Heading out to find some fiends /// Day 4 // Morning
The other goblin that was running around didn’t seem to want to speak to them too much and keep to himself. O well, there wasn’t much Gird could do about that he just hoped the goblin was managing on his own. The others had joined up with him after a little while giving him some time to put a few sticks with leaves on them. Sure it made him look silly but it also made him look like a pile of dirt with sticks in it, more of an experiment out of boredom than anything.
The walk to the large tree was rather uneventful. Apparently the scent of the alpha still lingered around as other rabbits hadn’t moved into the area yet. He did eat the last bit of blue berries he had with him while he walked. Offering one or two to the others that followed him. Still, the sight of the tree through the bushes made his heart race just a little. The thought that he wouldn’t find his friend did linger in his head or that he might only find pieces of her.
As he cleared the last bit of brush into the small opening, he breathed a sigh of relief. Goblin Luz was sitting against the tree and it looked like she had fallen asleep. She was alive at least, he could see her chest moving slightly with her breathing. Gird approached her slowly but stood out of reach in case he startled her. That last thing he wanted was to get stabbed. “Hey! Hey Luz!” he yelled at her to get her up, “Glad to see you made it through the night.” Gird couldn’t help but smile at his friend.
When the rescue party came to the tree Luz was napping peacefully against it with a makeshift spear in handmade out of the Thick branch, vines, and a horn of a rabbit. Yet she looked kind of relaxed, Mostly cause she didn't plan on falling asleep it just sort of happened when she closed her eyes for a bit, if she did plan on falling asleep she would have been more vigilante as she napped perhaps wakening as the group came but because she wasn't...
“Hey! Hey Luz!”
"Ahh!" She yelled raising her head, sitting up and moving her spear in front of her. She then looked around in a panic wondering what was going on in her half-asleep state. After finding out that this wasn't a dream Luz then stood up before answer. "Of course i survive. I Wouldn't have endangered myself like that if i didn't have a backup plan." She told him sounding somewhat prideful while at the same time her face was as red as a tomato after putting on such a display in front of him and two other members.
She then begins swiping the back of her legs clean before regaining her composer and looking at the other guys. "May i ask who are these two?" she asked in a polite matter.
After introductions most of the journey to the meeting place Gird wanted to check out happened in silence, allowing Zats to focus on looking for signs any nearby rabbits. Unfortunately either his worries distracted him, he was bad at looking for tracks or there were no rabbits nearby, as he found nothing.
Eventually the three of them arrived at a large tree which obviously was Gird's destination as not only did he start yelling someone's name, but the biggest clue was the Goblin sleeping next to it. Zats made sure to remember the tree's location as he had no doubt Gina would want to climb it if she knew about it's existence.

the goblins soon found each other and when the female goblin luz woke up she was greeted by the sight of the rescue party coming to see her. The goblin was able to meet up with each other and greet themselves once more for the sake of goblin Luz however they still had one more person to worry about. They were still searching for the other female that went off last night to explore. While they did not have tracks of her footprints to follow they did have something. Once Zats lead to where they last saw Gina they would notice a large number of leaves on the forest floor from when she kept jumping, it created a sort of path for them to follow allowing them to look for her if they moved quickly before the winds picked up to blow the trail away.
The lone goblin was soon searching for the orange berries and it wasn't all that hard to find them. He needed only look where he saw red berries as they generally grew close to each other. Once he had them and brought them back to goblin Grandpa he took them and squeezed them until the juice came out on the now grounded herbs and started to mix them together. It didn't take much longer for him to get the herbs and berries to turn into a thick kind of paste. He put the solution into a stone bowl and handed it to him. "Apply it to the young ones wound and make sure they don't walk on the bad leg. They could get back safely, it will sting when it is first applied but after a moment it will dull the pain" Grandpa explained gesturing for him to go and bring the young one back

Heading out to find some fiends >>> at the alpha's hideout /// Day 4 // Morning
Luz’s quick reaction to defend herself with the spear did make the young goblin step back for a moment before smiling at her. She seemed alright if not a little tired, he hoped she didn’t mind that he brought the others with him. He couldn’t help but giggle slightly as she seemed to be slightly embarrassed by her reaction. “What these two?” Gird glanced behind him at the other two before gesturing towards them respectively. “This ones Goblin Zats and the quiet one in the back is Goblin Grit. We thought we would make our way out here and come find you then go find Zats friend. She didn’t come back last night either.”
