"Right!" Izumi quickly corrects her previous miss by dashing at the goblin outcast Lukas hit and finishing it off with a stab to the chest "Vice accumulated!" She exclaims, sounding like she's having far too much fun given the situation. She quickly slices off the goblin's hand as well and marveling at the kill for a moment before coming to an odd thought given the situation
Isn't Lukas way stronger than us? Is that weird? I mean he is a guy Izumi shakes the thought off refocusing on the fight at hand, moving in to position to help Nym with the second outcast if necessary

Izumi and Lukas had rushed forwards again, lining up and attack the Goblins without mercy - with Izumi taking down the Outcast that Lukas had harmed originally. Something about the way his blade had pierced it left Nym wondering how the creature was still standing, but before she could consider it too much the fight was moving onwards.
"Nice one Izumi!" She shifted her weight, placing herself in front of the warrior-like Goblin, trying to figure out a way past its defences. Like herself, it was using its shield to cover most of its body - leaving little open for someone hoping to end its life. "You two focus on the other loner, I've got this guy..."
She hoped that was true, as she moved to the side of the armoured Goblinoid. The thing followed her, keeping toe-to-toe with her movements in a way that made her wonder if it hadn't gone through some sort of training itself. Doesn't matter. What I need to do here is end this, right here and now. I need to find a way to beat it down...that way we can move on. Plus, that thing hurts. A lot. The gash in her side was still bleeding, the spear have slid in just beneath the breastplate. Thankfully, it hadn't hit anything major - yet.

Engaged with the other goblin, Lukas didn't hear the goblin sneaking up behind him until it was too late. A bright flash of pain erupted along his upper arm, causing him to spin around reflexively, carving a bloody gash across the outcast's chest. However, he also dropped to one knee shortly after, sweat streaming down his forehead after his recent exertions. Three attacks within the span of as many seconds was too much, even for himself.

Izumi takes the opportunity provided by Lukas to run in and stab the goblin "Wh-" She misses as the goblin swerves out of the way and she falls forward "Ow..." She grumbles and quickly tries to stand before the goblin attacks again That was the perfect time to try the fall over and act cute plan actually... not that it would've worked she shakes her head trying to refocus again as she struggles to stand

She saw as Lukas and Izumi rushed towards the final Goblinoid, Lukas managing to catch the thing with his blade. For a second, she thought she saw the creature falter, as if he had hit something vital - and then, just as suddenly, it was continuing its rampage, trying to slash at Lukas with its small blade in hand. Nym could see the almost animalistic look that had taken over the Goblinoid - turning it from a creature, into something far, far worse in her eyes.
"Hey! Stupid! I'm over here!" She called out towards the Goblinoid, setting her shield and hoping that it would change course and come to attack her - anything to get it away from Lukas. The creature, however, seemed more focused on maintaining its assault on her friend. She considered rushing forwards, considering going to help the man, but her own wounds held her back. It would be foolish for her to rush in to help, when she herself was already so badly off compared to the other two - and besides, there was still two on one, and Izumi had managed to drop the first one with little issue after Lukas had stabbed it. "Gonna have to leave it to them, I guess. That's the smart thing to do."

Unfortunately for Lukas, it appeared that someone else had decided to capitalize on his exhaustion, as he felt another searing flash of pain along his back, causing him to growl and turn around, although he didn't attempt any retaliation.
He knew that simply swinging without any technique or thought would only exhaust him further and lead to a quicker death. While keeping the last goblin within his point of view, he steadied his breathing, even if it would leave him unable to react in time. He'd simply have to sacrifice some more pain on the altar to victory, something he was eerily certain he'd done before.

