As Kayden rode off Aldrich shouted "AYE!!"  He the turned around and told Miri ,"Use that magic shield of yours to guard  my rear, and I will protect you."  After he shouted this he noticed movement to his left, and kicked the attacking goblin in the face.  He then blocked a thrown spear by the goblins and moved back to Miri.  As he was lashing out at one of the goblins, another one managed to get a cut on his right thigh.  "I also heard you mention something about healing magic.  That would be very helpful if you could do any of that."