Gird took a moment to look around and listen, again the last thing he wanted was to get ambushed by some unseen predator. “So you want to come with us? We were going to find some food on our way to the last place Zats here saw his friend.” He again looked back to Zats and smiled, “which means were going to follow you for a bit.” A quick glance back to Luz to hear her answer and add one more thing, “that is if you want to come and I don’t need to carry you?” the last part was mostly to poke fun at her.
Luz then frowns and stay silent when she heard that one of the goblins didn't make it back. "Well for her sake, i hope she didn't come across with the howling beasts from last night." Luz told them looking a bit worried as she wonders they were going to end up retrieving a body rather than a living person. Luz then turns to the groups. "In any, I apologize for causing you guys such trouble," Luz told the group humbly.
Gird then offered her the chance to join their group but not without teasing her by suggesting that she will need to be carried. "Pfffff, As if!" Luz remark to his last comment with a warm smile on her face. "But very well i will join you guys in your search for the other goblin it is the least i can do." She told the group. She then turns to the short stack know as Zat. "By the way, if you need a weapon there some branches of this tree right here that are better then the ones you can find around the cave." Luz told him before pointing to the hole in the tree. "Unless of course, you think you can kill prey with your bare hands." Luz told him calmly, not even trying to be sarcastic as she was truly wondering if he could do it.
The lone goblin was soon searching for the orange berries and it wasn't all that hard to find them. He needed only look where he saw red berries as they generally grew close to each other. Once he had them and brought them back to goblin Grandpa he took them and squeezed them until the juice came out on the now grounded herbs and started to mix them together. It didn't take much longer for him to get the herbs and berries to turn into a thick kind of paste. He put the solution into a stone bowl and handed it to him. "Apply it to the young ones wound and make sure they don't walk on the bad leg. They could get back safely, it will sting when it is first applied but after a moment it will dull the pain" Grandpa explained gesturing for him to go and bring the young one back
Arch was glad it wasn't too hard to find the berries and took note of how they were grouped. Blue and yellow, red and orange. Blue for eating, yellow for not-eating (maybe they were poisonous and that should be asked, later), red for something unknown and orange for medicine. Then there were the herbs, but if he had those and the orange berries he could probably emulate Goblin Grandpa.
He took the stone bowl carefully and quietly listened to the instructions. He gave Grandpa a nod, "Alright, I'll be bringing her back safely." He ended up leaving the branch by the cave's entrance, he could likely get another one, and he had the rabbit horn after all. If something came, he could stab it.
Though he was pacing himself, he was still moving as quickly as he could. Which wasn't all that fast, considering that he was making sure nothing fell off the bowl. Eventually, however, he did reach the church.
Gina was outside relaxing and feeling the cold breeze of the air flowing through the grass. She was still waiting as she takes a blueberry and eats it and takes another one for her cute pet. It wasn’t what they wanted but, it was what they needed as their lost strength from before starts to go back to them. She sighs the stinging pain still lingering and her help taking his sweet time to her.
After a few minutes of waiting she then sees the image of something green getting close to her and from the looks of her pet hissing and adopting an aggressive stance as the previous goblin from before comes with a bowl full of mysterious gloo gets closer and closer to her. She sighs but later waves as her hands still sitting from the same spot as before. Urging him to get closer to her.
