Mor'du‘s arrow, though well aimed, plinks off the iron ingots stacked in the sled as the goblin he aims for ducks behind it.

Enathia half carries, half drags Melati to her cabin. She sits the V’Neef woman on her cot and removes the bottle from her hand. Then, Enathia sits at the small writing desk crammed in the corner, turning the chair to face Melati.
“Melati,” Enathia says, her face concerned. “What’s going on...
As the riders circle Afureru, she reaps them with her scythe in large, devastating swings, cleaving groups of them at a time. In the end the entire patrolling party of ghosts have been carved into heaps. Even their ghostly horses have been maimed.
End Combat
Amid the pile, a single grotesque...
Fret’s fire bolt singes her target goblin’s fur-lined jerkin and a small part of his arm. He yelps in pain and grits his teeth, staring straight at Fret.

Daggon, seeing the beast drop Eron, simultaneous breaths a sigh of relief and curses the creature.
“I SAID!” he yells up to the creature, “DOWN HERE, UGLY!” At that, he swings both his psi-swords at the leg of the Aishwarra.
[19 to hit. 74 M.D.]
Three of the goblins—including the previously injured one—nod off and slump into the snow. The other three exchange a worried look.

“Yes,” Taeran says nodding toward Manato. “Intelligence will be gold from here on out. If this Satrapy is to survive what is now on its doorstep, we will need to know what threats are out there, where they are, and if they’re moving or not.”
She turns toward her sister. “And yes, I will bring...
Enathia looks on as Melati stumbles away, her deep red hair snapping in the wind. Half-hearing Serena’s question, she barely notices when she walks away.
I’ve been there, Melati, Enathia considers as she feels a weight in her heart. One she hasn’t felt in a long time. One she hasn’t seen a in a...
Venaar, Kersh, Kotezira, and Geratius press into the depths below. The first room at the bottom of the stairs is antechamber filled with broken pottery and smashed prayer kneelers. A long time ago, those who wished pay respects to Galaeron Loraqen or anyone else buried here could take insence or...
A wreath of radiant flame descends upon the goblin, outlining him in brilliance as he thrashes and jerks in pain. His screeches of agony carry out into the snowy wilderness. By the time the flames dissipate, parts of his flesh are seared and charred and he is groaning.
[Ran, you're up. @D. Rex]...
Taeran steeples her fingers and leans forward, feeling the news like a punch to her gut. Unbidden, her thoughts begin to race, smeared with the blood of the battles sure to come. This—Kandara—will be the new front. The first stand against the flood of beastfolk and their Anathema Tyrant. And...
The six goblins break around both sides of the sled and take cover behind it. The all pop up and fire arrows at the party. Most whiz past the group, but Gurk, Mor'du, and Ran and all are winged or grazed by one.
[Attacks on each party member. 4 damage to Gurk and Mor'du. 5 damage to Ran.]...
The goblins stop pulling the sled and turn to look at what is calling out to them. Seeing the group—and mostly the minotaur at this moment—the exchange a look and shrug to each other. Then, they shrug back to the party and pull out their shortbows.
[Everyone roll initiative.]
[Goblin...
Enathia nods along with Moretta's comment. "Yes, and the change in ... uh, floating scenery would be a welcome one."
Despite what she is saying, Enathia can't help but notice the state Melati is in. Hell, it'd take a drunken horse not to notice her state, Enathia realizes. She's seen it many...
With her Essence-fillled gaze, Zoya deduces in an instant that this tower is a Manse, laced with soulsteel. It serves three purposes. First, the creation of a dread-hearthstone. Second, in a wide area around it, the tower amplifies the potency and effectiveness of necromancy. And lastly, over...
Afureru strikes at just the right moment.
She cuts down mount and rider alike, like wheat to the scythe. Ghosts fall and pile around the Solar.
[You get an initiative break bonus. They lose almost two magnitude track's worth. They drop 1 size and have to make a route check. They succeed.]...
"Hey, Ugly!" Daggon yells as the creature passes him. He brings his hands together and they crackle with psionic energy. When he draws them apart, two energy swords grow, one in each hand. Within range, he swings with both swords at the leg of this monster at the same time.
[Rolling to hit: 9]
Taeran rides up alongside Ferala.
"Damn, I wanted the kill," she says with a smile. "Nice hit. Impressive. It's been good riding with you. Perhaps you can show me a thing or two sometime." With that, Taeran wheels her mount and gallops to find Kitava. She thought she saw her sister pulling back...
The party follows the tracks in the snow, pressing on from where Oobok's remains lie.
After thirty minutes of following the grooves and tracks, the group discovers their quarry. The creatures they've been following appear to be goblins, based on their stature. All six of them groan, grunt, and...
