Also, Rupert attempts to reanimate Duncan's disguise just for fun. lol

[Stars]

((I was going to describe the effects of Rupert's reanimation spell, but I'll let Kasper take that one.))

As Rupert clears the end of the alley, a group of three not-dead goblins comes into view. Apparently living goblins smell about as nice as dead humans. They had been sitting in a circle eating some rats and talking amongst themselves in whatever language they speak, but they all turned to stare at the large, hairy, and very plaid human that had just walked into their midst. The nearest goblin recovered from its shock first and jumped to its feet, grabbing a nearby club with a few rusty spikes sticking out of one end. The four-foot tall creature lets out a screechy little yell and brandishes its weapon at Rupert menacingly. The other two seem to be waiting to see what will happen.

Dragging against him, the freshly reanimated corpse fights against Duncan. It reflexively runs away as if it had learned to fear goblins very recently. Duncan throws his weight around, and the skin rips itself off of him, and falls down a few feet away. The goblin stares aghast at the site as the pair draw their weapons.

[Phalanxman]

Rupert uses the goblins shock to his advantage and recites a strong ice-binding spell binding the goblins feet to the ground and hands together with extremely cold ice. He then walks over to one of the goblins and asks the brute for information of what happened here. If they refuse to divulge such information, he simply chills his silver dirk to staggeringly cold temperatures and tortures the info out of the beast by burning it with the blade.

((Now now, let's not get carried away with ignoring rule one. :p))

Being distracted and disgusted by the disturbing display of Duncan's "skin" coming off, two of the goblins are easily frozen to the ground. They manage to grab their clubs before their hands are frozen and are awkwardly attempting to chip away at the ice on their feet.

The last goblin - the one who had already stood and grabbed his weapon - lunges at Rupert before the ice is able to take hold of its feet, yelling something in Gobbledygook. Rupert's Gobbledgook is a bit rusty, but he can make out the words, "Die, colorful human!" as the spiked club is comes arcing toward him.

[Phalanxman]

What is rule one?

[Stars]

((The first rule is that you can't take control of another character or determine what happens to them, which I will admit I had some trouble with myself when I first started doing forum RPs. Also, the last rule was to put all out-of-character text in brackets or something similar. :p))

[Phalanxman]

Rupert runs at the goblin full speed. [Duncan, can you teleport me be hind the goblin?] (in English) Rupert draws his dirk.

[kspr]

As duncan cannot teleport people other than himself, he does the next best thing he can think of, and puts his hands on the Rupert's back. He then recites a spell that slows time around them. ((duncan an rupert are unnaffected))

[Stars]

((You're welcome to include the part about him using anything as a weapon somewhere on there, but he needs to have some abilities from the archetype list. Two warrior abilities and one ability from any archetype. Other than that, I rather like him.))

The goblin is still in the process of swinging its spiky club at Rupert, though it is now moving at less than half its original speed. The other two goblins continue to chip away at the ice on their feet, but they won't be finishing that in any hurry now.

[kspr]

Duncan's short sword finds its way out from beneath his coat. preferring prolonged action sequences to the cold, impersonal nature of a fast climax, Duncan swings his sword towards the oncoming club.

[Phalanxman]

Rupert jukes to the left of the on coming goblin and in one action draws and attempts to sink his silver dirk into the back of the goblin's neck.

[Stars]

With his weapon moving so quickly in comparison to the goblin's, Duncan sends the club flying. Before the goblin's face can fully form an expression of shock, Rupert has his blade in the creature's neck, the latter apparently caring little for dragging things out.

As the small body falls to the ground Rupert and Duncan notice that it's slowly regaining speed. The two remaining goblins have also sped up a bit, though Duncan's spell still has some hold on them. One of them has managed to free a foot from Rupert's ice, and the other is not far behind.

[kspr]

As they begin to speed up, Duncan throws his grappling hook towards their feet in an attempt to tangle them up once they reach full speed.

[Phalanxman]

Rupert reanimates the fresh corpse and sends it to restrain the still stuck goblin.

[Stars]

One of the goblins is just about to pull its second foot free of the ice when Duncan throws his hook. The goblin doesn't become entangled, but the attack does cause it to lose its balance and fall on its face. Its hands are still frozen around its weapon, preventing it from easily getting back to its feet.

The first goblin doesn't immediately respond to the necromatic spell since it hadn't quite died yet, but it does eventually reanimate under Rupert's control. The now-undead goblin makes its way to the last goblin still stuck in the ice, and the two begin to struggle with one another.

[Phalanxman]

Rupert uses an ice spell to freeze the struggling goblins together.

[kspr]

Duncan lunges forward with his shortsword, and attempts to pierce both of the stuck together goblins.
