The goblins gather around ready for their next assault on the problem in front of them. "You! take left. You! go right. You! just attack!" "Wooagh!" the remaining goblins all take their positions around Gabe as he stands ready for combat. Two goblins approach from his sides, Each one striking out with their spears Gabe ducks as they pierce the air above his head. "Nice try, but you're gonna have to be quicker than that to catch me!" He then swipes at both of them on their guards. The first one dodges, but the second one is not so lucky. The claw manages to scratch the goblin's gut. It stumbles but manages to stay on its feet.
"Weak twig me get you for tha- URRGH!" as the goblin was taunting Gabe it suddenly felt weaker as it dropped to the knees while holding its side. the left goblin goes towards his fallen ally. "what wrong you? the goblin falls to the ground as the hand moved from the side revealing an orange slime with a puncture wound. "Poison! Clear back!" the squad captain yells out as he advances forward with his spear but making sure to stay out of melee range.
"Knowing is not gonna change the fact that you can't get to close to me. But unfortunately for you, I can get close." Gabe then begins his assault. The goblins retreat and dodge as much as they can, not wanting to meet their allies faced. Gabe takes a couple stabs in the process but they also are not doing too well as they're stamina begins to wane. The captain, seeing this, mutters to himself " Green fools. Told them train harder they no listen and now they dropped."
Gabe claws another goblin seeing as how it has slown down. Blood flows from the stump as the goblin falls. The other goblin seemed to be made of a weaker material compared to its compatriots, dropping the spear and flees into the forest. "Coward! Boss deal with you later." The goblin captain then picks up the fallen spear, seeing as his other compatriots have either fallen in battle or fled. It's a shame goblin kind. He points one of the spears in his hands towards Gabe as he says "You may best others, but I am tougher than others!" Gabe motions for the goblin to come at him, his confidence soaring as he's taken down the previous goblins.
The goblin captain rushes with great speed, performing multiple piercing thrusts and stabs. Gave at first wasn't concerned, but as the speed continued to increase, he began to feel the pressure. "Hmm, it seems like you do have the strength to back up your words. I'm gonna have to take you seriously." The back and forth continued to increase in tempo. Gabe was deflecting or dodging as many of the attacks that came his way. Meanwhile, the goblin continued to throw out attacks with great frenzy, dishing out slashes, pierces and every other attack he could think of. But unfortunately, such great attack speed is bound for mistakes. The goblin overextended on its attack, losing his stable footing and stance. That's bad. He knew it. And so did Gabe.
Capitalizing on the overextended goblin, Gabe slashed with his claws. The wounds piled up, and soon the captain collapsed over blood loss, sure to guarantee his demise " And that takes care of that. I should switch up my combat style soon. Claws can only take me so far..." Gabe glances at the spears that are in the goblin's hands. He changes his mind soon afterwards. After all, spears aren't really his forte.
Soon, the months flew by. On average, Gabe would take care of about four groups every two weeks, which is very astonishing for how many goblins are after him. Is he really that delicious? Nevertheless, things are looking up for Gabe now, as the goblins are surely ready to run. And as it just so happens, it'd be a perfect time to visit a certain cave.
As Gabe was preparing for his next encounter, the goblins were not so lucky. Four squad captains Kneel before the Stone throne. "When boss show me want lunch!" A large Rotund Goblin whisper growls to his compatriot next to him. "Sush! don't waste life whispering in room. boss no like that." A much skinnier goblin replies in response, not wishing to see another head roll within the week. "Will be fine. Awesome show of new plan to give a quick once for all." A lanky goblin, even on his knees, responds to the other two, weapon on his lap " If no work, then I sing song. Give boss great mood booster." A robed figure responds next to the group. Soon footsteps were heard.
The goblins grow silent as their boss appears to his throne, not even giving them a second glance as he walks by. After sitting on his throne, he puts his hand under his skin as he taps the armrest of the finger. "Listen well incompetent sub ordinates of mine. It seems our plan will be put on hold for a little bit, as a little birdie told me that a certain twig was on his way over. We'll squash him within our very home. And afterwards, we'll take a year, maybe even two, to recover our losses. By then, the siege may begin. A malevolent smirk plays onto the boss's face as the others give their agreement to his plan not daring to say otherwise.
