Tau feels the granules of the sand underfoot, his heart is set on beating this goblin before him. Tau picks up two scents one of strong loathing but not of him a selfloathing a sort of scent that is unnatural on a Goblin especially with its interlinked carrion smell.
Tau's smell is one annoyce more than anything. Even thou the Kluk energy level is about 400 hundred. The waves of power that flow from Kluk is very loose and thin almost like a vale covering someones face. Palesa's energy is a solid and very very white like every one else's.
Kluk goes into his attacks, this mob leader is nothing to him. Kluk has already planned out how to consume the enitre Get, so he can be a boss. Kluk swings his sword at Tau's head smiling, all the power he has behind the shot. He even commits his body to the swing of his blood coated blade.
Palesa watches the Goblin Warband leader. He is clearly not a fighter thou he is brave. She is looking for anything that he might have up his sleeve but his armor leaves nothing to the imagination.
She is a little tense only a Goblin lunatic would fight a fight they cant win and this Warband leader doesnt carry, a tomahawk or wear half his face covered. He doesn't even have a lip bone ring which is the first sign of lunacy.
She settles in watching the fight as there is really nothing else she can do but watch and see what trick he has planned.
Tau feels this fight is stupid, is he expected to fight the band brother of every goblin he kills. The only reason he aceepted the fight is because the horde system wants to reward him. With a Goblin tinkerer token. That thought alone puts a smile on his face.
He sees Kluk is fully committed even someone with as little experience as him can see this little goblin leader has even less fighting experience than him. He puts up sword, the sudden stop should disrupt Kluk enough to allow him to counter and end it.
Kluk's sword comes with all the fury he can muster. His blood falling to the ground. The soil coats itself around his blood almost as if it got a fright when the two blades meet. Then the soil relaxes a small bit of smoke coming out.
Kluk's sword which is aimed at Tau's head splatters his blood all over Tau's face. Instead of holding on Kluk has let go of his sword as soon as the swords meet.
Tau yells out loud in a deep pain, "Aaarggh!" Kluk's blood had flown off the blade and landed on his face and more importantly in his eye.
Tau vision is blurred and his eyes are on fire. It feels to Tau as if the gobo's blood is made out of paprika sauce. Tau swings his sword in front of him. To stop another attack while he tries to figure out what to do. More than half his vision is black out.
Gasps are heard as the gobo's can't believe what they are seeing from Kluk. Like Palesa who is standing up, her hands to her heart. None of them expected it to be the blood. They like her were waiting for him to pull out a hidden dagger or use a magic of some sort.
Kluk charges under Tau's blade tackling him to the ground. Tau is not a great wrestle but like everyone in his school they all have basic combat training after all they are expected to work in the military after to pay back the fees spent of them. At least that is the case for Tau, he unlike some others who have a better life paths, until they came here. But Tau imagined it couldn't be much better since they are all in his school.
Kluk lifts the ankle dropping Tau. Kluk moves quickly the he needs to get this over with while Tau is still surprised. Being small and weak he relies on his wrestling and poison tipped nails.
Kluk creeps up Tau, the Mob leader prime for the slaughter. Tau probably would have panicked if not for Kluk tackling him. His never fought someone with lout his vision. Tau first thought was that Kluk was going to through another spear. It is what Tau would do but Kluk risked close combat when he didn't have too so he must have another reason.
Thinking through the scenarios in his head keep Tau calm, falling on his back. He closes his eyes grappling with Kluk. Each trying to find an angle. That made the burning worse as it now covers ever part of his eye.
The pain launches him to a spin to counter the other grapple. The other grabs his arm trying to control it so as to get position he shuffles letting his arm nearly break. The he pivots sudden changing the balance and freeing his arm. One hand of his is couple to other hands, they stand each knowing that the other is a wrestler now.
Kluk frowns secondary skills are usually looked down upon why would a mob leader choose it instead of. Kluks confusion comes from the system unfortunately for Kluk he had spent almost all his skill on secondary skill because he still thought that was the main skill page. It did give him a unique advantage like the wrestling and poison.
