a confused stand-off quickly defused

walking away from the stream Pippa comes across the lowest of creatures to roam these woods. a goblin. they both come out of the bushes and stand before each other. the goblin takes one look at Pippa in her armor and seems very afraid

Pippa finds strange the reaction of the goblins. But she tries to stay focus in case that's a distraction.

"Hello. What do you want ?"

She also get her hand near the weapon, if needed.

the goblin looks at her

"Nothing. Just don't hurt me, please"

Pippa doubt that goblins could know any clues on theses lands. While she's armored, better not stay too long near them.

"Let me go further without trouble, and there won't be trouble."

"Umm... Yes. You are free to leave." the goblin looks confused but less afraid

Pippa resumes walking, but stays on her senses for a moment, if she was followed.

But it seemed that the both of them were mostly surprised by each other, and neither wanted an escalated violence.
