Nym nodded briefly at Lukas' words, before heading into the brush herself. There was no need for her to overwork herself - especially seeing as she was the only one who was sporting an injury of any kind. Not that it was an overly dangerous wound, but Nym knew it was better to be fully recovered than to push ahead with a possibly limitation. Jeforan would have killed her himself if he had seen her do anything else.
She shook herself at Izumi's words, before realising that the girl was continuing the conversation from before their fight had erupted. Oddly calm, considering. Which - I guess that's not a bad thing, but it just...seems weird. Maybe it's because she's getting more comfortable? But...why the hand? Nym figured it was a peculiar habit, and maybe one that she just happened to partake in. Jeforan had informed her that the Dread Knights were different from most folk, following the Dark God of Death - a dangerous thing in and of itself. Not that it swayed Nym's opinion of Izumi at all.
"That's true, it could be a bit unwieldy. And I guess it's more for slash and stab, instead of just stab. A Naginata...that sounds familiar, somehow. That's like a glaive, right? Maybe we can find one in town, later on?" She hadn't browsed the weaponry areas heavily - a quick peruse through to confirm that she was able to afford absolutely nothing at the time. She knew that one day, maybe, she'd be able to return and purchase...well, she wasn't entirely sure what. She had no shopping list of her own, just yet. "Maybe once we're back, I'll come with you. Wouldn't mind taking a look at options for myself."

After searching through the remains, Lukas had discovered a rough bark map tucked underneath one of the corpses, with a crude drawing of a tree with three hollows. He took a careful glance around, before disappearing into the foliage. A minute later, he re-emerged laden with equipment, all of it brightly polished with the help of a whetsone he kept on hand and a daub of mineral oil.
Returning to the other two, he handed Nym the sword and shield, before holding out the breastplate to Izumi. "Nym. Sword and shield. Newer. Looted from a military supply convoy three monthe ago. Izumi. Breastplate, your size. Change. I will...Go on patrol." He said, ignoring the faint trickle of sweat making its way down his chin as he strung his new bow. The four red bobbles he'd kept in his pocket, unsure what those were used for. With that, he disappeared back out into the woodland to give the girls some privacy.

"Yeah I think. It's kind of like a more curved katana on a pole for lack of a better comparison. It's one of..." It's one of what? Why do I even know about it in the first place? The memory she had of the weapon fading as she tried to explain more about it "It's one of the options I should check out. At the moment I don't have anything I need to buy so saving up for better gear seems like my best choice... Well after I do some more training at the guild, I really need to build up more stamina and learn movement skills eventually" she runs through her thought process organising a to buy list in her head
"Ah, thanks" She takes the breastplate and after sliding off her helmet, shirt and chainmail to try it on she discovers it's both a size too small and heavier than she expected "I can't use this comfortably" She sighs taking it off "Well we should probably keep hold of it to sell it right?" She asks as she sets it down and puts her chainmail and shirt back on "Maybe I should move armour up my to buy list" She comments as she places the helm back on her head

Nym glanced over the sword and shield, before giggling slightly. The sword - clearly longer and broader than her own - would've been too unwieldy for her, even if she hadn't been equipped with the shield itself. Taking the shield, she unclasped her original, placing it on the ground for a moment while she tested the new piece. It was similar in size and shape, the weight ever so slightly more than what her old one had - which didn't surprise her too much.
Shifting to look at Lukas, she gave a small nod, before waving a hand at the oversized blade. "I appreciate the idea, but unfortunately it's a...bit beyond what I normally use. More of a two-handers weaponry, which would mean I can't use the shield. Which...is kinda the focus of a paladin, so to speak. Being able to block, and all."
She followed her words up with a wink, before attempting to pat the man on the head slightly. She shifted slightly as Izumi speaks up, mentioning that the piece is also unusable - causing Nym's smile to broaden even more, which she attempted to hide behind her hand - and asks about keeping it to sell. "I would say so, yeah...I'm sure stuff like this is likely worth...well, at least something, right? I mean we may not be able to use it, but perhaps someone can? Or maybe the metal is useful to like, a blacksmith?"
Nym equips well-kept shield.

