[color=fef580]“I don't know,”[/color] Eustace hedged. [color=fef580]“Renard. Hound,”[/color] he tried the options, rolling them on his tongue. [color=fef580]“I don’t think you’re supposed to give [i]yourself[/i] your own nickname…How about Knight? Spike? Hm.”[/color] He didn’t sound convinced, but then, they were getting closer to the fort. Chatter sputtered out as the guttural sounds of goblin talk could be heard.

Past the walls, there was comparatively less clutter, and here and there, they could spot a goblin skulking around in the shadows. There were more bones now, a decoration or marker, the young man supposed. Renard took the initiative, launching an ambush before the enemy could notice. After one last glance at the group’s flanks and blind spots to confirm no goblin had wandered where they’d not be able to react to it, Eustace turned to the front.

Following the hundi’s actual knife throw, he mimicked throwing a knife himself. Instead of an actual weapon, an illusion of light was weaved, a blurry facsimile that wouldn’t stand up to a thorough inspection. But then – what goblin could possibly inspect a knife that was seemingly flying at it? The illusion was launched at the second goblin Renard attacked; the idea was to distract it, so the hundi could kill it without much fuss.

That done, Eustace released the strap where his buckler was tied to his hip with a swift motion, and took up the small shield in his left hand. He held it in his left hand, in front of his body, his rapier in his right ready to pierce at anything that came too close. His gaze darted here and there, studying his allies, enemies, and the situation at large. He always had to make decisions on the spot on when to cast a spell; he never had much time to ponder, yet mana was a limited resource. So, Eustace would do his best to predict and react as approapriate.
