Micky was now level 12, he gained a level from the bandits pushing him up to 10 and another from the rest of his travels, Luckily, while he still needed to tap a monster, he was no longer punished for his ‘poor showing’ in the party. Of course, other party members might grumble because he had basically no showing on the DPS rankings and thus, did not improve their own XP. Still it was at least excepted that non-combat classes had these skills to counterbalance their expected lack of DPS.

Apparently Micky had lost a little weight on his travels. That wasn’t a good thing, he didn’t know where or what he had lost! He didn’t have enough to lose any more!
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Squishy bopped him out of his revelations. Then she gave him a judging look. Micky looked aggrieved, it wasn’t his fault he was slowly wasting away!
Prin and Micky went to look through the loot. A lot of the valuables was taken by the runaway goblins, but they didn’t have much time. Actually goblins were one of the smarter low leveled creatures. They would bury most of their valuables to come back for later, so the only things they took were the surface valuables to make it look like the place was already looted so that adventurers wouldn’t look too hard. But goblins and kobolds were notorious magpies.
Micky and Prin looked around, taking sticks to trash piles to move the stuff away. Lucky for them they had the most notorious automated broom and mop available. This place would probably even become slime territory for a while since no self-respecting monster would take over a territory after goblins had been living there for a while.
This freed up Micky and Prin to search the other areas like the chief’s hut.
Warning Warning: Graphic content ahead!
Inside they found three half-naked girls. Micky and Prin Immediately went to untie them. Micky went to find clothes for their bottom halves once that was done. He knew what priorities were in a situation like this.
The three girls stretched like they had just gotten out of bed, to be fair, the floor was the chief’s bed, or at least the women on the floor. In the midst of searching for clothes, Micky found the breeding room where all the goblin eggs were kept. He mentally decided to torch the place after they were done.
He eventually found some cleanish things that they must have taken from a merchant after the bandits came through and took what they wanted. They weren’t actually clothes, but they could be wrapped around in skirts to protect what little dignity the girls had.
“So you find the guys yet?” Asked one of the girls.
“There are more of you?” Said Prin. She took the cloth from Micky and the girls took the cloth from Prin.
“Yeah, there were two dudes in our party.” The girl that was apparently the leader of the girls said, as the three circled around Micky. He looked away, the girls still hadn’t clothed themselves. So looking down didn’t help. He couldn’t look them in the eye right now so he stared up at the ceiling.
“Aw, look he’s shy!” Said the other human girl. This finally prompted the girls to put on their clothes. However, they did not stop surrounding Micky.
The leader of the girls said “Aw, now don’t be like that! There’s nothing to pity us for. We’re still women and nothing has changed that!” But not before grabbing Micky’s crotch. This prompted Prin to step in between the girls and Micky protectively. Micky, on the other hand, got very defensive. He didn’t know where to look or what to do, and hid his hands… over his boner. He felt so guilty over it.
“Why? Why are you doing this?” Said Prin.
“You mean why are we like this? Why aren’t we shook up about it and a crying wreck?” Said the leader. Prin nodded, not knowing what else to do.
“There’s not much to think about. I mean what am I supposed to do? Tell my boyfriend that I am now less of a woman and that he should go find somebody else? Fuck that, if anything I’m going to dump his sorry ass and find another guy because I’m bored with him. Sure, the first time I was all shook up about it. I cried for days. But the thing is you can either do one of two things in this situation. Either you cry about it for the rest of your life, or you keep going like nothing ever happened, no you use it as inspiration to kick those fuckers in the dick, and squish it flat.” Micky didn’t even think she realized she was doing just that to a [Dead] goblin right now.
They were already out of the house and moving over towards the guys before the blood field attracts more monsters. Though it will likely scare them away for some time, eventually some would get curious, especially when they don’t hear any fighting.
She continued on her tirade undaunted “No, I am not going to just cry about. If I was I wouldn’t recommend being an adventure. If you fail, you are going to die a horrible death. There are no other options. You saved me from being raped to [Dead] as a monster farm. The boys are in there are going to be fed to the goblins. This life is not a pleasant one. There are plenty of monsters out there that will rape you, boy or girl, and not in the ways you were expecting. Dryads, Orcs, Goblins, Succubi, they all want to rape the shit out of you. All you can do is pull yourself together and use every drop you have to survive. If you can’t take it, then don’t be an adventurer.” She said.
