With the hobgoblin bearing down on them, our heroes raced to protect the villagers. Knowing they wouldn't be able to survive an attack from the creature, they had no choice but to separate them from the battle. The Jester quickly created a wall of fire, blocking the villagers off from participating in the fight. Facing down the remaining enemies alone, the heroes readied themselves.
The goblins numbered only about a dozen, and so they posed little threat compared to the hulking hobgoblin. It stood nearly twelve foot tall, and was muscular beyond belief. It wielded what appeared to be the remains of the bottom half of a tree, with the roots forming a spiky club. It stood behind the goblins, preparing to use them as a shield and counterattack.
Knowing this, the heroes decided to wait instead of attacking. This aggravated the goblins, as they knew they would either have to attack or retreat back to the forest in defeat. Eventually they rushed the heroes, with the hobgoblin right behind them. The heroes met them with swings of their weapons. Bones cracked, and skulls were crushed as the limp goblin bodies fell to the ground. As the swordsman hero spun and slit the throat of one goblin, the hobgoblin sprung up behind him and slammed his makeshift club down. As it was about to connect with its target, the club was intercepted by a spear.
Having its attack knocked off course, the hobgoblin angrily looked to the origin of the thrown spear. A Young Man stood happily looking back at the creature. To his side, a shadow moved out of the hobgoblin's view. It turned to see what it was, but was suddenly pummeled in the side of its face. Teeth flew from its skull, and the hobgoblin stumbled backward. Regaining its bearings, the hobgoblin discovered it had been hit by a Young Woman wearing spiked gauntlets.
Preparing to swing its club at the Young Woman, the hobgoblin never saw the Warrior Hero swing his flail into the back of its leg. Upon connecting, the hobgoblin's knee was smashed to pieces. It crumpled to the ground, and the Swordsman Hero lunged at its throat. It parried his first slash, but was caught off guard when he spun and quickly slit its throat with a quick-draw technique with his second blade. Before he could leap away from the creature, the hobgoblin grabbed the swordsman hero's leg and prepared to snap him in half. Before it could, the spear found its way into the back of the creature's skull and out through its left eye.
The Swordsman Hero dropped to the ground, and rolled away. The large body of the hobgoblin fell to the ground with a thud, dust kicking out from all sides. Drawing his spear from the slain hobgoblin's head, the man was revealed to be the Hero's' old friend Kloss! He introduced the young woman as Daysia. The heroes thanked them for their assistance, and turned to the village. The villagers had seen the large creature fall, and so they had begun to put out the fires. As the light from the fires faded, darkness returned to the village.
The villagers lit a few torches, and they gathered to discuss the battle. Meanwhile, our Heroes sat down with their friends and talked. They discussed the "B is For Brutal" Podcast, their dislike of superhero movies, and the lack of new movies and games.
