Keeping their edge over the adventurers, the hobgoblins fire their missiles first. The bigger of the two archers, who wounded Morstad moments ago, persists and fires at the tall hireling once again. The arrow flies true and pierce Morstad in one of his lung. He slowly go down to both knees, gasping for air and utter a last message to his companions before dying face down in the mud. "Tell Gallaine I'm sorry..."
The same archer's second arrow goes for Mimosa and strike him in his left shoulder. Blood spills out but the cleric of Hlenp is still standing. The other archer shoots twice at Keltin and hits him once. It leaves a nasty wound right in his stomach. At the same time, all the adventurers see the barricade tossed away by two new hobgoblins and yet more seems to be behind them.
The monkey man vomits a bit of blood and fire two of his own arrows at his assailants. Though one grazes one of the goblionoid, they both fail to inflict damage. Mimosa tries to counterattack and violently whirl his sling around. He puts so much energy in it that it escapes his grasp and the whole sling flies twenty feet away. Cursing himself for his lack of ranged weapon, Firali places his back to the tower walls to get some cover from the archers. With his face down in the dirt, Fern manages to redirect part of his spells energy upon the two new visible targets. A low rumble wash out the battlefield and the four hobgoblins fall down into a magical torpor. Amidst all this chaos, Master Cedarfoot tries in vain to light up one of his torches, the rain putting out the little sparks he manages to get from his silex.
