Chapter 23: gathering ingredients.

Nox hears out the recipe and moves all the ingredients that they have, the green slime and water pot, but are missing the plants. Snide drags the pink goblin to the green goblin and walks to the weapons and picks up 2 daggers.

"Nox, we are going to collect the plants." Says Snide as he walks towards the entrance of the cave, Nox grabs a empty pot and walk after Snide.

"We need leaves that look like a heart shape and a rare type of flower that has green and red colour petals." Says Nox looking up at the trees.

"Oh, now you say it." Growls Snide as he gives Nox a dagger and turns around to walk back inside the cave, he puts on the breastplate, picks up the shield, the magic spear and a green vile.

"Should have told me about the rare flower before I exit the cave, because I saw a few at the goblin's hunting grounds that is on the other side of the goblin cave, and right now it is dangerest to go there." Says Snide as he exits the cave.

"So we may fight against hunters." Says Nox following Snide through the forest to the pond.

"Yep, so better be prepared." Says Snide stepping over the fallen tree and taking the pot from Nox to let her climb over the fallen tree.

"I will be collecting?" Asks Nox taking the pot back from Snide.

"Yep, while I stand guard." Says Snide as they get to the pond and start following the other marks to the goblin's hunting grounds.

"How much do I need to get?" Asks Nox

"All or when the petals full half the pot." Says Snide walking over a puddle.

"Ok." Says Nox as she walks through the puddle.

They reach the goblin's hunting grounds.

"No movement, so either they hunted already or the animals are now in a differant spot." Says Snide as he scans the open area.

"There are the flowers." Says Nox pointing to the flowers.

"Ok, collect them, while I stand guard." Says Snide while they walk to the flowers. They reach the flowers, Nox places down the pot and start to cut the stems of the flowers and placing the flower heads in the pot.

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

Snide watch out into the trees for any movement while Nox collects the flowers. A spear flies out of the forest, Snide blocks the thrown spear with his shield and sees 5 goblins emerges from the forest, ranging from 0.6 to 1.5 meters tall, 2 yellow goblin, 1 brown goblin, 1 white goblin and 1 purple goblin. the yellow goblins wearing loincloths and have bows with arrows in them, the brown goblin wearing a cloth robe and has spears, the white goblin wearing loincloths and carrying spears and arrows, the purple goblin wearing black leather suit and has a short sword.

"Shit, too many goblins" Thinks Snide as he takes the pot on the rim.

"Nox, MOVE NOW." Shouts Snide. Nox gets up and runs after Snide, as Snide runs into the forest. An arrow hit Nox's back and brounces off her as she runs into the forest, making a ringing sound. Snide and Nox gets behind trees, dodging arrows and spears.

"We may have to fight back." Says Snide hiding behind a tree as an arrow hits it with Nox hiding behind another tree. The purple goblin jumps out of the bushes in front of Nox, swinging their short sword down at Nox. Snide steps out of cover and defends the attack with his sword. An arrow hits Snide's right lower leg, going through his leg's muscle. Snide drops onto his knee and blocks another arrow with his shield. Nox thrusts her knife at the purple goblin. The purple goblin jumps back into the bushes dodging the knife and disappearing into it. Snide moves back behind the tree and pulls out the arrow and throws it away while drinking the vial.

"We are surrounded." Says Snide after the wound healed. He looks around the tree, a spear flies millimeters from Snide's face, he moves back quickly.

"Nox, take the pot and vial and run, while I stay and keep them distracted or killed them, but keep an eye out for the purple goblin." Says Snide as he goes around the tree into the openning and blocks 2 arrows and a spear with his shield. Nox runs to the pot and disappears deeper into the forest leaving Snide alone with the goblins. Snide start rushing the goblins, keeping his shield in front of him. He blocks arrow after arrow while dodging the spears. Snide gets close to the goblins and thrust his spear into the brown goblin's chest, he makes the spear intangible making the goblin's body drop. The yellow goblins were on each side of Snide, with the white goblin in front of him.

"Shit." Thinks Snide as he blocks an arrow from the right side goblin, the left side goblin's arrow cuts across Snide's head. Snide throws his spear at the goblin on his right side and blocks the dagger thrust from the white goblin with the shield. Snide balls his left hand and punch the white goblin in the face, knocking them down. Snide blocks another arrow from the last standing goblin with the shield and start walking backwards towards his spear. He blocks each arrow, until he grabs his spear and makes it intangible. Snide rushes the last goblin with his shield in front of him, blocking the arrows. Snide gets close enough and thrusts the spear into the neck of the goblin.

"Good... all done... wait, where is... the purple goblin." Says Snide breathing heavily as he looks around while leaning on his shield.

"Hope, Nox is safe." Thinks Snide as he walks towards the white goblin. He picks up the white goblin by the their hands with his right hand and drags the goblin behind and start walking to the pond. The white goblin wakes up and starts to scream, Snide lifts up the goblin and headbutts, knocking out the goblin again.

"Better keep him quiet, until I get back to my cave." Thinks Snide.
