~THE BATTLE OF YEAR TEN, AND THE FATE OF ONYX LEARNMOUTH~GOBLINS: 10/10 dead
BLAZECOOKS: One death, and minor injuries.
The battle of year 10 was barely a siege, with the goblins sending only 10 soldiers (albeit well-equipped and skilled soldiers) to BLAZECOOKS. Some citizens were caught outside, so rather than use anything resembling tactics the entire armed forces was scrambled to the field.
Without any actual arrangements on my part, Onyx was first out the gate by quite some distance.
I was pleased, since it seemed like her life's goal of glorious death by distraction was nigh. Here she is surrounded by about 8 goblins, expertly blocking
every single attack. In the next frame, she has knocked out one goblin by smashing it's foot (?) and has resorted to punting goblins into the local pond to drown them amid explosions of mist.
Then, tragedy strikes! Onyx was knocked into the pool herself by a flying arrow. With no skill whatsoever in swimming, and her squadmates well behind... this was the watery end.
While the goblin squad celebrated (and nursed a large number of painful muscle and bone bruises) two squadmates showed up and engaged the goblins. Things were looking grim, as one was cruelly struck down and the other was hard pressed. Lard Imic XXIX was trundling up behind (he is quite large, and was out of breath), but the odds were stacked against them.
Just kidding! Here's Onyx crawling out of the murky pool like a steel-clad revenant directly next to a (presumably terrified) goblin bowman. She immediately flipped right the fuck out and opened a can of condensed whoop-ass on the goblin, pictured below.Onyx is alive and well, and survived with no kills and minor injuries.Meanwhile (and I was too transfixed by the above events to get a photo) Lard Imic had lumbered up to the now tired-and bleeding surviving goblins. He proceeded to crush entire goblin limbs up into their little fragile goblin torsos with his silver maul, and won the battle.
