A random warrior goblin answered Vos as the spear-wielding goblin and the blacksmith rushed the unconscious goblin back to his hut to rest and be attended by one of the village's healers. [b]"Griz got beaten up by something, Vos. I'm surprised to even see Griz in such a state. What in the nine hells could have even caught up to him?"[/b] the random goblin shakes his head side to side in confusion. It was known among the village that he was one of the best archers in the village, despite his age. He would never go up against a foe one-on-one in melee...unless it was the last resort. [b]"Whatever Griz fought, pushed him that far. Scary."[/b] The warrior says with a hint of fear in his voice. [hr] Griz awoke a couple of hours later. His cuts had been cleaned and healing salves applied to them, his swollen ankle and his bruised neck was wrapped with a bandage dipped in a mixture of cold water, and his torso felt significantly less painful. The spear-wielding guard smirks at the injured griz and welcomes him back to the realm of the living. [color=khaki]"Heh. Can't say I'm not surprised myself. I thought I was going to die out there."[/color] It was then Breden burst into his hut and asked him what had happened, panic in both his voice and face. [color=khaki]"I got into some trouble while trying to hunt for some dinner."[/color] He tried to reassure the younger goblin with a tired smile but he still needed to explain how did he manage to get the sack full of loot. [color=khaki]"I tried to hunt a giant frog but underestimated the distance and I got thrown into the river and the current took me into the northlands. Orc territory. The sun was setting when I came to. I wandered the woods until I found a clearing and saw the stars, that was when things went to shit."[/color] Griz pauses to request the healer to pass him his water jug. The healer complies and hands over the piece of pottery to him, wherein which he takes a deep sip of water before he continued. [color=khaki]"When I was walking south, I saw an orc trying to dig something up. Usually, I would have left him be and kept on moving. But I saw what was inside. It was full of valuables"[/color] He uses his head to gesture to the mud-encrusted burlap sack on the side of the hut. [color=khaki]"Those kinds of things, would be worse off in those brute's hands. So I what any sane goblin would do. I rushed in and swiped it from the oaf's hands and made a run for it."[/color] Griz's eyebrows furrowed and he frowned. [color=khaki]"I didn't expect him to have been so fast. If not for the mud that caused both of us to slip and gave me an opportunity to deal a lethal blow, I am almost sure that he would have eventually caught up with me and killed me...I limped the rest of the time back to the village. And thats where my story ends."[/color]
