[i]CLANG, CLANG, CLANG... The hammer struck hot metal several times, then is was returned to the hot forge to heat. Then once more it was brought to an anvil and the hammer hit again, and again, shaping the metal with each stike. Then a chill blew down his spine, which was odd when working at a forge. He shook himself to clear it, only for a large shadow to be cast on him and a sense of dread to take hold. He turned to see lightning in a dark cloud rush at him and-[/i]

Reoth snapped awake at the loud crash outside, eyes suddenly wide with terror and being unable to move from the shock of being awoken by... this. The voice boomed outside, and his limbs felt stiff when he tried to move them, to get up and go see just what was happening, but the system message told him clearly that he wouldn't be able to. He was overwhelmed, and felt the strength leaking from his muscles from stamina loss. Then there was a loud explosion, distant but still close enough to be clearly heard.

Then there was a snap and crackle, and the sense of dread left him. His body felt limp and numb, and rather than get up to speak to the others allowed himself to drift back to sleep, right as he heard shouting and angry comments outside. It wasn't a heavy sleep, as he was woken up soon after as something else happened outside. Rather than get up or even lift his head this time, he simply listened as he no longer felt that prior sense of terror or dread.

He watched as Ash picked up her crystal and... swallowed it? Huh... Anyways, he watched her moved to the entrance to observe what he himself was listening to. And couldn't help but raise whatever counted as eyebrows for a lizard. Did a bunch of goblins just ask -no- beg Digbie to become their leader? Well that was a sudden turn of events. Also, it seemed the explosion he heard during that terrifying event was a mountain having been exploded so... Yeah, don't pray to the demon king. He probably never would have done so in the first place, but he was guaranteed not to now.

Upon Ash's return to her spot in the cave Reoth finally stood, gave himself a good stretch in the hopes waking himself up fully, and crawled over to her. [color=lightcyan]"So... what was that crystal and did you actually eat it?"[/color] A pause before he spoke again, [color=lightcyan]"Another extra question... Did Digbie just get offered a position of power?"[/color]