“You know little Miu Miu here has a human husband?” The leader of the girls pointed to the bird girl. “Their species are incompatible. She might as well be married to those goblins back there.”
“Hey, bitch! Don’t be dissing my husband like that!” Screamed Miu Miu.
“Sorry, sorry, but you get my point right?” She said pointedly flicking her eyes at the kids. Miu Miu looked mollified but still put out.
The leader continued “Actually in some ways the goblin and her are more compatible, hahaha. At least the gob bastards can put a little worm in her belly. No! They are adventuring because they want to get a talisman of transmutation from an alchemist, or at least one spell of living transmutation, so that they can make little chimera babies! No, if you let events rule you in this world you will break, and die horribly. You gotta pick yourself up and keep going. It’s why we don’t seem to care, though I will admit I am really pissed.” She finished.
Micky, Prin, and the girls they rescued from the chief’s hut entered into what was likely the shamans hut. It was the second biggest structure in the goblin village. They grabbed some basic herbs (Mostly the healing kind) as they moved through, still cautious that a goblin may not have died in the original attack.

They came upon the guys, hanging from meat racks, still alive. “Yo! Hear you outside, can’t really get the energy to call for help though. You think you can get us down?” wheezed one of the guys, raising his hand in greeting.
They immediately rushed over to get the guys off the hook. Pun not important right now.
“Thanks for that, got any water?” Asked the wheezing guy. The other ones eyes moved at the mention of water. Both Micky and Prin offered up their water to the two guys. The wheezing one reached up and grabbed the water. Miu Miu helped him drink. The other one reached out with the hand not ripped off. It was greenish and dripping pus around the wound.
When he noticed people looking at it he said “Yeah, some gob wanted a snack. So I gave him a hand. Hahaha!” The other dude smacked him on the back with his left hand. The one the other guy was missing. “Good one!”
“Yeah, I might need to get a loan you guys. I could probably get by with a tier 3 regen, maybe even be cheap about it and get it cast by a druid or something. But I’m going to need a bit of help, financially, and to physically clean this wound before it kills me. Somebody Mind chopping this thing off?” He said waving what was left of his forearm weakly.
The other girl, the quite human girl looked at the man worried. Probably his girl, on some stage of a relationship. “I’ll do it, but I’m going to need something to do it with.”
“I’ve got this broadsword, but it will need to be cleaned of ill humors first.” Prin said meekly. Even she, a former bandit wasn’t able to handle this ruff and rowdy crew.
“There’s some goblin swill the shaman was cooking up. Shits just as bad as the rest of the place, but if there’s one thing to be said about goblins is they know how to make a mean drink. It should be good enough for the job.” Said the other dude, the one with two hands.
Micky ran back to grab the swill. There was some that was already in a jug, easy to carry. He brought it back over. They poured out some of the swill onto the blade and monster parts came out as well. It was a muddy brown color, and smelled like a sewer and high proof alcohol mixed together. It probably was.
While they were waiting for the sword to be sterilized Prin asked “So what are your names?”
“That is a good question ain’t it?” Said the leader of the girls, and from the looks of it the group. “I’m Meril, you know Miu Miu, and that’s Sherry. This lug here-” She points to the now handless dude “-is Jeff, and that one there is Arny.”
“P-Prin.” Said Princess, not actually saying her full name. No need to get executed over Les Majest. Only nobles could be called Princess, and even then most weren’t named princess.
“Micky.”
“Alright, glad that’s over. Now on to the fun stuff, Jeff hold out your arm.” Having waited five minutes, the alcohol was going to kill off what it was going to kill off. Jeff complied and his girlfriend raised the sword. It was a bastard sword so she wasn’t exactly going to be accurate. But she quickly sliced off the green bits of his arm and a little bit more. Then before Micky could grab another piece of cloth to stop the bleeding with she ripped her skirt, leaving her half-naked again. She dipped it in the goblin swill and tied it tight around the arm till it wasn’t bleeding any more. Then she retied her skirt so that she wasn’t naked anymore. She didn’t even blink at the proceedings. Micky was a little glad that his pet slime wasn’t here to see any of it, despite her being a monster.
