I quickly drop my heaviest stuff to the ground and grab my crossbow. I shoot at a goblin axeman and Ettad helps by cutting its arm off. I'm not sure how many goblins there are in the darkness, but I can see that one of them is clearly their leader.
A goblin spearman charges at me, but only manages to get itself knocked down. So I switch to my spear and stab it in its face. We're getting attacked by three goblins at the same time. I'm focusing to the goblin leader while Ettad fights with two goblin macemen. These goblins seem inexperienced.
Ettad got a small tear in his ear, and his madness against all living beings raises again, and he BITES one of the goblins, shaking it around.
Moments later, another goblin appears from the darkness. I throw some of my rocks at the goblin, disabling its weapon arm, and then get closer and finish it with my spear.
We patrol around our campfire and find a dead badger. I wonder if Ettad has been up killing animals while I was still sleeping or did the goblins do this? While I'm pondering it another badger attacks us! I resort to my wrestling skills and throw the badger high in the air, killing it in the collision with the earth. Meanwhile Ettad finds yet another goblin. The goblin charges at him, somehow managing to knock the big human down. I help Ettad from the distance by throwing rocks at the goblin. Ettad is furious and dismembers the goblin.
We search around the camp again and only find a badger, which of course ends up dead when Ettad sees it. Somehow the camp doesn't feel safe anymore, so we pick up our stuff and start walking towards the town.
It's snowing in the middle of the night and we can't see a thing. Ettad however can hear the badgers and runs off into the night. I hear screams of dying badgers. I sigh again. I come across his unconscious victims and put them down. If he would at least finish them himself.
After some hiking in the darkness we set up a new camp. I'm feeling paranoid and surround us with campfires.
Before falling to sleep, Ettad, in his utter madness declares himself "the Immortal Suicide". Now I'm afraid to go to sleep.
1st Malachite, 11
We spend the whole day travelling. Miraculously I manage to keep Ettad away from animals for a whole day! At evening we're finally back in the fortress of Trammelrisen. We recruit Uhos, a human lasher and spend the night in the fortress.
