A yellow light faded and darkness came Elson was walking faster to look for a good camping spot because this place was the country of goblin and the forest was full of monster lurking at the night one must be carefull
Walking out through the thick tree roots they reach a path it was dark and our touch was the only light source unless one count the 2 moons
Smelling a awful stench Elson mood went downhill he even question if the smell was from his own breath or form George that hairy giant
"George are you responsible for that outrageous smell" you ask
"Pray, no! I am a man that release my fury with thunder not a coward who blame other"
Hearing what George said you started to question your own existence but as mage and seeker of knowledge you calm down and listen to your surrounding
But all you heard was frog and insect sometime a wolf cry
Not giving up you cast a low level spell
*enhance* Increase any senses by 5 time for 10)
I use enchance on my hearing, I heard the low breathing on my right side, thinking of all possibility and the result I use the easiest method to solve it
"It a ambush!!!" I shouted
Startled George jump from the ground like a rabbit on carrot , his chain armor jingling
Just after that out of the brush, rush several snarling goblins, there eye glowing green in the murky darkness. They charge with there wooden spear
With a word of arcane I send a bolt of raging fire to the leader of the charing goblins making him fall to the ground thrashing in fire
Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
George rush to the closest goblin hacking his head of, seeing this the 3 remaining goblin ran for the hill, whooping and yapping
They cry as they ran and was join with cry from all over the forest, a storm was coming this way too many goblins to fight toe to toe with
"Human meat are more delicious than wild boar" George comment sarcastly
Ignoring his comment and looking at the situation "A hunting party probably hunting for games"
Looking at the dead goblin on the ground, each of there head worth 10 gold coin in the city, better than a city guard make in a 2 months
Luckily they only needed the left ear of the goblin to get the coins
"Get the ear! Get the ear!" you exclaim as you pull out your razor-sharp dagger from your belt and started to slice the goblins ears off
For a secound, sometime your slow-witted warrior side kick doesn't undertsand , but as you started sawing the goblin ear he get the idea and pull out his own dagger
Soon I have a bloody ear stuff in my pocket and George has one of his own. Nasty! very.
However 10 gold piece, is 10 more piece of good quality ass in the black allery of the city. So am willing to take the hit
"So what now?"George ask
certainly there are excellent place to hide in the forest, if we could just make it untill morning ....?
"True, but the goblins may have dog with excellent sence of smell and their own sense is keen aswell," you said
"We might aswell climb a tree, that at lease might be defensible," George suggested
"you wish to be treed like a fox with barking underneath you nevertheless what if they put fire on are ass unless we can turn into a bird will be toast get it,"
"....what do you suggest than 'oh mighty magician' the great Elson!" Slight angry he sad
I didn't answer and paid no mind to George
"If we looking for a place that is defensible and have enough freedom at the same time, there a old castle on the north-east not that far from here we should hasten are self and fortified it," George said smiling
"But god know of what manner of creature live there? we be getting are self in a beehive of trouble," you said
After thinking about it "Castle Tao's he we come," I said after knowing my shame of not thinking of the castle before that hairy giant
Goblin call was heard all over the forest as the two of us dash through the forest, after 100 meter or so, were we found a fork in the road
The path to the left seem to be seldom use since weeds is growing into bushes over there and the path to the right is clear and could see firelight from afar, that way could it belong to goblins? or are we lucky? could it be another friendly adventurer team
