Allegience

You recognized the head as soon as it cleared the horizon. It was that female goblin from the camp, and she wasn't alone, she had somewhere between fifteen and twenty other goblins following her, various piecemeal bows and spears clutched in hand.

Were they coming to attack you, or at the very least rob you? Technically, a large number of them died helping you retrieve a Clamant Crystal.

If so, you had no intentions of going down without a fight, but you couldn't face all of them in the open, they would overwhelm you with sheer numbers. So, you hid in a nook, overshadowed as you waited for them to walk by so you could strike, if you had to pick a target, best to go for the leader, and then maybe the others would run away scared.

Just as you saw her walk by, you leapt out, swinging your sword at her.

It was only thanks to her smaller height that she had time to dodge, the metal of your weapon echoing in the small cave.

"Wait elf... we here... to help!" The gobliness shouted as you paused, awaiting a spear in the back, but none ever came.

"Huh, what do you mean you're here to help, I thought that was the whole point of me helping you get one of those Crystals was so you could fix your camp?" You asked as several of the generic goblins growled and spit on the ground.

"No, Xylon take over! Say I too weak, got claimed by smooth elf!" The girl goblin snarled as several goblins clenched fists and angrily waved their weapons around.

"Claimed but... I don't even know what you mean?" You muttered, curiously scratching your head as she looked away, a small blush visible on her cheeks as they flushed a much lighter green, nearly yellow in color.

"You cover me in scent, claim me in front of camp, I yours now, not allowed to lead." She said as you tried to understand when a small popup appeared.

[UNNAMED] would like to join your dungeon

{ACCEPT} {DENY}

You tapped the accept button as it disappeared. You only noticed the small shift in her as you were looking at her dead on when you accepted, but a small earring appeared in her left ear, solid gold and honestly more expensive looking than anything she had on. A quick glance revealed that all the smaller goblins had a similar look, with most have a nose ring rather than earring, but the general thought was there.

You thought about what to do with your new followers when an idea popped into your head. Pulling up the FP menu, which had more points now as your gained followers, and apparently seduced a rival dungeon leader, only confirmed your plan as you had more than enough points as you chose to create a Champion.

"What you doing... boss?" The girl goblin whispered, softly tugging on your clothes as you glanced at her.

"What's your name?" You asked, the system requiring a name to create a Champion.

"Name? I not have name, I chief, but no more." The goblin answered sadly, the others mimicking her expression.

"Hmm, you have lots of little trinkets and baubles, and your a girl so a pretty name would make more sense..." You trailed off as the goblin cutely tilted her head to the side.

"Bauba, I Bauba?" She asked as you suppressed the snort of laughter that threatened to leak out.

"Okay, you can be Boba." You replied, typing in the name as a soft glow over took her and suddenly a second status page appeared as the newly named Boba smirked, nuzzling herself against your side.

"Shall we get to work Master?"

A/N: Boba is pronounced like Bob-a, just had someone ask.