PG13 Cliff notes: Spoiler
The names of the adventurers are Meril the leader, Sherry the other human girl, Miu Miu the bird girl, Jeff is Sherry's boyfriend, and Arny is Miu Miu's husband. They found Jeff and Arny in the Shamans hut. Jeff lost his left hand.
“Well then, time to go I guess. Or no you guys were only halfway through looting weren’t you? Let’s finish that first then.” Said the Meril.
“No, we need to get you guys to safety!” Denied Prin.
“Nah, we’ll be fine, looting first.” Said Meril, the rest of her group nodded in agreement.
“Fine, there was some unfinished business in the goblin chief’s hut.” Said Micky.
“Ahh, I like your style.” Said Meril.
----------------------------------------
The group quickly looted and gathered up everything, and lit the goblin's chief's hut on fire after making sure that all the goblin eggs were [Dead]. Squishy had dug through all the piles of trash cleaning them up and making the goblin camp spotless for the next monster to come in and rent the place.
She had found a few small items like coins that added up to a few gold. There were a few other items that would need to be fenced first though. Then there were the items from the chief’s and the shamans huts that where of value. Of course the herbs that they no longer needed to collect. But also the ones they would be selling to the alchemist. But also there where a few things of note. There was a new staff in the goblins shaman hut. There was also an enchanted leather armor. There was a few pieces of bronze armor that was from the chiefs hut as well as a couple of bronze rings that were enchanted.
All told it was a pretty hefty sum that the other adventurers refused to take any part in. And I quote “Just get us safely home would be more then enough for us.” They had said. They had also said it was Adventurer guild code for the rescuing party to lay claim to anything that wasn’t the rescued parties gear. And that was only after they had gone back to the guild and verified that it had been registered. Which they couldn’t do here. They also told them that none of the enchanted stuff was theirs, but they pointed out which gear was theirs so that it could be brought back with the rest of the loot.
Prin and Micky then brought them back to the alchemist’s hut at their request. They wanted them to finish their quests first. Plus the alchemist could perform any first aid they would need before they went back. They alchemist didn’t mind too much and decided to give them what they needed. For the girls a small [Least Health Potion] and something called [Goblin’s Bane]. The guys both received [Lesser Health Potion]s.
Micky and Prin were going to pay for it but the alchemist refused. Prin especially refused Micky buying the goblin’s bane vehemently but she offered to pay herself, though she was refused as well.
Micky and Prin went off to fight some wolves. The adventurers telling them where a good spot for them was.
This fight was much quicker and cleaner compared to the goblin fight. Micky hit them with a [Mass Charm] and a [Mass Enrage] and Prin came in for cleanup. The alpha like the goblin chief had some battlefield supremacy spells but they proved mostly useless.
While it did prevent the wolves from attacking each other with the same ferocity as the goblins did, it did not prevent the main point of the spells, to distract the wolves until the main DPS could take them out. Of course Squishy also took some of the wolves down. She would not let him forget any time he retold the story…
Micky, of course, jabbed things with his new staff. He would take the sharp pointed manafied stone he had set into the top and use it like a spear. This didn’t actually kill anything but it did allow him to get on the DMG board and activate the system. It was another clean victory and they gained some wolf pelts to add to their loot.
When Micky and Prin arrived back at the alchemist’s shop the other adventurers were hail and harty. They decided it was time to go back to town and get a stiff drink. Micky and Prin did not argue.
----------------------------------------
When they went back to the gates the guards had a few questions. Even though apparently the goblins were not the primarily responsible party for this group of adventurers failing the guards had said that it was reason enough for a culling mission to be ordered on the blighters.
Micky and Prin had heard the story as they traveled back to the town. Apparently the adventurers where fighting a mana bear. This is an alpha predator that could take on that pack of wolves they fought by itself. Then they where chased off by a troll. But if that wasn’t enough, that was when the goblins struck them. Just when they thought they were safe from the troll the goblins descended as if it was timed and coordinated.
A chilling thought but luckily not accurate. The adventurers found no evidence that there was a higher authority then the chief in that goblin village. Of course this goblin village was just a forward raid group for more powerful villages hidden deeper and more securely in the forest. These villages would ‘buy’ whatever this raid group found. It was the only reason a goblin settlement would be so close to a races settlement.
