Chapter 49: (49) Clearing The Hobs (Cont.)

He managed to finish his creature off and went to sit down, leaning against the wall. "If that thing had hit me in the head, I would have died instantly." He looked at Geth while he was talking.

Geth nodded at him and cast Restoration again. "There is nothing safe about this, but it has to be done."

Farris looked at Filthy and Zolis who had no trouble dodging the attacks or causing damage. He knew that they were holding the three back.

If it weren't for them, Geth and his team could probably charge straight into the room without these tactics. His eyes shone with much more respect towards them.

Of course, Geth didn't miss the change. It was part of what he wanted, the people under him needed to know their place in the hierarchy.

With Geth's constant use of Restoration, Farris' leg healed completely within 5 minutes or so. Once everyone had a bit of time to rest, Geth headed back down the tunnel.

His goal was to whittle the numbers down by half, then drag the last half into the tunnel. This time, he managed to pull two again. The process went by much quicker than the first run.

Now it was time to drag the last five down, it wouldn't be as easy for the newbies. 'This will be an actual fight, I wonder how they'll hold up.' Geth mused.

He didn't bother peeking the corner again, striding right into the room like he owned the place. The sub-boss was the first to notice him, letting out a yell that shook the interior of the cave.

The last 5 of the Hobgoblins turned and started running towards him at once. Geth was relieved when he saw the sub-boss trying to move, it was completely stuck in place.

He turned and peeled down the hallway towards the others. This time, the others were spread further down the hall.

Geth skirted around his trap quickly, and this time kept running. Two of the beasts fell to the ground while the other three trampled over them.

Geth didn't stop or look back, Zolis and Filthy were waiting for him to lead the three further. They would take care of the ones confused and injured from the fall.

Once he'd crossed an adequate distance, he cast State Change to make one small puddle to trip up the Hobgoblin in the back. He kept running.

'Farris and Harris should have been following closely behind the group, they can handle that one.' Geth continued leading the last two down the hall, they were oblivious that their group was dwindling.

Once Geth was able to make out the light of the Dungeon entrance, he stopped and turned towards the last two. He quickly cast both Restoration and Corruption Aura.

The sudden flash of light blinded them momentarily, and they didn't notice Hulk jumping from the side and slashing at their calves. Geth already had a sword in his left hand and was doing the same to the opposing creature.

Hulk stepped back into the shadows by the time the creatures recovered. Geth moved in front of them, his back towards the opposing wall from Hulk.

Keeping their attention and aggro, he would create opportunities for Hulk to cause light damage from behind them. Each swing from one of their clubs would be blocked by Geth's staff or sword, causing minimal damage.

Between the 50+ damage attacks from Hulk and the constant damage from Geth's Aura and Reflection passive, they managed to bring one creature's HP to critical. As it dropped to its knees, Hulk jumped out and dealt a final blow to its neck.

Now that it was two on one, they stopped with the tactics and fought the beast head-on. Geth would continue to tank and hold aggro until Hulk managed to finally bring the beast down.

Geth walked up and patted the man on the shoulder. "You did a great job, it would have taken a long time for me to take them out on my own."

Hulk looked at Geth with a hint of reverence, there was no longer any doubt in his mind that he'd made the right decision to follow him. The man didn't have any issues taking hits from those two creatures, his blocks seemed almost casual.

Geth shook his head at the man's gaze. It wasn't that he didn't try, his facial expressions just naturally stayed the same throughout the fight. He couldn't keep his mask on while still concentrating on the battle.

The pair collected the beast's cores and headed back down the hall. They would collect cores along the way, and Geth had to cast Restoration on the brothers. He was satisfied with the light amount of wounds the two had sustained.

Soon, the party had come back together. They headed down the hallway towards the sub-boss.

The party stepped into the chamber. It was apparent from the surprised look on the Gourmand's face that it hadn't expected humans. The shock soon turned into a look of hatred when it realized that its minions had been killed.

Geth was the first to act, running at the obese creature before it could make a move. He had to make sure he maintained aggro, there was no telling what the beast was capable of.

As Geth got closer he realized just how monstrous the thing was. It was just as tall as the Hobgoblins and it was stuck sitting down. The Gourmand would probably be over 12' tall if it wasn't too big to stand up!

When Geth came within range of the creature, he took the initiative by activating Corruption Aura. The Gourmand quickly became enraged.

Its staff swung down at Geth like it was hitting a golf ball. He quickly used both of his weapons to block the strike.

Even with a perfect block, Geth couldn't stand steady. He slid back almost 5 feet and then had to roll back to stop the momentum.

:Geth; HP-872/930:

Regardless of the damage, he wasn't willing to back off.. There was no room for mistakes.
