Chapter 226: B3: C16: Idiot Humans 2
Dawson felt a little confused by how the goblin was walking casually toward his guild members. He felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand, his paranoia flaring.
Thankfully, he didn’t have to shout to warn his men and women. The scouts on the edges saw what was coming and sent out a warning to get some semblance of a fighting force together.
A solid unit of thirty warrior-types collected as a show of force against the one goblin. Another thirty mage-types moved in from behind to support. Other than Gisella, they had a few healers at the ready, too.
Dawson kept a lookout for another factor. When there was one goblin, there was bound to be thousands more.
Was the Grimrock Warlock still alive and kicking?
Dawson figured that was the reason Orin and his paladins had failed their crusade. They’d wasted too much of their manpower and magic against Shadowfell’s corrupted creatures and had nothing to spare against the Grimrock Warlock.
“Damn it,” Dawson hissed. “They don’t send just one unless they are going to give us a warning or lead us to a trap.”
“I don’t like how that goblin’s still walking toward our people. Let’s move closer,” Gisella advised.
Dawson feared the Rats might surprise them from behind, but he followed Gisella’s advice anyway. They flew over to the edge where their warriors prepared for a fight. From here, Dawson had a proper look at the incoming goblin.