Coming back, Lukas had noticed that neither Izumi nor Nym had equipped all their things, which had caused him to raise an eyebrow. He looked at the breastplate, then Izumi's torso, before glancing over to the double-handed blade and Nym carrying a sword and shield. After moments of clear and definite thinking, realization dawned on him...Along with Nym patting him in the head? He looked at her with blank incomprehension for several seconds. Only one thought was permutating through his head at the moment. What?
After a few seconds he reached out to pat Nym on the head, in the hopes of ascertaining any possible purpose. When he failed, he simply shrugged and decided that headpats were not something he could understand as a mere mortal. He took the broadsword, using the crossguard to hook into the breastplate's strap, hauling it onto his shoulder in a peculiar pack. He patted Nym on the head one more time, still shrugging after a moment in confusion.
"We...should leave. This forest. Not safe. Trade in things for money." Lukas took a few steps back towards the trail, glancing back at them expectantly.

The heck? That was kinda cute Izumi holds back a snicker watching Lukas try to figure out the point of the headpat I almost feel left out She smiles, this time with much less of a creepy vibe to it "So we're heading back now?" She asks as she grabs Nym's old shield from the ground, carrying it under her arm
"We were going to go window shopping for weapons later do you want to come along?" She asks Lukas and then realising he isn't the type to tag along for no reason she adds "You'll need arrows for that bow right? We can pick some up in town" She gestures to the bow he's now carrying with him in an attempt to sort of sweeten the deal for him

Nym's gaze shifted between the two others, wondering at how quickly they had decided to return to the city. For a few seconds, she wavered - wondering if she was being too careless, or if they were being too cautious. Biting her lips, she considered the implications of both sides, before shrugging internally to herself. "Seems a bit early to head back, no? I mean we've been doing so well already, why not keep going? There's obviously some more to find here, which...seems to be worthwhile, no? Maybe we can find something decent for Izumi? Or maybe something decent for you, Lukas?"
For some reason, it just felt like a waste to Nym to leave so suddenly - and after they had only just begun their hunt. Her eyes shifted upwards towards the sky, noting that they still had plenty of light left in the day. Waving her hand along the brush the way they had come to enter the forest, she decided to offer a mid-way point, as if trying to compromise.
"What if we stick to the edges of the forest? Don't go in too deep, but see what we can find along the way? I mean, it costs what, twenty silver to get the full badge? Might be worth sticking out a bit longer, if we can collect some more and earn a better payday?" The idea felt logical to herself, but she wasn't sure how the other two would take it. Nothing to do but try and see, I guess. Worst comes to worst, we all head back to town for the day. We do still need to figure out lodgings, among other things...

A few seconds of thought passed through Lukas' head. He would probably keep the bow as a secondary weapon to his sword, but that would mean being unable to sell much beyond the two pieces they had, and his old knife. The expenses were already starting to pile up, and he couldn't protect the girls from starvation or disease without money. That would be neglecting his duty. On the other hand, however, looking specifically for danger....He nodded reluctantly, glancing over at Izumi.
"....If we find anything. We take it. Be careful. I take point." He added, glancing at Nym's injured leg, before slinging the bow over his shoulder and plunging into the woods. The injury nagged at him, stung of a breach of duty. Even if he was ambushed first, he'd make sure neither of them were injured if he could help it...

Izumi quickly changes pace, following Lukas into the woods. She hadn't exactly been too attached to the idea of leaving in the first place and she wouldn't be opposed to earning a bit more to put towards her equipment fund "If we get lucky and find something for me that's money saved" She concludes
"I don't think I can use any more skills though" Izumi notes with a huff "So don't expect the next fight to be as easy as that" she adjusts the shield under her arm and continues forward Maybe we were being hasty in heading back. They say better safe than sorry but we do also need to make more money if we want to survive Izumi sighs, realising her own lack of ambition with instantly dropping the hunt Be bolder next time she mentally notes

