Crushing one of the mana crystals he held to restore his mana, Oberon let himself drift down from the ceiling as he watched a small group of Goblin’s head in his direction, their progress clearly visible from the torches two of their number held. This was not the group whom Mourningstar had fired upon, nor the group who had killed the other Wisp, but judging from the speed at which they moved and the way that they were heading straight in his direction it seemed clear that they knew someone was over here.

There was a commotion of some kind off in the direction of the entrance that suggested that someone else had also had a run in with the Goblins, but a look towards that area showed him nothing; nonetheless Digbie ran off towards the source of the noise and Mourningstar went after him, leaving Oberon by himself to face the oncoming Goblin’s. The small party didn’t change direction to follow them which meant the Goblin’s either didn’t see the two leave or they had seen and where targeting him specifically.

He should probably assume it was the latter, if only because it was the worst case scenario and it paid to be prepared for the worst. So, what could he do? If they had really seen him then he couldn’t hide; they would find him eventually. He could try and run, but unless they lost sight of him they would likely just continue to chase him and without knowing where everyone else was he didn’t want to accidentally lead the Goblin’s to one of his allies.

Although, if done intelligently that probably wasn’t a bad idea honestly; leading the Goblin’s towards his allies so that they could face them together was probably the smart decision right now. Even so he didn’t think he could do it. If they had planned for something like this beforehand then maybe but they hadn’t. Leading these enemies into an ambush was one thing but when the supposed ambushers didn’t know they were supposed to be ambushing someone then he would just be putting people in danger. Fighting them by himself seemed like a bad idea but Oberon didn’t want to be responsible for anyone else getting hurt; at least he knew he could shield and heal himself if anything went wrong, not to mention fly away.

The torches were closer now, close enough that Oberon could see more about the Goblin party heading his way. There were only three of them, two with torches and one without, and they were all armed. It didn’t appear that any of them were carrying shields however, so firing at them from a distance was a viable tactic; even if they did have shields he was sure his Mana Dart would have made short work of any makeshift shield anyway given what he had seen it do to that rock earlier.

It seemed his course of action was set.

Taking a bracing breath, Oberon dropped even lower and began to fly towards the Goblin party, casting Shield III on himself as he did so. He approached cautiously, maintaining a distance from the ground that should keep him out of the range of their spears, unless they decided to throw them, but making no effort to try and hide his approach; not that it would matter much anyway if they already knew where he was to begin with.

When he was almost on top of them he stopped, hovering above them and raising both hands in front of him. Concentrating on the image of a small and narrow projectile Oberon cast a Mana Dart at the first torch wielding Goblin before turning and firing a second at the other torch bearer.