Arch walks closer before saying, "I managed to get you some salve for the wound. It should help numbing the pain, but it might sting a bit when it is applied." He pauses for a moment as he held the bowl, "Would you prefer to apply it," The goblin asks with some hesitation before looking at Gina's knee, "Or should I apply it?" He looks at her thoughtfully.
She smiled as she sees the ointment first hand, it had a rather nauseous scent to it but, nothing too unbearable. But, the rabbit was rather untrusting of the goblin that was and by the looks of it might attack if he gets too close to her master. “It might be best if I do it.” She answers fearing the retaliating of the rabbit if he was to apply it to her knees.
She rewardingly pats the rabbit as she finds it cute that it was protecting her and making sure that she was safe and sound but, the rabbit pecks. ” Thank you for your help.” She says giving thanks to the young man. She grabbed a handful of it and started putting on the wound spreading it afterwards to cover all of it. She quickly blows at her wound- puffing it with air as the stinging sensation that she was promised came. The rabbit wasn’t too happy with her master’s reaction quickly pointing his horn at him hissing and was almost about to charge until Gina stopped her, she hisses for the final time before she goes onto the side of her master trying to comfort her.
Grateful for the gesture and his help Gina gave the man a blueberry for her initial payment. ” Thank you for your help. Is there anything I can do to help you?” She asks wanting to give back something in return.
Arch smiles back as he likely completely ignoring the rabbit, staying as far as he could from it while speaking with her. He gives the rabbit a brief glance, "...I can see why." He holds the bowl so that Gina can get hold of some of the ointment. "But you are welcome," he replies with a small bow of his head.
When the rabbit points its horn towards him, he frowns staring at the rabbit and slowly putting the bowl down besides Gina, where she could still get some of the ointment without him holding it. Immediately after, he steps back before sitting down. Even dropping the rabbit body... which is mostly intact save for a leg, besides himself. At least, he is having enough sense to not eat the rabbit... besides the living rabbit.
Happy with Gina's response (and the blueberry), Arch smiles holding his hand out to accept the blueberry and eating it, "You are welcome and thank you," He then scratches his head a bit as he looks at Gina, pondering on how to properly answer what he wants, "Well. The story of the hurt knee and nice things inside the mysterious place there," He points at the church, the part where he wants a room and future benefits, he can leave for later.
She looks back and thinks for a while to know the right words to say or start off the story and after a brief post she starts it off. “Hmm… lets start with the beginning then.” She says as she sits down and places her feet where it was comfortable. “I got lost here after a certain someone that I might or might not hit later didn’t bother to go with me… after searching for the new great adventure I stumbled upon this place at night and I dropped my pet here near it.” She starts off wanting to start from the beginning patting her rabbit when it was referring to it and point just a bit from their location to where she had dropped her at.
After that, I grabbed her and suddenly skeletons with swords like this came pouring and digging themselves from the ground.” She continues to tell her story as she points at the graves behind her and her sword. “I was afraid so I locked myself and Nene inside, thankfully the skeletons can’t break down the door and couldn’t get in.” She says as she gestures to the door and a few more body gestures to show how scared and frightening they were.
“After inside, I’ve found these three artifacts inside, short story short I prayed for someone to save me and the eternal mother saved me, got me this wonderful friend and now I’m in a mission to find new followers of the nice mother.” She explains making it brief to get his attention deciding to keep him in the dark with the facilities in the place of worship and wanting to see his reaction as she pats the head of her beloved pet.
Archene listens attentively, only glancing away from her when she pointed to a place or another. "Hmm... How many skeletons?" He pondered briefly before asking, "And tell me more about the artifacts and... who is the eternal mother?" The goblin looked a bit more puzzled than anything in regards to the later.
” Oh the eternal mother is Shirila and she represents life but, it might be better for you to take a look or speak to her yourself.” She cleverly says not wanting to tell what she doesn’t need to and dismissing the other questions about the skeletons with saying. “Alot.” She replies with a small playful giggle.
