The group originally consisted of all sorts of goblins, big and small alike, but after setting out into the forest, more and more goblins split out into smaller hunting parties, drifting apart and looking for their own little opportunities. Not that Teva disagreed with that kind of approach, mind you, more food for her on the long run, but she appreciated the safety that numbers gave to the relatively individually weak goblins.

She’d tried to make small talk with the ones that stuck with her as they walked among the thick underbrush of the forest. The big and quiet one, Son as he’d come to introduce himself, lead the way in front, with Teva and another female goblin trailing behind him. Unfortunately, it seemed that Son had either lucked out in the brains department despite his physical prowess, or he’d decided that talking was a waste of his breath, instead focusing on the task at hand; brushing aside branches and vines and opening a path for the rest of them to walk on.

While he was doing that, Teva conversed with Gee. The female gob was unlike Teva, shy and skittish, she didn’t seem ready for something as difficult as hunting, and in her mind Teva had already relegated her to gathering and herb picking roles. She’d managed to find a relatively straight piece of wood almost twice her height in length, cradling it in her arms while nervously scanning her surroundings for any sort of enemy that might ambush them. Teva doubted she could even use the stick as a weapon, herself very much preferring rocks as her weapon of choice. While they walked, she’d pick up and store any middle-sized rock that looked relatively sharp. A makeshift bag of sorts was tied around her waist, made from a piece of cloth she’d torn off the rag she wore as clothes. Teva would test the rocks’ weight so that they weren’t too heavy for her to carry but good enough to cause some damage were she to throw them at a fleshly target.

She was squatting down to pick up another rock when she noticed Son suddenly stopping in his tracks, the ever present scowl on his face deepening. He’d heard something shuffling among the trees. Just as the big goblin raised the short, club-like piece of wood he carried around in front of him, ready to pounce at a potential enemy, a familiar green head donning a black tuft of hair popped from behind a tree, causing the three goblins to visibly relax. Son let out a heavy gruff, lowered his weapon and walked over to a fallen tree trunk to sit and rest while Kol, the fourth and last member of  their group skipped over to Teva and Gee.

Kol was… let’s just say that even Teva didn’t know where Kol got all his energy from. The greenskin was [i]supposed[/i] to be starving and yet, he dashed around the forest like he owned the place. At least he brought them information on potential enemies that might be in the vicinity every time he returned, or else Teva might’ve put an end to his little expeditions even before they’d started. It also didn’t help that he carried that toothy grin on his face wherever he went, except this time.

Kol’s face was flushed, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. He took some time to regain his breath before laying out the news to them: he’d found something dangerous ahead.

	[b]“It’s big and pink!”[/b] Kol said between huffs. [b]“And it walks on two legs,”[/b] he added, making stomping sounds with his feet as if to emphasize its weight.
	[color=crimson][b]“Really?”[/b][/color] Teva questioned curiously. [color=crimson][b]“How big are we talking about?”[/b][/color]
	[b]“Twice your height, easily taller than Son!”[/b] Kol answered wide-eyed. Son visibly tensed in his seat, clutching his club tightly upon hearing the news.
	[b]“Sounds scary, let’s igno-”[/b] Gee tried to chime in but was interrupted by the big gob’s heavy voice.
	[b]“No. I’m hungry. I want meat. We fight.”[/b] With a few short sentences, Son made his wishes known to the party, and Teva somehow agreed with him.
	[color=crimson][b]“Yes, we could go forage fruit and berries, but we need something more substantial if we’re to survive. I just don’t know if we can get out of this unscathed…”[/b][/color]
	[b]“It seemed hurt!”[/b] Kol interjected. [b]“Couldn’t put much weight on one leg,”[/b] he continued, pointing at his right leg.

Although the three smaller goblins gravitated around Son due to his impressive, to them at least, physique, Teva had emerged as the undisputed leader, her force of personality that had inspired such a large group of goblins to go out and hunt having gained their respect. [color=crimson][b]“Hmm, alright, let’s do it this way then…”[/b][/color]

Teva watched as everyone got into position before signaling Kol to reveal himself. The short goblin suddenly jumped from behind the nearby shrubbery with a nervous smile on his face. [b]“Hey, you big, dumb, floppy eared creature, bow down before me, Kol the Fabulous!”[/b] he shouted at the orc to get its attention. Immediately the orc swiveled around with a snarl, but was greeted with a faceful of dirt, blinding it momentarily. Kol used this chance to run around the orc and tackle it on the back of its weaker knee, hoping to cause it to stumble and fall.

Teva would then quickly climb up a nearby tree, giving her a vantage point from where she could throw rocks at the orc from above, while Son would charge in yelling a battle-cry, club tightly clutched in both hands in an overhead swing that would come down with force on top of the orc’s head. Despite his apparent strength, Teva wasn’t sure one solid swing would be enough to incapacitate the pink beast, but she hoped Son and Kol would be able to distract the orc long enough for her to get a few good hits in. She aimed at its face, more importantly its eyes. The dirt was a temporary measure used to catch the orc off-guard, but If she could permanently blind the beast their chances of killing it would immediately increase by a lot.

From where she was perched, Teva would also be able to spot Gee, hidden under a brush near where the fight was taking place. She would be tasked with keeping an eye at the orc’s legs for when it stood up again. Using the long stick she carried around, she would extend it from under the brush towards the orc’s feet in an attempt to make it trip once more and create an opening for the other goblins to pummel it to the ground again. Teva was sure that even a timid goblin like her would find this task simple enough to do, and even if Gee failed to trip the orc, Teva had told Kol and Son to lead the orc near the tree she would be on so that see would have the chance to jump from above, using her flexibility to lock her arms around the orc’s neck to choke it out.
