Some women among the new crowd muttered under their breaths and made a couple of complex gestures as the name Kaireth was mentioned. It seems like the goddess is really reverred highly in this world and not just an occult figure. Ren decided to make a mental note to find more information about the goddess if they get through this mess alive.

The girl named Jackie may have said too much. Besides, they don't know yet if these people can be trusted or not.

"[i]But if they really mean harm, they could have rounded us up right off the bat. We're all just kids after all.[/i]" Ren thought weighing their chances, "[i]If only there's a way to convince them that we're not here to cause any trouble.[/i]"

"Be that as it may," The armored man started to say, "we cannot allow you to walk around without proper clearance. I'm afraid we have to ask you to come with us to the nearest encampment for further questioning."

"[i]This is bad. This is bad.[/i]" Ren started to panic. They don't know exactly if these guys are good guys, they might be dressed like regal knights now, but, they could very well be bandits wanting to take advantage of kids like them, or worst, they could be slave traders looking for new slaves to sell. "[i]I have to calm down! I have to think of something, and fast![/i]"

And then suddenly, there was a huge blast coming from the farthest flank of the new comers. Soon enough everything is in chaos — people shouting directions, some screams of pain, more explosions, and what sounded like wolves howling. 

"Just what the hell is happening!?" Shouted the armored man.

"Sir! A pack of Kobolds! An ambush!" A young man came up to his commander, panting, and panic striken.

The huge man turned to us, his face enraged, "You!? Do you have anything to do with this!?"

And then, Ren saw them. Their head looks very wolf like — long snouts with menacing set of sharp teeth. From neck down, they very much resembles that of a human body, except they are coverred in fur, and in exchange of hands and feet are paws with sharp claws. They also have furry tails, but some had theirs cut down in half. Some Kobolds wear beaten down armor made of wood, but most of them are in their bare fur.

"THIS COULDN'T GET MORE RPG LIKE!?" Ren thought ridiculously.

Ren almost jumped off from where he's currently standing, surprised at the sudden interruption of his thoughts.

"[i]Man, is this going to be a frequent thing?[/i]" Ren thought towards the voice inside his head, appalled. "[i]It mentioned some Appraisal Skill. Wait, you don't mean...[/i]"

Suddenly an almost transluscent panel appear besides one of the monsters. It reads:

"[i]And I could use it on myself too! This couldn't get more interesting.[/i]" Ren thought mockingly.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS INSANE STATS!!?" Ren said a little too loudly. 

This snapped him back to reality and became more aware of his surroundings. Most of the Kobolds are now fighting the new comers — swords, claws, and teeth actively hacking at each other. He might have seen several streak of lights speeding in and out of his peripheral vision and also some blood, but he's still a little out of focused to pay attention. These new information presenting it self to him is just too overwhelming to process.

He cant even tell what is real anymore. Is he really in a fantasy world much like the games he's playing most of the time? Ren pinched himself one more time to make sure. "Damn that hurts!"

"We'll have to deal with this pack somehow, before reinforcements arrive!" The armored man turned to his men, all the while drawing his own sword. He raised it at arms length — the sword glistened against the sun that its almost blinding. "We need to regroup! Don't let anyone get separated or fight alone, thats what these damn bastards wants you to do!"

"Yes, sir!" The group replied to his command, and then, bit by bit, efficiently regroup themselves to form a circle around Ren and the others. 

The commander turned towards us, "You better have a good explaination to all of this once we get to the encampment."
