[ Point of view change]
Guild Girl watched as the party left on their Goblin hunt she had seen so many parties just like theirs, it hurt her knowing the fate that awaited them if they failed.
She watched as the two other women that had signed themselves as adventurers decided to follow the small party, in all honesty, it didn't matter, new adventurers could use as much help as they could get.
The only real problem they would face if they managed to come back, would be the fact that their quest didn't pay a lot so some of them would end up not getting paid at all.
Guild Girl watched the entrance to the guild and as the sun moved she knew the party had failed, thankfully Goblin layer had come back from his last mission and she told him about the group.
It was unorthodox for her to tell him about another adventurer or in this case an entire party's quest, but she hoped Goblin Slayer could at least save one of them.

Priestess couldn't believe what she was seeing, Goblin Slayer and her had come to help a party that had failed in their quest but when they arrived at the cave, they found every goblin inside it dead.
The inside of the cave didn't look like a cave at all, instead, it looked as if someone had fought a war inside it.
Some areas were flooded with water and the corpse of goblins floated in those areas, other areas were completely frozen, some were sealed off with walls made of ice.
In some parts of the caves, they found the corpses of goblins that had suffocated, while others looked as if something had eaten them.
Some had been killed by a knife, while others looked as if they had been beaten to death.
Yet it was here that priestess felt her heart stop, someone had used a powerful spell and completely obliterated an entire area of the forest killing anything both underground and on the surface.
Yet it was in the room that held all of the goblin infants that Priestess found herself unable to accept the sight before her.
Someone had used the skill of justice and killed all of the goblin infants meaning that even when they were still young the children weren't innocent.
"Thye took the bodies' Goblin Slayer said as he looked around
Priestess didn't say anything she just looked around and didn't understand what Goblin Slayer meant.
"There arent any human bones," Goblin Slayer said as he picked up the bone of a long since decomposed goblin.
Priestess dint say anything, she didn't know how to tell the difference between bones, but goblins aren't that big and all of the bones around her looked as if they were the same size.
Priestess felt her eyes widen with terror, that could only mean a Necromancer was nearby.
"We have to tell the guild," Priestess said to Goblin Slayer but her partner didn't say anything he just kept looking at their surroundings.
"Not yet, they didn't die here," Goblin Slayer said to her as before he started walking out of the now partially destroyed cave
'How can they be alive, they're a group of beginners?" Priestess asked her partner
"...Who says this is their first mission, people only join a guild to be official adventurers. There's nothing stopping anyone from adventuring because they want to." Goblin Slayer said to her
"We couldn't find them," Priestess said to the receptionist when they returned to the guild, but Guild Girl just happily said that the party had already returned and gone home after getting paid.
"Whats going on?" priestess asked herself as she was going for the night
