4 Goblins and the girl 2

With the single point increase to my Dexterity the stat doubled its effectiveness. I did not doubt for a second that this was simply because I had low stats, and not because attributes were really that powerful.

Regardless of the reason for the massive increase, I could feel that my body was much more agile than it was before. My coordination had also recieved a huge boost. I was now able to nimbly pounce through the fallen stones, making as little noise as possible.

I dare not act too slow, as I knew the girl would not last much longer in her state. I had no plan as I agily crept towards the camp of the four remaining goblins. I stayed to she shadows as I observed my prey. The goblins were not very intelligent, nor were they very strong, and yet their numbers made up for this weakness.

A single goblin could not due much, but four of them were far to many for me. Hell a single one would probably be too much if I did not manage to catch them by surprise.

As I observed them, I realized I would not have a chance to act in stealth. The four goblins were fully focused on the cooking girl, but each of them sat on a different side of the fire. If I approached one, I would undoubtedly be seen by another. I cursed in my head. I would have no choice but to risk it.

As I got ready to pounce an unbelievable scene played out before me. An extremely large spider lumbered towards the fire. It had undoubtedly been attracted by the scene. Its eight monstrous eyes glimmered in the light of the fire as It eyes not only the girl, but the goblins as well.

I was not the only one to have noticed the intruder, one of the four goblins had spotted the giant beast as well. It let out a large screech as it jumped to its feet. The other goblins followed suit. as they quickly looked in the direction the screeching goblin was gazing.

I could not see their faces, but I could imagine their eyes went wide in shock as the monstrous arachnid charged towards its expected meal. The goblins were not complacent with their incoming deaths. Rather they grabbed their crude weaponry and charged towards the spider as well. I watched as crude clubs and spears were aimed towards the spider, but quickly moved into action myself.

I charged towards the rocks holding up the girl, using my momentum to send the girl crashing towards the ground. Unfortunately she landed straight into the fire, he body extinguishing the flames.

I could hear a pained filled scream, and the scent of burning flesh filled the air as the red hot coals burned into her back. The girl quickly rolled out of the fire pit. Rolling her body along the cavern floor to put of the few wisps of flames that covered her tattered clothing.

The coals had managed to weaken the ropes that bound her, and with a few frenzied swipes from my claws the girl managed to struggle free.

I did not wait for the girl to get her barings as I slowly nudged her to my previous hiding spot behind the jagged rocks. Thankfully the girl was rather dazed by the entire situation, and obediently followed my nudging.

By the time we had made it to safety the fight between the Spider and the goblins had reached its peak. 2 of the goblins had already been slain, both of them having been a wielder of the primitive clubs.

The spider looked as if it had seen better days. Two of its eight massive legs hung at weird angles, and had obviously been victims to the aforementioned clubs. The spider was bleeding green ooze from the many holes that had been pierced into its body.

The two remaining goblins stood a ways back from the spider, their spears angled out in front of them in a defensive stance. They were covered in wounds as well, with blood covering their bodies. One of the goblins arms laid limply at its side as it stared up at the spider defiantly.

The spider let out a large hiss as it shout out two streams of webs at the dead goblins, before once again slinking back into the shadows. The goblins let out a sigh of relief as they turned back to their now extinguished campfire.

Moments later a loud scream could be heard echoing through the cave. If I was not wrong, then the goblins had realized their meal had been stolen from them. I laughed at them in my head, as I turned towards the girl.

She was breathing rather hard, and a weezing sound accompanied each on of her breaths. Her eyes were closed as she leaned against the wall of the cavern. Her skin seemed to be in a poor state, and was quite obviously burned. Large blisters could be seen covering most of her body, thankfully for her, her face had been spared the calamity.

If I could sigh at the sight I would of. A quick glance at the girl was enough to know she was rather attractive. She had blonde hair, and her clothing did nothing to cover her rather curvy body.

I did not put much thought into it as I crawled into her lap and closed my eyes. After working so hard today I deserved a comfy place to nap.
