All He Could Do

Neesta continued to sit on his boulder as he regarded the crossroads in front of him. Indeed he seemed to have himself quite in a pickle. Why did I choose to do this to myself? He thought to himself. He wasn't a hero, or a warrior, or anything like that. He was just a guy who was trying to get a new lease on his sex life. While he sat on the boulder and lamented his life's choices, he heard the noise of a large moving horde and as he looked off into the distance he saw the squad of goblin's approaching.

"Shiiiit...." Neesta gasped to himself before he slipped down behind the boulder. He stayed low to the ground and tried to hide as much of his body behind the boulder as possible. Fortunately, it seemed to be enough. The goblins missed the crossroads directly and instead aimed towards a large hillock not far from the crossroads. He took a quick peek out from behind the rock after it was clear that they missed him and regarded the situation at hand. Two dozen goblins. Some on Trok's and others with skirmish equipment. What really caught his attention were the women being dragged along with the caravan.

Neesta ducked back behind the boulder and contemplated his options. He really did not want to leave these ladies to their fate, but there's no way that he could take on so many goblins by himself. Suddenly from the direction of the hill, he hears a woman's voice shout "GOBLINS! Lots of them!"

He couldn't really see very well who shouted from this angle and how many there were, but as the vast majority of the goblins turned towards the hill. Neesta saw an opportunity. Perhaps just maybe while the goblins were distracted he could sneak up from behind and maybe at least save a couple of the captives held in the back. He pulled his knives out from his belt and started looking for the quickest route to the goblin's back line with the most cover to ensure that he could sneak up as close as possible without blowing his cover. Perhaps he could even sneak off with freeing a few of the captives before any of them would even notice.

With one last look at his safe hiding spot, he quickly crept up towards the goblins using as much cover possible to hide his advance as possible.
