Walker realized while he was talking to the party about the possibility that these goblins were really some of the last of the forest goblins, that he needed to contact Clara. He had the ability to send a system message to their manager as the leader. He also remembered that he had yet to look at any quests he had been sent, but that would need to wait for later.

Walker outlined the basics of what was going on and how there was a huge problem in the forest that they had not expected to be this far advanced. He tried to avoid the possibility of giving her a heart attack by mentioning a new title but Walker knew that she would see it somehow in the system anyways.

Before he had managed to even focus back in the party's conversation Clara had sent a message in reply. "I have barry coming with a group of monster researchers. Continue on your way and ask Onyx to let the goblin leader know." It was a very simple reply but Walker knew that she would want every tiny detail when they returned to the guild.

"Well that was quick, Clara already replied and is having monster researchers and Barry come to protect them. I wonder if the elves will be against this though." Walker's worried leaned on the fact that the elves technically were in charge of the deep sun hollow forest territory but also did not control it completely. It was a strange grey area between the two kingdoms.

"Good, the guild has the power to keep them safe. I have heard that even the elf queen listens to the adventurer guild in their kingdom." Su had taken her time to ask around about the elf kingdom while she was going about her activities in the kingdom, she had heard a lot of rumors and useless information, but small things like this might just be useful so she remembered them.

"Well, I guess that's it for the stinky goblins. They will be safe, but we still have no idea what is going on with the purple slimes." Remey chimed in with this harsh reminder to keep the party focused on what they were really there for.

"Kroll told me what he knows." Onyx rejoined their conversation at the perfect time. Walker was just feeling the need to make a game plan for their travel. "Kroll says that the slimes we defeated fell off of one enormous slime. It has been traveling around and leaving pieces of itself to grow. It is currently moving towards the largest tree in the forest."

"All of that sounds bad…" Gil said this and nothing else, he was convinced that a massive lime that could lose parts of its body to create small, medium, and giant slimes were something that would be incredibly hard to deal with.

"I think what sounds the worst is that it is heading towards the largest tree in the forest. If I remember right that is one of the elven kingdom's cities. They have a spirit tree in their center that the elves use to commune with nature." when Su said this Walker's face became much more serious.

"If the massive slime is heading there right now then it is a much worse situation than any of us believed. I will send another message to Clara. Then we are getting on the move." Walker wanted to rush off that moment.

"I'm not going anywhere. It is getting dark and we are in a forest we are not used to and we are tired. All of that sounds like we should rest then get going." Remey was putting her foot down here. She wanted to rush off too since there were many that could be harmed if they did not act in some way to at least warn the elves. However. She was not going to let them run around lost in the dark.

"I really want to go, but I know you are right. I will take the first watch with our goblin friend here and you can all get to sleep.' Walker wanted to see if Kroll would stay awake the entire night or rest as well. He also wondered what would happen if any other monsters came out of nowhere and attacked. It was better to have two on the watch than one.

Midnight curled up next to Walker and stayed in the warmth. She looked at Kroll one last time making sure the goblin was not going to do anything. She may have realized what the new title meant but she was another monster. She would not trust as easily as the rest of their arty. However, she knew that Walker would not leave the, in danger and decided to rest nonetheless.

Walker sat up for a long time. It seemed that Kroll and Onyx were getting along rather well. Onyx seemed to have a really good knack for getting someone talking, it was a wonder that he didn't have a skill for it. "Brother, Kroll says that the elves use the same kind of magic arrows as Gil." Onyx had managed to get in the same topic as the magic arrow that arcane marksman used. This was a good point for Walker to wake Gil up.

"Is it morning already?" Gil groggily mumbled as Walker gave him a few taps on the shoulder to get up.

"No, it's your turn to take watch. Plus Kroll is talking about the arrows the elves use. I thought you would be interested." Gil shot up and out of his makeshift bed. This was something he refused to let escape him.

"And you waited to wake me up? This is super important." Gil rushed off to the fire and let Onyx on to his shoulders for a change.

Walker just smiled to himself knowing that he had told Gil as soon as Onyx had told him about the arrows. Walker made himself his bed next to Midnight and let the night pass.

Walker woke up when it was still dark to Su nudging him. "Leader, it is time to get moving Onyx got the direction of the massive slime and we are all ready." Midnight was also just waking up and gave Su a look that pleaded for more time to sleep.

The two got themselves u and shook away the sleep. They snacked on a few pieces of no stale bread and even left some for the sleeping goblins. Kroll had been awake all night and so had Onyx.

"Onyx, let Kroll know that we are going off after the massive slime. Also, remind him that our friends are coming to protect them." Kroll looked to be happy to hear Onyx's translated words. The goblin spider rider was even happier seeing the bread that was left warming by the fire.

"Kroll says that he will always hold great respect for you and that you will win your battle." Walker took this as a goodbye and the party also made gestures of goodbye. When the party finally started to walk away from the goblin's small camp Walker could see Kroll falling to the side dead asleep.

"Soooo we are now friends with goblins." Remey was not sure how to start the conversation now that they were walking away from them.

"About that, what really made you want us to help them? The system gave us a quest, yes, but you already had your mind made up before that, I know you, Walker."

"How would you feel if someone showed up and kicked you out of your home?" Walker's words were much heavier than Gil had been prepared for when he asked his question.

"The more people we meet and the more species of monsters we fight, the more I learn. My feelings that every monster is not evil are only enforced after meeting Kroll. I hope we have a chance to meet an ancient dragon one day. Maybe Midnight will meet some mentors and we can learn about how the world has changed." Su was speaking on these things casually. But the meaning of her words was much more.

If the party learned more about the history of the world they might understand where the hate of goblins truly came from and why the wars had started in the past. The more they knew now the more they could understand now. This theory had saved many lives throughout all of history and using it was never a wrong process.

"Maybe goblins aren't that smelly. I expected them to be unbearable. But they more smelled like dirt than anything." Remey's random out loud thought made everyone laugh. They all had realized that when they first met the goblins but Remey was finally saying it out loud now that they had left the goblin's little camp behind.
