Prob’ly how they found us, and how the big boy rallied a bunch a’ smaller shits ta’ come after us, knowin’ we were a big score. Only reason ta’ ‘waste’ all this meat, too.”
You frown, and shake your head. No good deed seems to go unpunished…
“Hey, hey Tips!” Crazzi shouts to you, from where she has begun poking the bodies curiously with her clawed fingers. “This one’s alive!”
You hurry over to her side and see that, indeed, one of the goblin slavers is just barely clinging to live, breathing gurgling, bloody breaths through a pulped face. He is missing a leg, while his arms are so broken that they flops freely like tentacles when Carazzi lifts and drops one. He does not even seem to register your presence, so close to Death’s Domain that he is beyond pain.
“Can I—”
“No eating goblins,” you gently remind her. “Or people in general.”
Carazzi whines, and flops onto her back in protest, but obliges you.
You regard the nearly-dead goblin. By this point, you’ve managed to regain enough aura to cast a pair of healing spells <Cure Wounds> and <Monstrous Regeneration>--such that you could keep him alive and maybe even get him walking again. It would deplete your energies anew, but you’re also apparently quite close to the sanctuary of the Neme, and you’ve seen no trouble for some time now.
“Six male trolls’ll put th’ fear in pretty much any other fucker ‘round here,” Zith-Zi remarked earlier. “Bet they cleared th’ damn place out, for now at least. No wonder they wanted ta’ nab us so bad.”
Still, if this goblin (who is ALREADY a thief, murderer, and slaver, or at least kept the company of their like) really worth the effort? Especially if, as Zith-Zi suspects, eh repaid your kindness by telling the trolls where to find you?
