First Party Battle!

"Lob, on defense! Let Sabina handle offense! You're a team now, damn it!"

There was only one second between Rizz's shout and the gecko's incoming charge. Luckily, it was enough to stir up the boarkin's competitive resolve. 

"Come at me, lizard face!" 

As the Mineral Gecko was forced toward Lobur, he swung his hammer lightly. This time focusing on standing his ground without creating any gaps in his defenses. 

The gecko cried as it evaded the feinting swing. 

At the same time, Rizz's commands continued filling the cavern. 

"Gerrart, rotate with Lob! Don't let the gecko get behind you!" 

Silent and obedient, Gerrart grabbed their molekin escort and pulled him along. When Lobur shuffled to the side to keep facing the Mineral Gecko, Gerrart kept himself and Aakur safely behind the brawny warrior. 

However, with the Mineral Gecko forced to turn around, either to deal with the invaders or due to the mad goblin, one thing was forgotten.
