We rushed forward into the small shrubs and bushes that were before us. Since they were so small, we had to crouch very low in order to not be seen. Their bristles and thorns poked at me, but I had to silence myself in order to ensure that I wouldn't make any noise. Jaq had elected to go prone on the ground. Considering his muscle bound build, I am not surprised. It's probably the best course of action for him in order to not be seen.
A few seconds after we had nestled within the bushes, we saw a squad of hobgoblins run towards our previous location. It seems they were drawn by the sound of the explosion earlier. Their shocked expressions when they saw the corpses of their fallen comrades made me experience a morbid thought.
Are these creatures capable of developing complex relationships? Are these monsters like cows in which they can develop best friends? Do they form loving relationships, perhaps even mate? Man, I have got to study whatever Tael was looking into last night.
