Chapter 4: Adventure’s log -4.2

 

 

Tref quickly woke up from his slumber as he heard someone shouting, “EVERYONE ARM YOURSELVES” Tref quickly grabbed his shortsword and ran in the direction of the shouting, there he saw a squadron of goblins with a hobgoblin as their leader. The sound of swords clashing could be heard as Rimmel fought back against the hobgoblin.

 

Tref saw Rimmel and shouted “You’ve got this Rimmel, show that goblin who’s boss!” but as he shouted this a goblin suddenly appeared before him, the goblin was of a green variety, the goblin’s club was covered in what appeared to be dried out blood though Tref couldn’t tell for sure. A ‘shing’ could be heard as Tref drew out his shortsword, ‘I can do this right? I can kill a goblin right?’ Tref was visibly shaking from the sight of the goblin, the goblin swung down his club at the young half elf, Tref narrowly avoided the attack.

‘Come on Tref you can do it, you have got this’ although visibly shaking from the last attack the young half elf had a look of determination in his eyes, he held onto his shortsword and swung at the goblin, the goblin stepped backwards and counterattacked by hitting Tref in the stomach. The goblin swung again but missed narrowly.

 

‘I-i can’t do this, I can’t! I need to run I need to run’ the determination that was in his eyes mere moments ago had all but vanished and was replaced by a fearful expression, just as Tref was about to run away Malabo appeared and chanted ‘entangle’, the goblin was slowly being entangled by thick wooden roots, Malabo stared at the goblin is disgust and tightened the roots around the creatures neck “Greee gree Gree-” the goblins neck was snapped and the roots gradually dissipated. 

 

“Tref, are you okay??” Malabo hugged Tref tightly trying to comfort the young half elf, “y-yeah” was all the half elf could say, ‘I could have died then, I could have seriously died, if not for Malabo I would have…’ Tref hugged Malabo tightly, she patted Tref lightly on the head and said “all will be okay dear”. 

 

The moment was interrupted when Rimmel shouted “A little help here Malabo, you can have your moment later but please help me!” Rimmel was being pushed back by the hobgoblin, all he could do was parry the creatures attacks and hope to counterattack, “Kreeeeee!” the hobgoblin screamed in excitement, its eyes locked onto Rimmel. 

 

“Tref I’m going to need your help, I will entangle the goblins and you will kill them, okay?” Tref although still shaken from his earlier experience nodded in agreement, ‘entangle’ two goblins were quickly entangled by thick tree like roots, Tref who was slightly shaking pierced the shortsword into the first goblins throat, “GREE GREE GREEE!” the second goblin panicked after witnessing such a site however he too was quickly silenced by Tref’s quick stabbing.

“Youngin and Mala, I need some support over here!” Balagor was currently being attacked by arrows from two goblins, he was trying his best to deflect them with his large warhammer but he had still sustained some minor injuries, Malabo quickly located the goblin archers and proceeded to entangle them, “Tref quickly finish them off!”

 

The shaken half elf walked up too the restrained goblins and once again stabbed right into them, green blood gushing out of them as he did, he had failed to deliver a swift blow to the second goblin archer “KREEEEE KREEE GREEEEEEEE!!” the goblin screamed out in pain but Tref stabbed the goblin again and again and again, his mental stake still shaken from the earlier encounter. 

 

“Tref, TREF!” The young halfling now covered in goblin blood finally regained his senses after Mala shouted at him, Tref looked on in horror at what he had done, the goblins face was now deformed, its body a mushy mess from all the stabbings. Malabo ran over to Tref and just looked at him in shock, ‘Was bringing him along really the right thing…’

 

Rimmel was no longer on the defensive, after the hobgoblin had seen what had happened to his comrades it had attempted to retreat however with Balagor now aiding him the hobgoblin stood no chance, Rimmel slashed downwards towards the creature and continued to press his advantage, he would swing downwards then horizontally, his slashes seemed more like a dance at this point, the hobgoblin attempted to evade them however with Balagor right behind him he had no place to retreat too.

 

“Hiyahhhh!” With one final thrust the hobgoblin was killed with a swift strike to the heart, the piercing blade being bloodied by the hobgoblin's remains. 

 

“Mala, how's the kid holding up?”
“Rimmel, He’s not doing so well, the shock of it all has gotten too him”

Balagor chimed in with “Mala,take him away from this mess, we’ll clean it up and get the mana crystals, can you guys check on the merchant and the others?”

Malabo nodded and held Tref’s hand as they walked away from the gruesome scene.
