11 Sun Soakers (2/2)
”...I am Lurk.”
Lurk was rather shocked at being thrown through the air, and as he was hanging from Frel's grip having been lifted up so he could look straight into Lurk's eyes. Frel nodded at Lurks straight forward answer, putting Lurk under his arm while dragging a bag of goods along. He headed towards a horizontal crack in the wall, that went in rather deep and then exited into the middle of a passageway/room that was about 30 feet deep 10 feet wide on either end of the crack, each that ended off at both ends with many roots covering the walls.
Frel walked to one end, putting Lurk down on the ground. 3 other goblins were putting down their sacks and items and turned to look at Frel and the newcomer. Lurk noticed that all of these goblins like Frel looked a lot more like he did in his body shape - Like tiny humans without the excessive body differences from the other goblins. No out of proportioned traits in these, Except for one of the goblins - who seemed to be sporting two mounds hidden behind rags on its chest.
(”..Huh a goblin female.. its the first one I have seen so far. If it was not for the slightly bigger ears, hands and those bigger canines she would pass off a miniature human girl - along with all the other goblins in here.. this is a weird bunch..they have the same looks as me, though i have not seen my face yet.”)
Frel opened his bag and threw some cloth rags at Lurk.
”Gather the rest of your own items like a proper goblin.. This is Lurk gobs. No chopping he is a sun soaker like us, Sala handle Lurk til he is grown. ” (Frel)
After stating that calmly he dropped off a smaller bag to one of the other goblins, he went down into the other end of the cave and began unpacking his things.
Holding onto the rags in his hands Lurk looked at the 3 goblins. Sala the female goblin stared at him with a frown on her face, they were all taller than normal goblins due to most goblins actually being slightly hunched over.
She had black hair that was tied up in a pony tail and had loing cloth rag and wrapped rags around her chest. With two actually leather bracers on her arms. The biggest goblin had his right arm covered in what appeared to tiny piece of wolf fur, and also sporting a loincloth with a belt that had many pouches.
His left eye was missing with scars running down that side of his face, and short black hair. The last goblin was tiny, this was the smallest adult goblin he has seen. Frail was a word to describe this goblin with, but he had ragged pants as opposed to the loincloth, his body was completely bald making him look even more pitiful.
”Tsk.. Why should Sala take care of you.. You look Scrawny and tiny..” (Sala)
”..I am a spawnling.. I will get bigger..” (Lurk)
*Bonk* Sala promptly did a not so gentle fist onto Lurks head. Causing him to hold onto his head rubbing it.
”Pff. You are scrawny and tiny now gob! Sala is strongest one, ... After Frel of course.. So you will do what I say!..” (Sala)
”..Ow! Yes yes. Just do not go bonking my head like that..” (Lurk)
*Bonk*
”Nope!. Sala decides when to bonk! That is Vorm and that is Aurk. We are now your Party”
[Party activated - Sala, Vorm, Aurk, Lurk]
Lurk rubbed his head once more, and the 3 goblins turned around to their items and began to lay them out on the ground. The bag left by Frel was opened and meat was taken out. Aurk shared it with everyone leaving Lurk last.
”I am Aurk.. gege. Do not act weak. Learn from us.. Live longer..” (Aurk)
Aurk was the one eyed goblin. Now seeing him up closer as he handled the meat he could tell that the hand with the wolf pelt on it was not moving as well as the other. Clearly it was not just his eye that was maimed, also his arm was crippled. Lurk had to give this goblin credit. Living in this kind of group and being maimed to this degree and remaining alive, he was gonna be sure to listen to what this goblin had to say.
He handed Lurk the meat that turned out to be the same boar meat. Looking over at Vorm who just stared at Lurk for a brief moment before sitting down eating his portion of the food.
(”.. Looking forward to working with you..”) Lurk thought to himself as he ate his food looking at the odd trio. Before laying down on the rags and closing his eyes.
