[b][color=red]EMRI & HOI[/color][/b]
It took a while for the goblins to notice, but the moment their hunger vanished, the clearer their minds became. Everything around them gradually became vibrant and filled with life, as it should have been. The pain, fatigue, and discomfort they previously felt had disappeared, as if it was never there. This was certainly more than simple recovery.

In their efforts to look for water, both Emri and Hoi started to appreciate their surroundings better. Birds were chirping, leaves wildly rustled, and the growls and sounds of the various creatures that called the forest their home were never ending. However, these things weren't their priority at the moment; what they wanted to quench was their thirst.

Hoi focused on listening, hoping to hear something that would point them to water, but the lively forest made it difficult. Emri on the other hand relied on his keen observation. He was right, healthy plants could only mean a good source of water nearby. Unfortunately, their time and efforts were not being put to good use, as they only managed to find moist mounds of earth. They were always beneath the trees and around the long and large gnarled roots that had surfaced to the ground.

Taking a moment to rest and rethink their plans, a few feet away from them, a nest of Horned Rabbits had gathered, and apparently, they were gnawing and licking the roots of the trees around them. The moment Emri saw them, he immediately knew what they were called and of their timid nature.

[HIDER=OOC]No luck in finding rivers and streams, but there's a lot of wet soil lying around. Anyway, when I say nest, that's probably around six rabbits. Just in case you were wondering.

Just tell me if you wanna continue to search or do something to the rabbits.[/HIDER]
[hr][b][color=red]SAITO[/color][/b]
It seemed that when Saito wanted to win, Saito was going to win; he was willing to do whatever it took. Onlookers would've seen him as a naked goblin, wailing as he repeatedly slammed his only piece of clothing against a tree. He was the goblin your mother told you to avoid. But little did they know, behind all his green glory, was someone who was about to get his first meal.

From the confines of his loincloth, the high-pitched shrieking of the Scaled Shrew came to a halt. Saito's judgement had told him that it was time to stop. Laying out the shrew on the ground, it was no longer rolled up, was motionless, eyes were pitch white, and its tongue was lax, dangling from the side of its mouth.

[Hider=OOC]Chewy and gamey, but with a hint of tartness. It was strange meat, hence little choose to hunt it. The scaled hide remained intact though. Not a dent.

Anyway, Saito's first hunt is done. Time to rest and recollect. Then do whatevers again.[/Hider]

[hr][b][color=red]AYA, RAGI, BUG, & TWIG[/color][/b]
Aya and Ragi's discussion lead them away from their clearing and back into the forest, with the Harvest Sloth following them from behind. It kept its distance from Aya, and closely stayed just behind Ragi. With weapons in hand, they continued to search for creatures that they could lead back to their trap.

It might have been a coincidence, but the two goblins managed to return to the area where the Ragi found the sloth. There were still no creatures around, but what they could help but notice was the number of motionless insects within the area. This was the only instance where the Harvest Sloth decided to move in front of them. It apparently was hungry, as it made its way to the helpless insects. As it devoured the bugs, faint traces of orange spores flew off from it back, slowly filling the air. Both goblins noticed this, but due to the sloth's proximity to Ragi, only Aya managed to distance herself.

Ragi suddenly fell to the ground, motionless from the neck down. The Harvest Sloth remained clueless as it continued its meal.

....

Back at the hole, Twig had finally returned along with the massive rock he had been pushing around. His head shook from side to side, seeing as no one was around. However, before the panic could set in, Twig heard the iconic snore of his brother. He was lead to the hole Bug had made and found him there, covered in dirt and sound asleep. Throwing a few sticks at his brother's face, Twig screamed to wake him up.

[b]"Brother! I have big rock! Can you lift?!"[/b]

Both their eyes widened in excitement.

[HIDER=OOC]I guess you now know why they call it the Harvest Sloth? Since they were left behind, the wacky adventures of Bug and Twig continue.[/HIDER]
[hr][color=red][b]RESHY[/b][/color] 💀
Choosing to ignore his hunger, the young goblin continued to wander before deciding to climb up a tree. He was probably the last of the goblins to have looked for food. It wasn't wrong to assume that there might have been little left around the cave. Hoping to find something atop the tall trees, Reshy proceeded to claw and scrape on the bark. So his climb started. 

....

Then his climb ended. It took precisely four attempts.

Without the right tools or capabilities, and sufficient strength, it was difficult to achieve what Reshy wanted. The highest that he had reached before falling to the ground was around a two feet high.

So there Reshy was. Bathing in the suns warmth, laying on the ground, with crippling hunger and a weakened body. What made things more strange was the sweet aroma that had filled the air and the sticky cold that began to envelope his legs. 

