As the group went searching for Todd just outside of Greenhorne, it actually didn't take very long to find him. On one hand, he was just on the edge of town! ...On the minus side, he has gotten himself trapped by a group of goblins.
"Ahem. ...Excuse me, but... Would you all mind getting out of my way?" Todd asked, extremely politely. The goblins, however, didn't seen to be listening. "I said, would you all mind getting out of my way? ...No, no. This isn't working. There must be something else..."
As Todd paused for thought, however, the group caught up to Todd. "Look!" Sachio pointed to him. "There he is! And... Hey, is he trapped?"
Yardi had already taken his knife, ready to charge into battle. "If he's in trouble, we've gotta save him!"
Susumu and Sachio quickly took their place together, but Vinny took his time in preparing to fight. Yardi was starting to get annoyed by this. "Come on, hurry it up!"
"...Okay. Let's do this." Finally, Vinny had arrived, and the battle could begin. Yardi, of course, was the first to attack, hitting all of the goblins with a single slash of his knife.
Susumu launched a fireball at the goblins, but Sachio had something else in mind. "Alright, you guys, watch this one!" He twirled his wand around a bit before pointing it to the sky. A lightning bolt came down from the sky, hitting all three of the goblins at once.
It was then time for Vinny to make his move. He yawned slightly, and seemed to be doing something with his frying pan. "What are you-" Susumu was about to ask, until she saw that his frying pan suddenly turned red hot. He ran up and swung the pan at one of the goblins, taking it down with no trouble at all.
With two goblins left, Yardi swung his knife again, doing a decent amount of damage. One of the goblins rushed to attack Vinny, until... To everyone's surprise, Vinny held up his frying pan in front of his face, blocking the hit completely. Susumu launched another fireball at the group, taking down another goblin.
"Yardi! Let's finish this together!" Susumu exclaimed.
Yardi was a bit surprised by this. Susumu... Wanted his help? "O-Okay!" He answered. The two attacked the last goblin together, finishing it off.
"Hey! Todd!" Susumu called to Todd. "Are you okay? You're not hurt, are you?"
"...No. I'm not hurt," Todd responded. "And yes, I am Todd. As you can tell, I strongly dislike fighting. Talking things out is much easier anyway. I came here looking for Louis, but... I can't seem to find him anywhere."
"Hey, you mean Louie?" Sachio asked. "He's waiting for you in Greenhorne Castle! He's... Gotten himself into an interesting situation though."
"Is that so? I see," Todd replied. "Thank you for helping me, and for finding Louis. He... He tends to get himself into trouble often. I suppose we'd better go to him..."
And so the group made their way back to Greenhorne Castle. When they arrived, however...
