Journey Of Two

A booming voice rang out throughout the tavern from the place here the door used to be "It's time for you all to 'contribute' the the greater cause" "Where are the ones who will be coming to 'contribute' from here hmm?". As the voice rang out Meg behind the counter was shaking in fear while the rest of the people in the tavern were doing the same, covering in fear. "Oh? It appears that no one is volunteering. Does this mean you all want to 'contribute?"

Coming downstairs the pair, Febbs and Shalador saw a man in long black robes with a hood covering his face speaking of some kind of contributions. Other then the man in the black robes that pair saw a larger version of the goblins from before and two of the normal sized goblins each running towards someone the people in the tavern.

Muttering to himself "Damn… we should have left even earlier than this!" Shalador muttered with a grumble. Looking towards Meg behind the counter Shalador saw her trying to say something to him but he was unable to make out what she wa tyng to say.

The man in the black robes took one more look around the room before commanding 'Go grab that man over there" while pointing towards a man hiding in the corner of the room "and her!" this time while pointing at Meg.

"Febbs, what do you think we should do?" looking to his side after not hearing a response he saw that Febbs wasn't actually standing there. Quickly trying to find Febbs, Shalador saw him running towards the man in the black robe while screaming

"NOT MEG!". Hearing what his companion was muttering Shalador began to feel that maybe his compaintion wasn't all that bright when it comes to making plans.

"Oh and who might you b-" before the man in the black robes was able to finish his sentence a scaley fist had already arrived in front of his face.

After getting a hit in on the man in black robes Febbs pulled out his staff and tried swinging it at the man in the robes but the large brute of a goblin next to him grabbed the other side of the staff. Seeing that he was unable to easily get his staff back Febbs struggled for a moment in an attempt to full it back when a bolt of fire struck the brute causing it to lose its grip allowing Febbs to pull his staff back.

Seeing his companion getting his staff back slador turned his attention towards the two goblins wo were still making an attempt at grabbing the people they were ordered to. As Shalador was staring at them he muttered once more causing three blue arrows to appear above him. Willing them to go the three arrows shot towards the two goblins.

The first two arrows were able to give a major injury to the goblin going towards the guy in the corner while the third arrow was only able to give a small injury to the goblin going to Meg.

During the fight in the forest Shalador used a lot of his magic and as a result had only enough left to cast one or two spells and although he had some time to rest upon arriving in the town it wasn't enough to allow him to regain his exhausted magic. "At least they could have waited till i regain some of my magic but noooooo" Shalador complained while pulling out a small dagger from his waist.

Taking a couple of careful steps towards the goblin running towards Meg, Shalador lunged his dagger toward it after coming into close enough range. The golin after noticing a dagger coming towards his leaped out of the way before engaging in a exchange of attacks with the mage.

Occupied by the giant brute in front of him Febbs ignored the man in the black robes and began swinging his staff at the brute while avoiding it being grabbed by the giant goblin.

After getting a couple of hits in Febbs was starting to cause serious wounds on the brute and even began to cause some internal wounds on it.

Seeing that the goblin was almost defeated by the wizard and the giant goblin was similarly almost defeated by the blue lizard the man in the black robes sneered while pulling out two daggers and throwing them at the unsuspecting victims.

Seeing the daggers flying towards them Febbs and Shalador tried to move out of the way but it was too late.

*Thud* *Thud*

Two boys feel to the floor with a dagger sticking out of each of them. After the body's feel a voice rang out once more in the tavern, "Useless, Both of them".

While Febbs and Shalador were fighting against their opponents they suddenly noticed a dagger flying towards them but unfortunately their opponent noticed the dagger too an prevented them from moving out of the way. Knowing that they had no no other option both Shalador and Febbs prepared for the worst when they felt nothing hit them and heard two thuds.

Seeing that the giant goblin and the smaller one both had a dagger logged in them Febbs and Shalador were confused when they heard the voice saying that they were useless and then the voice rang once more "Well what are you waiting for? Now the useless ones are gone i'd like to see how you both deal with me"

By this point both of them were heavily exhaust and couldn't fight for much longer thus Febbs tuned to look at Shalador for a moment. Knowing what his companion was thinking Shalador nodded and closed his eyes and began to mutter, casting one more spell using the rest of his magic.

Seeing Shalador begin to cast a spell Febbs got a giddy and static began to form around his mouth.

Feeling that something wasn't right the man in black robes became more vigilant before laughing and thinking to himself [If they could barely hold out against mere goblins then what need do i have to worry].

All of a sudden Shaladors eyes shot open and a giant fireball appeared and shot towards the black robed man. At the same moment that the fireball was made and launched Shalador open his mouth and a streak of lightning shot through the air towards the black robed man.

Feeling a great amount of danger the black robed man tried to defend against the attacks but was unable to and instead was only able to shout "NO! NO! NOOOO!"

*Thud*

After the black robed man fell to the ground Febbs when up to him and after checking that there was still a pulse he smiled before pulling some rope out of his bag and bega to tie the black robed man up. Somewhat realizing what he was doing he turned to Meg while saying awkwardly "Uh Meg i promise im only tying him up because i have to. It's not because i like tying people up or anything"

When he turned to Meg he didn't see the expected pity smile but instead saw the goblin that both he and Shalador forgot about holding a dagger to her while screaming something in some kind of language that they weren't able to understand.

"I'm sick of being the victim!" Meg shouted while turning around and kicking the goblin a couple of feet back. Seeing that there was some room now between the goblin and Meg Febbs threw his staff to the goblin causing it to fall down as well".

"Meg are you okay?" Febbs quickly asked while running up to her

"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for the uhh is your friend okay?" Meg responded while curiously looking towards Shalador.

Hearing her words Febbs turned t see Shalador wobbling for a moment before collapsing to the ground.

"Shalador!" seeing him fall to the ground Febbs shouted while running to him.
