The Southern Clearing

Oda is on the route to the Dungeon, he heard Gcina's voice early back at the Get. She was shouting at some important gobo's who had as she put it, "not even grown green enough to be mistaken for grass."

Oda has no idea what she that means but he is gald it was not him being spoke too like that. He made a short stop at the hovel and told Reku he was off she handed him a sword and shield to protect himself. She scented frustrated and was all sweaty when he got back to the hovel she didn't explain when he asked her and nearly got a slap so he just left. Diana was still busy so he could even have company on the way that he wanted. Oda's journey pretty much uneventful expect for the pack of Great Hyenas he came across. They had killed a hippo and are laughing and munching down...

Impi is like the rest of his Black-Bloods all level up some even twice. Tau is smiling wickedly leaving Impi to arrange the healing order of their group. The reason Tau is smile is because the Horde is complete with everyone awake its finally done no more extra missions left. This would have been enough to make his night however right after that he got another notification.

*2nd notification*

[First Of Field Boss Siegfrid]

[Rewards Will Be Doubled!]

[Experience Will be Doubled!]

[Party Leader Exclusive Reward Earned!]

[Unlocked the Southern Clearing]

[Minimum requirement level 10]

The rewards that were doubled are also affected by his loot bonus. So he got a full seven pieces of an armor set for a kobold blue rank. Three white rank bows, four blue rank spell books and six crafting materials twenty items in total. Coupled with the double experience he is really happy.

The party leader Exclusive reward is a ticket that he converts for a prize, obviously his loot trait increases the reward from green rank to red giving him two red rank items in total in his inventory. The first he got is still undefined which would have pissed him off if not for the contender notification. He not sure what's it about exactly but he doesn't care he is planning to be strong enough to beat who ever they make him fight.

This new reward is defined and at his power level whicb has settles around the two thousand two hundreds. Just like he thought the increase is nominal however its there.

[Ring of Healing]

Info:A ring created by an advanced healer with the aid of an enchanter. Later the core was upgraded.

Description:A ring that has two skills attached to it and a passive. Cannot be upgrade.

Properties: <Healing Touch: increases healing factor by 5 for five min> <Heal All: Heals a group to half health. Cooldown 1 hour> <Activated Passive: Healthly Mind: by continuiously consuming ten percent of your Mana your bodies natural regen rate will increase by 1.

Tau immediately puts on the ring for the passive effect thou he loses ten percent of his Mana for a daily growth pip on his regen. He then casts group heal for the Kobolds since they are the most injured.

"Thanks Boss we really needed that," as a side effect all the Black-Bloods also got healed. Tau calls them over to hand out rewards.

"Impi takes these you guys earned them," says Tau, Impi hands them out to their weakest members. He is still limping but otherswise alive. To Tau that's a good party strategy eliminating weaknesses is better strengthening strengths. This pisses off Pilo his scent giving him away. He is reprimanded by Zetu for scenting hostility in front of the Horde Leader.

Impi comes back while everyone recoups their strength. "What's next boss?" says Impi.

"Yeah boss man are we going to continue or are ready to go home. I'm beat already I don't usually do this kind of thing you know." says Jade speaking to her leader like she is speaking to a friend. Tau doesn't mind for now since the Horde is still new. He does scent displeasure just to let her know.

" Yes. We are continuing, we will be leveling in the Southern Clearing once we determine the kind of enemies are there. I will decide your your assignments. Jade your with me, your two groups are separate Impi you will lead Dawn group and Pilo you will lead Star group. The one who has better results will be receive a prize. You all still owe me payment for the Kobolds remeber that." Says Tau the prize he plans to give is whatever he happens to find along the way with them. By being in separate parties he can start to gauge the natural drop rate of items in the Dungeon and since they will be the first ones in there it should have some good stuff.

Jade exhales deeply following the two groups separate. Tau is hoping this becomes a rivalry and they push each other. So far he has been very lucky with his situations so now he needs to actually act like the doom is all around them. The southern clearing is a large cave system with many paths and minerals to be mined. The monsters here are Jackols, another subspecies of Kols.

