Zalia looked up at Beelzenef, twitching her ears, as he spoke.

******

Arisa giggled slightly, as Clun picked up Shadow. Shadow merely grunted slightly.

Tyrcestus found it within himself to be a little cheeky.
"Admit it - do you WANT me to put my clothes back on?" he teased. Then he chuckled and winked at her.

Clun petted Shadow affectionately.
"He is good horse. Very tasty-looking. You is very friendly with horse?"

Hexy both blushed and scowled.
"D-don't think I n-need your approval..."
She shuffled her feet.
"...T-thank you..."

Zalia nodded her tiny fox head, and twitched her ears, as Beelzenef carried her into the mountain.

******

Shadow snorted disapprovingly in retort to Clun's statement about his 'tastiness'.
Arisa looked at Clun and nodded her head. "Shadow is like my big brother." She replied. "He looks out for me."

Ever the gentleman, Tyrcestus smiled.
"I think you're having too much fun out of being where you are," he smirked, and continued walking, making sure she was secure.
"I think you'll enjoy it more if I remain shirtless. Or am I wrong?"

Clun cuddled Shadow like a teddy, which looked hilarious considering Clun was shorter than Tyrcestus and Shadow was a fully sized horse.
"He is a very good horse. I can tell."
He continued carrying the equestrian as he followed Tyrcestus down the forest path, to where the forest was thinning out to reveal a tavern or pub at the roadside.
"Let me know when he wants putting down."

Hexy was admiring the sword Sean had.
"That is a very nice sword... makes your muscles look bigger."

Finally Beelzenef had walked through the mountain tunnels to where is room was. Other goblin residents were confused as to why their boss was holding a small fox and petting him like a lost kitten. Beelzenef carried Zalia in her fox form to his room and set her on his bed before saying "Me got business take care of, come back see Zalia later." before he took off, forgetting he had her bikini pieces in his pocket

******

Steve walked up to Arisa and Esperia before wrapping an arm around their shoulders and said "Would you ladies fancy grabbing a pint at the pub?"

After Beelzenef closed the door to his room, Zalia transformed back into her human form, and realized that Beelzenef still had her bikini. She took a deep breath, and decided to put something on. She looked into her suitcase, finding a short white, lace and silk dress. She grabbed some underwear, and got herself dressed, then sat on the bed, and waited for Beelzenef to return.

******

Arisa looked at Steve. "Well...I've never had a pint." She replied, then looked over at Clun and Shadow, and smiled. "But I am thirsty."

In the one of the upstairs rooms, he was tied to a chair, surrounded by three large brutes. His coat and weapons had been taken, leaving him only in his shirt, boots and trousers.
'So there I was, dressed only in a bed cloth, holdin' the captain's wive in my arms, with the man himself and his entire crew bearing down on me.'
The men were listening intently. 'So,' one of them asked, 'what did you do?'
'Well, I kicked the door shut, threw on my trousers, picked up my things an' jumped the crap out the window. Should have remembered we were about a mile from port.'
The mean burst out laughing.
'Yeah, yeah.' He moved his side to side. 'So, you were beating me up? Mind getting me some mead though?'
The men seemed to remember what they were here for.
'Sure.' Said one of them, and left the room, while the other two returned to working him over.

The door opened, and the party practically tumbled in.
The bartender raised his eyebrow at the sight of the motley crew.
"What'll you be having?" was all he said.

Vizard and Gizzard were sitting at Sarisrii's table before the front door had clicked shut.
"Well hello there..." Vizard leaned in, and smiled.
"Such an attractive lady shouldn't eat alone..." Gizzard grinned, and both he and his brother now had acquired beers from nowhere.
"So... what's your name? And your panty color?" Vizard inquired.

Tyrcestus sat down, aware of the fact he was naked aside from pants.
Some women at the bar were giving him flirtatious looks, so he looked down at the table.
The bartender threw a blanket on him, and he smiled gratefully.
"Thank you..."
"That'll be forty gold coins."
"OH COME ON!"

After he paid for that, the group naturally settled in. Hexy and Clun -who put Shadow down inside the bar, probably confusing the beast - went straight to the bar and ordered the strongest thing they had, the Super Perv Bros were making their move on the cold-looking hot chick in the corner, and Tyrcestus and Trinity were sat at the table together.
"So now we actually have some quiet..."
Tyrcestus leaned forward so they could speak quietly.
"What do you mean when you said you... like me?"

Steve watches as everyone goes into the pub. He spots a chick out front standing out front, and decides to go speak with her.
"Hey there, why are you hanging out here all alone?" Steve asked

*****

A mysterious man stood up from a nearby table inside the Ram's Horn and glanced around the pub before setting down. He reached out and grabbed the nearest bottle of whiskey and held it to his lips before drinking the entire bottle. He stopped a waitress and said "Hey.... baby.. wanna grab me another bottle of the goo stuff." before slapping her on the butt to make her dash off

He glanced around and saw a group of strange people enter the pub doors, and was about to dismiss their arrival like everyone else until he recongised a certain face. He stood up and said "Well i'll be, looks like you've found my loser of a daughter found other scumbags to take care of her..."

*****

After some time searching the goblin mountain, he found who he was looking for. The goblin elder Danzo was found in the war room of the barracks, but for some reason didn't cover up what he did. He was lead deep into the holding cages deep under the barracks to await trial. Beelzenef took some time before returning to his room, and found a surprise waiting for him. He grinned before closing the door behind him smirking

Arisa sighed, and looked away from her father. "Umm...can we talk about this outside?" She asked. She was somewhat glad that her father was alive; but she was disheartened to hear him call her a 'loser'.

"Wanna start from the beginning?" Steve asked as he looked at the girl and said "How about we start with names? My name is Steve by the way..."

*****

Trent grabs Arisa and begins shoving her outside. He leads her into an alleyway outside the pub before letting her go and said "So how did my weakling of a daughter end up here? I thought some hungry goblins would have eaten you and the pony by now."

Zalia woke up beside Beelzenef, her heart still racing.

*******

Arisa glared at her father. "How dare you say such things to your own flesh and blood?!" She shouted.

"Vizard. You can call me "Master," he winked, "if you're into that sort of thing."
"And I'm Gizzard, or as you'll probably end up saying, "Faster, faster!"
The two brothers high-fived.
"And what would your name be, you most..." Vizard paused, watching her eyes.
"...erm, interesting damsel?"

Tyrcestus reached across the table.
"Well..." he said shyly, taking her hand.
"I think I like you too."
He looked at her eyes again. Then he blushed.
"Never had a girl like me before... they mostly just pointed and laughed. Or laughed and pointed if they were feeling creative."

Clun decided to follow Arisa out, and waited out of sight, listening in on the conversation she was having with her father.
