The beast croaked out a monstrous ribbit that reverberated throughout the cavern. This caused a stalactite to fall from the ceiling and impale Ironfist through his skull, and his neck. He was nigh on forty and he was dying of black lung. Ironfist wanted this to be the last hunt he accompanied the warriors with. I suppose he got his wish. Just not the way he wanted it.”

“What happened next? What happened next” asked the blonde pigtailed goblin excitedly.

“Well, child, Hackskull began. The beast then jumped high into the air onto the Woodjaws, pinning him to the ground. It gored him with its razor sharp, triangular teeth. Woodjaws lost his jaw to a mace blow, as a child and so fashioned himself a wooden replacement, much like Ironfist. Axefist was the same way, except he attached a literal axe where his fist had been. He lost his hand in a duel with the father of a girl he had been romancing the father, wanted his daughter to have nothing to do with a rascal like Axefist, who was well-known for skirt-chasing.

Woodjaws managed to stab its throat several times before he died. It was attempting to crawl away. Shatterbrains, and I covered our heads with our shields to avoid the gaze of the beast. In despreration, the frog attempted to grab Shatterbrains with its tongue, but I held the weasel up just in time. The monster recoiled in disgust, and backed up, leaving a trail of crimson blood, and it ran into a dead end in a confined tunnel. By this point, it was dying and had collapsed, awaiting its end. Shatterbrains and I plunged our axes into the beast’s skull, once we were close enough. Then, as was procedure, we carefully cut out the beast’s eyes to prevent the beast from killing us with its gaze even in death. We cut the beast's stomach open in an attempt to get Axefist out. We retrieved a skeleton.” Hackskull said, trying to hold back tears.

“A bittersweet ending." an adult goblin observed. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!

“That wasn’t the end." Hackskull said. "Now we get to the good sappy part. Shatterbrains and I were the lucky ones. It was the worst warrior’s excursion we ever took. I told Shatterbrains to make his way back to Goblin City and get someone to take our dead back. I decided to hack the beast’s head off, get the thing stuffed, and I decided that the beast’s head needed to be a reminder to the goblins of the nature of sacrifice, so I had it hung up here in this hall, rather than keep it as a trophy for bragging rights. It is meant to be a talking point on the nature of sacrifice and courage.” Hackskull said

the smell of burnt food became ever present. “Fakk, the Pyragas burnt!” The chef cursed in goblin language before he slapped the assistant chef for his mistake, knocking off his chef’s hat, and then he and berated him. The burnt Pyragas were taken out of the clay oven and tossed out the window. Other assistants made the preparations to make another pie; meanwhile the burner of the Pyragas hung up his chef’s hat and left the hall feeling dejected over his failure.

Hackskull pointed to a gold plaque engraved with writings in the gold in the goblin language. “See the plaque beneath the beasts head, it reads “Forget not, lest they be forgotten. In memory of Moldbreath the Vain, Baby-faced Toadeyes, Ironfist the Impaled, Feralbrain the Mad, Axefist the Swallowed and Woodjaw The Gored. May their sacrifice never be forgotten; and much like we sacrificed much to slay that particular basilisk, Annie here has sacrificed much more in her fight on the surface and fought a fight that she had reason to fight against a beast of her own. What do you suppose that means?! Hackskull asked. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!

A long silence engulfed the hall. "That we drink to her courage and valor?” a young goblin, barely eight years old asked. “Exactly!” Hackskull said grabbing Shatterbrains’ tankard, while Shatterbrains was there, and drinking Shatterbrains’ ale. Shatterbrains was not impressed by this, but he didn't want to disrupt the party. Instead, he grabbed another guest's tankard, and poured more ale. Looking once again at the entrance to the banquet hall. The Goblin jester arrived, dressed in a ridiculous yellow and purple stiped jumpsuit and a jester’s hat.

With the Jester's arrival, all guests present took their seats. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!

Annie:

An hour and thirty minutes had passed. Dinner was at last ready. The meat-- that was set out were two legs, and two breasts to each of the guests-- The meat was green but it smelled delicious. “We call these creatures "cave cluckers." The chef said. "They are like your surface chickens, but they are very aggressive. We have to sedate them to kill them, else they may pluck out an eyeball while taking them to the butcher. Very smart creatures, they seem to know when they are about to be killed.” The chef told Annie, before placing the brown gravy on the table. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!

