The haggard dryad led the group to an encampment, housing quite the collection of ents, dryads, and numerous other creatures. There were injured people all around them, and people who were, in turn, trying to give items and herbs to the wounded.
"What happened here?" Ironrein asked the dryad.
"Goblins, and lots of them," the dryad said in a worried tone, "that's why we need you. Please exterminate the goblins, even though we don't have anything to give you in return.”
"Nope, sorry." DarkMist said as he turned to walk away.
"Have a soul DarkMist, these people are in trouble." Said Ironrein.
"These "people" are npc's, Ironrein. They don't have problems." Replied DarkMist, without looking back.
"We have more players helping us on the battlefield right now." Said the dryad. DarkMist stopped in his tracks and swiveled back towards the dryad, making to go with him. The rest of the group followed.
"I won't be taking you there; you'll go with squad 7 to reinforce the front." The dryad said as he took them to where the squad was preparing. The dryad left them and went back to the campsite. DarkMist went up to one of the squad members.
"What's the mission briefing?"
"We go to the battlefield and we stop the goblins from reaching the tree of tranquility, then we wait for reinforcements and hopefully we can push the enemy back to the edge of the forest."
Lucan took in a good look at these guys, they look like they were rushed into battle, this isn't going to end very well, he thought.
"Well come on, lets get a move on," commanded one of the soldiers. He was wearing a different style of armor than the rest of the soldiers
"He's probably the captain." Lucan said to Haron.
"That was pretty easy to see."
After walking for only about a minute, they had already seen many places that looked kind of decrepit.
"What's that?" Haron asked one of the troops.
"That's from the goblins. They’re corroding the forest, so we need to stop them before the whole place is gone."
"I don't like this at all." Ironrein said to Lucan, but before Lucan could answer the captain of the squad held his fist up, as in order to stop.
"Alright, you guys, that aren't apart of squad 7, stay here. My squad and I squad will scout out ahead and we will signal when you can come. Remember men, keep your eyes peeled.”
"Hey! We can go with you guys, we're not some punks." DarkMist growled, his eyes lighting with anger as though he were insulted by the fact he was told to stay behind.
"You guys just stay here until we signal you, and that’s an order," the captain reiterated.
"I don't have to listen to any of your orders, and I can go as I-" DarkMist was pulled back by Ironrein before he could finish.
"Just let it go, DarkMist. Do you always have to embarrass me?" She said. Lucan and Haron laughed a bit at that. Then squad 7 walked out ahead. They had traveled about 10 feet from the area that Lucan and his group were. The squad looked around for a bit, then signaled for them to come. Lucan had taken a step forward when a volley of arrows coming from the battle side shot down. They took out all of squad 7 before anyone could even react.
"I knew this would happen," Lucan sighed, "it's a pretty overused storyline." The group then ran into the battlefield, they saw npc's and players fighting against a massive goblin force. They ran ahead, but then Ironrein and DarkMist stopped and started taking shots. Lucan and Haron kept running.
Eventually they entered a clearing, and saw some bodies on the floor. They were player bodies before they de-spawned, but there was one player left. She was fighting two goblins and five more were coming. Lucan saw that she was struggling with the two, and one of the goblins that was approaching had an axe and was almost upon her. Lucan ran in there, Haron following as he drew out his dagger. Lucan flicked his wrist, his blade went to his hand, and he sliced one of the goblins that the girl was fighting. He then took his blade out to block a swing from the other goblin and then stabbed it. One of the five goblins that were coming to him had a gun and fired a shot at Lucan. Lucan, with the goblin body on the blade still, put it between him and the shot. The shot was blocked by the body, then the body de-spawned. Lucan used this opportunity and ran up to one of the goblins, swinging at him. The goblin jumped back and into another goblin behind him. They both fell, Lucan attempted to shoot at them, but then he remembered he had no more bullets. Looks like this will have to be melee, he thought to himself. He looked at the position of the goblins and charged, blade forward.
"What happened here?" Ironrein asked the dryad.
"Goblins, and lots of them," the dryad said in a worried tone, "that's why we need you. Please exterminate the goblins, even though we don't have anything to give you in return.”
