20 Scouting (2/2)
”Wait really?”
Lurk asked that, knowing that of course they would attack. Even he was curious what they had. Was it dangerous? Was it useful. Would the kobolds become stronger and become a bigger threat. Though he was not sure if this what was Aurk thought, or simply he wanted kobold casserole for dinner.
”Yes. if we could find their nest it would be even better.” Aurk said without hinting at a perticular reason. Goblins might not need reasons Lurk Surmised. After keeping an eye out on the city, watching the kobolds appear and disappear on occasion. They guessed the numbers to be around 7 or 8. They were moving bags and a crate from one building to another. Slowly and quietly. Instead of moving a single bag all the way out of the city. They would run back and forth meaning there was quite a lot of stuff being hauled.
”I wonder what it is they found?” Lurk asked quizzically
”What ever it is, they will be at the edge of the city before nightfall.. Hmm We will reunite with the others. Frel will decide on this. Come” Aurk said as he began crawling back down the hill for a bit making sure to be out of sight and then moving normally down into the forest again. Lurk quietly followed. During the time spendt his Skills updated a few times so he knew someone was watching out for enemies down in the city.

(”This system is weird, this literally confirms when someone is actively looking for you too... I guess this means no one else has this system but me. So its not that kind of world..”)
Making their way back, along their normal patrol route they came to a large rock that speared out of the ground high up into the air. They met with Sala and Vorm that were hiding near it.
”Sala and Vorm saw nothing special, but got these rabbits!” Sala showed a few rabbits in her hands proudly, Vorm stayed hidden keeping his eyes opened towards the forest.
”Well we found something, Kobolds dragging loot from the fallen human nest.” Aurk said just as Frel appeared out of the forest. Aurk then explained in greater detail to Frel while i sat with Sala and Vorm keeping a lookout.
”Sala will for sure kill more kobolds than Lurk!” Sala smirked and stared at me, i merely smiled at her.
Fighting for resources and territory, i sigh inwardly. Maybe i can raise my value in the group, at the very least i want to make sure nothing happens to Sala and Aurk, maybe even Vorm.
”I will go back to gather a group to come to the human nest, you take the others and assault them before they escape with the loot, scare them off or kill them.” Frel said to Aurk, before he began heading back towards the cave.
(”huh.. well i guess he would be the only one that could make the other goblins come out. Out of all the Sun Soakers he seems to be the only one the goblins would acknowledge”) Lurk pondered as he followed behind Aurk back towards the ruined city.
”lets go kill some kobolds!” Aurk said, and a odd sensation ran down Lurks neck as everyone grinned, even he felt a smirk and a urge building.
