Everyone got into position. Hearts racing, hands sweaty, everyone did their best. Buddy set his axe down next to him as he lifted the barrel up easily in both arms, ready to chuck it. Shortfang loaded one of his barbed bone arrows into the crossbow and got ready to shoot any survivors. Soon you and Pylia stood side-by-side, and together you pushed the boulder down the hill. Or tried. For a few seconds you and Pylia pushed and pushed, but despite the two of you working together, even with magical assistance, neither of you managed to get the half-ton boulder to budge. "Keep... Pushing! I think it's moving..."

Both Buddy and Shortfang just looked at the two of you incredulously. Shortfang seemed amused, knowing that he of all people couldn't help you due to his small statue. Buddy just looked at you and you got the feeling that he wanted to say something along the lines of "This is why you need me" before he turned towards the pass below and hurled the barrel among the goblins gathered below. Only one even saw Buddy, and before he could scream out a warning the barrel and alchemist fire both crashed into the ground and created a [i]booming[/i] explosion that shook the mountain itself. In a flash of fire, eight goblins and three hobgoblins were flash fried into black and red charred crisps. This certainly caught the surprise and fright of the goblins closer to the pass as the smaller ones were in a panic, and even the larger hobgoblin was fearful seeing more than half of his allies killed in just a second. Shortfang took this opportunity to take a potshot at said hobgoblin, however perhaps out of reaction the hob had raised his shield to protect himself from the shrapnel of the explosion, which incidentally blocked Shortfang's shot too. There was a deep and bellowing roar from behind, which made the nervous goblins turn to face the adventurers up top.

"Well shit. I guess we'll just have to do this the old fashion way!" Pylia commanded her silver sword to move down the slope towards the goblins, causing it to fly lazily towards the horde while Pylia went to the edge of the ridge, summoning a ball of fire to hurl at a goblin before retreating next to the tree. This time however the goblins, despite being startled, were able to better defend themselves and managed to block the firebolt with their shield. Even though it left a deep scorch on the rawhide, it kept the goblins safe.
