As much momentum as they had in the beginning, the tides quickly began to turn against the party through a series of misses and near-hits. It was as expected, seeing as their theatrics earlier would cause them to be disorganized now. Perhaps Neth would actually point this out at some point, breaking his cover in exchange for some peace and quiet. Before he did, however, misfortune struck.

The savage human was felled by an arrow from a ranged adversary. Following that, the other goblin rushed up and sliced his throat clean open. Unless any of their healers acted quickly, the man was surely dead. Even if that were the case, it seemed he would be too crippled for the rest of this expedition, and a hindrance to the rest even after he's healed. The cold dread of Winter would claim another soul, it seemed.

Nethruel would see to it, however, that blood shall be paid in kind.

Seeing the half-elf make quick work of the goblin in her immediate vicinity, Nethruel's attention turned to the archer, arcane energies surging from his left hand once more. The eldritch magics flared outwards in the shape of a pale blue spear, flying right for the goblin's chest. Hitting its mark, the goblin would find itself impaled by the spear, albeit not directly. Instead, it would feel as if its very soul was impaled with eldritch force, like a spectral icicle had found its way right through it. This was the nature of the magic given to Nethruel by the Prince of Frost, baleful energies that strike at one's life force. Such a thing was only effective against taking lives, and not much else.

Seeing the goblin's life slowly snuffed out by his attack, Nethruel once more raised his book to his face, content that the job was done. He had no wounds to lick, and a job to accomplish. He even didn't take any time to mourn for their losses, or at least work to prevent a potential one. Such was the nature of one painted with the pale whiteness of Winter. Unforgiving and uncompromising, cruel and practical.
