The Big Fight Begging

I had calmly went to the the stake where the goblins were tied up and I stopped in front of the one missing the arm. I thought to myself that I want to have a little fun and scare the life out of them pun intended. I tapped on the goblins head a few times with my clawed appendage and the goblin awoke to see a mouth of razor sharp teeth about to crunch into his skull.

Of course it screamed as loud as it could before I silenced it permanently. I was able to crush its skull with my jaws effortlessly and quickly. I hoped that it did not feel any pain from that before departing. I knew this was going to happen, when the other 3 who were woken up by the scream also started making a bit of noise seeing me standing there menacingly. I was able to use my slash skill and killed all three of them along with the stake.

Now that brings me to where I am now. Currently staring at the one who most likely made this little setup, a human. God damn it it just had to be a person. The guy, or girl its kinda hard to tell was standing at the edge of the brush with a spear pointed in my direction not moving from his spot. He/she was quite skinny and had long hair that came down to the shoulders, they wore what seemed to be leather armor but it was a patchwork of many different kinds. Unlike the armor the weapon looked really well made as if it was made the other day. That's all that really stood out to me while we were eye each other down like this.

Hmm I should really get out of here its not like I want to hurt'em or anything. I turned around to leave but not before I heard quick foot steps. I looked back to see the person much closer than before spear still pointed in my direction. Alright, I moved a bit quicker this time to the edge of the clearing and the same thing happened. The damn guy ran after me and stopped when I stopped still out of reach spear ready in hand.

This is getting irritating. WHY ARE YOU STILL FOLLOWING ME! Either attack me and get this over with, or run away already.

I turn around to face this hunter and take a step towards him, he steps back. I step back and he moves forward. Alright it has been a few minutes now and I am just going to get out of here, its not like he would be able to catch me at my full speed right? As I am winding up to start running there was movement from the brush line behind the hunter . . . even more hunters all armed with either shields, nets, spears, and bows. Could this day get any worse.

(That thing is definitely not the size of a large dog, more like a small carriage or cart!?) Man3

Before the man stood the creature he and the group had been trying to hunt and behind him was the back up he had desperately been waiting for. He was as nervous as could be although he did not show it outwardly, inside he was a mess. At first this was not the case, he was a bit confident in his skills with the spear, thinking he could hold his own against the beast until others showed up to help him but the weirdest thing happened.

The beast just stood there. Looking at him, just looking.

It was unnerving to say the least. After many minutes passed it just turned around and walked away. The man had never seen such a thing before, it was just to unnatural. Ever monster, beast, creature, etc. would have rushed him and attempted to kill him. But not this time.

Of course the man followed close behind to make sure his quarry did not get away. I mean he had spent nearly a week out here only encountering mundane pests of sorts that would bother plebs on the outskirts of kingdoms. The thing that gave him chills was that it stopped and looked back, and continued to every time he tried to approach when it tried to leave. Then it began to do tests of sorts moving towards him and back. He had even thought he saw the creature grin for a second. This thing was not your average beast it had some intelligence to it.

But enough of that the man had his allies at his back to assist him no need to be afraid anymore. It was 1 against 12 and they were all armed and prepared for a fight. How could they not come out on top.

"Hey surround this thing already it might get away and be careful I have never seen anything like this!" Man3

"Holy shit, this thing is going to make us rich!" Man2

"Now is not the time for that, those with shields and nets to the front, those with spears back them up, everyone else make sure it cannot get out of the encirclement!" Man1

The only effort the beast made while this was happening was to take a stance, pan its head around and then stay still. Once all the men had gotten to their positions 4 with nets and shields, 5 with spears behind them and the last 3 at the edges of the encirclement making sure nothing would go amiss.

"On my mark you throw your nets!" Man1

". . . . . ." Everyone

"MARK!!" Man1

Once that word escaped his lips the nets were tossed and all hell broke lose.
