TACTICS

During Combat if there are two goblin priests, the nearer will attack recklessly with his heavy mace, while the other supports him with his cleric spells, opening with blindness/deafness (favoring blindness), and hold person, though he uses a silence spell instead if one of the PCs appears to be a powerful spellcaster. Either priest will use death knell at the first opportunity, and make full use of their cure spells to continue the fight. If things are going badly, the goblin priests use their channel negative energy ability as a last resort, hoping to kill the PCs, even at the cost of their own lives.

Morale The goblin priests fight to the death.
