as you can see that much of the damage inflicted by Aubry remained despite ministrations.<br/>Whether through the commands of Aubry or the emergence of the Hellhound, Betsy retreats into her shell. Kanuna does likewise, he's not being paid enough for this.<br/><br/>Seeing their chance to attack the occupants of the carriage, the pair of Bards Mead and Excellence, the pair of archers take aim and let loose their arrows on one soft target each. Their four sword-and-board-wielding allies meanwhile make their way round the vehicle, two on either side, to attempt to engage with the members of the group outside the carriage and currently not perched on top of the shell of a massive tortoise or on the driver's section of the carriage and is subsequently that little bit harder to reach without retaliation. They also appear to be trying to avoid the centaur which they may know to be big brutes who could easily dispatch them in combat (apart from one plucky enough to make an attempt) with the others ganging up on the other girls - two on the more heavily armoured Calanthe and the last on the known caster (who is likely to be squishy and unlikely to hit back if her initial actions are to be taken as a sign of how she'll act in the coming minutes of battle)<br/><br/>All while they do so, it's under the stern gaze of their commander, second Hell Hound at his heel which seems to be impatiently awaiting his order to pounce upon its new meal, lest its brother dine alone. As each of them attack, the leader barks out orders to tighten formation, mind enemy movement and close in for the kill! At the moment her seems content to let his underlings handle things and not immediately retaliate on the attack upon his person. He gives a glance and a wry grin towards Aubry as though to say -<em>'You hurt me, now you get to watch your allies suffer'</em><br/>Though apart from one solid hit on the armoured lass, he is greatly disappointed. Couldn't even hit the flank side of a horse. Thoroughly annoyed, he commands the Hell Hound harassing the tortoise<strong>"Bark!"</strong><br/>The creature inhales, its chest puffing up and beginning to glow through its fur as its innards expand in infernal conflagration before letting out an almighty<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 13pt;"><strong>"ROWRF!"</strong></span>spewing flames that lick across the shell of the tortoise and engulf the ranger, tortle and wizard in front of it.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>-ACTIONS-</strong><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Zarr casts a spell - Heals 4 HP on Uth-lar</div><div class="spoiler_body">At 2019-01-10 17:21:52, Zarr (uid: 2076) rolls: 1d8a3 Result: 4 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=129049)</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Uth-lar uses his Leadership action</div><div class="spoiler_body">All Hobgoblins within 30 feet who can hear him adds 1D4 to their attack or saving throw rolls</div></div>The Hobgoblins do not get Advantage against the occupants of the carriage on this turn.
