Suna then leaves Furnin to his meditational healing and sits by herself against a tree within viewing distance of Furnin. So she can watch him as he does his waving arms thing as she would put it.
Fuea asks Dorfam, "so what now? For the most part the goblin regiment is dealt with. "
Dorfam shrugs then says, "this was a side venture, our main goal was Baroness Chordan's mansion. So I'd wager we collect ourselves and..."
Julno says, "could we collect what we can from the goblin's cave to give back to my village. For those left? "
A few moments pass as everyone recognizes the grimness in Julno's voice given the circumstances the man has hardly mourned his own parents properly and is thinking of the others of his village.
Shirtless Furnin startles everyone as he jumps into the conversation, "that's a swell idea. I say let's mop up the stragglers then take the treasure back to your village. I'm sure we can get a wagons worth to... "
Julno to Furnin's surprise hugs Furnin so suddenly it almost knocks Furnin off balance.
Julno then says, "thank you. If it wasn't for you I would... "
Furnin says, "Nah, there's nothing to thank me for. I think this is the sort of thing I would be doing as a battle scribe. Although I'm pretty sure I'd have my own troops." he scratches the back of his head as he glances at his shoulder.
Fuea rushes over to Furnin and eyes the wound on his shoulder. It's mostly closed, turned into a somewhat minor gash.
Fuea says aloud, "incredible, what manner of technique did you perform? "
Furnin says with a frown, "it's not to be used lightly, I'm going to need to rest soon because it expends a lot of energy. It's Durna's special technique and since she still needs pupil to take over her Dojo I'm afraid I can't tell you. "
Fuea says, "I see. Well whatever it is I'm beyond impressed with its implications. "
Furnin says with an onslaught of phantom pains, "yeah, it came in handy, saved my life countless times. "
Furnin speaks nonsense for a moment that startles everyone then half control falls to the ground, losing consciousness.
Suna runs over but Fuea says before Suna can worry, "he's ok, he just lost consciousness. I guess this is the rest he said is required for the technique. "
Suna says, "he scared me. I thought... "
Fuea smiles as she says, "he's not the type to die. Not after being so confident in this Durna he speaks so highly of. "
Dorfam scoffs and says, "Durna is definitely a force to be reckoned with, if I knew it wouldn't result in my death. I would have liked to have fought her myself. "
Julno says, "we can't leave with him in that state, should we camp out here?"
Dorfam chuckles and says, "I have a better idea. How about you all stay here and I'll go clear out a resting area for us. "
Fuea says, "you sure? Even though there may only be 5?"
Dorfam says, "please, if I had been here to take on the 40 with this one I probably could have taken half, maybe less since he fights like a wild animal. "
Fuea looks at Dorfam and gives a silent notion of care as if saying be careful.
Julno says, "what about me? "
Dorfam replies, "I think it's best you stay here. Besides I want to dish out my own payback. Gotta earn my keep am I right? "
After a brief pause and a little confusion amongst Julno's face Dorfam continues, "afterall I'm a mercenary. " he then heads out towards the goblin cave.
Fuea decides to fortify the area just in case, so no surprises occur. Julno grabs a few small knives off of goblin corpses. Suna just holds Furnin's head in her lap as he rests.
Meanwhile Dorfam comes across the barren goblin fort. If you could call it a fort just a few watchtowers, a few buildings near the cave entrance. Probably the most impressive thing about this little goblin set up is the forge.
Dorfam enters the cave, not much to it aside from the makeshift beds.
Towards the back of the cave Dorfam hears the scrambling of metal being slung around.
The 5 goblins were packing as much of the goblin loot as they could obviously planning to run for the hills.
Unfortunately for them Dorfam wasn't gonna let them. But at least he was going to give them a fair fight.
Dorfam's voice echos through out the cave as he says, "meet your end with honor scum! "
The goblin's turn around and fear is visibly across each and every one of their yellowish green faces.
3 charge Dorfam hoping to somehow speed through him. But Dorfam cuts through them with one heave of his oversized broadsword.
The last two kneel down in surrender. Dorfam asks as he readies his blade, "any last words? " knowing full well goblins don't speak human tongue.
After allowing them goblin ramblings Dorfam cuts them clean across the necks. Beheaded both in one fell swing.
He then eyes the goblin's loot and for a brief moment a thought of greed comes into Dorfam's mind but only brief. Fighting is his true passion, not much else matters.
Dorfam sees the others behind the makeshift fortifications Fuea had made, and is met with an arrow notched and ready to fire at him.
"Aye lass, good job on setting up the perimeter. "Dorfam says to Fuea.
Fuea lowers her bow and says, "how did the goblin hunting go? "
Dorfam says, "child's play. "
Dorfam approaches the still unconscious Furnin and picks him up slinging him over his shoulder.
The others follow him back towards the goblin's cave. Where they plan to spend however much time it takes for the sleeping wolf to wake up.
