Chapter 30: Strategy Meeting
Jonas didn't see the need to rush back to the others. That would only reduce more of his stamina and they pretty much needed all they could get when the time came for them to attack.
Even though he didn't expect it to happen that quickly, they still had a little time before night came, so she considered trying to take a nap himself to see how much rest he could get before it started getting dark. Though, it would be easier if they had the sun to look at, since then they could look to see how close it was to the horizon for an estimate on how much longer they had.
When Jonas came around the corner and saw the rest of his team, he knew that the time had come to talk with them and figure out a plan. Especially since he wasn't sure if he'd want to try and take Elin or Elmo with him to pull the girls into the shadows during the rescue operation. Especially since he was just learning some of the quirks of that particular skill. Although, if it looked necessary, then he'd bite that bullet then, but didn't plan on it being necessary.
"So, what'd you find?" Kim asked as Jonas approached them.
"First, there's going to be a lot more goblins than we'd originally planned on fighting," Jonas said. "I wouldn't be surprised if there turned out to be even more when night comes."
"So, you think more are continuing to come through the portal that was mentioned?" Kim asked before they all sat down in a circle right in front of the hallway.
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what's happening," Jonas confirmed.
"Did you see the girls they captured?" Elin asked.
Jonas shook his head. "No, I was too far away from the room to really get a good look at it. If I tried to get closer to the room, I'm sure I'd have been seen and would probably have returned with a group after me," Jonas replied. "Although, when I arrived there I saw two large goblins and just before I left, I saw a gray skinned goblin. I wouldn't have mentioned it, but it seemed to me that even the large goblins did whatever that one told them to. So, I think there might be three kinds of goblins to consider."
"Should I view their stats when I see them later on?" Elmo asked.
"Wouldn't hurt, but whatever you tell us, make sure you're not being loud. I certainly don't want them after us until we want them to be," Jonas admonished.
