Jason did as every adventurer would and happily cut of the creatures ears. He slowly sliced of the ears of this monster the size of a ten year old child and stopped for a moment as realization dawned down on him.

' This is really fucked up isn't it? Harvesting the parts of a humanoid for profit is really something else.....

Oh well, let's continue!'

Jason forgot his silly thoughts as he finished cutting the goblins ears. He then put them on his backpack and once again his on the bushes. He continued to wait in the bush , like a silent hunter, striking only when he was sure of his shoot.

............

'.......

Time seemed to pass slowly to Jason and soon he became bored soon enough. To maintain his focus he decided to start counting back from 100, and continued to do so until his eyes noticed something. It was something brown and green moving at incredible speed across the ground.

' What the....

He couldn't get a good look at it, that's how fast it was, but he was sure of one thing.

' It definitely has come for the truffle. It seems that it's odor is more tempting that I thought. '

Jason wasn't that worried though. He slowly took an arrow from the ground near him and prepared to shoot, but didn't draw the bow. He just rested the arrow in the string only enough for them to touch.

' Come on, let me see what you are. I'm waiting....

"Krrrrr...

As Jason was waiting for the opponent to reveal itself, another one showed up. It was another humanoid , with dark and thick hair covering every part of its body, except it's ugly face. It was fat and tall as the hobgoblin, had sunken beedy eyes, a pronounced snout about and a pair of tusks coming out of it's drooling mouth.

"Krrrrr....krrrrr....

It steadily as slowly made it's way towards the hole and Jason didn't like it. He prepared to shoot an arrow right at the ork's chest , but someone had beat him to it.

"Kiiiiii....

A shrill sound was heard the green and brown shadow that Jason couldn't get a good look of stopped in the ork's way.

' Well, this is getting interesting.' though Jason as he finally got a good look at the thing. It looked like a big fox with brown fur and a big bushy tall that was dark green in colour.

"Kuaaaaa....

The ork saw the little creature blocking his path and immediately got mad. It tried to stomp on it with its hoffed foot, but the creature was to fast. It immediately doged and went to bite his other leg.

"Krrrr....

It bit hard on its foot, but the ork didn't even flinch as it tried to squash the fox with his hand and failing again as the fox was to fast.

"Krrrrr...

"Kiiiikiiii.....

The two creatures were in a stalemate as the ork couldn't get a hit in because of the fox's speed and because now the ork knew what to expect. The fox tried to faint a couple of times though, but it wasn't successful so it left leaving only the ork standing there.

' It seems that I have one target once again. I'm not complaining though...

Jason saw the ork was inside the two meter radius of the hole and smiled knowing what was going to happen, but soon enough his smile faded. The ork just gave a side glimpse at the dead goblin not far away and then stepped on the wooden 1 cm spikes like it was nothing. Jason could clearly hear the wood break under the hooves.

' Shit, another miscalculation! The wooden spikes seem to have no effect in orks.' though Jason as he saw the ork reach down for the hole.

'No matter though, I'll adapt my strategy for next time. Huuuuu....

Jason released a breath as he slowly free his bow to its full and aimed at tje ork. He didn't aim for its head though , but for its body as he had more chance of succeeding and because he wanted to know how effective were body shoots to an orks body. He had already seen that the bite of that fox like creature did little damage at the ork so he suspected that it's skin was thick.

' First shoot....

*tang*

The sound of the string launching the arrow broke the silence. It also alerted the ork but it was to late.

"Kuikk..

The arrow flew fast and true, hitting the ork on the upper arm. It made him mad and he tried to look for an enemy around him, but didnt see anything. This made him even more mad as it squealed in anger.

Jason on the other hand was drawing his next shoot when something flew over his head and ran towards the ork. It made Jason stop halfway as he was surprised that the fox had some back.

' So it didn't really leave. It was just waiting for an opportunity. What a sneaky bastard!'

"Kuaaaa...

The ork definitely saw the fox and rushed towards it, but it made a mistake. The fox puffed up its green tall and waved it waved it towards the charging ork, releasing countless, sharp, needle-like projectiles.

*ticktickticktick....

It sounded like raindrops were hitting the orks body , but it still wasn't enough. The ork was built like a tank and the fox had just shot him with airsoft gun. Except a few superficial wounds on its face the ork was fine. In fact it was even angrier, if that was possible.

"Kiiiii...

The fox gave a scream before escaping again, and it's escape route was the same way he came from. Jason saw the fox jump over the bush once again and then he saw an angry ork rushing at him.

"SHIT...

He immediately got out of the bush and ran to the side. He gave everything he had running away , but an angry ork was fast.

"Kuuuaaaaa....

It roared as it chased Jason through the forest and Jason could feel it coming closer and closer .

' Fuck, fuck fuuuuu....

His plan of killing at a distance was completely thrown out of the door as the only thing he could do now, was run for his life.

" Shii shii shiitttt....

He ran and ran, taking turns to confuse the ork and he was almost caught one time, making him almost shut his pants. This continued for one minute until he noticed the footsteps had stopped.He turned around to see that the or was struggling to get up and breathing hard.

"Hah hah, fucker.... you finally stopped! " said Jason in-between heavy breaths. It felt like someone had poured liquid nitrogen in his lungs.

"Krrrrr....Krraaaaa.....

The ork although tiered and wounded was still dangerous as it bared it's teeth towards Jason and Jason could see that he couldn't deliver a killing blow with a dagger. Surprisingly he still had his bow and an arrow in his hand and he was ready to shoot the ork again, but decided to let it suffer for what just happened.

' Now, you'll die in agony. If it wasn't for that damned fox, you would already be dead , but now you'll suffer!

Still, that was one crafty fox. Managing to fool me and the ork at the same time in that way.' though Jason as he slowly headed towards the place where he had put the truffle, but when he arrived there he stopped. He saw that the place where he had buried the truffle had been dug up, evident by the small hill of dirt piled up there.

' No nonono....

Jason rushed to see if what he was thinking was true , and he thankfully stopped before he impaled himself in one of the wooden spikes. Still, even two meters away he could clearly see a wide hole with nothing but rock and dirt at the bottom.

"Kukh... that fucking fox! I'll fucking skin it alive!"

Right in time the usual calming feeling washed over him and he was thinking straight again.

"........

He did as any sensible hunter would do and looked for tracks and track's he found, blood tracks in fact. It seemed that although the fox was quite Intelligent it still had fallen for Jason's trap.

"Hah....you're mine....

Jason quickly grabbed his stuff from the bush and started following the bloody track's with a scary look on his face, that only promised pain.
