As he made his way out of the city, Shimura started to roam around the outskirts. He didn’t stray to far away from the main road, mostly because he feared he couldn’t find his way back. Though he did stray closer to the forest’s edge, where he found an eccentric man seemingly in mid panic, Shimura figured that this man was in need an approached him. The man was older with a long beard and mustache, and he wore blue robes and a pointed blue hat. He honestly looked like a stereotypical wizard that you would see in children’s tales. That was a little frustrating to Shimura for some reason, being so basic, ugh.
“OH OH OH, you there kind sir do you think you could help me?” the old man asked and eagerly stroked his beard, Shimura cocked an eyebrow and nodded in agreement. “Oh good, Oh good! Some goblins have stolen unique gems that I have and I really need them back! Do you think you can get them for me?!” the old man asked, practically begging Shimura for help. “Yea I can help, where did they take them?” the old man seemed to smile brightly, “in the forest, in the forest! Thank you thank you!”
"What are you going to do to us eh? There are five of us, and only one of you. Plus these are our gems and we stolen them fair and square." One of the goblins stood up, crossed his arms, and stepped towards Shimura menacingly. The others stood up as well, and crowded behind their leader. Needless to say, Shimura was not impressed with this act of defiance and simply groaned in annoyance. He clenched his fist ready to strike a goblin if one of them got too close, "Because if you do not return those gems to me, I and my comrades hidden around me, will utterly destroy you five." he took a step forward, "And then we will find your little home with your kin, and exterminate them all like rodents." Shimura threatened and took a step forward. "Even if you managed to beat me, word will get out what you have done to a rune-knight, and an extermination event will still take place."
The goblins went quiet for a moment, seemingly considering all options that they had. "Fine, fine, we will give you the gems back but you must leave our kin alone, understood?" Shimura nodded and took the gems away from them, and then he went back to give them back to the mage.