She looks to him as she though that he was as good as any to become the second servant of her goddess. She grins as she plans her sales pitch to get him to become a follower. “Right inside that building hold many secrets and power, of course as the first disciple of the eternal goddess, I have the right to give you access to the knowledge stored within its walls but, you have to become a follower and you must pray to the goddess every day and you will promise me to uphold the balance of this forest with your life.” She says as she stands up her rabbit readying herself to strike the first instances of malice from the man, while her masters use the rusty sword as an improvise support and a means of intimidation to the young goblin showcasing to him that she won’t be a pushover.
"Oh," Arch briefly says before humming, "That complicates things a bit... Maybe we could dig one out while they are buried to fight one by one... I don't think it'd be safe to live here with them around. As for Shirila, I'll ask her later." He nods.
Arch's eye of discernment is nearly null as he even fails to notice the intimidation, standing up briefly after unfazed and still holding the... rabbit corpse dangling as it has been for a long while already. "By upholding the balance of the forest, what do you mean?" The young goblin ponders quietly. If it wasn't anything too bothersome, it would be a good payment for the vague secrets and the power. Power is never anything too bad to have.
"I hope the leg is a better now though," He nods sagely after Gina stands up. Even if she has support, she does seem to be fine enough for now.
She was happy that no fighting ensued between the two and she rather avoid that if possible she then replied with an eager “Yep, I’ll be waiting then.” Afterwards though about his plans of taking the skeleton out right now but, sighs with the idea. Thinking that it wouldn’t be fun or worth it “Mep, it wouldn’t be fun but, I’m up for taking a look at their grave stones and reading their names. She answers grinning.
“Yep I have no I idea.” She answers regarding your question about upholding the balance. “But, thank you for your concerns.” She ends waiting for his answer.
Why would there even be a fight? He could have poisoned the ointment, but it could even have worked. However, Goblin Arch had been as honest as one could! Then there is the matter on, how to speak with Shirila... and certainly ask her about this 'forest balance' thing.
Before anything else though, "..read?" He asks briefly with a small tilt of his head, "It could be good enough to spend a while to rest, I did run too much. Then I can eat, hunt a last rabbit. And then, you should get back to the cave. So that Grandpa can have a look at your knee." He nods a few times.
“Nope I have to stay here not until I can find someone to switch with me. She answers with him saying about making grandpa take a look but, honestly she though with the pain slowly creeping away that her knee just needed time to rest. She then started moving still using the big sword as support to prevent her from straining her foot too much.
“I took out one of them so can you help me find where his grave was.” She asks as she started limping onto the ground, careful not to use her broken foot too much to avoid unnecessary injuries in the future. Searching for the grave that was compared to the other dug or isn’t filled.
"Not like the building will walk away. Unlike the skeletons." He sighs before nodding at Gina, "Alright alright, let’s find it, but then I must properly eat and hunt today." He nods again, before following her as she starts her search.
She laughs as the man frustratingly agrees, as they wander off to where the skeleton’s grave was at. As the two moved around her pet stayed closely behind her master keeping an eye out for whatever trickery and bad intent this new goblin had for her master. In times it gives a little bit of time to look behind and look at the goblin. While her friend continues on without a care in the world.

While Zats was confused why the unknown goblin thought he was unarmed, he took her up on her offer. "Thanks." None of the branches seemed to make for a good replacement for his spear though, as they were either too short to give him the range he wanted or too heavy to swing around easily. He did appreciate the offer though.
With Gird's friend found and introductions out of the way, it was time for Zats to show where he saw Gina last. Hoping she wouldn't be too upset about him revealing what she wanted to be a private spot he guided them to the tree.
The journey took a bit longer than was strictly necessarily due to Zats taking a wrong turn about halfway, but before too long they passed the tree stump with the baby rabbits. He made sure not to point it out in case one of the others wanted an easy meal.
