A brutal victory and the pillaging begins

Vera looked horrified at Rovni's call and while some commotion could now be heard from the buildings clearly knowing what was coming and scampering to prepare and chorus of cackles and rapid footfalls surrounded the farm and as the first few men entered the center, barely able to see what was happening Rovni's horde burst through into the farm and were upon their prey in seconds, able to see much better in the dark then normal humans.

"My horde is goblins, stay with me and you will be fine." Rovni said to her tag along who took the initiative to step closer to her sorta-savior.

The goblins swarmed the first few men but more came out now and carried axes and simple short swords but her goblins used their numbers and the men were now fighting for their lives to little success and soon Rovni heard women's screams as her goblins broke into the houses and found their prizes.

It took a few minutes but soon enough the fighting had ended and her raid had been successful, several women dragged out and held down in front of her by two goblins each, one thing people underestimated about goblins was their strength, while not as strong as a man they were not actually far behind and could easily overpower much stronger foes in small groups, farm women stood no chance.

As her horde dragged the last woman kicking and screaming out of the house she had taken Vera from and held before her Rovni counted nine women, Vera included, her goblins gathered around to hear her orders while her captives shrieked and struggled against their captors.

"Quiet!" Rovni shouted and her prisoners immediately stopped at the much larger woman's orders.

"Well done my horde, you please your chieftess to no end with your tenacity and brutality, today we take another step into our growing strength, and we have a new member, a former **** to your future whores and now one of us, welcome Vera to the horde." Rovni announced and gestured to Vera as her goblins cheered.

"Treacherous whore!" Rovni looked to the captive that had spoken who shrunk back and her goblins tightened their grip on her as all went silent.

Rovni walked up and as a little light filled the sky, had a good look at the woman, easily the oldest among them, looking like a grandmotherly sort, "Tell me Vera, how long have you been here?" Rovni asked, looking over her shoulder at Vera who clutched the dagger Rovni had given her to her chest.

"Twelve winters." Was Vera's response and Rovni nodded before turning back to the old woman.

"To old to be used for labor or carry a child, probably to used up for anyone to enjoy, Vera, her life is yours, prove that your worth more than what they bought you for." Was Rovni's command and turned to face her new horde member.

Vera looked horrified at the statement but locking eyes with the old woman Rovni watched something change and anger followed by rage overtook her features as all the things that she had gone through, that plagued her mind made themselves known to her.

Rovni didn't turn as Vera marched past her and she heard a short scream cur off by gurgling and screams from the other women, she had split her throat and Rovni smiled as her goblins cheered in glee at their knew members actions.

"Drag out the carts I saw, leave the animals for now, take anything of value and use to us, also gag and bind the remaining seven, their noise is annoying me.

her goblins scattered, leaving the ones holding the captives who seemed to have given up and wept at what was happening to them.

Turning back Rovni looked and confirmed that the old woman's throat had been gouged and Vera stood before her with bloody hands, "Go and get yourself some better clothes and take a sword from the dead." Rovni ordered lightly, taking her dagger back and Vera nodded more confidently and made off towards the main house she had come from.

In the better light, as she left Rovni took Vera in a little better, medium length black hair, thin as expected of a ****, not much in terms of feminine assets and stood a good foot shorter than herself but any able hands were welcome.

turning and surveying the carnage Rovni was pleased to see none of her horde laying among the dead, only the men of the farm, had the women also been fighters they would have proven a much greater challenge, Rovni would never understand the humans gender roles, her mother had tried to explain but with her aunt is a eight foot tall hulking warrior it just never made sense.

Muffled screams alerted Rovni to her prisoners being gagged by torn of bits of cloth and bound in by rope, along with binding their wrists and ankles.

Her goblins had made short work with the carts and were already piling in tools and weapons, bundles of rope, sacks and crates of goods much to Rovni's delight.

"Chieftess." Vera called and as Rovni turned saw Vera had changed into a simple blue tunic and hide pants, a belt now sporting a sheathed short sword hung from her left side.

"Good choice, now Vera, any good farmer hides some loot for such matters as you see now, living here for so long I assume you may know something, don't suppose you would get a couple of goblins and retrieve it would you." It was more a order than a question but Vera nodded happily and with a 'Yes chieftess' and headed for the group of goblins piling in loot to the cart.

Her first raid had been a great success and her new horde member seemed to realize that she had only Rovni to answer to and was happy to see her former owners misery.

All in all, for Rovni it was a good morning.
