[CENTER][h1][color=00a651][u]Chapter 3[/u] Thither[/color][/h1] [h2][color=7bcdc8]The Woods[/color][/h2][/CENTER] Zavakri, Gabriel, and Clapperclaw were silent for the most part as the sleeping pair were awakened by the floating skeletal hand. Both Gabriel and Zavakri are looking away from Brutrumukk for a good moment, Gabriel in guilt, while Zavakri is trying to prevent herself from outright sobbing at the sight of the skeletal hand. Thankfully, she is successful as she fans her face and takes a couple of deep silent breaths. The conversation between the goblinoids continue without interruption. Clapperclaw noticeably waits for Jub to answer Aurora's question about the conversation before he speaks up. "Oh! These guys are friends of yours? I saw them run from the bullywug knights! Don't know what happened there, but Jub over here was really fast! Gotta say, that was impressive!" He continues, placing hands on his hips, "Well, just leaving you guys stranded here in the woods won't do you any good. I know a safe space where you guys can rest if you need to! There's a cave nearby where old man Nibs resides. Nibs might be depressing to talk to, but he is quite hospitable. I'll lead you to him," [@Vertigo][@Lurking Krog][@Dark Cloud][@XxFellsingxX][@rush99999][@Necroes]