From there it was a short trip to the tree where he noticed a trail of leaves leading in the general direction of where he remembered Gina running. "See those leaves? I think my hunting partner might have left them yesterday."

As the two talked they walked to the back of the church to find themselves at the graves. They turned to see that 11 graves looked freshly made with turned soil standard grave markers. However, one of the graves was empty and one more grave was there however that one looked like the grave hasn't been dug up since it was laud down with grass already appearing over it. The grave marker was also different and was a stone cross making it different from the others. It seemed that one of them was lucky enough not to be brought back as one of the skeletons. It was strange that all but one of the graves was brought back to life. Her bunny Nene quickly went over to the grave and felt relaxed compared to the other graves.
As zats found the path they started to follow the path. They son found that down the way they saw fewer and fewer bunnies near the church. Clearly the animals of the forest avoided where they were going. Soon enough they found themselves at the church and while it looked normal from the outside simply taking to Gina will help them understand why it was avoided.
Grit followed along with the group for a short time, not finding a suitable stick to use as a weapon along the way like the others. Soon enough they came upon a clearing of sorts, and against a tree lay a goblin, girl. At first he thought her dead, but the rise and fall of her chest let him know that she was sleeping.
Gird called out to her and she woke up, giving herself a fright and making an entertaining display before she realized they weren't other creatures. She covered up her embarrassment as best she could before asking for Grit's and Zat's names. Right as he opened his mouth to answer, Gird spoke up on their behalf. Even going so far as to leave Zats no real room to speak either.
Some more talking, and then a confusing comment from Luz. Both he and Zats were confused a bit by the goblin not noticing the spear. That aside, they both went to to the tree and searched inside, in turn. While Zats didn't seem to find anything, Grit took hold of a decent sized branch, one he could hold in one hand, or both if he wanted.
Once everyone was set, it was Zats' turn to lead the way. At some point, though, Zats had taken a wrong turn and they had to double back to get on the right path, which made the trek longer than it should have been. Yet, it wasn't all that upseting, since they were still learning the layout of this forest.
Finally arriving at there destination, Zats pointed out a trail of leaves on the ground, thankfully the wind hadn't blown them away. Deciding for himself that the leaves were their best lead, Grit immediately started following them. it didn't take long for them to find themselves at a large building, and church. He hadn't failed to notice the increasingly sparse numbers of rabbits as they got closer, whech in turn made him a little uneasy.
At the alpha's hideout >>> Searching for one more friend /// Day 4 // Morning - Afternoon
Gird couldn't help but smile at his friend. He did feel a little bad for speaking for the others, but he didn't think they really minded too much. Or at least they didn't say anything. Gird moved to the tree line and kept a watchful eye into the forest waiting for the others to take what they wanted from the burrow before proceeding after the next goblin.
He noticed Goblin Zats took the lead back into the forest trying to find where they once were. Gird decided to take up the rear while talking quietly to Goblin Luz, “those howling beasts you spoke of where probably the wolves Goblin Grandpa spoke of. he said they come from the west but travel east at night to hunt. You and me could take one or two on at one time, but he said they always travel in packs.” He continued to keep his voice low enough so it wouldn't travel but loud enough, so she could hear.
“He also said to the south-east are vipers, snakes bigger than us. then to the north-east are spiders. Both vipers and spiders are venomous, so we would have to be careful. The last thing he said about the creatures around here are bats to the north that stay in the trees to avoid the sunlight. Didn't get much else out of him other than the farther away from the cave we go the more dangerous it gets.” Gird slowly became quieter as they proceeded through the forest.
Before long and after taking a wrong turn they came to another large tree. Zats pointed out a trail of leaves on the floor but this time it was Goblin Grit that took the lead. By the looks of the branches above them it looked as if something had been moving through the trees. “The old man did speak of something else too. He spoke of god's and goddesses. He told us there was a god for everything from washing your clothes to hunting and life and death. The three ones he focused on though or what he called the three main ones are the god Ramos, goddess Duvelna, and the goddess Shirila.” pausing for a moment to keep an eye on his surroundings. After all, to him this was all new territory.
