The thing was built like a tank, its hunched back brushing the ceiling two feet above my head. The impact reduced the chair to kindling, but it gave her a moment to scramble across the room and get behind me. It went down screaming and clutching itself.Īvilla stumbled, and an overstuffed chair leaped over her to intercept a blow from the troll’s massive club. But I threw up a barrier to halt its progress in midair, and then Cerise flicked something that looked like a writhing blob of shadows at it. The goblins bounced around the room like green monkeys, and one of them tried to dart around me to get at her. “Avilla! Over here!” Cerise called urgently from behind me. Several arrows bounced off my shield, and I grabbed one goblin who stayed still for too long and tossed him into the fire. After that they switched to dodging, although the constant interference from the house’s enchanted defenders hampered their movements badly. Two more goblins met their end in quick succession, before they realized I had an invisible weapon.
