Hobgoblin Gird
Swarm Tactics >> well deserved rest /// Day 0 // Morning > Afternoon It worked, a bit of an issue here and there but it worked. Only a couple bats escaped from the colony and they were left with the rest. The bats were dead and he could finally satiate his hunger, even Luz seemed to be enjoying herself. Gird did not wait to dig into their catch leaning up against the tree as he did to catch his breath and rest.
The bats tasted ok but they would do for now, these new skills were about what he expected although the drawbacks were not. He could almost feel his hearing get better and better the more bats he ate, the light from the sun seemed to bother him a bit more but he even felt the pain from his wounds slowly dull as he ate their flesh and drank their blood.
As he neared the end of his portion of bats he found himself just starring at the last 4 bats. Something didn’t seem right, almost as if something deep down was telling him that the bats were not ready to be eaten just yet. The pale hobgoblin continued to eat just the wings from the four bats and set what was left next to him. Slowly he began to dig a hole next to the tree and placed the small bones of the bats that he did not consume as well as whatever scraps were left with some portions of his webbing into the hole and buried it.
“Again we thank you for your sacrifice, through you we grow stronger, and may you return to Duvelna to rest forever in peace.” There was always peace and order in death and the small prayer he made was all that he knew he could as he waited for Luz to return from gathering the bats trapped in the rest of the webs. He would wait for her and rest letting his food digest and to regain his energy. During this time the hobgoblin would ponder what to do next.
They were already north east from the church, farther north west from them were the spiders and he could get better thread control from them if they went that way. The snakes may be a good idea for later then there was always the possibility of whatever goblin grandpa told them to the far north. A beast of legend, something even he wasn’t sure of only that it was there. Girds curiosity and want to find a challenge sparked his interest. Once Luz returned he would ask her what she thought.
Once Luz returned, “Luz now that we are rested and fed do you still want to come with me? I am having a craving for more spiders but more so. I have a feeling in the pit of my stomach that terrifies me. The thought of some beast of legend roaming the northern forests. We are already close to the area and the thought of even just seeing such a beast fills my heart with excitement.”
Summary: @Jangel13while resting Gird ate all but four of his bats other than their wings and buried what was left of the other bats he had eaten. He buried them next to him and said a small prayer. While resting he thought of what to do next, he wants more spiders but also wants to find the legendary beast to the far north. After Luz@demonspade64 returned he would ask her what she thought of where he wanted to go next.