It was a bit strange to him though, he noticed that the tracks and animal trails seemed thinner if they were there at all. “So you know Ramos, is the god of the sun and all that is light I guess, I honestly don't understand it too much. Apparently he gives us the sun. Then there is goddess Duvelna who is the goddess of death and darkness. She gives us the moon. Then there is the goddess Shirila who apparently is the god of earth, nature, and life.”
He realized he might be getting a little long-winded, so he quieted down a little. However, his attention soon turned to a stone wall and then the following tall stone structure. It looked old and untouched almost as if it was abandoned nearly immediately. Grit was the first to speak up, something about how to find a goblin here. With a smile Gird looked at him, “only one way to find out.” not knowing what to expect Gird gripped his branch in hand and yelled, “Hey! Any goblins around here?!”
As the pet quickly settled on top of the strange grave. She quickly felt that it had an comforting vibe to it that unlike the skeleton before held a more safer or a sense of security as she sees her pet’s reaction with it. She then looks to her companion, grinning as she steps out and examines the uncovered grave, obviously the one she slain yesterday inside the church. She claps her hand as she bows down.
“Please Shirila guide him.” She quickly prays her heart at eased as the once cursed creature has now been put to rest. As he sees the little rabbit just going over to the grave, he lets out a quiet sigh... but then looks over at Gina asking, "Is that how you, speak with Shirila?" He looks over at the dug up grave, "Do you think that there is anything left in there?" He glances at Gina's sword thoughtfully. It'd be good to get something better than the branches he can find here and there, or the horns... since they are as small as they are. She looks to him with his sudden question and lets out a lonely smile. “For now yes.” She answers her tone that of some sorrow. “Well, if you want to you can try to get yourself one of these.” She suggests to him as she points at the graves. “You are welcome to but, I have to warn you that this couldn’t go well.” She says as she pets her rabbit letting him decide what he wants to do. In answer to that, he gives her a chuckles followed by a light smile, "Unless you think I'd be able to beat it with a dead rabbit, I don't think I am qualified for the fight right now." He sighs, "And it'd be wrong to dig up the one that isn't a skeleton," or at least, he assumed that the undisturbed one wasn't a skeleton, "It is resting and won't bother us, so it should keep resting."
With that though, he only looked a bit closer at the empty grave, who knows maybe there was something still in there, that wasn't a skeleton. She laughs due to his reaction. “That's what I thought before I took one down.” She says a overflowing optimism present in her voice. “You won’t know unless you try it but, you can always pray to the eternal mother if you need better guidance.” She retrouts as she hears the a faint scream from the side of the church.
“Hey do you hear that?” She asks as she sticks out her head trying to see if she can hear them more. Arch chuckles along, "As long as I ready myself properly, there shouldn't be a problem. I don't think anything can fight too well after breaking its legs." He grins slightly, but as he hears... a voice? Voices? He reaches for the horn he is carrying and wields it. He looks towards the corner he thinks those with the voices may come. Who knows, they might be aggressive. Seeing the goblin readying himself for a fight as he waits to see if the assailants were hostile or not. Gina quickly goes to him as she pats him in the back. “So what do you want to do?” She asks seeing the small horn his been gripping like a dagger.
The rabbit seeing her master and ‘friend’ make an defensive or cautious move it quickly makes its way to the corners and peeks from the corner not seeing anything but, hearing the same faint voices as before but as time goes by grows in strength as time goes by. “If hostile, we fight. If not, we don’t. If they end up being too strong, we can run towards the cave. Might hurt your leg a bit, but we should be able to do it.” Arch sighs quietly, as he feels the situation growing tenser as the voices come closer. He couldn't even attempt to hide, else if things went badly he might really have thoughts of leaving alone.

