Chapter 16

Leaving the last of the forest behind, we marched back onto the bright sunlit plains. Helping stumbling wounded, as well as hauling the dead with us, made for slow progress. I had our soldiers drop the dead mercenaries at the edge of the forest, we could organize a burial detail later, and I didn’t want to have to drag them hundreds of yards across the field. Many of the wounded mercenaries cried when they saw the caravan again. They stumbled toward the perceived safety and security of the wagons.

Bhurke stopped at the forest edge, staring with his mouth agape at the carnage of the battlefield. There were piles of dead goblins at intervals where the javelin volleys had hit. An even larger pile showed where the shield wall held back the green tide and our men slaughtered the wretched goblins in droves. Over 200 goblin corpses were in the field, and carrion birds had begun to feast in growing numbers.

“You soldiers did all this? How?” Burke said, speaking for the first time since we had rescued him.

“That is what happens when undisciplined warriors attack soldiers of the Imperium. Vae Victis, woe to the defeated” I said as I walked back to the circle of wagons.

Daegan and Sergeant Brooks met me back at the wagons. I gave a report to both, letting them know what happened in the forest and that goblins shouldn’t be a problem for Daegan’s caravans for a long while. I then detailed off two squads, as well as Liam and his men, to bury the dead. I was already missing having an unwounded sergeant to help delegate all the little things required after a battle. Curious about injuries, and out of combat regeneration, I searched the help file.

Players will regenerate health at a rate of 1hp/minute after being out of combat for more than 10 seconds. NPC’s and non-instanced mobs regenerate at a slower pace of 1hp/10 minutes. A character’s constitution, class, and level will also influence the rate of regeneration. Severed limbs and lost organs (such as eyes) will need special healing if the wounded person is an NPC. Players will regenerate from any type of injury, regardless of severity.

One of the settlers had some skill with carving and made a small plaque that was mounted over the mass grave listing the date and the names of the fallen. As I had ordered in the forest, the goblins could lie where they fell. Feeding the carrion birds was a good fate for them. It was then that I noticed standing next to Daegan was a young boy of about eight, his eyes were red with tears and he made a pitiful sob occasionally. Noticing my look, Daegan explained.

“This is Edwin. The poor lad, both his parents were the ones that were killed in the fight earlier. They died saving the little guy from some goblins that had wormed their way through the barricade. Not quite sure what to do with him yet, though.”

Looking at the boy in tears I felt a memory reform in my slowly repairing mind.