A Yellow Slime had appeared and assumed that Reshy was weak enough to devour.

[HIDER=OOC]Yellow Slimes are around the size of a goblin's head. They aren't transparent like its Green and Blue counterparts, and appear more putty like. It emits a sweet floral aroma.

Reshy can still resist, as some sort of fight or flight, but if he messes up, we can get our second goblin death. 

So a single skull puts you in a situation where you can die.[/HIDER]
[hr][color=red][b]KRISHNA, RENA, & TIK[/b][/color]
With the lifeless Gor laying in a growing pool of blood, the Horned Rabbit's body shivered in excitement before letting out a low-pitched snarl. Its eyes were now set on the other goblin and as it kicked off the ground, lunging at its next target. Stricken with fear and panic, Krishna's instincts told him what he had to do. This situation did not call for a warrior's pride or a goblin's recklessness. He just had to survive for now, and survive he did.

Darting off at impressive speed, Krishna zigged and zagged his way to safety rather easily. There was a thing about Horned Rabbits. They weren't considered predatory and mostly fed on plant life. Despite their amazing lunging capabilities and sharp horns, their attacks were quite simple; they could only charge towards one direction. Pivoting, swerving, or curving were actions they found difficult.

Trees now protected Krishna, leaving the rabbit alone, kicking up dust in frustration. However, this didn't last long as rocks and branches suddenly flew towards it. 

...

Tik and Rena were quite similar, but not in appearance or personality. I suppose it was more on how the decisions they had made. Despite plagued by hunger, the two spent ample time in crafting make shift weapons; whether their trusty tools made up for their growling stomachs and weary bodies, it was too soon to tell. Kinda. Both decided to help their troubled brethren, even if it was against a large and scarred foe that had already slain one of their own. Their approach of attack shared similar characteristics as well. Even with their child-like physiques and waning strength, they made their presences known with ranged attacks. Tik's spears soared gracefully towards the Horned Rabbit, at least as graceful as it could, but it lacked something. It was either accuracy, power, or a little bit of both. I mean, he was a starving newborn, it wasn't that surprising. Rena's rock also shared the same fate; it whiffed.

However, even with their questionable choices, failed attacks, and weakened bodies, they stayed true to their rough and rowdy goblin instincts as they charged towards the lunging Horned Rabbit.

Similar to Gor, Tik rushed towards the Horned Rabbit, meeting it head on. Before it could get near enough though, the young goblin swung his makeshift weapon, aiming for the creature's head. The rabbit was unyielding, and continued its charge regardless of the incoming attack. With its horn, it had managed to parry the strike, and successful tackled the greenskin, launching him backwards. 

With the Horned Rabbit's attention focused on Tik, Rena was given the opportunity land a decisive blow. Coming from its periphery and catching it off guard, a wooden club had came rushing in, crashing into the rabbit's chest. The sounds of cracking bone echoed through the forest before the rabbit was sent tumbling to the sides.

The Horned Rabbit immediately recovered, landing on all fours, its head lowered and ready to lunge. Its eyes were locked unto both goblins as it let out a blood curdling snarl. Despite frothing at the mouth, it seemed to be more cautious as it waited for its foes to make a move.

[HIDER=OOC]Krishna's safe and soudn; he's pretty much free to do whatever he wants. The rabbit kinda forgot he was there. As far as it knows, Krishna's long gone.

Since the rabbit used its horn to parry Tik's attack, it couldn't use it to impale him. So he just got taclked backwards. Tik's weapon was knocked away from her too. Aside from the air being knocked out of him, he's basically okay.

Rena was clean this round. I guess something she could get out of this was how heavy the rabbit was.[/HIDER]
[hr][color=red][b]CULL[/b][/color]
Cull remained patient and waited for the clash between the two creatures to come to a close. If he played his cards right, he'd be able to treat himself himself to two meals.

The Brown Stoat's fangs, although not that long, were still plunged into the Horned Rabbit's neck. Despite its efforts to squirm and shake its attacker off, the stoat remained relentless, with its hold on becoming tighter and tighter. Soon enough, the rabbit's movements turned sluggish, before dropping to the ground.

At that moment, Cull sprung forth form the bushes, thrusting his spear unto the stoat's body. Its quick reflexes were a second too late as the goblin managed to its body down to the ground. Enraged and anxious, the stoat thrashed and wriggled its body as a last ditch effort to escape. 

[HIDER=OOC]The rabbit's not dead, but is motionless, with its breaths being deep and slowed. Unless Cull has a good plan, the stoat has a pretty good chance of escaping if unpinned. 

The point ends of the branch weren't sharp enough to dig deep into the stoat. At best, it just caused a flesh wound.[/HIDER]