Zats decided to join Gird in his yelling, counting on the fact that two Goblin's might be easier heard than one. He made sure to create some distance between him and the others in case Gina or anyone was just too far to hear the yelling. He did make sure to stay in their line of sight in case they attracted unwanted attention from something."Gina are you there?! It's me Zats! He was sure it wouldn't hurt her to let her know that he was among those looking for her as a sign she could trust them.

At first she wasn’t sure that it was Zat until he yelled out once more. This made her happy as the man she wanted to see was nearby which was really visible how happy she something she didn’t displayed before. So she started moving going out of her cover. ”I’M HERE ZAT!” She screams out as he makes his way to them.

As the group marched through the forest following Goblin Zats Goblin Gird told her about what he learned last night. Apparently, those beasts she hid from last night are called wolves and apparently they always hunt in packs. So right now taking on such fearsome beasts alone was a pipe dream. However, there was plenty of creatures to hunt in this forest including vipers and spiders that are venomous as well as bats. On another note, Zats seemed to have got them lost, not a good first impression on his part but at least in doing so, they found a clue on the lost goblins whereabouts.
Now it was time for Grit to lead the group as they walked she notice the animal tracks but didn't say anything for right now she was quietly judging his leadership. This Grit guy was not much of a talker so she didn't know his plan but apparently he wanted to focus on finding the lost goblin first, at least that what she was hoping his plan was. Meanwhile, Gird told her about the god including the three main ones named Ramos, Duvelna, and Shirila that created everything including the ground she was now walking on.
"Wow, you were sure learned a lot last night." She commented him with a calm but slight disappointed look on her face. Damn Gird had got so far ahead of her while she was hiding out in a tree. If she knew that there was no reward worth the risk then she would have turned in back to the cave when she had the chance, now...she was going to have to work harder to get back ahead of him. On the other hand, Luz now know that he seems to care about her since the first thing he did with his leadership was have the group find her. to be honest that made her respect him.
After a few minutes of walking the group finally came across a building, the ringed the name church. Grit then said
"How will we search for her here?"
which Luz replied. "Well this seems like a good place to start, she would have had to hide somewhere during the night if she wishes to remind save of the wolves." Luz reminded them. Gird then called out for anyone out there but no one answered him...That didn't seem good. Luz was about to quietly move to the front door of the church while Zats called for the lost goblin which was finally answered by what seem to be who they were looking for.
It seems who answer was behind/on the side of the church. So Luz then looked around to see two Goblin and a horned rabbit near some graves. "There she is." she yelled out to her group. "and there seems to be a horned rabbit near her." She pointed out. "Do you need help killing it?" She asked the other female with a spear in hand, her desire to draw the blood of the rabbit was quite clear.
Yup, she probably found the one that was looking for her. But seeing more than one Goblin coming around, and one of them even offering to kill Gina's pet didn't quite make it easy for the goblin wielding the rabbit horn to relax.
Goblin Arch seriously looked at the little rabbit on the ground and then ahead at Gina, and even further towards Luz.
Searching for one more friend >>>> Heading back out into the forest /// Day 4 // Morning - Afternoon
Gird waited for a little while, staring at the structure before him while listening to the others. He wasn’t all that interested in exploring that place just yet. All he really wanted was to know its location, and they could come back to it later in the day. Not only that, but his instincts were starting to get to him. For reasons the goblin couldn’t explain he felt like he was being watched. But not by a predator the presence felt more inquisitive but seemed stronger than he was. This feeling was making him uncomfortable and it was beginning to show on his face as he rubbed his index and middle fingers against his thumbs, a nervous habit perhaps.
He had to admit he did look a little strange compared to the others, he was covered in mud and a few sticks and leaves, the others still seemed to have their loin clothes with a few other items. However, he did notice rabbit horns on a few of the branches the others carried. They all seemed to be coming up with the same weapons while still being independent of each other. Still, there was a tension in the air he couldn’t shake. The goblin they apparently were looking for had appeared around the corner of the structure and was with the loner goblin from earlier.
