It was almost unfair, thought Elannion, cleaving his fourteenth or fifteenth Goblin in two. How can these foul creatures
hope to stand against a master of battle such as he, especially with the fabled Sword of SuIannar in his hand? He deftly
dodged an ungainly swing from the standard bearer of the frantic greenskins, catching the rusting blade with his own
glowing sword and snapping it off just above the guard. The Goblin stared in amazement fora moment, and then fell himself
as Elannion's blade cut him down too. The banner wavered, but eager green hands clutched al it to slop it from falling, until
Elannion's blade flashed once more and chopped the ragged banner from the staff. As the tattered fabric slumped to the
ground the Goblins recoiled, leaving Elannion facing just one of their number – the largest Goblin he had ever seen.
Malevolent red eyes glowed under his black hood as the Goblin hissed his hatred at the Elf. 'You', he said, pointing at
Elannion. The noble Elf motioned to his followers to stay back. At last he had found an enemy who was perhaps worthy of
him. This little fracas would be decided in single combat.

The two warriors circled each oth.er slowly, each sizing up his opponent. Elannion was taller, faster and undoubtedly better
dressed, but the Goblin had a certain wiriness and an evil glint in his eye. Elannion darted forward, striking at the Goblin
leader before he could react. The Sword of SuIannar slid easily through his filthy robes only to rebound from something
lurking beneath. The vicious greenskin grinned broadly and pulled aside the robe to reveal a shimmering coat of fine scale
armour that glowed gently with a pale blue light where it had been struck. Elannion narrowed his eyes. Magic, eh? Before
he could compose an appropriately heroic remark the Gobbo struck back, stabbing with his own saw-toothed blade.
Elannion dodged, but not quickly enough. By the gods this one was fast! But that blow too skimmed off magical armour
and Elannion thanked his forefathers for such well enchanted protection. He grinned in turn; they were evenly matched.

Again the Goblin struck only to be parried by Elannion's glimmering blade. A strike back, a parry, then another. The fight
grew swifter by the moment and the onlookers forgot their animosity as they strained to follow the frenetic combat before
them. Sparks flew as magical blades rebounded from enchanted armour, but neither could gain the upper hand. At last they
separated, drawing back towards their followers, panting with the exertion. 'You fight well, for to Elf', hissed the Goblin.

'So do you', replied Elannion. 'For a stunted abomination.'

The Goblin grinned at the insult, calmly pointing a scrawny finger at the Elf. Magical fire leapt from the ring on his
outstretched hand, engulfing Elannion in a firestorm of destruction from which nothing could escape.

"Next!"
