Cassius was happy to see Dren unharmed when he approached. "It is good to see you well. And... Comforting to see you come back." There was a slight smile forming at his lips. "Can you help me... deal with this wound...?" 

Before his question could fully get across to Dren, Hitori was on the prowl as he saw the slender being with his abnormally long limbs staring down at him. And to his surprise, he was the first to give him any full on medical treatment... And Cassius screamed out in Pain."A...ah.... Aghhhh!" He twitched his head left and right as he felt the vines invading his shoulder to get the pieces of shrapnel out. Tears were forming from the intense pain... Sure, it was just magic... But why was it being used to be do something so painful...? 

[i]"You're strong... There is no greater honor than expression. If you are pained, wear it well, if you're angered, wear it well. Your wrath will be the undoing of those that stand in opposition."[/i] Ifrit formed in his mind, there was... a sinister grin... Maybe it was due to the bestial nature of his imagination, maybe that is what limited his expression. But to him, Ifrit felt like a wrathful being... Just what sort of pact was he bound to...? 

As the healing procedure was open, he was breathing in and out. There was a type of salve Hitori applied before turning to face an encroaching danger. [i]"It...Was my fault... Wasn't it? If... I was quiet those... THINGS would not be here..."[/i] He shook his head as he saw Blank frown down at his pain. He drew his sword as he stayed at his side, lifting him to his feet, Cassius' right arm around Blank's shoulder where Dren handed him a healing potion of a sort. Though the potency was unknown, he decided to take his word and place his trust in his product. He took a breath as he slammed the opening to the cylinder to his lips, raising it to the sky with a tilt of his head. Truth be told... It wasn't the worst flavor in the world... But there were more ideal ones he rather be dealing with. 

"Thank you..." Cassius took a breath. 
"Don't think them yet, we are not out of the woods..." Blank readied his blade with his right hand as he saw the Goblins prowling around in a primal like fashion, crawling to the ground, throwing all their weight to move forward at Blank. Fortunately for Blank, he knew his way around a sword. Effortlessly, Blank beheaded the said primitive being. 

Cassius did take note of Dren's powerful White Frost that crushed a great many Goblins. 
"Hey, Ninja, I need you to make a choice, Left, or right... Going straight is completely suicide. And Back is just a wall for us to be trapped..." Blank spoke as he watched the wildlife drawing near. 

To the left... Was a more inwards passage through the trees, it seemed almost like a system. Where to the right was just darkness...
Where to Karn's right was a similar set of passage way system based on how the trees were lined up... 

"We go left..." Cassius spoke as he felt the effects of the many healing effects stacking up... He picked his helmet up as he somewhat moved on his toes. "Boooys. We are going to the left." 

In Karn's position, she handled the battle swiftly, and effectively with the Ex Soldier... But unfortunately for Randy and the Engineers, the Goblins were surrounding them. This would not be good if they didn't act fast...

On the Bridge, there was a recovering Garnet sitting up with Baku...
