"..." Lukas didn't reply to Izumi, his gaze drawn in the direction of the sound, frowning. That wasn't a sound that goblins made. Or at least, not the ones they'd fought. He knew there existed other forms of monsters, but he couldn't put his finger on any capable of such a noise. Risky, he thought, glancing over at Nym and Izumi. They were combat-capable but not in optimal condition. Finally, he nodded in the direction of the sound.
"Came from there. I will scout it out and come back soon." So saying, he carved his way through the undergrowth of the forest, before slipping onto an old disused trail and heading towards the noise. Whether it was beast or human, monster or otherwise, everything was dangerous, and everything could kill in this forest. He didn't anticipate anything friendly, and if it spotted him, at least he could serve to provide warning to the others.

Uh oh Panic flared inside Izumi's head That sounded dangerous. I don't know what it was and I don't want to find out She finally decides to summon her demon "O' Skullhell, lord of vice.." she chants "Demon call" a black-purplish mist pours from her palm and pools on the ground and then her demon emerges from it. It appears like a floating head with a gash like mouth and a veil covering it's face. It's skin is a distinctive blue reminiscent of Izumi's own outfit yet still looks pale. All in all it doesn’t appear very cute
"Abel!" Izumi stretches her arms out to the demon, awaiting for it to allow her to embrace it but the demon simply idly floats there "... Abel my arms are getting tired" she urges the demon and it finally floats toward her allowing her to hug it "So hopeless. So lonely. Just get embraced by Skullhell if you can't handle it" the demon says in a sinister almost condescending tone "Shush Abel we need to focus" Izumi shushes the demon and attempts to refocus, holding her sword in one hand and holding the demon close to her chest with the other arm

Lukas had only disappeared for a few minutes before the rustling behind Nym had started. She'd turned to look - expecting to find a rush of Goblinoids dashing out of the bushes towards them, weapons raised and screaming incoherently. She'd raised her shield, drawing her longsword in anticipation and sliding her feet apart as she prepared herself - only to find a single bird shifting in the tree, disturbing the bushes beside it and causing the rustling sound she'd heard mere seconds before.
She lowered the sword and shield she'd pulled into a ready stance, shaking her head before looking over at Izumi. "Sorry, little jumpy, I guess. Just...feels like they could pop up out of nowhere, sometimes. Doesn't it? It's like...there's this feeling like they're out there, waiting. Watching. Getting ready to leap out and ambush us at any second."
She laughed a bit at the thought, realising the irony in it. They'd been trekking through the forest for some time now, looking for Goblins with the intent of killing them - and here she was jumping at the thought of the Goblins managing to get to them first. There's definitely something funny about that whole situation, honestly...but I need to get it together. I'm supposed to be protecting these people. She tried to calm herself, to push aside the tension in her body that had been building.
A shift of the dirt caught Nym's attention, barely two sword-lengths away from her. She shifted on the spot, turning to face it, staring at it intensely. The dirt shifted again, ever so slightly, and as Nym watched with anticipation she saw the form coming out of it - a single Goblin shifting slightly in the dirt, hidden from sight as it tried to sneak up upon them. "I see you. I see you..."
In a single movement, she stepped forward and raised her sword and shield, preparing to engage the Goblinoid before it could raise to its feet and rush her, or Izumi.

Meanwhile, Lukas had disappeared from the front, blades flashing through the foliage to chop down at a goblin fighter hiding in the bush. His swords rang against the steel boss of the shield, which deflected what would have been a crippling blow. He pointed with one blade at the fighter, eyes cold.
"You. Will not get the chance. To hurt Nym again. Fight me. And die." He murmured, his words curt and matter-of-fact, although his knuckles were white as he held his blades in a defensive position, searching for further weakpoints in the warrior's stance.
Result: Hit fighter with Hit, dealt 6/2 damage due to shield ability being used.

