> Follow the noise.
You chase the noise, eventually illuminating the end of the cavern. It's a fairly open space, with ragged fabrics adorning the walls and floor. You see four scrawny goblins, and a slightly larger, red creature with craggy skin, red horns, and no eyes standing upon six caterpillar like legs. They're all standing over a wooden chest bound with chains. It appears to be somehow moving on it's own, and you hear a mature, female voice emanating from inside.
"Get me out of here you brutes! You will NOT keep me from my charge!"
>Try to talk to them, if they will listen.
You try to talk down the goblins, but are cut off by a loud rumbling noise and the crag beast charging you! The Mimic Princess steps back a few feet, her dopey smile replaced by a confused frown.
Dead for the foreseeable future. Towergirls will return when I do.
see you, space cowboy.
>I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS! Slice one of the goblins in the most painful way we know and leave them to die as you move onto the others. The crag has to wait.

You manage to side-step the crag beast, and aim a strike at the nearest goblin in the most painful way you know: Vertically! With your feline anger and MANLY PHYSIQUE you slice the goblin straight down the middle. You hear a loud slamming noise behind you, and the three remaining goblins charge at you now. How do you react?

>Slice, slice, SLICE! CUT THEM ALL INTO RIBBONS!!!

>Slice, slice, SLICE! CUT THEM ALL INTO RIBBONS!!!
You start hacking away as the goblins charge at you. After a few carefully placed slices, the remaining two goblins lie dead at your feet. Looking behind you, the crag beast has been shattered, Armor Princess' lightly steaming fist just above it. Mimic Princess' dopey smile has returned, and for once, she isn't drooling! PROGRESS!

>Search the corpses. Then, try to eat them.
The goblins have nothing of note on them, aside from loincloths and rusted daggers. You take a piece of diced goblin and place it into your mouth. You spit it out instantly, and surprise everyone by not vomiting from the taste.
>Then look, for the female voice.
Voice appears to be coming from the chest.
> Use the key if needed.
The chest lacks anything to use a key on, it's merely wrapped in chains.
>Open the chest.
You bust open the chest, and almost as soon as you do, a large shield flies up and hangs in the air. It turns rapidly, almost as if it was looking around with the large eye engraved on the front of the shield.
"WHERE IS SHE? I WILL MAKE YOU RUFFIANS PAY FOR INTERRUPTING MY SEARCH FO- Oh, you're not goblins..."

*Sigh* "'She' is my charge, The Sword Princess. I am the Shieldmaiden, her personal guardian and caretaker. The Sword Princess is the monarch of the Crystalline Battalion Kingdom, a land inhabited by spirits such as I who were not content with being bodyless specters, and have possessed weapons, armors, and other objects in order to interact with the physical world."

"A pleasure. Could you please escort me from this cave and back to civilization, Ser Knight? I was ambushed while frantically searching for my princess, and I've no idea how long I was locked up in that infernal box. They had the gall to store me alongside unrefined metal! The scrawny mongrels probably didn't even know how to forge let alone refine iron!"

>Morally ambiguous. You sure about that?
>Agree.
"Thank you, I hope I can get along with your band, even if that band does include the Incubus General. Don't think I do not see you scurrying back there."
You turn to see Incubus' back. Apparently he was trying to avoid a conversation.
"Haha, Shieldmaiden, so nice to see you again! We're in the middle of a quest and I'm sure your rescuer would rather be on his way than listen to us bick-"
"You think I'm just going to forget about the time you tried using magic to bed my charge?
"Now look, it's what we Incubi do, and besides, it's all in the pa-"
"Let us go, Ser Timothy. I suddenly feel a murderous rage coming on, and would like to get going before I am forced to act on it."
Before you can give a proper reply, Shieldmaiden begins floating towards the entrance of the cave.

"A sword, and quite easily. Turns out that when her kind is victorious in battle, their spirits become solid, and when she's more than just a sharp piece of metal and a gauntlet, she's curvy in all the right places~"
> Onwards! Let's dig for some ores!
You search for ores, and come across a few large nuggets in the chest where you found the Shieldmaiden! Metal Ore has been added to your inventory.
