"Nox, do you know how to make potions?" Asks Snide moving the pots of slime into the back.

"Not really, but why do you want to know?" Asks Nox, moving towards the firepit.

"The taste of the potions, have a slime taste to it, so I think potions have slime in it." Says Snide moving the towards the metal armor and start to put it on.

"I don't really know, so lets get someone that knows how to." Says Nox, moving a water pot above the fire.

"You mean capture them, because once we got them, we won't be letting them go." Says Snide feeling the armor, the pauldrons of the armor is compressing his shoulders.

"Need help?" Asks Nox putting 2 meat pieces next to the pot.

"No, I just need remove the parts that is too tight for me." Says Snide taking off the armor and start unbuckel the binds that connect the pauldrons to the breastplate.

"So how will we capture the person?" Asks Nox.

"We will capture a pink goblin." Says Snide as he put on the breastplate again and move his arms freely.

"Why a pink goblin?" Asks Nox, picking up the vines and a dagger.

"You said that they are technicians and leaders, so 1 of them is bind to know how to make potions." Says Snide taking a piece of meat.

"How sure are you that they will give the infomation?" Asks Nox taking the other meat piece.

"They will, after torture that is." Says Snide picking up the shield, axe and a blue vile.

"What if they lie about the recipes for it?" Asks Nox walking towards Snide.

"We will be using other goblins as test subjects, so we will have to capture 2." Says Snide walking out of the cave.

They turn right and walk towards the goblin's cave. They move around puddles and small rivers.

"A lot more work to move towards the goblin cave, isn't it?" Asks Snide as he picks up Nox and carries her over a river.

"Yea, It is always like this after heavy rain." Says Nox getting off of Snide and start walking again.

"But now I know how the water gets to the pond." Says Snide unrolling his Pyjama pants.

They reach the goblin cave and sneak into the forest to spy on the goblin cave. They don't see any goblin guarding the cave.

"Any idea why there isn't guards?" Asks Snide as he is kneeing behind a bush with Nox behind him.

"No idea, there will allows be 1 guard guarding the cave." Says Nox.

"Maybe the cave under attack." Says Snide covering them with the shield.

"That may be it." Says Nox getting closer to Snide.

"Lets wait until we see movement." Says Snide getting onto his knees.

They wait for a long time watching the cave. They finally see movement, but suprise on what they see. a gray ogre that is over 3 meters tall wearing a loincloth with a large wooden club come out of the cave, with with 5 goblins ranging from 0.8 to 1.3 meters tall following the ogre, 2 blue goblins wearing loincloths with collars around thier neck, 1 purple goblin wearing a robe carrying potions in their arms, 1 green goblin wearing a loincloth carrying a stone spear and 1 gray goblin wearing leather armor carrying a wooden shield and metal sword. They move closer to the forest.

"Move" Whispers Snide as he pulls Nox out of the path of the ogre. They hide behind a tree while the ogre drags the blue goblins behind them. Snide and Nox look around the tree to see the other 3 goblins are standing guard now.

"We will attack them when the Ogre is far enough, so we don't get trapped in a pinch." Whispers Snide as look through the trees at the blue goblins disappear into the forest. Snide looks back to the guards and rushes them. He uncorks the vile and chugs the potion, He takes the axe from his right hand with his left hand and swings the axe, The gray goblin blocks the attack and swings their sword. Snide blocks the attack with his shield. The green goblin thrusts their spear towards Snide. The spear hits, but snaps as Snide gets covered by a blue light. Nox is swinging the dagger at the purple goblin, making sure that they don't do anything with the potions that they are holding. Snide kicks the green goblin's head, sending them backwards hitting their head on the ground, knocking them out. The gray goblin swings their sword sideways, Snide swings his shield towards the sword, sending the sword back. While the gray goblin tries to get the sword back infront of him. Snide swings the axe down into the head of the goblin, killing the gray goblin. Snide looks over at Nox and the purple goblin. The purple goblin keeps jumping back dodging all Nox's attacks without noticing Snide walks behind them. When the purple goblin is close to Snide, Snide drops the axe sideways so a blunt side hits the top of the goblin's head. The goblin falls down and the potions that they were holding breaks.

"Nox grab the green goblin while I take the purple goblin." Says Snide as he picks up the purple goblin and run into the forest followed by Nox dragging the green goblin. They hide behind trees, tying up the goblins with the vines. Goblins start running out of the cave and quickly start fanning out. Snide and Nox start running in the forest towards their cave, Snide carrying the tried up goblins and shield while Nox carrying the weapons.

"Hurry Nox, we don't know how far they will search for us." Says Snide as he runs over a puddle, while Nox runs through it. They get to a river, Snide throws the goblins over the river and carries Nox over it. They get to other side and start moving again to the their cave.

They reach the cave and walk inside Snide lay the goblins at the back of the cave.
