Perhaps I should return to their lair and\u2014 I broke off the thought. Now was not the time to fall prey to overconfidence. The dire wolves had a way out of the dungeon, and the least I should do before throwing myself in danger again was to investigate what lay beyond.<\/p>\n

I rose to my feet and turned to the waiting wolves. \u201cLet\u2019s go.\u201d ~ ~ ~ We did not leave the cavern immediately, of course. There were still fifty-odd goblin corpses in the hall that I had yet to loot them. But with Aira and Oursk impatient to get going, I limited my search of the dead to their coin pouches.<\/p>\n

Besides, I didn\u2019t have nearly enough space in my backpack to carry much else. You have acquired 4 gold and 240 copper coins. Total money carried: 7 gold, 7 silvers, and 3 coppers. It was only the goblin leader\u2019s corpse that I took the time to inspect more fully. He had carried the bulk of the money I had found: four golds, and it led me to anticipate finding other stuff of value on him.<\/p>\n

But unfortunately, other than his spiked hide armor and greatclub, the chief carried nothing else of worth. With lots of cursing and tugging, I managed to remove the goliath\u2019s helm. Holding it in my hand, I considered its game data. This is a rank 1 spiked hide armor helm. This item decreases the damage you sustain by: 20%.<\/p>\n

This item requires a minimum Constitution of 4 to equip. My brows drew down. The helm\u2019s properties were different from other items I had encountered. It had a rank of its own, and a prerequisite to equip. Thoughtfully, I turned my attention to the greatclub. This is a rank 2 greatclub, +1. This item increases the damage you deal by: 40% and has been enchanted to increase the wielder\u2019s two- handed club skill by +1 rank (10 skill points).<\/p>\n

This item requires a minimum Strength of 8 to wield. My frowned deepened. Like the helm, the chief\u2019s weapon also had a rank and prerequisite to use. \u201cWhat\u2019s troubling you now?\u201d I looked up. Gnat was back. \u201cHmm?\u201d I murmured absently. \u201cYou\u2019re scrunching up your face again,\u201d he said. \u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n
