The adventures of Serum Part deux
As the squad muddled along the dried wasteland, It became more and more quiet, The sand was kicking up, Making visibility low, And that's when it dawned on Serum, This was a commonly used Goblin tactic, The Goblin mages would use wind magic to kick the sand up, Setting it perfectly for an Ambush, This was a widely feared tactic for it's unavoidability, So in a panic, the members scrambled, Instead of forming the "Legion Circle" A formation where everyone had their backs to each other, Preventing any cheap shots.
And before we knew it, They were on us, The staunch smell of rancid meat from one animal or another and the musky scent of stagnant cave water, And the ringing of steel and shouts of excitement and surprise, But the sand was our disadvantage, And we knew it, One by one, The sound was leaving, And the shouts were dying, And then.....
It was just him, Serum, Waking up, In some dark place, A dim light could be seen coming from the room in front of him, But his hands were chained up, And his legs were bound. Looking aorund, Serum saw several other bodies, Whether they were conscious or not was a mystery, As the ambience of the caves surely blotted out all the sound breathing makes.
And then he heard it, A booming voice that was the command of the Goblins, The Goblin King, He was nearby, And he sounded mad, Serum was wiggling frantically trying to escape, But to no avail, The footsteps were closer now, And there was apparently more then one pair of them, As well, Just when they arrived at the door, Serum heard a sound, Almost like clinking armor, And more shouts, Ringing steel and a thud, And the gate swung open, To reveal 4 people.....