"Anger!" Izumi dashes out and stabs at the fighter "Vice accumulated!" She yells out, stabbing the corpse again and then slicing off it's hand "Kyahahaha! Return it To Skullhell! Return yourself! Bring all down to Skullhell!" Abel cries out also revelling in the kill "Quiet Abel, that's in poor taste. You need to savour each and every time you return something to Skullhell" Izumi lectures the demon in the middle of the battlefield, Abel nodding along seeming to value that lesson

The Goblin in front of Nym had buckled beneath her blow at first, but as it rose back to it's feet, the maddening grin upon its face, she couldn't help but worry about what was going to happen next. The thing made a mad dash against her weapon, forcing it from the shoulder it had embedded itself into, and allowing the creature to rush up and past Nym. The Paladin spun in an attempt to catch the creature, her secondary swing falling just short and catching nothing but air as it rushed forwards and beyond her reach - headed straight for the two assaulting the warrior-like Goblin nearby.
"Lukas! Izumi! Watch out!" Nym called out, but to no avail as the two were suddenly besieged by the smaller, wilder Goblinoids. She watched in horror as the small dagger-like swords drove into her friends, piercing what little protection covered them and causing the two to begin bleeding - nothing overly serious, but enough to hinder their movements slightly, given time and bad luck. Cursing, she rushed forwards to place herself between the Goblinoids. She settled herself into a defensive stance, trying to get her shield between the Goblinoids and her friends. She levelled her sword, placing the point directly out towards the Goblinoids along the edge of her shield, aiming for the eyes of the closest one - and yipping in surprise as it drove face first into her waiting edge.
"Just one more! You two, be careful!" Nym called out as the second Goblinoid slammed into Izumi again, causing a large gash that Nym knew she would have to heal as soon as she was able to do so. "Lukas! That one! On Izumi!"

Lukas staggered slightly at the hit from behind, a wince breaking through his cold facade as the stitches pulled at his flesh mercilessly, sending shards of pain skittering through his body. Immediately, however, he swung around to deliver what was supposed to be a killing cut at the goblin outcast attacking Izumi.....But once again, it appeared like the seemingly frail goblinoid was tougher than he looked, somehow managing to still struggle up even after taking his blow. Blood stained his leathers where his stitching had been, although he still wielded both blades with equal precision.
Roll Result: Damage to Outcast 1 using Hit, 1 LP left after Tenacity proc.

"Hm?" Before she can turn to respond to Nym's warning she's stabbed It hurts, What happened? The goblins. Right. Why wasn't I paying attention? Izumi attempts to swing back at the goblin "Bad omens, bad omens only, suffer then return to Skullhell" As if instantly cursed by the demon, Izumi misses her swing and gets slashed again "Damn... Ack" She stumbles back, cursing the demon in her head and also cursing her poor swordsmanship
Attack failed

The one remaining Goblin had turned its attention towards Izumi again, its breath rattling as it eyed the Dread Knight with a level of excitement that brought a taste of disgust to Nym's mind. The first two Goblins had been dealt with, maybe not quickly, but they were dealt with. Now it was just the final Goblinoid, and the trio would be safe again.
Nym had moved herself in between Izumi and the Goblin automatically, raising the shield and bringing her sword down to bear on it. As skilled as she may have been, the small creature was agile - dancing around the purple-haired Paladin's blade as if it were a mere stick being wielded by a child. She didn't let her frustration get the best of her - the creature was bleeding, slowing even as it tried to avoid her. She kept herself between it and the other two, determined to do her best as the tank of the group.
It didn't take long for the creature to falter, lining itself perfectly for Nym's strike - her blade coming upwards and across the throat of the Goblin. She watched as its hands dropped the weapon, grasping at the gaping wound as its life slowly escaped. Nym settled back, taking a few steps away and letting the creature's final moments play out without her intervention.
"Alright...I think. I think it's time to head back...yeah?" She looked over at the other two with a smile, before nodding towards the Goblins. They could at least loot these bodies, and then make it back safely. All in a day's work, right? Time to head back, and see what we managed to obtain from all of this...
