| *Malice runs for several meters into the alley chasing after the shadowy figure, who is moving with quite excellent speed now. The cloaked creature ducks around a corner and Malice follows, skidding to a stop as the curve reveals a small group of similarly cloaked figures. A quick glance reveals six of them including the one Malice chased. The panting one turns around and snarls gleefully. They all throw off their cloaks and Malice discovers that he has happened upon a small band of Goblin thieves.*
((Creature Description: Goblins--
Small, cowardly creatures of about four and a half feet tall, the Goblins are generally pack scavengers. Very dishonest and disloyal beasts, they resort to trickery and cheap shots to kill and rob anyone they can. They are not tremendously skilled foes, but their numbers tend to make them a moderate threat. Intimidation will work on small groups of them, but Goblins are pretty stupid and usually don't feel like taking the time to find another mark. While they may be unsavory creatures, their bodies are generally a good place to find past loot.))
*The goblins draw their weapons and prepare to attack. Three have small daggers. Another uses a tomahawk-like handaxe. The leader employs a rapier and the other holds a wicked looking kriss. All of the weapons are rusted and tarnished, which means that while slash quality is low, infection is a possibility. They should be handled with care.*
((Your move. If things go badly...Sha-kul may be around...but don't count on it.)) |
