The Goblins were spooked now. They were outnumbered, and they knew it. A meager defense was all they could put up with, striking out wildly as they backed away from those they faced.
Taksaka lunged forward as Rowan fended off his defenders, snatching up the last Goblin circling him and quickly slaying it with a quick slash of his claws. It managed to prod him once before it died, but it was more of a death flail than an actual attack, leaving hardly a scratch on Taksaka's skin as the life fled from it's eyes. He discarded the useless corpse, quickly surveying the battle field. Something was wrong. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but something was very wrong. They had struck swiftly, and silently, leaving little room for the Goblins to make any sort of defense: So where was their leader? Had the rumors he'd heard been incorrect, or had he already fled? But the second option was likely impossible; There was no way they had known the attack was coming or they wouldn't have been ambushed so easily. Taksaka had a sneaking suspicion he knew, as he eye'd the entrance on the far end of the small hovel, opposite from where they had entered, leading deeper down into the earth.
A rather well-lit entrance.
Why would the Goblins need another path down into the caves, unless...
His suspicions were confirmed as the two most injured of the now severely outnumbered Goblins turned to flee, running straight towards the same path Taksaka now eyed. The other two, healthier and still slightly bolder Goblins, turned and lashed out at the other warriors of the group, attempting to distract them.
"Stop them! Don't let them flee, or they'll alert the others!"
There must have been more goblins: And nearby, too. A second hovel existed down deeper into the Caverns, and if either of them managed to get away, they'd certainly bring the rest of the Goblins down upon them before they had a chance to prepare. He doubted that many more lay ahead, or they'd have seen more trace of them throughout the Cavern; But even so, it would not do well to face them all at once, especially if the Goblins got the drop on them and not the other way around. Taksaka himself moved to chase the two fleeing Goblins, but would be unable to catch them for several paces...
