Blades and Blood - Part 3

There was something different about these ones that Beam couldn't quite put his finger on. They almost seemed more intelligent. Or at the very least, more restrained. The last party that he'd met would have thrown themselves at him by now, yet these seven just slowly advanced, screaming their horrific battle cries.

"Nila. Can you fire an arrow? It doesn't matter if you miss or not," Beam said, getting an ominous sense from their slow advance. At this rate, they would simply be smothered before they had a chance to counterattack.

Beam didn't get a reply, and just as he turned to find out why, he felt an arrow rush past his ear and fly through the trees.

"HYGAH!" There was a shrill scream as the arrow buried itself in a Goblin's eye. The creature tore it out of its skull, bringing its eyeball with it, its rage monstrous. But its legs went from under it a moment later and it collapsed to the floor, dead.
