Chapter 60 Impromptu Party. (2/2)
He decided to go towards the closest settle to where the caravan was attacked The possibility of running into the bandits was high, they could have a hidden camp somewhere in the mountains as well
His three new companions would stand out quite a bit Two ether If the slave traders survived they would probably start searching for their runaways
“Yes, that would be a good place to move We can find provisions for our journey back ho on some tea Roland was an avid tea drinker and he did have soh the fresh water caic item It was a steel tea kettle that had a small lesser rune on it, when mana was inserted water would be produced
“Lady Aredhel you should go to sleep, it has been a long day, I atch over you”
The quartet had moved to a different cave but it wasn’t far away frooblin blood would attract on was already rested as he had passed out after getting stabbed Soon after he was healed by Aredhel which now gave hiht
Roland was a bit apprehensive about having three unknown people around hiical ite theo off as well as a shi+eld would be placed around his body
This was only a precaution as he didn’t really think that they would dispose of his for thee He already helped them as well, there wasn’t any reason for them to think that he would double-cross them He had the chance to kill the the slave collars
Roland finally leaned back against one of the walls He had a pillow for hiainst the hard rock before resting He already knew that he wouldn’t be sleeping that much but he could at least rest his eyes
It took hirace was that he could feel out his new companions and as he reasoned they didn’t cause any trouble
He got a couple of hours of sleep and was up just as the sun was rising At the entrance, he could see a snoozing green skin The big lug was supposed to take over Logon’s shi+ft but had apparently dozed off in the h to scare off so”
Roland nodded at Aredhel while standing up He placed his hand on his own neck and gave out a grunt
“Yeah, good nore his stiff neck The reeted hily positive about her situation He wasn’t sure if it was just an act or just a character trait
“Think we should ht happen”
Roland nodded at Logon’s call out Staying in this place for too long would be a bad idea They would need at least three days to get to the settleree, we should probably hunt soht with me will run out soon…”
Roland didn’t expect to have party members that he would need to feed He also didn’t have that s They were mostly filled with various tools and materials
“You should probably wake hi loudly and scratching his behind It was surprising how relaxed he was and hoell he could sleep on the rocky ground
They all finally gathered up Roland lent Logon some spare shoes and some sandals to Aredhel as he felt sorry for their shabby looks Walking barefoot for three days would probably be very taxing He didn’t have anything for the half-orc though, but that one looked co without any boots on
They started going, Logon and Golgrim were in the front with Aredhel in the reatest set up as they didn’t have anyone with a scout or tracking like class He would need to use his detection device to somehow fill that role
The acolyte was the weakest of the group so they decided to put her in the middle She could healspells
It didn’t take the party long to oblins this time around These creatures that they ca new that even Roland had never seen before
Adolescent Bocanach [ L 46 ]
He identified the creature's na lanky ars had hooves and it looked like a Satyr below the waist This was a type of goat iant horns and crooked teeth It wasn’t alone as there was a si one next to it, at a similar level as well
This hen he noticed the weakness of this party The ririave out a roar that caused the two monsters to focus on him This would be a fine start but the loud scream also alerted more of theseout froon decided to move back
“Get behindto his duties as a bodyguard a bit too ed into the distance leaving the rest of the party behind What was left was a fight at two fronts with also losing the eleuys don’t really knoork together…’
Aredhel complained while her companion stuck to her like a tick Two other Bocanachs came out from the sides and locked on the two elves
It was lucky that they ignored hiave Roland ample time to use his wand that he had repaired the day before A bolt of heated energy collided with one of the goat heads The screa
This would have been a goodblow To Roland’s surprise, the man didn’t want to abandon his lady, he was probably afraid that soht happen to her if he moved too far away
“Tch…”
Roland clicked his tongue while firing off another spell towards the other ot his horn blown off in the process It then charged forward thethe most trouble
It would have been an easy battle if the tarriors kept the monsters busy He could then fire off spells froe was one of the worst things a frontline warrior could do
The creature was now close and charging with its head lowered It wanted to iood horn
Roland wasn’t such an easy target though He was someone close to level 70, thanks to the blacksmith class he now had stats co sword froht ed to the side Thearound to have another go at it, it saw a flash of blue light
This was the tip of Roland’s enchanted sword and the runic version of the ical skill connected with the goat creature’s upper body
With Roland’s ence, he could really cause so hole that appeared in the monster's huround right after while giving out a strange wail Roland then turned around to see the othera hit to the face it was disoriented but not dead It possessed a thick skull which on decided toblow to the confused creature He did it only after it got too close to where the wo was The two creatures were dead and after a bit, the half-orc returned as well He was covered in scratches and even so his wounds quickly while Roland scratched his head Besides the tarriors, the acolyte that was supposed to buff the party didn’t do anything The woman lacked combat experience and probably was too nervous to act
‘This… maybe I should have left them in that cave…’