Izumi regains her balance and finally strikes the goblin with her sword, finishing it off "Vice accumulated..." She huffs, the exhaustion really hitting her. She cuts off the goblins hand and places it in her satchel with the other two "Abel's going to eat well tonight" She sinisterly snickers before offering Lukas her hand to help him up "Sorry I couldn't get it earlier" She apologises, her unsettling grin already no longer present
"Well that's probably all we can do today right? You're both injured and it's getting dark, we should head back" Izumi suggests feeling kind of guilty that she's the only uninjured one I can thank them both for that but I don't want to have them getting injured for my sake. I should get better with my offensive skills too so fights don't drag out like that she pulls on her bangs for a moment but loses her train of thought beyond that "Let's grab all we can and head back... Is that okay?" She asks thinking she's maybe being a bit pushy ordering them like that

Nym was tired. Exhausted, really, if she were being honest with herself. It had taken far more out of her than she had expected, the fight with the most recent group of Goblinoids. Her entire body ached, and she felt like she just wanted to sleep for the next few years - if that were at all possible. "I think...we should definitely take a break for a while...maybe after that we can...you know, try one more group? I mean, we still need to find you some nice...shoes...or something."
She wasn't sure why the word shoes had popped into her mind - likely the exhaustion taking hold and just grasping at whatever came to mind immediately. Before either of the two could argue, Nym had begun the slow trek back towards the roadway, determined to at least find somewhere comfortable to relax for a while - somewhere that was less likely to be an easy ambush point by small, greenskinned beings that really, really didn't like these humans being in their forest.
"Maybe have a nap, before continuing..." She wasn't sure that was a safe idea - but somehow it felt wasteful to return to the city quite yet, not with many hours still left in the day. At least, I think there's still some hours left in the day. There must be, right? We haven't been out that long, after all. I mean, it's not like the days are short... Her stumbling took her to the roadside, making her realise they really had been that far in - maybe a dozen metres, at most. She waited for the other two to join her, before waving along either side of the road around them. "Should we...find a shady spot to relax for a while?"

When Izumi apologized, Lukas rolled his eyes and rapped her lightly on the forehead with a faint smile. "You. Alive. All that matters." When he pulled himself up, however, he grimaced, glancing down at the widening bloodstains under his leathers. Abruptly, he slipped off the top, jaw knotted against the pain of re-opening the wounds, before taking out his sewing kit and checking the needle. Then he slid his knife sheath in between his teeth, biting down on it, and slowly, carefully, beginning to stitch his wounds shut. His torso was lithe and muscled, but strangely just as pale as porcelain and dotted with eerily similar scars to the wound he had just received from the goblins. He breathed in deeply as the needle slid in and out of his flesh, finally letting it out when he finished the stitches and cut the thread loose, sliding his leathers back on.
"Leaving...Would be preferable." He agreed, moving with Nym through the forest, although now he did somewhat favor his injured side. Although sweat beaded his brow and he looked even paler with the loss of blood, he moved without comment or complaint until he stopped to regard Nym and Izumi, as though realizing that they would probably drop before he did, at least. Lukas cocked his ear to the woods until he detected a familiar burbling, and changed course, carving a side trail to a small clearing with a brook running through.
"Izumi. Nym. Rest." He said, also sliding down a tree to keep watch, eyes darting from the treeline back to the stream. It was a testament to his own exhaustion and his drawn expression that he didn't stand watch for once, allowing himself to rest as well, albeit vigilantly.

Izumi still feels guilty she couldn't help Lukas more, Seeing him reassure her and sew his own wound shut only amplified that feeling. She hardly even did anything in that fight so she felt she needed to make up for it in future I don't know how exactly I can do immediately better but maybe I should put myself up front more? Well I can't take a hit as well as those two no doubt... She sighs, silently cursing her own lack of power
I really don't think we should push it too hard. Call me unambitious but I think we've done enough for today Izumi debates internally for a while as they walk, then when they come across the stream she declares "If you're both fine after we rest we could continue on" She didn't think too much about it beyond that, the exhaustion really dragging down her thought process. She sits by the stream and stares into it trying to organise her thoughts "maybe I could try fishing out here" That being the only thing she manages to come up with even after the momentary rest

