At this point it was more upsetting then anything, Kathryn knew she was at fault and dragging it on only seemed to have to hammer in that point more. Though it seemed things were calming down Victoria and Hugh still had some words to finish things off with. Marita was adamant that she need not be apologized towards which Kathryn understood her thought process there. But Kathryn still left her exposed. It was a mistake that should not happen again. "[color=598527]Hugh, I get what you're trying to do. But at the end of the day I feel behind and my attempts to make up for it didn't pan out the way I hoped. Thank you for coming to my side, it's much appreciated.[/color]" She spoke to him with a smile on her face. She was sincere on both points, but what had happened happened, and Kathryn was the first domino in that line to lead them to their events. "[color=598527]I'm a big girl, I can handle my own. But the help is appreciated. It's not needed this time though.[/color]" Hugh's intentions were in the right place, but like Kathryn they were both out of their elements. Hugh was more of a lone adventurer, and Kathryn was used to parties of people armed and equipped like herself. There was still a lot to learn. It seemed the additional incite on the goblin's weapons wasn't able to yield much. Though a gift was seeming more and more likely as they went. If that was the case,w ho would intentionally arm a goblin raiding party? To cause chaos? Or to target this specific wagon? "[color=598527]They seem human made. Though I'm not sure how much that helps us. Especially since they don't seem like local weapons.[/color]" She finally replied to Hugh's inquiries. She had to agree, it was unlikely that the weapons came from the unwilling. If she wanted to stretch an area's resources and manpower thin organizing parties like these were a great way to do so. They were hard to pin down, could cause a lot of damage, and were a lot harder to trace back towards whoever hired them. Shame none were taken alive. Looking back at the goblin who's head had a new cavity in the side of his head she figured she herself might be a pretty big part of that issue. Kathryn was approached by Victoria and asked in a rather cute and awkward way to clear up if they were good while in a more private conversation from the rest of the party. "[color=598527]We're good.[/color]" Finishing up the oxen to make sure that it would move with minimal problems she faced Victoria. "[color=598527]Yeah.[/color]" Simple, sweet. It felt odd her asking that of her when Kathryn had the misstep. "[color=598527]You're the one who got shot?![/color]" Kathryn spoke in an almost hysterical laughter. "[color=598527]Why are you buying the first round? If anything it should be me.[/color]" Thinking about it though, Kathryn would never turn down free booze. "[color=598527]You think the owners will give us a discount on the wine for recovering it?[/color]" Kathryn wasn't the biggest fan of expensive wine, but cheap booze was cheap booze. Planning came soon afterwards. And given the information at their disposal the plans made sense. Kathryn worried about splitting up the party with how specialized they were, and with the likelihood that whoever went after the goblins may face combat but without support of at least half the party. Kosara returned making splitting up seeming easier. She seemed to be having the time of her life as she arrived with their new mule friend. Kathryn took note of Hugh's comment about the trail. Figuring she could help in some way, Kathryn made her way towards the coffin and briefly wondered if the body over the fire was from the coffin or the driver? She bent down to take a look, but couldn't figure out anything after the carnage the goblins inside had done towards it. She hoped that the body burning was one in the coffin, though she was starting to see that as less and less likely. Both went North, even if off a bit. "[color=598527]I'm up for checking out where the goblins came from. I am weary about splitting the party. Especially since whoever goes after the goblin's there is a high chance of facing more of the creatures. Only that time the party wont be at full strength.[/color]" She thought about it for a moment then. "[color=598527]The goblin camp would likely be in an identical state though. But both trails go north. Ish. If it stops prior to Avonshire we could stop there on the way, if it goes past we could stop there after we sort out affairs there. Though the goblins are the cover job, we still have our main tasks to consider.[/color]" Her main concern was splitting the party. Though they were all skilled individuals there was no telling what may arise once they left. Victoria asked about assistance with the coffin, Kathryn figured while there she might as well do what she can to help with it. "[color=598527]Here let me help with that.[/color]" Kathryn got on one side while Victoria took the other, thankfully this was considerably lighter then the wine barrels. Dear gods was it lighter. Once it was loaded up with the win barrels, the party's look, and other odds and ends, Victoria piped up with a very cheerful "[color=9932cc]Thank you![/color]" Though they had chatted earlier about it, it was nice to see that there wasn't too much lasting damage. "[color=598527]No problem. It's considerably better then the wine barrels.[/color]" She spoke with a relieved sigh. If she never had to move another one of those things she'd live happily ever after.
