August 26, 1885
Lucas awoke to being stabbed by a spear. He grunted in pain and opened his eyes to see a Hobgoblin Shaman standing in front of him with two spear wielding hobs by his side. He was tied to a stone T on his knees. He realized he had been stripped of his armor and shirt. Lucky for him they left his pants on. He noticed his pendant from Matty was gone as well as his dagger he kept tucked in his boot.. "Thorough little buggers" Lucas muttered
"You strong wolf but we many." A hob that was darker green color than the others spoke.
Lucas rolled his eyes and muttered under his breath "That may be but I could still kill you three."
This got him stabbed by a spear and he glared in response. "So what do you want? I'm glad to be alive and all but I'm sure a smart goblin such as yourself has a reason."
"Yes yes. I Rafka. Rafka new chief. I use you for research."
Lucas ripped his arms from his bindings and lunged at the chief. Before he could get close enough to grab the chief his arms were impaled by the spears.
"Argh you green little bastard. If I wasn't recovering you would be dead."
Rafka turned and spoke to the hobs in goblin before turning back to Lucas glaring at him. "Rafka great mage. Me use you to test magic that good against wolfs."
Lucas rolled his eyes "I'm sure Rafka is a great mage but do you really need to use little ol me. Why not catch a stronger wolf."
"Rafka no fool. Me know you strong wolf you even kill Gorba. Gorba was strongest hob almost ogre.But now Gorba dinner kekeke"
Lucas watched as the hobs secured his arms with chains this time instead of rope. Unfortunately they left the spears in. He watched in dismay as Rafka and the guards backed up and rafka began to cast magic.
Soon after a fireball came out and scorched Lucas. Luckily his body was stronger than it was previously so he was only left with minor burns. His healing kicked in and he was healed soon after. The only problem with this is everytime he healed it used up more of his recovering energy.
Soon another spell Lucas was wary it was blackish energy ball that floated slowly towards him. Once it hit him he felt his vitality being sucked away. "Ahhh" He screamed in pain.
He looked at his torso to see where it struck him was shriveled like a mummies skin. His healing wasn't kicking in. It must have been a dead mana ball. One of the few that could slow or even inhibit a werewolves' regeneration. Judging by the higher tier spell the mage was much more proficient with dead mana than he was the fire mana.
Rafka walked forward and began prodding the decayed skin, nodding his head in approval. Much to Lucas' pain of course. "Rafka be back later You too weak me no want to kill yet. So I leave but first I collect sample".He called for a small goblin in the corner of the room who brought out a large dull bowl and placed it below lucas chin.
Rafka grabbed Lucas by his silver hair before he saw the goblin reach for a dagger and slit his throat. He watched in horror as his blood began to drip from his neck until the bowl began to fill. Lucas forced his skin to heal. Unfortunately it wasn't enough so the goblin slit it once more.
Once Rafka deemed he had enough blood he then looked at Lucas' pendent which was covered in blood as well. Before he could move Rafka had snatched it off his neck
"Hey give it back." No longer having any energy left he mumbled it
"No this Rafka trophy from today. Rafka go make more goblins tonight. Have to rebuild our numbers I do".
It was then that Lucas peeked through the makeshift doorway and he could see what he assumed were several female adventurer's. None were students, luckily. The students must of been okay. These poor girls must have been captured a while back. Unless they were a part of that guys party from before.
"Hey, Hey, HEY!" Lucas yelled
Rafka turned around curiously
"I can keep on, I won't die so let's keep going. So just leave those girls alone."
Rafka laughed "Kekeke you can't keep on besides if not Rafka other hobs get them. unless you want taste too?"
Lucas couldn't help but hide his disgust. He had an idea though hopefully it would work
"Umm Yes, yes thats right its the least You could do after using me like this."
Rafka laughed once again "Rafka good Hob so Rafka give you one for whole night. Gob stay to keep watch."
Lucas grinded his teeth in anger and nodded his head. Soon after he heard Rafka screeching. Then he heard chains and shortly after a goblin entered dragging a girl behind it in chains. Surprisingly it looked as if she hadn't been touched yet. The goblin dropped the chains in front of Lucas and attached it to one of the four anchor points holding Lucas to the wall.
The girl frightened was visibly shaking. Lucas tried to comfort her.
"I'm not going to hurt you. My name is Lucas what's yours?"
She was nervously looking around and before she got the chance to speak Rafka entered. "How you gon do like that she must be naked".
Before Lucas could try to talk him out of it he walked up and ripped of her clothes. "Datsa much better now Rafka go now". He screeched something to the goblin guarding the door.
Lucas closed his eyes at least trying to give the poor girl some privacy. "Listen I only said what I said to get you in here so you can try to free me but these goblins are more intelligent than they should be. Will you help me?"
The girl nodded her head "Y-yes and My n-name is Lexi"
"Good now Lexi I'm gonna try asking the guard for privacy not that he would be able to understand." Lucas got the guards attention and tried telling it to go or even turn around but it was for nought. "Ok that didn't work so were gonna have to play the part."
Lexi nodded her head and wiped her face "Y-you can open your eyes it would be suspicious if you k-kept them c-closed."
"Are you sure?" Lucas didn't want to since he had only seen Liz exposed but he had no other choice. His only focus right now was escaping anyways.
"Yes"
He opened his eyes and saw Lexi looking at him she looked to be a few years older than him. With blonde hair and brown eyes. She had a slim figure with a robust chest.
Lexi spoke first "So now what?"
Lucas began explaining "If you could loosen the spears and the chains I should be able to do the rest but try to do the spears last. Just in case the guard notices."
Lexi nodded her hand and reached for his pants
"Umm what are you doing".
She looked at him and blushed slightly "You said it had to be convincing didn't you besides you wouldn't be my first so don't worry."
"You're not actually planning on doing it are you"Lucas asked
."How else am I supposed to fool the guard" Lexi asked slightly annoyed
"I don't know I just figured you would rub up against me?"
"With your pants on?" She exclaimed
Lucas had to admit it wasn't his brightest moment. He could feel his face starting to heat up from embarrassment.
"Ok fine drop my pants then" She nodded her head and pulled them lose sliding them down. "Excited are we?"
Lucas face blushed more "Oh hush just get started will you."
She began loosening the chains one by one while rubbing against him trying her best to make it convincing. "You know I would much rather do you than those beasts any day. It's a shame that me doing this is considered lucky compared to the other girls."
"Just hurry up before the chief returns. Or before that guard gets any ideas" Lucas whispered
"Ok done now it's just the spears left now." Once again she began moving and slowly made her way to each side. She loosened one then moved to the other side but in the process of trying to loosen it it fell out. Hitting the floor with a clang.
The guard began moving towards them. Lexi began backing away, covering herself best as possible. Like a cannon Lucas shot out breaking free of the chains scooping up the fallen spear in the process and before it could scream he pierced its head.
"Ok now thats one" Lucas began tearing the random pieces of armor of the goblin before handing it to Lexi. "Here it's not much but it should at least give you some cover."
It was then Lucas heard two howls and he couldn't help but smile. He knew it was Troy and Sasha.