Nym smiled as the other two took off, leaving her - once again - towards the back. She shook her head at the thought, before quickly moving to catch up to Izumi. She couldn't help but notice how their group was both disorganised, and capable of facing off against almost any danger they had encountered so far. Which, in fairness, was only three minor Goblinoids...so far... She shrugged off the negative feeling. It was good to be cautious, but being too cautious was dangerous as well.
"I would say, it's fair to assume that we got lucky with our first fight. It would be important to always be careful - never get too full of ourselves, otherwise we're putting ourselves in danger, right?" She glanced ahead, looking for Lukas and making sure that the man was still visible. Even if he scouted ahead, Nym wanted to keep an eye on him - that way they could rush to his defence if they needed to do so. "Don't go getting too far ahead there, Lukas. It's dangerous out there alone, we need to stick together!"
Not that she felt the warning was necessary - if anything, the man seemed capable and controlled, and well aware of the dangers of this world. The way he treated the two of them definitely confirmed that for her, if nothing else. Still, it felt right to say it aloud. "I think you'll be able to use your skills again soon, from what I was told. Resting a bit makes it so we can reuse them, right? Or, at least that's what Jeforan told me - like for my magic, I need to meditate a bit to bring it back. So I need to be careful not to overdo it in battle..."

Reluctantly, Lukas pulled back from his forward scouting role, instead taking out his knife and beginning to clear a path for the others behind him with careful, practised strokes, hacking off green branches and shrubbery to blaze a separate, smaller trail from the main one. He listened to the girls talking behind him, shrugging as he listened to the forest around them. They were certainly making more noise than he wanted, and although they had to find prey somehow, he would prefer they not come in the form of another ambush. So thinking, he lashed the broadsword tightly to the breastplate so they wouldn't clink, before glancing back over at Nym thoughtfully.
She did have a point, and Izumi looked to be running herself ragged. Lukas broke through a nearby thicket into a small hollow, not large enough to be considered a clearjng, with a large three-topped oak standing at the center. He nodded to the tree and then the girls, still standing with the equipment he carried, fishing out a waterskin and tossing it to Nym, along with a clean cloth. "Nym. Izumi. Rest. Drink. Then I clean Nym's wound. I stand watch first. Dangerous to be tired here.'

"Yeah Choro said the same thing. I don't really get how meditating makes it so I can summon Abel though" She puts her index finger to her lips "She said Abel was like a reflection of myself so maybe it's a thing of finding myself through meditation?... I don't think explanation that works for other dark magics though" She shrugs assuming it's simply something magical that she couldn't understand
"Ah. Alright" She sits herself down to rest, placing Nym's old shield beside herself "As cute as Abel is I think light magic just seems much more convenient than dark magic" She concludes, that just happening to be where her thoughts took her. Having healing magic is far more important than just confusing or distracting enemies right? "Just don't tell anyone I said that or I might get sent to meet skullhell early"

Nym nodded as Lukas directed them to sit, letting herself lower slowly to the ground. She laughed at Izumi's commentary regarding the difference and benefits of light and dark magic, before shaking her head. Jeforan had been very stern in his viewpoint of the followers of Skullhell - trust them as much as you'd trust teaming up with a Goblinoid - but Nym figured that was just a devote believer's interpretation. She laid her head back against the tree she had settled down in front of, closing her eyes even as she answered, some of her words spoken as if repeating a lesson she had been taught.
"Our magical power comes from the gods themselves, in a form of energy within our very body...over time we learn to hold more and more of that energy, but with the beginning we need to carefully ration it. As we use our spells, that energy is consumed and used up. We can restore that energy by meditating - focus inwardly on yourself and pulling the energy from around you back into your core, but it requires time and peace." She tilted her head slightly to the right, not opening her eyes as she finished her thoughts aloud. "I'm also, so telling everyone that you said light magic is better."
The grin that split across her face as the words ended would've shown to anyone watching that Nym wasn't being serious, but she couldn't help taking the poke at Izumi. After a couple of seconds, she asked a follow up question to the girl. "Do you not think that the dark magic has anything beneficial? I mean, light magic will help us stay alive...but dark magic must have some sort of appeal, doesn't it?"