The stream was an excellent choice, in Nym's mind - the rushing water calming a way that reminded her of the meditation lessons she'd had with the Paladin's guild. She'd watched as Lukas had retrieved his sewing kit and begun working on his wound - she'd almost mentioned that she could heal him immediately, with Lumiaris' blessings, before thinking better of it. She'd burnt through a lot of energy already, and if they were ambushed suddenly, it would be better to be able to draw upon some strength to protect them, even if it meant a slight disadvantage in the moment. I need to think in a grander scale, beyond just the moment. It would be great to heal every little scratch, but what if that leaves us defenceless in the next fight? That wouldn't be good at all.
"Fishing...I don't think I've ever gone fishing before, have you?" Nym couldn't remember ever having fished before - not that her memories would exactly help with her experience, or lack thereof. Still, it felt right in her mind to say that she hadn't tried it before, leading her to believe that she'd likely never, actually tried it. "I mean I know the basics, like you need rod, and reel, and line, and hook, and fish...but beyond that, I think it would be like picking up a sword for the first time...although..."
Her first experience with a sword in this world had been...familiar. Jeforan had mentioned how many who came before him moved as if they'd never touched a blade in their lives - and many likely hadn't - but Nym's body seemed to react to it, as if it were natural. He'd told her, after one bout session, that she had either a natural gift with a blade beyond any natural gift he'd ever seen, or she had previous experience with swordsmanship. It had made her ponder what her previous life had been like, and whether she'd been a Paladin in it as well.
"...maybe it would be interesting to try? Might even be a good way to find food, without having to pay for it. Assuming that there's no rules around that..." She added to her hanging commentary, feeling as if leaving the pause would be too uncomfortable.

Ever-pragmatic, after only a few minutes of rest Lukas walked on over to the stream, gathering a handful of water before splashing it over his face and rubbing it over his neck, in order to better cool off. He then turned around to move sneakily behind Izumi, before silently lifting the helm from her head and plopping a wet cloth on top of her head. He then walked over to Nym, kneeling by the stream to catch a few droplets and fling them against her breastplate, listening to them sizzle against the hot metal before looking at her, looking at the recently de-helmeted and newly toweled Izumi, and then looking back at Nym pointedly. "Cool off. Heatstroke. Hidden danger. Leather, relatively alright." He said briefly, before moving over to undo the straps on Nym's armor. Although it was a risk taking off any amount of armor for any amount of time in hostile territory, being paranoid about it would only induce heatstroke faster. When the two girls mentioned fishing, however, he cocked his head back and forth, thinking. Fishing, the definition of which to him was to procure fish with bait and then eat them. How he knew that, he didn't know, nor did he have even the faintest of recollections about it. Finally, he shrugged.
"We can try fishing." He said calmly, but rather than go for his sewing kit, he simply plunged his hand into the water and waited with a serene expression upon his face. It took barely a second before he blinked and pulled it up, now with a large sleek pike hanging off of his arm, saw-like teeth biting into the leathers. Its cold dead eyes stared back into his impassive face, before he glanced back at the two girls. "Fishing is a good way to acquire nutrients." He remarked calmly, before then proceeding to lean over and.....Bite the pike right back! The fish was so surprised at this sudden and rather feral turn of events that it even stopped biting Lukas' arm and tried futilely to flap back into the water, all while Lukas kept on applying pressure with his teeth, no change to his expression whatsoever. Apparently this was Lukas' version of "Fishing."

Shes startled by the sudden removal of her helmet but then after Lukas drops the cloth on her she responds "Ah that's nice" she wipes her forehead and then leaves the cloth there, leaning back so it wouldn't fall He's messed with my helmet like that a few times now. I know he isn't thinking too hard about it but isn't he getting too close?... No I think it's probably fine
Izumi simply shrugged in response to the fishing question. As far as she could tell she'd never been fishing but then again she had no real idea of what she had or hadn't done. In the end you only need a fish and something to bait it with right? She theorised which was quickly proven by Lukas pulling out a fish and biting into it Didn't expect him to eat it raw but I suppose we can't exactly set up a fire she put a hand to her stomach as if trying to detect if she was hungry or not not really. But I don't get too hungry at all so I probably do need to eat whenever possible she concludes
"If we ever need to save money on food costs can we just have Lukas come out and get us some fish? We probably need more than just fish in our diet though" she suggests and then dismisses the idea herself thinking it's too selfish to make him get her food for her if I'm going to rely on fishing I should do it myself probably

