After a few more kills and long walking they set up a fire to rest. "How many spells do we have left?"

"I only used heal so I can pray for two miracles." Priestess said.

"I have 3 remaining myself but a dragon tooth warrior requires catalysts so I may only use that miracle once more." Lizard Priest said.

"And this old Dwarf can cast about 4 or 5." Dwarf Shaman said.

High Elf Archer was sitting away from the fire. Priestess offered her some water.

"Show some moderation. Only a sip. A full belly will slow your movements." Goblin Slayer said.

"Can't you be-" Priestess started.

"Don't pretend to act tough. If you can't handle this then leave." Goblin Slayer said.

"I'm the Ranger. Who would scout if I'm not around?" High Elf Archer said standing up "There is no way I'm going back. Not after what they did to that elf. My home isn't far from here what if they had…"

"I see." Goblin Slayer said "Then lets begin." Walking off.

"Keep your wits about you Long Ears. Stealth is our greatest weapon against the beast." Dwarf Shaman said "The Dwarven considered goblins our mortal enemy. I won't leave this cave until every one of them are dead." 

High Elf Archer seemed to gain some courage from that "I hate taking advice from Dwarves but you're right."

Wizard

"Damn it shit patrol." Wizard said.

"Hey!" 

"Ok, let's...figure this shit out. I fronted the potion costs so that's my input." Wizard said. 

"Ok so we were able to scratch together 5 silver." Male Fighter said, putting the coins on the table. "Not even enough for a dagger."

Wizard let out a long exhale from her nose. "Fucking finally!" She shouted when Goblin Slayer walked in with the party. "Oh wise and mighty Slayer of Goblin, enlighten these chuckle fucks before I learn fireball and level this building."

"Goblins are dead." Goblin Slayer said to Guild Girl. 

"Excellent." Guild Girl said before lowering her voice "Could you do something...off board? It isn't killing goblins but it might be similar."

"What is it?" Goblin Slayer asked, not even caring about her attempts to keep it quiet.

"Well…" Guild Girl started before Wizard walked over. "What we need is to give the Bladed Fuck Boi here some advice about cave fighting."

Goblin Slayer turned to the Porcelain ranks while, Guild girl was counting out the payment. "Uh what would you do if a goblin took your weapon?" The Male Fighter asked.

"Take a weapon from a dead goblin." Goblin Slayer said.

Wizard covered Male Fighters mouth and said "Let's rephrase that. What if your sword breaks at the entrance of a cave and none of the goblins had weapons to steal?"

"A thick stick makes a decent club. Blunt weapons are good for bone braking, bleeding, concussions and it can be used from any angle." Goblin Slayer said "Plus they break less often then a sword and can be used if broke as shives." 

"How much would a good club cost?" Sword Mage asked.

"2 silver. 3 if you want it studded but that isn't worth it unless you're fighting undead. For 10 you could get spikes which ain't really worth it if you're using a club." Goblin Slayer said.
