Douse the flame of hope. The first tenant of the Oath of Conquest and the easiest to fulfill. Talogan's ambush had caught the final four completely off guard, and his display of Maglubiyet's divine power showed them that any thoughts of victory or escape were delusions of near death desperation. Though one of them still remained defiant it seemed. One of the sergeants, determined before the end to get at least a single scratch on the hobgoblin regarding it with a gaze of cold stoicism and barely concealed disgust as he rested on a barrel in front of it.

Rule with an iron fist. The second tenant of the Oath of Conquest. Words and displays of power only got you so far. The defiant sergeant was proof of that. Those who face conquest ultimately have two choices: Yield or die. Those who do not fall in line are made an example of. Much like the defiant sergeant, who fell to a squall of crossbow bolts and a hatchet to the face, leaving behind only those who rightly feared their approaching end.

Strength above all. The third, final, and most important tenant of the Oath of Conquest. You shall rule until a stronger one arises. Then you must grow mightier and meet the challenge, or fall to your own ruin. Talogan knew not how long the sergeants had led their men. But he did know that their weakness in the face of Talogan and his crew and their inability to grow strong and meet the challenge meant that their reign was at an end and their ruin was at hand. Talogan stood from his barrel and made his way to the last sergeant, who was too paralyzed with fear to do anything but stand and await the end. In once swift motion, Talogan buried his rapier and dagger into the sergeant's chest. Talogan then gripped the handles harder as he sent divine magic into each weapon, which in turn transferred it to the sergeant. The sergeant screamed its last as radiant energy incinerated its body from the inside out. When Talogan finally decided to withdraw his blades, the sergeant stopped screaming and fell to the ground as a smoking corpse. Talogan then stepped over the dead sergeants and positioned himself behind the remaining sea goblins, readying himself to end the battle with a final pincer attack.
