Good thing too, Barrington isn't a particularly seasoned explorer so he learning stuff on the fly like wound treatment. Just been lucky so far.

Barrington winced at the small cut he received though it likely would have been far worse if not for the half-vampire's intervention on his behalf. He had to give her fair credit on the speed with which she re-positioned herself, likely it was on account of her heritage, but he couldn't be anything but grateful. Luckily despite the attempt on his life the throw had landed more or less far enough down the corridor to prevent any of his compatriots from suffering injury which was all he could have hoped for. What happened next surprised even him as after the first expected detonation there was a second and much larger one that shook the storehouse, not to mention the ground, alike. His own balance was offset for a moment as a result but a moment was all it took to regain it after which giving a befuddled look in the direction of the tunnel his grenado had flew into.
"That was...most unexpected." The inventor said voicing an answer to a question he guessed that wasn't only on his mind, "Not enough power in my little grenados to do that, must have hit something else more volatile down that way. Oh well its one less surprise to worry about in that direction Kessel willing."
The engineer seemed a bit less tense afterwards with a small but growing grin peeking out for a moment as they seemed to have cleared out all opposition in this room, quite possibly even the next after that unintentional and thunderous blast. He did take a moment to check himself as best he could finding it was quite a minute wound thankfully though the little cretin damaged his jacket which admittedly annoyed him. However, better to be inconvenienced than dead in the end but it was something he would try to get tailored once they returned to the village. The nobleman turned to the half-vampire fully intending to thank the woman for assisting him quite happy with the idea of having someone to watch his back.
"You have my thanks for that, I would not have been able to managed that nearly so well." Barrington said to Alliana as he thought it was proper for such a thing.
While they took a moment to collect themselves his prerogative was to reload his Dragoon for any future encounters and taking a swift headcount of his explosives and gadgets as well just in case.

Oh damn, that was pretty awesome.
@rivaan Any ideas poking out ahead of the rest atm?
Good to get them out of the way, can hardly blame you for that. Not quite as bad as finals but close enough.
Nothing too eventful on my end, just enjoying the slow pace for now.
Least your keeping us in the know about it. Even that courtesy isn't always extended sometimes.
Barrington smirked a little as his custom pistol had the intended effect on the goblin all but pulping it in front of him. One less to worry about in this fight though it sounded like both women were having an eventful fight with the one goblin who jumped. He could definitely see that Arthur had killed the most cowardly of the small green enemies with a swift stab so that was another down as well. So far this was going well enough or at least he thought so up until the half-vampire called out for him to move quickly which he did willing to trust the woman to help him out. He did a dash forward to heed the warning turning to the side as he saw a goblin making a break for the tunnel.
The engineer reached to his belt and pulled up a grenado lighting the fuse with his torch before tossing the small explosive towards the retreating enemy calling out "Fire in the hole!" as the metal sphere glinted from the light it flew ahead of him.

So glad to be keeping this going and with a full party again. 
"Huh so he does actually have a map, crudely drawn but effective in general I suppose." Barrington thought guessing that it hadn't been used in quite sometime so they really would have to improvise the rest of the journey intelligently. The lady-crusader seemed mostly unfazed on the outside and seemed as if she might well brute force through the wall to smite the evil being, though even if she did not her words were correct in that they now knew what they would be building up against. Surprise was something they could ill afford at this time and he would be making plans for something to fight such an enemy if only just to provide a comforting thought of possibility. "I agree anything and everything salvageable could pose a use. Not to mention if we could find the treasury it would provide funds that we will likely need to maintain our equipment, or make equipment in my case, and if the King's squire was correct get us supplies with a bit to spare." He said quite sure that if they were going to loot the place they should do it properly as unsavory as it might be of them to do so. Wouldn't be the first time he got himself into trouble for it and hopefully not the last either Kessel willing.
Of course there were always going to be a few bumps in the road and when Arthur's voice rose to alert them he honestly wondered how it hadn't happened sooner. The torchlight revealed better the four goblins as they moved into vision, not much more than skin and bones while poorly equipped to boot. The engineer had never know goblins to attack when a fight was so even as they were cowardly which one of them sort of proved the point stepping back from them. He saw the one moving to the side into the shadows, he would have to keep a peripheral on that side so as not to be surprised later, but the one that concerned him most was the one who had thought it clever to charge him head on. The inventor sidestepped closer to the flank and rear of his party preparing to cover it to his fullest while also making it easier to judge where he could shoot safely then lining up a proper shot with his Dragoon waiting just a second for the goblin to get a little closer before pulling the trigger releasing the roar of many small pellets exploding outward in a small cone intent on shredding the aggressor.