Nym glanced down at her armour, a confused look on her face. She didn't feel warm at all, even as the water had sizzled on the breastplate. In fact, if anything, she was feeling rather comfortable. Shrugging to herself, she decided Lukas was at least right about the dangers of heatstroke - something that could very well happen if they weren't careful.
Standing, Nym moved to the edge of the small stream, grinning at Lukas before laying down in the water and letting it all wash over her. She closed her eyes - missing Lukas' impression of wildfolk as he bit into the fish, raw and scaled - before letting out a soft sigh. "Okay, this is kind of nice...rather refreshing, really...you should try it too! Who needs a bathhouse when we have a flow of water right here?"
At the mention of a bathhouse, Nym suddenly sat up, her expression reddening in response. Her voice came out a bit hushed as she brought her new thought to mind, realising the importance of it all. "Uh...we should also plan for...accommodations and stuff, right? Did...did either of you happen...to learn about where to stay...? I was told about the...erm....Volunteer Soldier's...I think it's like a communal housing area...where you can rent rooms...and it has like a public bathhouse...and stuff..."
What she had been told about the place had made her cringe, slightly. Ten coppers a night for what was barely a roof over your head, and the least comfortable accommodations anyone could desire - but it was a place to sleep, at least. She wasn't sure if the other two were aware of the place, however - or if they needed to pre-book their stay there. I really need to start planning ahead better if we're going to manage here. I mean, a place to stay is kinda important...useless to go out hunting things if we have nowhere to return to...

Meanwhile, the panicked flapping of the fish had ceased once something snapped within it after Lukas had bit down hard enough. Contrary to expectations, however, he didn't eat it raw, merely wrapping it in leaves, tying the bundle shut with twine, and putting it into his pack with calm that did not suggest he'd just gone ahead and killed a pike with his teeth. When Izumi asked about fishing, Lukas had shrugged, glancing down the stream. "Dangerous to fish here for long. Hostile territory. Goblin flesh is also edible, but hard to hunt. Bad place to find food safely."
He refilled his waterskin with fresh water, before glancing over at Nym with a raised eyebrow and an expression that was nearly as confused as when she patted him on the head. "Bath?" He asked, trying to remember what the word meant, before the definition popped into his head, causing him to frown. Soaking in heated water sounded....excessively luxuriant to him. He pointed to the stream. "I bathe here and in other streams. Three minutes a day. Bought a bar of soap. Only attacked twice so far. Water isn't cold enough to kill at dawn. Patoris said so."
Patoris had probably also been joking when telling him to bathe in streams at the break of dawn, but Lukas had taken things at face value with his usual calmness. When she brought up the subject of accommodations, he simply shrugged. "I rent from the Guild. Get my own cave, ten coppers a day. Stone for sleeping. Fire for cooking. Rats not big enough to eat me." The conditions Lukas described were quite horrible, even for the sparse quarters offered by the guild, but he wasn't really in the habit of joking, so perhaps he really was living in a cave.

"I heard the same thing about the communal housing area. I was going to check it out after I finished my time at the guild. But I uh... I forgot because I was tired" She admits somewhat abashedly. She knew her own lack of proper sleep was a big issue and her own constantly tired eyes didn't help with that impression Maybe i'm an insomniac. Well probably not since I can sleep fine, I just haven't been sleeping "You know as long as we get a bed I'm fine with any place. A bath would be nice though" She mumbles
After listening to Lukas' story she chuckles, which she immediately registers as a weird reaction and tries to cover it up by coughing "You've been living in a cave and hunting for food out here?" She tilts her head "Well since the communal lodgings are the same price and have no rats, a warmer bed and a proper bath with no chance of being attacked isn't that just a better deal?" she tilts her head further but the cloth on her forehead starts falling off so she realigns herself "Did you not look at any other options before taking the cave deal?" She asks, her initial impression of Lukas being betrayed Well he is serious to a fault maybe he just can't detect jokes or sarcasm at all and takes everything seriously. kind of like a child... She smirks, that image in her head being adorable

