>long sword

Weapon size isn't really the problem here so much as just general inexperience. Fighter-scrub got in multiple baseball swings in that big-ass tunnel, including at least one totally unimpeded overhead swings, throughout that fight.He was doing perfectly fine until a random rock got in his way ONE time and four goblins instant-speed teleported onto all sides of him (previously having been staying out of his reach to avoid getting clobbered) and proceeded to get in half a dozen attack chains each.His death doesn't really make any sense unless the goblins had future vision and knew that THIS SWING IN SPECIFIC out of the 20 times he swung his sword this fight was going to leave him exposed and moved to take advantage of his opening before he even started his attack, or if his sword hit the rock and he just froze in place for 3 seconds to let himself be stabbed to death because he was so embarrassed.It was a newbie mistake, but it was pretty clearly just a writers excuse to have him die like a bitch. There were half a dozen ways he could have made that particular mistake and still survived the fight, but none of them would have allowed for gratuitous rape scenes so we didn't get those.
