Who gives a shit about our wounds.  We make a rough bandage out of our shirt, then we find and kill that cowardly fucker.

Definitely make it clear why we won first, though.

MEDIIIIIIC!
seriously, our guts are nearly spilling. Go catch Ulla-sha, or healer. Whatever. Then mee Ulla-sha and ask her why the hell did they think she needed protection, she killed three goblins in an instant. (Maybe the three grubs from page 3? who knows!)
And then ask about mister Screw-the-rules-I-have-minions.

I like how the most emotional reaction to Alca whooping ass is "Oh btw... Go ask why she needed protection."

Everyone else is just like, "meh.". It's kind of funny.

Maybe I need to ramp it up a little.... >:D

Well, I understand the importance. There's just matters of greater importance, like getting healed before we die.

It's rather that we nearly died for the right to protect a girl that ended up protecting us, so we're kind of humiliated here. The reaction is more going to yell "WTF?" at the nearest responsible person.

You stumble off to get medical help from Amma-cha. As you limp towards the med tent, you slowly realize just how clearly you can see your muscles. Something about the way they move and shiver as you walk disturbs you deeply in a way that makes it impossible to stop looking at the clean-cut tendons.

Amma has several woven mats for patients. Usually this is sickness, but only one other goblin is in the sickbay right now, and he's sitting up and looking fairly healthy, if a little green. You guess he's getting over something, and spending a extra few days with the not-unattractive Amma.

Amma isn't there at the moment. You wonder what distracted her, but tiredness and bloodloss take over, and you drift into a fitful sleep...

=------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------o--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------=

You awaken some few days later. Your mat has been cleaned, as well as your wound, and you've been dressed in soft clothes of woven mycellium, a fine and silky cloth which slides over your fingers like water. The cloth is stained with your blood, turning a deep ruddy brown. Still, you can walk, with a grimace and some willpower.

The cuts on your body seem to be healing well. The other goblin is gone, healthy and released, presumably. Amma is facing the other direction, conversing in low tones with the Champion and Ulla-sha. They don't seem to notice you're awake.

Don't move, you're still weak. Just stay silent and listen. Listen carefully.

I think he's talking about the Pharoah Tomb you're building there.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You listen in carefully to the conversation.

Ulla-sha is speaking. "-tever it is, it left a crater big enough to fit a small tribe in."

"It sounds so scary, Ulla! Were you hurt?"

"'course not." Ulla says gruffly. "I didn't walk up and touch the thing after all. It'was making some sort of buzzing noise, like a hive of beetlebrights. An' the ground around it was all smoking ash."

The champion speaks. "It sounds dangerous. Ulla-sha, I trust your judgement on the matter. Should I take a warband out to destroy it?"

"Nek. I doubt warriors would be able to do much anyway, it's not a animal or plant. More like a rock that moves."

"Another holy artifact then? Should we send shamans?" asks Amma.

"I don't think we have a profession for this." Says the champion. "If it poses any threat we have to destroy it."

"I don't think it's threatening just yet, Naun. Put yer damn spear away." The champion clasps his hands behind his back in a pose of supplication. "Nah, this isn't the problem. The problem is the new Star."

"I was looking last night. It doesn't shimmer like the others do. It seemed to move."

"Yes, me too." Amma blushes, as does the Champion. "It's frightening. Stars aren't supposed to change unless something big is going to happen..."

"Aye." says the champion.

"Aye. Something big IS going to happen. I can feel it in my ears." Says Ulla. Then she looks directly at you. "And this little sneaky rat's going to be at the center of it! Me eyes are telling me that."
