บท 45: Loose End

Looking over the battle where Ralph and Crim had just gone to work, Clark discovered a lot. He saw that the earth hamster had been crushed by a harsh force against a tree before it had a single chance to really fight the goblins. Ralph had listened closely.

Crim had easily dispatched the goblins left behind and then finished off the red bobcats with the help of Ralph's boar. Since Ralph had gotten his butt kicked by Clark, he had maintained his focus. This let him escape the attacks from the lackeys until his boar and Crim came to team up against them. Not that the goblins hadn't done their damage first.

"All that seems to be left is our classmate. He ran off in fear between everything. The others didn't seem to survive." Ralph was constantly flexing his fists now that Crim had started to leave him alone. Clark could tell it was a nervous habit.