They are usually twin stripped red and white, jackals with human appendices. They also wear basic armor which is mostly just an armor skirt of some sort. They also all carry weapons like swords and bows.

"Okay Dawn Group lead by Impi will go first you guys can pick any tunnel. If you find the boss retreat and wait for us here. We will meet back here in four hours. Its only just past twelve now so after this hunt we will rest until six before then work hard." Tau says scenting duty and responsibility, encouragement and hope. The Dawn group seems more responsive while Pilo and his Star group are not so much.

Only wearing his healing ring Tau, uses his sword a white rank item. He turns as, Impi and the Dawn group move to the left most tunnel filled with the least amount of minables. While Pilo picks the one with the most. Tau goes through the biggest closely followed by Jade.

The Jackols are fast and mean usually in packs of four. The rear unit is the most dangerous as Tau is learning that they have one ranged Jacko in every pack. The second time around him and Jade kill the rear Jackol first now then fight the rest of the pack. Jade is stronger than most enemies in this tunnel.

"Jade I want you to learn to fight close combat incase something happens to me you must be able to properly defend yourself." Says Tau she is an uncut diamond he stumbled upon he is going to make she is the next jewel of ocean the most valuable diamond ever.

"Alright boss, I need a little motivation please tell me about Caratrain blueprint you got." Jade is genuine and scents so to, with justa hint of greed. Tau thinks about it a small detail won't give away the Caratrain.

"The Caratrain I have is a magnetic one...They walk as he talks her eyes alight with wonder. He asks himself why she is so entransed at the mention of a machine..." The base plate and the drive train are two separate pieces the drive train also has a unique suspension module....Jade nods and smile ohwing and Ahing at his words. All he did was just read out some of the details he could remeber...." The base plate and drive Train never actually touch so that no matter what the terrain the carriage will never feel a thing...Jade oh's like a child Tau can't help but ask her..."Jade why are so you interested in this device?"

Jade smiles shaking her scenting of nostalgia, "I used to be a machinal engineer back on my old life, that's stuff just gets my juices flowing plus I really luck my first talent is artisan. So there is that too.

" What's does the artisan talent mean exactly?" Asks Tau, his interest peaked he is still building his knowledge about goblins and talents.

"It means I can have three jobs at once, as an artisan all of them grow at the same rate from one another. I already have the blacksmith job... Ouch." Tau is frozen stiff Jade just said she can have three jobs, a burst of shock scent comes from him. Attracting Jackols, they run the shock scent base is almost the same as fear or terror so they can be mixed easily especially when scenting different creatures.

Tau takes out his sword breaking it in the head of the lead Jackol, he launches four darts at the rear Jacko. While the remaining are caught by him his hands grabbing their necks. He exhausts himself repeatedly releasing ice darts into their necks. He turns to Jade who fires her strong arrows one after the other until the frozen Jackol dies.

"Tell me everything about yourself, if you have a birthmark on you vagina I want size, composition and how it makes you feel. Don't leave anything out." Jade steps back blushing, Tau's eyes are glowing red right at her. She starts to speak. Explaining all her goblin traits, the type of advance body she has. A scar she got on her first day and the beginnings of hrt relationship with Dimitri.

"So it was really exciting you see, being one of two advanced bodies. I thought it is some kind of sign from the universe you know like we are meant to be. You see we found a pet that he gave to me a real strong one too you would wet yourself if you knew."

Tau is blown away everyone has a story he thought maybe it was just his class but it seems that every creature might have an origin that is unique to them. That help determine their experiences like and desires, Jade is particularly motivated by revenge for the death of a pet. She had gotten emotional over it and stopped she cried a bit bit didn't need to be soothed.

She said, "I cry over important things I don't mind tears."

"Im really sorry about all that I hope we can really become friends, here take it. I'm trusting you with it because I want to show you what kind of place the Horde is for goblins no matter their past." Tau hands her the piece of the blueprint if he got this emotional, he can only scent the complex emotions swirling around Jade. He does feel bad but also he is a leader this is a chance for him, showing her kindness during a vulnerable moment will attach her to him. Plus being an advance body she is strong and can be a great fighter. He lements at the fact that once again advance bodies really are cheats....
