Things were going downhill surprisingly fast and not in a way Oberon had anticipated. Digbie had left the cave for some reason and saw that the Goblins were, to no one’s shock, not undertaking Digbie’s orders in good faith by leaving the animal hobbled and disarmed. Torrent had gotten involved at some point, attacking one of Rag’s followers and having Rag’s point a knife at her in turn. 

Nothing was on fire this time though, so that was something. 

Any chance of handling this diplomatically or neatly had probably been lost at this point. The only question was did they try and salvage what little they could, potentially still have the Goblins lead them to their tower and get what they could out of this, or did they just throw the whole plan away?

[color=f49ac2]“Are we doing this? Are we fighting?”[/color] Oberon got his answer in the form of a chipped and broken sword striking Rag’s shield. [color=f49ac2]“Okay, I guess we’re fighting.”[/color]

Before Oberon could do anything, Rag’s was struck in the side of the head by a blunt arrow, a fact that the Sprite hadn’t fully processed before a cloaked figure burst from the trees riding a mount swinging a net over his head. The new arrival was concerned for several reasons, but it seemed to be focusing on the Goblin’s rather than them for the moment and Oberon was content to leave it at that for the time being. Instead he turned his attention towards the large, sword-wielding Goblin who was currently trying to retrieve his weapon from the goat’s flank.

Oberon would much prefer it if the swordsman didn’t manage to get his weapon back and use it against them, so he prepared a Mana Slice and launched it towards the Goblin’s arms, hoping to either cut and damage the limbs or at least force him to release the weapon and leave it where it was.
