Abandoned Kobold Mines
-With your considerable strength added to by Lynn, you crack down the wall-
-In the wall, you see a carved out space with a small pack of miners that look like dog-like men. The main difference is that they're wearing what look like gas-masks. Most of them are leaning against the wall, unconscious. One of the few who is awake waves dully at Oliver and Lynn-
We Are Our Avatars Forever (Now on Discord by invitation, PM)???: I could help carry you out. I'm pretty sure that's within my abilities.

-The Miner makes another wheezy breath-
Miner: Thank you...if you can take anyone out...take the ones on the ground first. They're not doing so well.
-He turns to look at Nova and the mutated creature that she is holding-
Miner: ...Well, in a manner of speaking. Some kind of...adventurers came through here to take something. Whatever they did filled the whole place with some kind of strange gas. Most of us hid. The rest...well...I don't know what they are, but they sure aren't kobold no more. Still our friends...if they even recognize us now.
We Are Our Avatars Forever (Now on Discord by invitation, PM)???: That's terrible! You've got to consider the consequences when you do stuff like this. I think.
(she picks up a couple of the miners off the ground)
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.???: According to the serial number I found... Well my original serial number was crossed off. But someone wrote "Monomi" beneath it. So I guess I'm going by that name.
Monomi: And I'm here to gather resources. I think that's a part of my overall function. But I have a sinking feeling I'm missing the bigger picture.

Miner: ...Y'know what? Sure, sure...we'll...try not to get caught up in adventure shenanigans...not that we can help it, but good life lesson.
-He looks at Nova a moment and thinks pretty heavily-
Miner: ...Get 'em some eye protection. We might as well explain to the owner what happened here...no clue what we're going to do with these guys like this, but...better than letting them roam around here.
We Are Our Avatars Forever (Now on Discord by invitation, PM)Monomi: I'm pretty sure my vision can withstand conditions that would damage human eyes.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.Monomi: Oh! That's what we were talking about! I see. I don't have anything like that in my inventory.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.AND SO...
After escorting the Goblin Princess to the mountains, she lets you all keep a single ruby that the magically inclined among you can tell is a crystallized vast quantity of magic. Not as monetarily valuable as the gold you were given earlier, but it's still pretty good if you need something to use in a pinch for research or in the thick of battle.
And thus, you were all given the freedom to leave as you please. She tells you that if some more work for you is required, you would all be contacted sooner rather than later. After all, the adventurers who caused you these troubles are still out there...
But anyways, you all get to going back to Terminus, because as short as your time here in the Goblin lands was, it still felt like a long time since you were back home.

"Cue taken."
-Lynn slings the wooden shield across her back and grabs a dark gray device. It expands into a hardlight shield, pointed at the end like the mundane one she has. She drives the sharp end into the wall and gets digging-
Timers to measure time, thermometers to measure thermomets, mometers to measure mom, and measuring containers to measure measurements.