Nym stared at Lukas, her mouth slightly open, for a few moments. She was still trying to register the thought of the man having chomped down on a fish to kill it, quickly followed up by the confession that he was...living in cave? An image of a man with a long beard, a club and what appeared to be a cloth tied around its waist flashed through her head, leaving her only more confused than the moment before. He lives like this...? Somehow, she wasn't surprised to learn that he was living in a cave, or that he was spending a fair amount of money on said cave.
"How about once we're done here, we'll go take a look at these accommodations. And maybe get Lukas here into a more...civilised version of the world." She winked at the man as she jabbed at his current situation, hoping that he would pick up on her humour. She was beginning to notice that he took things very literal, and seemed oblivious - in some cases - to the hidden meaning beneath. Maybe he's just a very serious person, who has no time for jokes or hidden meanings.
Either way, she figured they still had a bit of time before they needed to be concerned with finding the lodgings, and attempting to convince Lukas to relocate. Her eyes shifted away from their resting area - the water still running around her body was cooling her to the point now that she was beginning to become uncomfortable, and she pushed herself to a seated position - glancing at the woods around them. It would be nice to sleep out here, if it weren't for the dangers involved.
"But for now...how about we hunt down some more money?" She grinned widely as she looked at the other two, pushing herself to her feet and retrieving her shield that she had left laying on the edge of the stream. "I don't know about you two, but I'd like to have something nice to eat for dinner, so the more we can make...the better."

Curiously, Lukas cocked his head at Nym, his expression giving nothing away before he nodded, not appearing to notice that it was a joke at all. "A more civilized world would be interesting, if nothing else. And I did buy food, Izumi. Bread is hard to hunt, as is butter." This he said with a perfectly straight face, not giving away if he was simply playing along with them or if the questions had flown over his head. When Nym suggested that they continue hunting, however, his eyes narrowed slightly as he frowned in thought, pulling up his tunic to inspect his wounds. They would remain shut unless he twisted too hard and popped the stitches, but he also wondered if they'd be pushed too hard by yet another fight.
However, it was also sure that with all they'd hunted, they'd still only have secured rent for another twenty days at best. They did need more money, and hunting goblins didn't give the best pickings. If they didn't have money, Izumi and Nym would starve. Letting civilians starve was a dereliction of duty, as was letting them die in combat. In the end, after several long seconds of deliberation, he nodded reluctantly. "Fine. One last hunt. I lead again." Without waiting for their responses, he got to his feet, slinging the pack of equipment back upon his shoulder and drawing both his short-swords, moving into the forest, albeit now favoring his right side more than his left. There was a new urgency to him, as he kept both an eye on sun and the surrounding forests. As long as they didn't meet with more of those warriors, they should be fine....

"I don't really want anything nice just something filling. Which wouldn't be much since I don't get too hungry" Izumi shrugs indifferent to the idea of a nice meal, she had a pretty minimalist mentality. As long as she had a roof over her head, water to drink, food on her plate and something to stab violently she was satisfied I think that last one is a bit weird. It's weird right? Well Lukas is also pretty weird. Especially after learning about him living in a cave like a wild animal. Nym doesn't seem too weird yet but her hair is kind of weird Her thoughts started getting further off track beyond that so she simply got herself up and grabbed her things to move on
She still didn't like the idea of pushing any further but since the other two were fine with it she went along with them Am I going with the flow too much? Not that my input really matters here since I'm the only uninjured one She quietly sighs and draws her sword just to have it at the ready in case of ambush "Well at least Abel's going to be happy. I don't really know what they do but apparently vices are like demon food so the more the better on that front too" She adds her thoughts once again looping back to her demon

Nym paused long enough to stare curiously between the two of them, before simply shaking her head. She was sure that Lukas was hiding a sense of humour behind his words, somewhere. Not that she could even begin to prove it by any means, but the things he said had to be some sort of humorous intent. That, or he is far, far odder than I had originally anticipated...like, by a long shot. Giving in to the confusion of the entire situation, Nym did the only logical thing that could be done - ignored it and moved on.
The forest had become quiet as they stepped away from the stream, the only sounds coming from the minimal amount of animals around them - a few chirps of birds and rodents that seemed to flit throughout the forest out of sight of the trio. Still, Nym kept her gaze roaming, determined not to let anything sneak up on them. Comfort and lax behaviour kill as quickly as a well-aimed arrow or blade. The words flitted through her mind, touched with Jeforan's tone. The Paladin had reiterated the idea into her mind the second day of training, drilling it in throughout the remainder of her time with the guild leader. It was good advice, as far as Nym was concerned, and she looked to incorporate it into their adventures as much as possible.
A sudden sound caught her attention, sounding like something banging against a tree, or perhaps a tree falling in the distance. She had come to a stop at the sound, her head cocked to try and locate it, before speaking lightly. "Either of you hear that? Do you know which way it came from? Could be more Goblins."
