Story transcript

Ubel: You're... not with them.

Aligorna the Black-Knight: One left.

Ubel: Its Mine!

Ubel: Shouldn't have dropped your concentration.

Aligorna the Black-Knight: You held your ground.

Ubel: I had it handled.

Aligorna the Black-Knight: You did not look like you had it.

Ubel: I still could...

Aligorna the Black-Knight: Get pinned and used? Even skilled adventurers can be killed by goblins. All it ever takes is one moment.

Aligorna the Black-Knight: My camp's two hours north. Try not to slow me down.

Ubel: That's your idea of helping?

Aligorna the Black-Knight: You dont have to follow me. But this was just the patrol; there are many more in the forest. Better to have someone watch your back than not.

Ubel: How do you know this forest so well? Those goblins... they moved differently than any I've seen.

Aligorna the Black-Knight: Bounty. Fifty gold for every goblin nest cleared. These ones have been active for weeks.

Ubel: They were all male. Every single one. I've never seen a goblin band without females.

Aligorna the Black-Knight: They're mutants that need human women for breeding.

Ubel: That's... what they wanted with me.

Aligorna the Black-Knight: They'd have kept you alive for months. These aren't normal goblins.

Ubel: Where did they come from? This corruption... it's not natural.

Aligorna the Black-Knight: Some dark god's twisted joke. I hunt them, I don't philosophize about them.

Ubel: Well then. Let's make this god regret his sense of humor.

Aligorna the Black-Knight: You can barely walk.

Ubel: I can still slice those ugly green beasts. Lead the way, bounty hunter.