Erik:

Atleisti nodded, he took any wounded he could off the streets, including women and children unable to flee. Gradually, he set up beds side by side in the wooden building. Then he drew a circle of yellow mana around the house. “Should any vampire set foot inside, they will be greatly weakened, some may even outright die. That Breaker? Not so much. Keep him away. If he gets through, I will have to defend the wounded.”

Meanwhile Burgrod, and Zurga set up their circle around the makeshift hospital. Other guardsman gathered around the defensive line. Twelve warriors clad in iron breast plates, iron grieves, iron gauntlets, and steel helmets armor, 5 mages in black robes, and green hoods and eleven mercenaries dressed in a uniform of high-quality steel horned helmets, steel breastplates, spiked iron pauldrons on both shoulders, iron grieves, and steel boots came out of the tavern with weapons drawn, and spells in hand. They made their way to the defensive line chased by elven vampires.

Pallidus flew back up, and immediately flew down. “We face a large raid party. I’d say these are the bandits, but I am unsure. If they are, I see no Clan Gern heraldry. Not a single Vampiric Venus Flower insignia on their armor, but their armor is clearly well-made for mere bandits, perhaps suggesting some level of cooperation.” Palidus said, before flying back up. Seeing a large pile of bricks on the roofs of nearby buildings, Pallidus took out a burlap sack and filled it with bricks except for one which he was going to use to target the Breaker with an attempt to lure it away from the battle on the streets and give Atleisti relative safety.
Flying in a downward arch towards the breaker and then swooping up, he launched the brick into the helmet of the blue-skinned vampire, causing the Breaker to wince from the pain. Seeing Pallidus as an annoyance more than anything, He pointed the flying bird man out to his fledgeling archers, who singled out Pallidus, and fired Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!

Firing as many arrows as they could. Pallidus arched around a building and took to the ground, barely avoiding being made into a pincushion full of arrows in the process. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!

Sakura:


Sakura: Kneeling as she did so, Sakura positioned her hands on either end of the shaft of her double-bladed, double-sided masakari. Georgy, pinned back to the ground by the samurai, who was attempting to slide the back blade of the axe across Georgy’s neck in a sawing motion. If only she had more time to bring salvation to the vampire filth. For she heard an unfamiliar feminine whisper in her ear. Sakura had been snuck up on. “Mortal… I am surprised you are giving my brother such a hard time.” the soft soothing voice whispered. Sakura had no way of knowing it, but Rina had a knife pointed at the back rib on her left side, and she was ready to stab her.

It appeared that the vampire had bested Corvus. She shot a bolt of blue mana at Georgy, seemingly dispelling whatever hold Sakura had over Georgy. Geogry slowly got up “Surely you cannot take us both…” Rina said licking her lips. “The little samurai looks so luscious does she not, Georgy?” Rina asked softly. “Yes, my love, Such lovely nape on neck! Such dreadful magic the samurai uses, sister. Surely such abomination must be punished, yes?” Georgy asked in his usual broken English. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!

Erithicus was busily gnashing away at his rope with the pottery shard, until the rope finally snapped. Erithicus quietly went to the broken cart and picked out a blowpipe, darts and a vial of liquid labeled

“Sixty-Nine Times Blessed Holy Water.”

"Such a lie" Erithicus said of the liquid quietly.

"The Priests of old only blessed the vial three times, but denoting it as blessed sixty-nine times, and jacking up the price to 85 fangs was clever." he thought to himself. Healers love this stuff; I never thought I'd have to use my own merchandise." he said to himself finally.

Erithicus dipped a dart into the holy mixture, and placed it in the pipe, just in case he were discovered. Then he took to the shadows to check on Corvus, everyone was so busy fighting that they didn’t notice that the formerly defenseless Erithicus had broken free of his bonds.
Once he got there, Erithicus checked for a pulse. He felt one on the nape of Corvus’s neck. Silently, Erithicus dragged Corvus’ unconscious body into the shadows of the cavern to care for him. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!
