"David is hit!" Royce shouted.

Fiiiiiii! Jake blew a whistle. It is signal for emergency for Adventurers. Hopefully someone hears.

"Crap! I was so confident they wouldn't attack us near town! Royce! You know what to do!" 

Royce ran towards the source of the arrow shots while evading the arrows nimbly. Royce estimates that the shooter is about 50 to 100 meters away. There is only one shooter by the rate of the arrow being shot. It maybe an ambush, but it is not the first time with this game.

Royce ran in an irregular zig zag pattern going towards the trees.

I hope he will be allright. Jake said to himself.

Jake went to David with his shield up, watching for incoming arrows. There might be more of them waiting for us to let our guard down.

They need to find a secure cover otherwise they are sitting ducks out here.

Father and mother also took out their shields and went to Jake to protect Daniel and Vi. Mother uses her left hand to heal the unconscious adventurer. Vi checks the arrow lodged to Daniel's stomach.

"It's in deep. I don't know if it hit any organs. We would need to take him to the nearest doctor." Vi said.

"Understood. Keep on healing him please, while Royce neutralize our hidden enemies. In the meantime, let's move to a more secure place."

They found trees nearby as Jake pulled Daniel towards it.

Something rustled at the top of the tree and when they looked, there were 2 giant lizards at the top of the tree which jumped with their mouths open.

Father and mother evaded them and slashed at the lizards head.

Thunk! Their head are hard as a rock!

"Watch out! They are Liergas! Aim for their underbelly!" Jake said.

"Easy for you to say!" Mother said as she wards off the lizards with her sword. Father searches for a dead branch or wood that he can use to flip the lizard over.

Something glinted at the back of the tree. A wicked looking axe swung at Father's head but he evaded it quickly.

2 goblins appeared from the back of the tree with 2 ugly looking wolf like creatures.

"I should have known, a goblin hunting party. We would not survive if we do not go for the offensive. Eliza and Vi, please protect Daniel while I deal with these goblins and wargs and your father deals with the Leirgas." 

They both nodded as father confronted the lizards putting his backpack near Vi.

I spoke to my father telepathically.

"Father, use you two hands to grab one of the Liergas in their tail and smack the other Liergas with his companion. The Lierga looks like it's between 15-25 stones. I'm sure you have carried bigger logs than that."

Father nodded.

He hit both Liergas with his sword in their faces, trying to stab them in the eyes but the Liergas evade the stab as if on cue. They have been trained.

One of the Liergas then whipped his tail towards father. It hit his shield and made a powerful thudding sound.

"Damn! These lizard not only are hard as a rock, but they hit like a rock too!" Father said.

I spoke with my father again.

"Father, use the stone whip that you have with you to hit the faces of these lizards. Use the flicker attack method while maintaining distance. You should be able to hit them further than they can hit you."

Father put the wooden shield to his back and took 2 stone whips from the bag. He then hit the 2 lizards to their faces with the whips. The impact sounds like stone hitting stone.

Whap! Whap! Whap! Whap!

The lizards looks pissed. They raised their heads and front body a little bit higher and ran towards father.

Father led them away from the group.

In the meantime, Jake is having trouble fighting the 2 goblins and the wargs. They got him surrounded.

Jake panted like a dying horse. Between deflecting, parrying, blocking the attacks of the two goblins, the 2 wargs with them tries to bite him on his ankles. It's a miracle that he has managed to evade and survive this long. But he can no longer put up his shield and attack with his sword after 10 minutes of relentless attacks. He is done for.

"My Lord Alpha, I would not be able to protect these family anymore. I leave their lives into your hands."

Suddenly, he heard a voice.

"Do not breath Jake and cover your nose. Run back to the group." 

"What!?" He did as instructed nonetheless and proceeded to run back to Daniel and others, slashing at the 2 wargs blocking the way with the last of his strength.

The wargs evaded the slash. Before they could retaliate, they are hit with glass containers in their faces.

The wargs then rolled in the ground and pawed their faces, as if trying to get rid of something.

Even with his mouth and nose covered, Jake smells something very foul, like rotting meat and eggs combined. He ran towards Daniel weakly, feeling exhausted. The goblins tried to follow him but are hit with 4 glass spheres as well. 

They shouted, cursed and fell to the ground vomiting. What a glorious sight.

Jake was able to return to the group, staggering weakly like a hungry horse.

"Please... hah... don't use that... anywhere... near me... ever... again..." Jake said while grasping for air.

"Let's get out of here Jake!" Father said while carrying Daniel in his back.

"Yes! Team! Let's get out of here and move out!" Jake shouted.

They ran towards the other side of the river as fast as they can.

The Goblins are running towards the team with their axes raised, cursing and vomiting as they ran.

"Beta! They are.. determined... to get us!" Jake said.

2 arrows hit the Goblins at their backs. They hobbled as they flee. More cursing ensued.

Royce then ran towards the group. 

"Move! Move! Move!" Royce shouted.

The trees parted as 2 massive ogres appeared. They are holding huge boulders the size of a head on each hands.

They threw the boulders with great effort and power.

"Evade!" Jake shouted!