After they had made themselves comfortable, Lukas completed a basic perimeter sweep, hand resting on his knife as he glanced around, wary of any further ambushes. Outcasts, reputedly, were as the name suggested rather exiled from the rest of goblin society, if such a term could even be used to refer to goblin life. They shouldn't have any friends...But just in case, it never hurt to be careful. After all, they hadn't been too stealthy.
When he came back and knelt at Nym's feet, pulling one leg out in front of her with a gentle tug, however, he couldn't help but overhear the things they were discussing. Of theology and....Magic. Even though he had read up on both, something nagging at the back of his mind had made him suspicious of both. Living gods and this strange trickery of turning chants into powerful effects...It shouldn't work. For some reason. He couldn't put his finger on why, however.
Sluicing some of the water down Nym's leg, he carefully brushed with the cloth, making sure any clotted bloodstains were loosened enough for him to inspect the wound. A new and annoying voice abruptly chirped that Nym was rather cute and that perhaps this was improper...Then the other, larger part of him bashed that new voice over the head with familiar calculated logic, but not quite quickly enough for a bare tinge of color to briefly pass through his expression. He carefully wrapped the cloth underneath her leggings, passing it around by dint of a hook and two strings to pull it around.
"Gods are....Unreliable. Supposed power from rituals derived from unseen and unknown entities exist as an unknown quantity. And unknown quantities fail on the battlefield when you most need them." He said, in a tone that sounded suspiciously like a huff.
Then, surprisingly, he took out a tiny but unmistakable sewing kit and neatly patched up the rent in her leggings with sophisticated stitchwork. Apparently his fingers were deft and light enough to carry out such work with unknown practice, not that he'd shown any such talents before. "We...Should continue. Night here is more dangerous than day."

"That makes sense" Izumi nods picking up most of what Nym had said about meditation, smirking slightly when she jokingly threatens telling everyone "Well it isn't that dark magic isn't useful. It's just more... Selfish I suppose" She quickly summarises and then moves on "Most of the dark magic I can learn either strengthens myself or weakens a single enemy" she explains briefly
"The exception being demon call which when ranked up can be more of a team player but for now is just cute" She looks down and stretches her arm out debating on summoning her demon in that moment but deciding against it "Well my point is the spells encourage selfish use which is important sometimes but in general helping the team should take priority" she finally closes out, having made her opinion pretty clear she thought
After hearing Lukas' comment about gods being unreliable she can't help but agree. Even her own demon was somewhat temperamental, thus inconsistent and unreliable when needed most "As much as I agree with you Lukas, I'm going to indulge this god a bit so I can see if Abel gets any cuter" she persists, the apparent cuteness of the demon trumping her rationality as she keeps reiterating

She watched calmly as Lukas worked on her cut, deftly covering the wound and sealing it as best as he could before turning towards the leggings of her undersuit. As smoothly as he'd covered her wound, Lukas worked on her clothing, sealing away any sign of the tear entirely with his needle and thread. She eyed the piece once he was done, noting that the handiwork was well beyond anything she could've expected - and likely would've cost her a few dozen silver in town, from the few prices she had seen. "Thanks, Lukas."
"I'm with Izumi on this, sort of. Lumiaris doesn't really abandon people, not according to all the Paladins at the guild. And I mean, every time I tried to use my magic while in training, it worked out for me well. I mean, Lumiaris allowed me to heal all the people we were training on, at least..." She looked dubious for a second, as if considering her own argument and how limited it might be. A slight frown spread across her face, before shifting back into her normal smile. "But yeah, Lumiaris has always provided me the power to help others - and I think he'll always be there together."
Lukas had already pushed to continue onwards, something that Nym agreed with. "You're right, we shouldn't stay out too late...darkness will definitely work against us, and I've heard that Goblinoids can see better in the dark. At least, better than us."
Standing herself, she moved to follow Lukas, before turning back to wave at Izumi. She waited for the other girl to join them, before continuing into the woods behind Lukas, keeping an eye out for any more creatures that were hiding in the tree areas. She figured they had another few hours, at least, that they could continue moving deeper before they had to turn around and start back home. Home. Such an odd thought. Is this place really home? Not like I have anywhere else to call home, though...

