The Unexplored Wooded Area, En Route to the Onsen, Early Monday Morning

[wrongkindofsith]

Cara had a plan. A brilliant plan. A plan that involved uninterrupted soaking in very hot water for an indecently long stretch of time. Cara quite liked her plan. Especially since taking a short-cut through the woods would mean she'd get to the Onsen to put her plan into action all the sooner.

Sadly, Cara was as yet unaware that she was not the only person in Fandom with a plan.

[For the gobliny ones.]

Several of the goblins that had gone flying earlier had gotten back to their feet and started throwing large rocks Cara's way. Two enterprising goblins even threw one of their smaller brethren at Cara's head so he could try and gouge at her eyes.

They were nasty little goblins, that was certain.

The sheer weight of goblins was making it hard for Cara to move her limbs, but she managed to get that little bastard going for her eyes off with a particularly vicious snap of teeth and shake of her head.

By now, it should have been painfully obvious to that she wasn't planning on giving up any time soon. Not while she was still conscious, at least.

The goblins were beginning to see that and they were seriously wondering why everyone had to fight. Jareth's castle was amazing! She'd have fun but noooo, she just had to be violent.

The goblins weren't going to give up either and they continued hurling rocks, some big and some not at her head. They punched at her body and some of them dropped off her so they could get a running start and hurl themselves at her again to try and knock her off balance.

Cara could just imagine the kind of fun to be had in the hands of someone who sent a mob of goblins out to capture people, why do you think she was fighting so hard?

She wasn't going to stop just because between the rocks and the tackling she was now horizontal instead of vertical.

The goblins would say this was just tough love. And they would say they were succeeding too since they'd gotten her off her feet which meant they could pounce on her and jump on her and try and get some rope around her legs to keep her down.

The rocks kept coming but the goblins had added dirt to throw into her eyes and sticks to poke at her all the while they talked excitedly in between yowls of pain.

Cara would have been quite prepared to show them the error of their ways if they though her merely being on the ground meant they were winning, if not for the sizable rock that clipped her temple.

For definitions of clipped that involved quite solid hits.

At least she didn't have very far to fall as everything faded into blackness.

With the girl finally quiet, the goblins went about tying her completely up so they could slowly drag her to the castle.

Later, they were so going to make her eat beets since she'd refused their offer. They would have their revenge!
