Goblin Incursion [Part 3]

Lucius leapt to the side, dodging a clumsy strike from the Hobgoblin. It was physically stronger than him and faster, however its moves were easily read and were not the attacks of a well-trained fighter.

Zira jumped into the fight to make it a lot easier for the two of them. A full-grown hobgoblin was about twice Lucius' size in terms of muscle mass and stood a whole head and a half taller than him, so having her assistance was welcome.

Both scouts took turns parrying blows from the monster as they worked to tire him and slow his movements. Zira took openings given by Lucius to make a few stabs and slashes at important body parts like the arms or legs.

Seemingly because of his rage, these attacks did not do much to weaken or slow him as he simply fought through the pain. Lucius glanced over to the rest of the group that was quickly finishing up their fight against the normal goblins and other hobgoblins.
