In this chapter the heroes fight the goblin leader of the attack.

The White Deer

Goblin dogrider.

I told them how things were and we brought the ladders and the remains of the body to the guards at the gate and went back to town to help cleaning up the last goblins. When we were approaching The White Deer, there were a really, really big goblin riding the biggest, meanest goblin dog so far, attacking an ordinary dog while a man was trying to fend for himself a few yards further away. I put a bullet straight in the chest of another goblin skulking nearby. Nathaniel charged it and split it in two with a mighty blow. Velicia ran up to the mounted goblin leader and used her incredible magic. Nathaniel joined in too. Dorothea and Honeypot used their magic on other smaller but still very tough goblins. Those threw javelins at us hitting with most. Nathaniel was hit several times and one pierced him and he fell to the ground bleeding.

Honeypot ran up to him reviving him and killed the leader goblin. I moved up to the awful, monstrous dog sure to kill the poor man trying desperately to defend himself, and hit it well with my dagger and tripping it, making it stumble into Velicias impressive magic swarm of dancing daggers, slicing it to shreds, thus surely saving the mans life. It turned out to be Aldern Foxglove, who is a nobleman passing through town. I've seen him partying at an inn earlier. You can never trust noblemen, perhaps except Nathaniel who seems to be nice.

Now I will go to bed. It's already late. Good night.
