Raistlin’s staff illuminates, Caramon kills two guards with his hands

He held his own staff forth. “Shirak,” he said. The crystal ball flared into light. The goblins shrieked and shut their eyes, fumbling for their swords. At that moment, Caramon jumped from behind the door, grabbed the goblins around their necks, and swept their heads together with a sickening thud. The goblin bodies crumpled into a stinking heap.
“Dead?” asked Tanis as Caramon bent over them, examining them by the light of Raistlin’s staff.
“I’m afraid so.” The big man sighed. “I hit them too hard.”
