Dwarfs and goats

First group that Aron's team would rescue was the older woman. Aron reasoning was men will be men and if they are almost out of stamina to run they will fight so no point looking for them, it's more efficient to let them come to you.

After just 10 minutes they found them with 2 goats, when Aron saw them he made the ranged damage dealers hit one and let Jack take the other one. This time Aron was going to try his new skill with a shield [slash and bash, this skill has a 20% chance of stunning a target, 50% critical chance and 50% chance of inflicting skill ]

A skill that is to overpowered, specially since the new information on [wound] was good, on normal hits it was now 10% chance of inflicting a bleed of 250 health a second for 20 seconds on a critical hit it was 350 health.

The ranged started the battle and killed one goat before Jack, Aron or anyone else could do something. The second goat now changing targets to the humans with a few dwarfs did make the wrong decision Jack [taunting] the goat and the rest now going in for the kill. The first hit Aron did on the bunny was a critical hit with a wound.

The skill itself did 1000 damage, the goat now on 9000 of 10000 health with a critical bleed of 350 a second. The rest seeing blood coming out of the goat now thought I want that to so they kept shooting, burning or stabbing, slashing the goad killing it within 2 seconds.

Aron: Our damage is good, problem is us Jack I feel like they can hit us way harder than we defend. How much damage did you get in those two seconds?

Jack: 3000 damage, if not for the fast kills and heals I would be dead in no time. I don't think anyone else can survive an attack from them.

Aron and Jack agreed on that, they needed more guards or captains with guard skills. They had the problem of passing level 15, quests Jessica was giving out didn't give any levels. The only way was killing animals and the only found the goats just now. Aron wasn't getting any xp but the rest did, so he was happy about that.

Now it was time to help the older men, after 20 minutes they found 2 goats on them. Aron did inspect the goats.

[Name: Hazel, Faun

Level: 15

Race: goat

State of mind: looking for a fight

Health: 10.000

Mana: 200

Strength: 40

Agility: 35

Stamina: 50]

The battle did progress the same as before only Aron [taunting] the second goat, they wanted to see if Aron did get less damage. He did get less damage overall but it wasn't significant. The dwarfs that did get rescued were happy, sadly not all dwarf men did survive. Now it was time for Aron to look for the younger male dwarfs.

Aron was already dreading the battle with the goats, if they encountered the 9 goats out of the 10 he and his team did see before they would be in for a world of pain. It didn't take Daisy long to spot the younger dwarf males.

Daisy: Reckless indeed, but still brave!

Aron: Yes brave, Daisy lead the damage team, Jack you and me on taking the agro of the goats that Daisy is not hitting.

Jack: I will take Billy OK? You can take the other two, and Daisy please kill my goat first.

With that the battle started, the arrows and fireballs did kill one goat before it noticed anything. Now the other goats had a new target the group of hunters and mage's. Lucky for them Aron and Jack were ready to [taunt] them. Aron took two and started running, not his favourite way to fight but he had no other option.

The second goat was dead after 20 seconds, most of the big skills used a lot of mana and now using them time and time again was draining their mana pool quickly. The problem now was Aron's goats, he could only keep running on this uneven terrain. One mistake and that would be it, Daisy marking one of the goats as main target was doing her best to kill it.

Daisy: This is not good, the goat has still to much health and I'm running out of mana. Did we bring mana potions?

Jack: Yes we did but guess who has them.

Kiara: We don't have to guess, what can we do?

Jack: We could try to kill this one and then let Aron run in the direction of the settlement.

All of them agreed, Aron couldn't because he was still busy running. The goat that Daisy did target wad now on 2500 of 11000 just before Aron tripped.

Kim and Ricky straight up trowing heals over time on him and after they saw a hit they did trow their big heals. Meanwhile Aron system was popping messages like a madman.

[You received 3000 damage.]

[Kim healed you with heal spirt for 800 health]

[Kim healed you with heal team for 500 health]

[You received 2500 damage.]

[Ricky healed you with heal spirt for 600 health]

[Ricky healed you with heal spirt for 600 health]

[Ricky healed you with heal team for 400 health]

[Kim healed you with heal team for 500 health]

[You received 500 damage.]

[You received 1500 damage.]

[You received a wound applying 220 damage a second on you]

[Kim applied wound removal on you]

[Your skill slash and bash applied a stunning for 10 seconds]

Aron now up on his feet again had a few choices, one keep hitting the almost dead goat. The other option was start running again or help the damage dealers kill the already low on health goat. He decided to go for another slash and bash on the lower health goat, he was with this lucky and unlucky at the same time.

[Your skill slash and bash applied a wound of 350 per second]

Now the goat wad enraged because it new it would be dead soon, so instead of the human before him he decided to go for the dwarfs young males who were staring at the battle in front of them. Three dwarfs did die before the young dwarfs noticed after that they started to spread out, it was a little to late. The goat managed to kill 4 dwarfs before Aron's wound killed him.

Now with only one goat left Aron had it easier with the heals of Kim and Ricky. His new skill did do some good work as well, sadly at this pace they would run out of mana soon.

Jack: Run towards the settlement Aron, remember we send a message for aid.

Aron now remembering started running towards the settlement leaving all dwarfs in the care of Kiara, Jack, Daisy, Chloe. Most dwarfs still surprised at the strength of the humans that rescued them, Thovora was the first one to get out of the dazed state.

Thovora: Shouldn't we help him?

Chloe: Don't worry, he will get the help he needs when he arrives at our home.

Thovora: do you live close by?

Jack: Yes it's just a few hours of walking, if you want you can come with us.

Thovora: That would be nice, but do you have the room in your cave? It seems like you are already with many.

Kiara: Don't worry, I believe we have the room and if not we still have until dark to setup the mammoth tents.

They did bury the dead dwarfs, Daisy could see some of the female dwarfs looking with a saddened expression but no one cried. After 15 minutes they walked towards the settlement. When the did arrive the dwarfs looked amazed, they only ever saw caves and a few older new about mining but building stone and wooden structures on land was something new.

Thovora: Is this your home? It's not a cave at all, please explain.

Aron: As you can see this is what we call a wall and observation posts, it's what helped me survive the last goat.

Jack: I guess we need to build a observation posts or two at the mine as well perhaps even a wall with mammoth bone defences.

Jessica: Welcome back and welcome dwarfs I hope your willing to stay tonight, we have some goat meat ready in a few.

Thovora and the rest of the dwarfs saw the welcoming party and the young boy who saved them. They agreed to stay for the night, after dinner everyone turned in for the night. Most dwarfs slept in the wooden houses and to all surprise, it was more comfortable sleeping than in a cave.
