Slayer Goblin [COMPLETED]

The massive Ruby ranked warrior sits in the dimmest corner of the Adventurer's Guild. He observes the comings and goings of the regulars silently, watching from beneath the cowl of his hood. Thanks to the legendary Goblin Slayer, nobody in the Guild thinks it is strange for someone to permanently hide their face. Unlike that famous Silver rank, however, this warrior has a dark secret hiding beneath his thick cloak and heavy plate armour.

He does not stay in any one town for too long, moving on before anyone can become suspicious over the disappearances of his travelling companions. Before anybody can spot the pattern.

He has already accepted his next assignment from the Guild Girl. He knows there will be no other adventurers in the area. Nobody but him and his next choice. The location of the job is many weeks travel, deep into the frontier lands. It will give him plenty of time to win her trust. He has been watching her for a long time. He has already studied her interactions with others in the Guild. He knows how eager she is to be an adventurer, a hero. All he must do now is wait for her to approach him.