Tau is being maneuvered by the Warband leader. So far this goblin has not once even smelled like tension. Even Raul had a hint of it its smell every gobo will recognize instantly. The fear of losing is something that comes across every goblins mind every if it'sfor a short time.
That's is what is tee first Tau couldn't, give it a feeling know why he thinks what he is thinking. But Kluk smell like stagnation, and death. Everything about him his deathly pale skin and boils.
They move colliding into one another, he gets the lower grip, locking in he throws the other over onto the ground. Flips around and knees him in the gut. Then again, the second shot blocked. He gets pulled into a ground grappling where arms and hands do the work of many.
Palesa looks at the two struggling Goblins, her heart a flutter. Tau is fighting before her with all his might. The smell has told everyone that Kluk is using some kind of poison in his blood. Of course Palesa wants him to win so they can be a family and grow strong together.
The other sees his chance even thou things have turned bad for him during the last couple of exchanges. The other hands straight like a knife launches at the neck of his opponent who suddenly let's go of him.
Tau had a simply plan get closer to Palesa, being the bigger and heavier gobo means that his wrestling advantage on a slight slope might be enough to win. He can smell her so he knows her general direction. Now getting Kluk there requires some effort as he is a much better wrestler than Tau. But Tau is the better goblin.
Tau releases Kluk, he has pushed him to where the chairs used to be, Tau can smell it all around. He falls to knees rubbing Rauls blood all over his face and eyes. He had asked Palesa to move it because he thought he will need the blood to activate frenzy not clean poison out of his eyes.
The blood does the job, and because of the recent killing blow to Raul by Kluk means tere is a pool of fresh blood just sitting above the old. Kluk picks himself off the ground, near the flap of the tent. A female goblin he doesn't is smiling in his direction.
Kluk turns to face Tau, who is in a frenzy, his veins bulging and eyes redder than the blood moons. Kluk looks around a frenzied opponent is no joke. Kluk moves edging towards the swords on the ground.
Tau growls at Kluk, his frenzy aimed and comes at him. Tau's claw launches towards Kluk...
Palesa moves back into the tent its finally over, Tau is going to kill his second leader or at least the gobo that killed the first so it should still work the same. Then their is only one more leader left.
Inside the ten, Diana and Gcina are still healing the boy.
Palesa says to Gcina, "So when are going to go home, I'm getting tired of this tent?" In truth she wants fuck the brains out of Tau in a place that she doesn't have to worry a random shadow will kill them.
Gcina shrugs her shoulder and replies standing up from her pervoiusly seated position stretching her arms far above her head. " Not any time soon, if you really want to help please could you find that old lady from before. Palesa you need to consolidate your power, your other followers will need to hear from you soon."
Palesa smiles like a child caught with her hand in the dried liver jar. " Yes well you know they just started following me around and stuff I wasn't sure how to deal them."
Gcina says," It was bond to happen. You are very strong, beautiful and talented of all the Goblins here only eight of us in the our Get that I know of have some kind of Talent. And goblins are drawn to talent. Be proud sugar tits that is a power all of your own and will be yours and Tau's to use as you please."
"I can also tell them to listen to you, you know then we can all have small bands." Palesa says her mind working about how to absorb the undecided gobos and grow her band. No that Gcina has given her blessing basically she feels freer to even consider the topic and her mind envisions blood and sand just like outside with all their enemies dead on the sand. "
Gcina shakes her head talking slowly," No, I do think that's a good idea, maybe you can assign a gaurd or two for Diana and me but they will be only yours to command. That way when I start mine you can't give them commands."
Palesa gives Gcina a proper side eye, "What is that suppose to mean aren't we in this together?" she asks feeling that it would be better to do it her way.
Gcina walks up to her, "Of course we are but the same we all different people so will our bands be different. Yours is definitely about war, Diana's band probably around potions since they sell so well and mine is going to about the kingdom."
Palesa smiles hugging, Gcina. The frightening thing is that Palesa is thinking ahead about to grow her band and help Tau become a boss but Gcina is already at the kingdom level. Palesa is not if what the ranks are at that high level of goblin society.
... Kluk sees the claw stopping before the sword.
