Shizune toddled up to the fireball and held her hands out, the warm glow making her sweat a little even in the heart of winter.

Three spears whizzed into the water from the right bank, One flint tipped spear imbedded itself at Samoht's feet. The shaft broke on impact. Loud shrieks and gigling soundes echoed from above. Tenshi ducked and began to root through his scroll case.

Combat rounds: none applicable. To attack You need to declare you intend to string your bow, or begin to cast an attack spell.

Ryoukushen quickly stood and placed himself between the small child standing next to him and the direction from which the spears were coming. He knew full well that his frail body wouldn't provide the best cover, but it was the best he could do as he began the memorized ritual for the fires from within, hoping that by the time it was completed the creatures would be more visible.

Above them several Goblins apeared with bundles of crude spears. They're jiberish language echoed. Probably calling to more of them.

"I told you I saw something!" Matt said, drawing his bow and quickly knocking an arrow. "I hate goblins."

Zenko was about to warm his hands when the spears came. He ducked out of instinct. As a fist fighter, he had no way to combat these goblins. So he stood up and watched the goblins, in hopes that if a spear came at him, he could dodge it or at least move enough so it doesn't hit a vital organ.

The goblins continued to miss the people in the boat. They shouted angrilly. and their shouts were answered with more cackles. More goblins were coming. Another goblin threw a spear close to Samoht. narrowly missing his shoulder. Tenshi began casting a spell he had in his possession, he hoped this would work.

Samoht watched as a spear landed at his feet, and another one zipped past his shoulder. He gave a small grin.

"So, 'tis a fight they want! 'Tis be a fight they get!" Samoht took the spear that sat at his feet and tossed it off the side of the boat. He reached into his gunna and pulled out his bow and arrows. He notched an arrow to the string while steering the rudder with his feet.

"I'll get us out as soon as I can. Until then, watch yourselves!"

ooc: Your bow will be ready in two rounds. You need archery skill of 5 to string a bow in one round.

Ryoukushen held his arms out to his side as he finished his incantations, and his hands slowly enveloped in flames, which grew in heat and size until the tips of each fire was roughly as high as his head. The flames danced slowly and then begun to spin unto themselves, coalescinging into two, almost solid, spheres of heat, hovering ominiously above his palms.

He brought his arms around infront of him, the fires following, and directed each of his hands toward a different goblin. The fireballs shot out just as a spear flew over Raiden's shoulder, and quickly met their marks with two of the bakemono jibbering on the mountainface.

Upon impact the orbs of fire exploded onto the goblins and fire consumed each of them, leaving nothing but the smell of fried flesh and their screams of pain echoing through the mountain range.
