They had been waiting for that.

Breaking out from the lines repeatedly was nothing more than a sign of lack of discipline, from a trainer painting a massive target on his back by breaking into enemy lines solo, to a mage pushing aside her tank in order to get a clear shot at a singular goblin. As Willow vented her anger on the two trainers, human and goblin alike, an opening exposed itself, one that no glory-seeking Goblin would ignore. Three poisoned bolts drove themselves into her body, her healing spells already set to cooldown as they were expended upon River. Immediately, debuffs such as <<Disease>>, <<Grevious>>, and <<Poison>> emerged on her status, chipping further away, but those were an afterthought compared to the sudden struggles that sounded through the rest of the backline.

The wedge of goblins that crashed the lines hadn’t just been there to kill. They had also served as a distraction, one that was only magnified by the sudden appearance of a faerie dragon knocking everyone away. And as the attention shifted back to the frontlines, the clash between the main forces, no one realized that the enemy was still amongst them until it was too late.

Holly felt a pinprick on her neck, before the world immediately blackened in front of her. The <<Sleep>> status burned right before her eyes, and no matter what she willed herself to do, she could not force the darkness of unconsciousness away.

Prome, lost in his own world as he unloaded Fire Blast after Fire Blast, suddenly choked, thin wire tightening around his neck as a small creature latched onto his back, pulling harder and harder on the garrotte.

All around them, other backline DPses were suddenly tipping over, disabled or debilitated, while the Goblins surged with renewed vigor in this moment of respite, their own backline offenses now able to fully commit upon smashing apart the shield wall. Goblin Ambushers. That was what had slipped in during the mess that the wargs and brutes had caused, small, black-cloaked creatures that specialized in disabling rather than killing, a whole assortment of powerful debuffs in their small, deadly hands.
