Events of the 14th of Granite.
"Oh gods!" shouted Jirou. "Skelks!"
Jirou ran for his life, while the Skelk gave a halfhearted chase.
For some reason, Jirou was out on the tundra, trying to collect some vague item.
And he was out there by himself.
He was so focused on escaping the Skelks that he ran directly into a goblin ambusher squad.
"AAAAAHHH!" screamed Jirou, hoping to make himself heard in the fortress.
"GOBLINS!" he screamed, again and again, running around in circles as they attempted to catch and silence him.
Unfortunately for them Jirou was very fast, and it was not long before he had gained a substantial lead on them.
Nagash II was also very fast, and was out on the Tundra by himself as well.
But he knew no fear, and rushed to assist Jirou in his moment of need, deciding only at the last moment that he would prefer to go and get a drink.
It wasn't a problem for Jirou, however, as the goblins were by this point disappearing into the distance, unable to keep up.
They did see battle, however, in the form of the mighty spear maiden Viktoria.
The battle only lasted a few moments, and she actually required more time and effort to get the blood off her shining spear.
She was moments later joined by her squad, and Id's squad as well.
"Goblins." she muttered to them, and they gazed at the corpses sombrely.
"Where there's one squad, there's more." said Kast.
"Indeed." mused Viktoria. "We'll do a sweep."
"Elves just arrived." replied Id. "We'll go babysit the treelovers while you check the surroundings."
Viktoria merely nodded, and began moving south.
