"L-lightning!?" He exclaimed as he was shot back by it. This WAS a world of magic after all, so he shouldn't be surprised. But this is also all new to him. He'll be less surprised by the next elemental attack. He promises himself.
"Alright, shaka brah. Shawshank. Uh, whatever.." He flashsteps in as quick as he could to deliver a blow to the stupid shaw-man shooting lightning. Hopefully no more gets to him while he's moving towards him. In his hand he'd charge a chi blast, and once close enough, one hand blast it away as best he could.

You move like a blur, darting around and over the goblins as they flail at you.
You chi blast hits the shaman and part of is seems to flow around him as though he has some sort of resistance or defence. Enough gets through to wound him though as another spike of lightning leaps toward you.
Better prepared you avoid it, and the strike his other body guard (?) launches at you. These goblins seem to be a step up from the others and it may take a little more effort to deal with them.

"So these are the big boys, then. They've got some spunk." He nodded. He took a breath in. "This might hurt, but no pain no gain." He told himself. Going forward, he lunges on a full assault on the shaman, ignoring the big guy for the time being. "Little dude goes first, then it's just me and the big guy."

Your punch is enough to put the Shaman down. He's probably not dead but he's not going to be casting any spells any time soon.
The shaman's bodyguard seems a bit more competent than his fellows with a massive swing he manages to catch you with what appears to be a spiked mace. It certainly hurts enough (-1w).
Only a few goblins have joined him and don't manage to land any hits but you get the impression that if they start ganging up on you, you could be in trouble.
(Ooc your health is now 3/5)

"Well hope he's down for a good time. Now, just the big guy and I." He said looking at the big guy, but noticed the small ones were trying to jump into the action too. Their strength was in their numbers it seemed. Pesky indeed.
"This one did the trick last time, so we'll see how it goes again." He said taking his hands together, and then extending them out toward the big guy.
"HA-BOO-KEN!" He exclaims poorly imitating a Hadoken from Street Fighter. He hardly played video games, so it was fine that he got it wrong..
Anyways. Victor shoots out a chi blast at the big guy, and hopes it puts the big guy down like his other big buddy. After which he'd have to watch out of the little guys starting to pile up on him.

The goblin bodyguard goes down and that seems to take the fight out of the rest of the goblins. They flee and after a moment you notice that the body of the goblin magic user has vanished.
The ground around you is littered with dead or dying goblins and definitively dead humans. Apparently goblins don't leave the dying for later.
The Dwarf and the human are still atop the wagon and it doesn't seem as though any goblins managed to get up onto it.
The horses that were pulling it are dead so the wagon is going no where.

"Woof...what a mess.." He said looking at the corpses around him. He'd seen dead bodies in movies, and hoped it'd translate well in real life, but apparently movies doesn't do it justice enough.
"Hey, you guys good?" He said walking towards the remaining people. "Sorry for your losses. Umm..where ya headed?" He simply asked.

The Dwarf jumps down off the wagon and offers you his hand.
"We have survived thanks to your timely intervention, my friend. I am Jared Bronzebeard, and we are in your debt. We are headed toward Stonespire."
He looks around at the wreckage of his wagon and the dead horses.
"At least we were, until those Green vermin came upon us."
"My companion there," He says pointing to the last remaining guard. "Is Arthur Green, sargent of the Frost Fort mercenary company."
"Were are you headed if I may ask?"

"Glad to help. Call me Vega. Uh, Stonespire huh?"
"No idea. Just got here when I wandered onto you guys in trouble. ..know anywhere a guy could get some good food I guess?"

"I do indeed. If you'll travel with us to Stonespire, you will be my guest. We Dwarves may never forget a grudge, but we also never forget a debt and for this rescue I am in your debt."
He thumped his hand across his heart.
"My cousin runs the local merchants concern in the town outside Stonespire. With luck he will have received my distress call and will be heading toward us even as we speak."
"So long as no more goblins turn up, we should reach the city by nightfall."

"Stonespire huh? Funky town name. I guess if they've got food, and you can help me with that, it'd be appreciated." He said ready to head out. "So like I said, I just got here. What is this...land called? Any good information you give a newbie?" He asked.

The Dwarf looks at you oddly for a moment
"You do not know what the land is called?"
He frowns and then shrugs
"You are a stranger to these parts then. You stand in the Dwarven Kingdom of Landfell. Most Northern of the great Dwarf Kingdoms."
He seems to wait a moment for recognition to cross your face, then as it doesn't his look turns to one of concern.
"You have not heard of our Kingdom? I had thought we were famous the world over. Where are you from my friend? If you do not know us yet are deep within our lands I must wonder how you came here."
He places a reassuring hand on your shoulder.
"Not that it is a problem, you have saved our lives and we are in your debt. You are my guest for as long as you need and I shall tell you whatever you need to know so long as it does not place me or mine in danger."

Vic thought the best thing to do right now would probably not tell the dwarf that he's not really from this world. Would probably make him out to be some weird alien or something, if they believed in such things.
"Sorry, never heard of your kingdom, but I'm sure it's great. Where I'm from is..not around here. A place called America if you've ever heard of it. But that's not important. I've moved on from my old home, and am now out here looking to make a new start. Somewhere I can enjoy myself to the fullest, ya know? A place that has good food, beautiful women, and maybe a place to fight. An arena or something for sport. Know any places like that?"

“Nay, I have not heard of this America, but it sounds like a human city might be what you seek. There are arenas in the human cities to the south. I could guide you there when I leave Stonespire.”
There is a sound of rumbling and the dwarf turns his head and grins.
“Ah it sounds like help is arriving.”
The rumbling quickly turns into the thundering of hooves, which quickly transforms into a large cavalry unit as armoured humans stream into the clearing on horses. Behind them a group of armoured dwarves on huge armoured goats. One goat rider, a huge black bearded dwarf on an even bigger and more ornery looking white furred goat bounds up to you.both.
“Ah Bronzebeard! Looks like you cleaned out the vermin before we arrived. Who is your friend?”
Jared raises his Halbard in one hand in salute.
“Aye 'Captain', Though without my new friend here I doubt we'd have lasted until you arrived. His name is Vega, a traveller.”
The 'Captain' dismounts and holds a big mailed hand toward you.
“You have my thanks Master Vega and the thanks of the dwarves of Stonespire. I am Captain Gorad Bronzebeard, will you come to the city that we might thank you properly?”

"Sounds good to me. Human cities huh? Sounds like the place for me I guess."
"Just glad I could help in any way. If anything, I'm regretful I couldn't get there sooner. But, no large thanks is needed. As I was telling your friend here, I could go for a good meal. Maybe get checked up to see if any of my wounds are serious, but that's all I'll need. Thanks, Captain."
