That’ll help me understand what’s going on in your head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before I could dwell on it any longer, I heard footsteps approaching from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned to see Flogga making her way toward me, eyes wide with surprise as she looked over the squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chief...\" she said, voice full of awe. Her gaze swept over Dribb, Thok, Narg, Zonk, and Gobbo, one by one. \"How did you manage all of this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I shrugged lightly. \"Honestly? It was more them than me. They fought hard. Really hard. I just made sure they didn’t die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flogga nodded slowly, clearly impressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see,\" she said, a small smile forming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a brief pause as we both watched the newly evolved goblins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then my gaze drifted back to her, noticing something I hadn’t before as i used [Analyze]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see you’ve leveled up,\" I said, eyes narrowing slightly as I glanced at her profile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Flogga – Level 5 | Goblin Alchemist\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skills: [Potion Making], [Flame Orb], [Mana Shield], [Warcry], [Iron Fist], [Stealth], [Danger Sense], [Roar of Intimidation]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loyalty: 100%\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been Level 3 the last time I checked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now she was at 5.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did that happen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I seriously doubted she’d gone out hunting monsters while I was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though I had to admit—I wouldpayto see a goblin granny tossing fireballs and punching wolves in the face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flogga caught the hint of curiosity in my voice and responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" she said proudly. \"I’ve been using materials from the corpses you brought back. Bones, glands, monster blood—some of it’s still fresh enough. Managed to whip up a few things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I raised an eyebrow. \"Potions?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh...\" I breathed.That’s right—she’s an alchemist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I straightened up a little. \"Anything that could be useful?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flogga’s grin widened, revealing a row of slightly yellowed but very sharp teeth. She reached into the pouch at her waist and pulled out what looked like a small, dark purple ball. Strange, vein-like patterns ran across its surface, almost like worm trails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It honestly looked like something out of a fantasy game. Like a devil fruit—but nastier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She handed it over carefully, and I accepted it with both hands, immediately activating [Analyze].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Evil Ball]:A throwable alchemical item. Upon strong impact, it bursts into a thick gas cloud. The gas has a repulsive odor and causes severe irritation to the eyes and nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Effect: Obscures vision, induces coughing, and disorients nearby creatures for several seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wow...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thing could actually be really useful, especially against groups. If we ever got swarmed by goblins or monsters, a single toss could break their formation. Scatter them. Leave them coughing, blind, and open for clean takedowns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, if we didn’t use it wisely, we could just as easily end up choking on our own gas cloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there anything else?\" I asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flogga flashed another toothy grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I paused. It was strange—when I first met her, that grin had been unsettling. All sharp teeth and wrinkled green skin. Now? It felt... familiar. Comforting, in a weird way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This,\" she said, reaching into her pouch again and pulling out a small glass vial filled with thick, reddish liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She handed it to me, and I took it carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What does it do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It temporarily increases physical strength,\" Flogga explained, dusting her hands on her tunic like it was no big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I activated [Analyze].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Brawn Juice]:A crude strength-enhancing potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Effect: +3 Strength for 5 minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Note: Effects do not stack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would definitely come in handy. Sucked that the effects didn’t stack, though. If they had, I would’ve had the goblins mainlining this stuff like battlefield steroids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want to test it out?\" Flogga asked, tilting her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a second, the cautious part of me kicked in.Did I really want to drink something brewed in a cave by a old goblin who looked like an evil witch?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then again... Flogga hadn’t given me a reason not to trust her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was loyal, smart, and surprisingly methodical when it came to her craft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, if I expected the others to trust her potions in the heat of battle, I had to lead by example.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure,\" I said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I uncorked the vial and held it up to my nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smell hit me immediately—like burnt copper mixed with herbs and something vaguely... acidic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Appetizing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I glanced at Flogga.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was grinning again. Not maliciously—more like a kid waiting to see if their science project actually worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wouldn’t poison me. Right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stared at her for one more second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded encouragingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Screw it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I brought the vial to my lips and tipped it back in one swift motion, swallowing it in one gulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The taste was worse than the smell. Bitter. Metallic. And just a bit spicy in a way that made my tongue tingle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a few seconds, nothing happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it hit me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hadn’t wanted to taste it in the first place—not because I was scared, but becausebitterandmysterious goblin potiondidn’t exactly scream \"delicious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even that was an understatement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>OOMPH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment it hit my throat, I gagged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I slapped a hand over my mouth, fighting the urge to vomit. My eyes watered instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What...urrrgh\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell is this abomination?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like someone had dissolved burnt rubber in vinegar, added a pinch of metal shavings, and called it a drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My stomach twisted violently, and I doubled over slightly, hand bracing against my gut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you okay, Chief?\" Flogga asked, her tone innocent—maybe too innocent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I shot her a look, eyes narrowed into slits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What do you think, old witch?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I didn’t say that out loud.