She seemed alright other than a possibly injured knee, the other goblin seemed to be wary of them for some reason. He couldn’t help but notice the small rabbit that seemed to be hanging out near a grave as well. Such a strange occurrence for it to not run or try to defend itself from the goblins. “Must be poisoned or stupid, maybe injured.” He thought noticing the dug up grave near them as well. This place was strange and he still felt off.
The gurgle in his abdomen reminded him he had not eaten very much this morning and decided that since the others had been reunited there was no reason for him to stay here still. He was hungry and was sure the others would be as well. This place seemed sturdy enough to weather the elements for so long it could probably be a good place to set up camp if he could only shake that weird feeling in the back of his head.
He did find himself ignoring the others for a moment before Goblin Luz spoke up about the rabbit. He could see it in her eyes. That need to kill. Honestly he was tempted to do the same but didn’t think it would be a challenge since it was already friendly. “Come on Luz lets leave them to their catch, there is no need to be greedy. That and it looks like that one wouldn’t be too much of a challenge.” He turned and started back towards the forest, “we will be back in a little while hopefully with enough food for everyone.”
He wasn’t doing it out of kindness, the others seemed more than capable. However, they were stronger together, and he was sure the others were getting hungry as well. It didn’t seem to be a bad idea to send out a few hunters this early in the day to gather berries and meat. The others could explore the building and get comfortable with the area. He wouldn’t say no to whoever else wanted to join them, but he would still wait for a brief moment for Goblin Luz before he moved out. This also allowed him to scout out the nearby forest and possibly find more resources and secrets.
As the girl offered her a hand in killing her pet and her partner saying to lay off. Gina chuckled as her rabbit starts hissing. And in an moment to confused and surprise them Gina picked up the rabbit and put her on to her head. Her pet still hissing and acting aggressively at the new found people and giving the girl a fluffy horned helmet in return. As she stabs the ground with her rusty sword, the way it looked is that she was like a knight now, a naked one at that as her clothes are still no existent and her only clothing is the hissing aggressive hat she has on. Smiling proudly or weirdly at the potential new disciplines in front of her.
“ZAT I HAVE A PRESENT FOR YOU!” She shouted urging him to come near her as she forms a fist behind her back. “I REALLY WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING GREAT!” She follows up with a suggestive smile. A hint of anger in her eyes while clinging to her sword that lunged into the ground as support. Of course this was clearly obvious and visible to the goblin behind her.

Luz then gave the female goblin an odd looked when she picked up the rabbit and place it on her heads WHILE IT WAS HISSING AT THE GROUP! Luz though the female was going to get attacked for sure but for some reason the rabbit left her be. How this female does it was an an...interesting mystery that snapped her out of her bloodlust. She actually did a silence clap for the female now watching to spook the rabbit on her head. "Bravo!" Luz told her she now admires the girl's bravely after performing such a task, so as a sign of respect she decided to leave the rabbit be, for it fate was now in the hands of its owner.
Afterwords Luz then joins up with Gird for the next hunt. it was at this point Luz's stomach was practically roaring for she hasn't eaten since this morning, not to mention she was also tired yet she soldier thought it in order to look tough in front for her fellow goblins for a future Leader could not look weak in front of their future subjects. "Ready to go?" She asked Gird and who joined there hunt with her signature warm smile.
Never even considering that Gina might hurt him or something Zats saw no reason not to check out what she wanted to show him, the way she smiled just sealed the deal. Even he had to admit though that the rabbit helmet and sword were unusual but she had always been a little strange and interesting in his eyes.
"Sure Gina, lead the way. Without any worry about what she might be planning he approached her. He was a bit nervous though and he was sure she and some of the others noticed but that was because he had decided to tell her how he felt when they were alone. "Honestly I'm just glad you're okay."