There were a few seconds of rather skeptical looking at Izumi as she extolled the purported cuteness of her demon, Abel. He found the prospect of her consorting with demons somewhat concerning and probably dangerous to her health, but in the end he simply shrugged, accepting Nym's thanks with a wordless nod and continuing on. He kept an eye on the rays of sunlight that poked their way through the upper branches, measuring their brightness and color with an instinctive familiarity. He admitted to himself that the prospect of killing more goblins had perhaps persuaded him more than the potential monetary value of such. There was still a coal of slowly-burning anger that turned his eyes sharper, his ears keener, in the hopes of picking up any tracks. He knew that somehow, somewhere, some of his comrades had met their end at the hands of this race, and that he should consider them all enemies to actively war against, no matter what affiliation he wore as an external badge.
Then, a faint glimmer of light caught at his eye, a brief flash of red and soot that had moved into view for just a moment across the treeline. Immediately, he fell into a hunting crouch, before following it along...He came across a curious sight, two outcast Goblins, each carrying torches and bearing a rabbit slung upon their shoulders, being harangued by a larger and more well-built goblin, who used a spear to poke them faster along, presumably back to whatever camp they had. His eyes narrowed as he took in the makeshift armor the goblin had, and the satchel it carried possessively, next to the buckler on its arm. "Two outcasts. One.....Warrior variant." He murmured to the others, already creeping closer in through the bushes. This time, he would let the girls take the lead on the hunt, letting them test out their tricks.

Skill attack: Hatred(roll+Str vs con) HU4qu9|ip_
She stands and stretches slightly before making haste in following her companions, carrying Nym's old shield under her arm yet again. She keeps an eye out for any signs of danger herself but of course Lukas finds them first. When he comes to report their numbers and class to them she takes that as a prompt to leap into action "I'll count on you to take the warrior" she notifies Nym
Izumi takes point, she dropped Nym's old shield and ran out toward the first goblin outcast "Hatred!" She exclaims and swings her sword down at the goblin, all while glaring at the fighter with a crazed look in her eye contrary to her calm demeanor from moments prior

Nym shifted alongside Izumi, moving carefully so as not to make a sound that would call the attention of the Goblinoids towards them - and then Izumi suddenly shouted out, rushing forwards with a speed that left Nym standing in the middle of the woods, blinking in surprise. For a breath of time, she tried to process what had just occurred, before realising that the Goblinoids were beginning to react to Izumi's attack. Err, failed attack. Shit. She missed. I need to get in there!
Nym rushed forwards, attempting to place herself between Izumi and the Goblinoids, bringing her shield up as she considered her options. The best bet would be to put down one of the threats, and hope that it stayed down. Not that it would make the fight much better - but at least then they could stand on a ground that left them outnumbering their enemy. "May the Light of Lumiaris guide my blade!"
She wasn't sure why she shouted that, but somehow it felt right. It felt Paladiny, at least in her mind. She lashed out with her longsword, aiming for one of the creatures in front of her - an Outcast, if she wasn't mistaken - as it tried to jump backwards from her assault.

In his peripheral vision, Lukas could see Nym and Izumi attempting to engage, but unfortunately missing their marks by a hair's-breadth. Luckily the goblins seemed just as surprised as the girls, the haphazard thrust made by the fighter missing its mark. Lukas erupted out of the bushes, slicing across one goblin's torso and already marking him as dead as ichor gushed through the air...But surprisingly, the goblin seemed to have managed to evade a fatal hit just in time, staggering back up and brandishing the knife in his hand with a ferocious leer.
"Izumi. Nym. Take the outcasts. I'll handle the fighter." He said calmly, even as Lukas strode towards the fighter, blades at the ready.
Roll: Hit on Goblin Outcast, dealt damage equal to 7. Goblin ability trigger, left on 1 LP.
He didn't waste time in employing his usual attack, sweeping up the shortsword in an artistically deadly arc while his knife plunged downwards. To his surprise, however, the goblin fighter managed to position his shield to block the sword, staggering back with a wound to his chest from the knife and cursing Lukas out in his rough tongue.
Lukas' eyes narrowed as he settled into a fighting crouch. Rather than giving into panic, this goblin seemed to have actual battlefield experience. He'd be the first enemy soldier Lukas would fight thus far..A valuable experience.
Round 2: Roll: Hit on Goblin Fighter, dealt damage equal to 7. Goblin ability used, damage halved
