Template:Rise of the Runelords chapter

On the way there Honeypot prepared a magical ritual and we took the time to get it done. It made sure that we could whisper to each other even if we were at the other end of the glassworks. To test this Velicia, Nathaniel and Honeypot went to the exhibition end of the glassworks to peek in through the glass dome on the roof, while I and Dorothea went to the service entrance at the other end, where Ameiko were supposed to meet with her brother. The doors were locked but after some work we got them open. The others told us that all the glass in the exhibition was smashed. We entered into an empty hall. There was an awful smell of goblin. You could hear goblins making noises through some double doors. The others got down from the roof and ran over to us. I listened to the other door and heard goblins making noises there too, but not as loud. I thought I heard a human voice in pain through that door so I suggested we storm through there. As we did we saw lots of goblins and a glassworker being treated badly as entertainment by the goblins. We took them by surprise and there was a big fight. I did my part and showed all the others my formidable skill. Honeypot did it too when she jumped over a goblin into another room. That was a nice move. I have to try it myself sometime. After a while we had killed all goblins and freed several workers, but we were too late to save all of them. There was at least one that had been hacked up as if butchered for meat. I felt sick but tried to look the other way. I don't think the others noticed.

We took a short rest while Honeypot tried to heal us and the workers. We told them to leave as we would make sure the all goblins doing this would be killed. They were quite taken by the experience and asked for protection. We helped them out of the glassworks and sent them on their way to the Mayor before we headed for the other room, which turned out to be where all the glass were made. I charged right up to a big goblin boss standing next to a big oven-looking fireplace in the wall. I tricked it to get right in front of the open doors to the fire pit and skewered it so it fell right into the fire. With a scream it died a fiery death. Dorothea also had time to get in and use some of her scary magic before a goblin made an awful cloud of disgusting goblin vapors that filled the room. It didn't quite fill the entire room, but the whole part we were in. It made my eyes tear up and all goblins very hard to hit. A goblin charged me with a glass blower pipe. It was like a spear with a melted glass tip. I easily jumped out of the way. Nathaniel sliced a goblin in half with the mightiest blow I've ever seen done with a sword, or anything else for that matter. Velicia improved on my idea of throwing the goblins into the ovens by doing it to three at a time with thundering magic that blew them like leaves in the wind into the fire.

After some more hard fighting we succeeded in striking down most of the goblins. The magic using goblin and another one tried to flee but Velicia put her ball of whirling daggers in front of the door and I and Nathaniel both charged the mage goblin. I jumped up on a long table, running along it and springing forward with feline agility I lashed out, cut deep into the mage with my new magic dagger and rolled on to box it in. It didn't last long when we all surrounding it cut it to pieces.
