Normally in Dnd when you pick your 'core' class, you gain a list of benefits that range from 2 skills of your choosing to even profiency in basic martial weapons, so seeing that all his status contained was his classes core features left Yon more than abit depressed.
'We ball'
Thinking this Yon finally moved on to the final set of items in his inventory in the form of a Goblin and Owlbear, one listed as a Ally the other a Foe respectively.
Yon could already guess what each tags meant but what he was curious about mainly was the extent of the (ally) tag on the Goblin.
Would it listen to him? Follow orders? How long would it stick around if not?
Questions he would soon answer as he extracted it from his inventory, causing a swirling black mist to appear a distance away from him as the CR 1/4 creature emerged from it.
'Well thats totally not scary'
The waist tall creature appearance was haggard with dark spotty green skin, a mouth of jagged teeth, long nails that could pass for claws topped by it's frog like eyes that dripped with a predatory light through its black unkempt hair that ran all the way down to its waist.
"Hello there"
Ignoring his neverouness at the small creature Yon greeted it causing the clearly confused creature to snap its gaze towards him allowing Yon to see the small glow that came off of them in the dim darkness.
"BOSS!"
Sluring its words the Goblin spoke much to Yon's surprise as it came closer, a sharp tooth smile blooming on its face that appeared pretty child like now that Yon had a closer look.
"What do you mean boss?"
Asking this question the Goblin didnt take long to answer as it pointed a long sharp nail finger towards Yon and then one at itself.
"You boss, me follow"
"Okay simple enough"
Nodding his head it didnt take long for Yon to accept he now had a Goblin follower.
"Do you have any weapons?"
Asking this question, the goblin shook its head, but as if to make sure the goblin tapped on the little skirt of dirty cloth around it's waist.
"Okay that's fine we will get you something just keep an eye out"
Saying this Yon pulled the shield and Mace from his inventory the weight of both items providing Yon abit of comfort as he prepared to walk into town.
"I follow boss"
Saying this the goblin followed Yon as he began walking along the dimly lit streets of the town.
The town looked like what you would expect from one overlooked by a castle most of the buildings were constructed of wood and stone with artchitecture looking straight out medieval times.
"Boss over there!"
Hearing his new Goblin friends voice Yon head whipped around just barely in time to look where the goblin was pointing to see a quietly retreating figure not to far from him.
'Nope'
Feeling his heart slightly Race Yon began to walk faster his goblin friend soon following.
"Boss theirs more!"
Not bothering to turn around Yon had already caught sight of several more figures obscured in the darkness of the alleys ahead and seeing as their numbers continued to increase Yon didnt waste a moment as he broke into a sprint.
'Where can I hide'
Thinking this Yon continued to run the goblin barely keeping up as the number of figures got higher and higher.
'Why are they not approaching...unless, shit'
Seeing another road full of the figures Yon turned left his mind although scared soon noticed they were not doing anything but standing there and blocking out paths.
A horrifying conclusion but this also meant they might not attack until Yon got to where ever they were forcing him towards and judging by how he was quite much closer to the foot of the hill rocky hill upon which the castle sat he came to a pretty conclusion as to where and if he kept up this pace he would have the energy to run let alone fight for his life when he arrived.
'Lets do a test'
Slowing his sprint to brisk walk Yon kept his gaze on the figures noting that none of them seemed to be moving closer, giving him time to think of a plan
"Goblin"
Calling to his companion Yon took out the shield from his inventory and handed it to his little friend who seemed surprised, but Yon didnt pay attention to that as he took out the Mace the wooden shaft and leather grip resting naturally in his hand as he rested the head of the Mace on his shoulders as he walked down the road under the gaze of mysterious figures.
'I have a bad feeling about this'
Following the path laid out to him Yon felt like he was walking to his doom a feeling only made worse as he arrived at the base of the path leading up the hill.
"MORTAL PREPARE TO DIE UNDER THE GREAT VAMPYRO, BUT FIRST PROVE YOUR DESERVE SAID RIGHT. "
Suddenly in the sky a swarm of bats swarmed from every direction blotting out the bright moon above as they formed into to a man, who before Yon could catch of glimpse of found himself being called on by the his goblin friend.
"Boss! Undead!"
Turning around Yon found a group of 5 pale figures approaching their eyes empty and hollow their figures gaunt and starved and the only piece of clothing being the ripped torn cloth that barely maintained their decency.
"SCREEECH"
Letting out a guttural screech one of the ghoulish creatures ran towards Yon.
'Fuck!'
Panicking at the approaching creature Yon began to back away out of fright.
"Save boss!"
As the Ghoul Got closer Yon was getting ready to run but much to his surprise the ghoul found itself toppled by the Goblin who ran into it with its shield.
'Fuck it'
Seeing that his Goblin was ready to throw hand Yon decided to fight and so readying his Mace he swung at the downed creature who was still reeling from the shove from the goblin.
*Bang*
That's all that echoed as Yons Mace made contact with the creature head, but to his surprise it didnt shatter the creatures skull instantly but still seemed to be enough to knock it out as the creature went still.
