The girl stayed behind this time, likely spreading the story of what had occured among the villagers. The priest went along, trying to calm everyone and insure them that this was only a brief episode and normalcy would return as soon as the totem was recovered, which surely would only take a short while.
In the meantime Adan watched the cliffside hideout, after ending his philosophical musings. There seemed to be no sign of activity, no guard and no patrols. Alltough maybe the goblins were preparing an ambush for him inside? What did they want the totem for in the first place? Was this some kinda twisted trophy? One thing was certain, they needed to be wiped out, or at least punished harshly for their raid, else the so peaceful island soon would have a major problem, if the stories of goblins spreading fast proved to be true. But so far everything was eerily quiet, only the roar of the waves and a sea gull or two could be heard.
