The two goblins were remarkably spare only by sheer luck whilst their leader finds another gash upon his flesh as the sword cut into his crude armor. However the blow wasn't fatal though the beast was still fighting back. Commendably this goblin refused to simply die quietly. Maxine's blow had been deflected to avoid death. None the less Maxine had a true chance to put down the goblin leader. Should he drop, the others morale would surely break. As for her question it went unanswered.

Her detect evil gaze sensed the level of evil it had was stronger than the other goblins.<br/><br/>(OOC: Maxine's action is next. Followed by Meresiel)
