Missile fire is not possible, so the melee fighters sprint towards the combat. Aldbane and Marco use the surprise to each cut down a goblin, but undeterred, they press on in a swarm. Rhod and Grampus had arrived, and so help receive the charge.
The goblins are not skilled, and between that and the company's great armor, they are unscathed by the attack. The counter-attack is devastating, and the remaining four goblins are all cut down
