I still know nothing about that, but I doubt it’s relevant now…”[/color] Asteria trailed off in thought, considering the possibility that whomever fought him could be another Reincarnator. Even if she was certain that they were, however, making contact was not necessarily advisable, especially given that the trio of Dire rats were outnumbered. Just as she was about to agree to sneak out of the cave, Mother Rat practically tackled her, circling and sniffing at her. A hint of some scent apparently offended her, but only for a short while. [color=F0E68C][i]Surely it’s not because of the undead…is it?[/i][/color] Giving none of her concerns away, Asteria returned the other’s greeting, nuzzling at the Mother briefly. [color=F0E68C]“Hey, hey, I’m alright,”[/color] she reassured. Then, she peeked back towards the entrance, narrowing her gaze to asses the situation. Only to find a pair of goblins approaching. It was too late to sneak by! The goblin duo was speaking of helping Crispy and possibly opposing the new female goblin Boss, and they were getting closer and closer to discovering them. Not wanting to chance anything, Asteria backed away silently, nudging Mother Rat and Ed into doing the same, taking special care that the other female Dire rat wouldn’t attack and give them away. She slowly and cautiously led them back a bit into the cave, then whispered to Ed. [color=F0E68C]“Let them pass. When they’re gone, let’s make a break for it, either out the main entrance or that side tunnel by it, the one Jason and others partially dug out.”[/color] She kept an eye on the goblin duo as well as the now somewhat more distant entrance. Worst case scenario, now that they were farther from the larger group of goblins, they could take out the duo without causing much of a commotion. She also relayed this thought of hers [color=F0E68C]“If we have to take them out, quick and silent is the way to go,”[/color] the mutter was barely audible even to her own ears, so the preoccupied goblin duo would hopefully not hear it.
