Joli brought her blade back around into the 'ready' stance as she balanced on the balls of her feet.  It was only then that she realized her balance was off slightly, why?  Oh, she was holding the scimitar in one hand.  She didn't even remember stopping to grab the everburning torch, but she was glad now that she had.  Apparently the goblins could see in the pitch darkness.  She must have instinctively picked up the torch before charging.  She felt the thin line of pain on her thigh and looked down.  Bringing the heatless torch down to inspect, she nodded, it was a shallow scratch, a flesh wound really.<br/><br/>She had blood on her, dark green goblin blood that looked black until she brought the torch close to inspect it.  She called out, quietly at first, but then a little louder so the other goblin could hear her.  "Ok it's safe, I think this is as far as I'm taking you."  She bent then to check the dead goblin at her feet for any coins or valuables.  Then cutting some rags from it's clothing she bound up the remaining arrows and bow together and looping it over her backpack unstrung.  She didn't use bows normally, but growing up around elves, you couldn't help but become skilled with one.  She supposed that it might be good to have incase she ever came into another situation like the one she'd just found herself in.   Then she'd go down to the stream and very carefully wash the wound on her thigh, and try to clean off the goblin blood on her hands and her clothing.<br/><br/>The moonsilk would dry very quickly, but where she washed it, it clung to her like a second skin.  The cold water caused her to get goose flesh and her nipples hardened.  She had trained for years to resist the effects of heat and cold, but that didn't mean that she didn't feel them.  She looked up to see if her guide had crawled across the bridge yet.  If so she'd bid him good bye and suggest that maybe he should tell his tribe how the adeventurers who killed his sapper team also killed this trio.... leaving her name out of the story.   Or if she was to be mentioned, make sure that she was only mentioned in a positive light.
