With the Goblins dead, and the loot cleansed, thanks to the efforts of their cleric, the group started moving toward their destination again, but in a much larger formation. Rae stayed in the trees nearby, and Thor joined Bob at the front of the group, while the wood golems took up positions on the flanks and Karl brought up the rear of the convoy.

Nobody was saying anything, but it didn't feel unfriendly, more like it just wasn't necessary to say anything, since everyone understood their roles. If there was a threat, they would call orders, but while just walking, nobody was going to get lost or fall out of position unexpectedly, the way that a bunch of distractible students might.

The only one that was truly on edge was Bob, who kept catching glimpses of Rae in the trees, and thinking that they were going to be attacked until he realized that it was just her again.
