And in that moment, they had caught one of the forward scouting party.

The little goblin fellow was quite far from the rest of the group...that in fact put Nosdyn and the rest of the mercs at an advantage.

"Hold him down." Nosdyn said carefully and the mercs dd exactly that, curious to see Nosdyn work. An extended right hand from Nosdyn began to creep forward towards the defeated Goblin. Nosdyn removed his mask at that point and his panic aura became more potent at that point. As he concentrated, he created the psychic uplink between himself in that Goblin. "Show me your thoughts." Nosdyn said with a certain sadistic voice. His hand was hovering a half inch from The Goblin's face. As the uplink manifested one of the mercs became extremely uncomfortable.

"What's he doin...?" The merc asked.

"It's them daft psionic powers...I seen it before. Some Orlouge fella used it on a poor sap." He closed his eyes at that point, not wanting to see.

At that point, The Goblin shrieked in agony as Nosdyn entered the fellow's mind. Forcibly. "Things have changed now...Goblin. Your war has attracted other parties. Show. Me. Your. MIND." At that point the thoughts became very visible. In the cavernous reaches further North in the mountains, there were several hundred Goblins waiting. Gathering around a single Overlord mind. Nosdyn saw who their Overlord was. He had a name...he had numbers. The people of Stonevale, not that he cared, would be slaughtered if they did not take action.

Nosdyn went deeper into The Goblin's mind. He siphoned every pertinent thought he could as he discovered all he needed to know. The Captain would likely not have approved of this sort of interrogation, but Nosdyn knew that beggars could not be choosers. Nosdyn's hand began to shake at that point as he knew The Goblin would soon...expire. The Goblin began to bleed black blood from his nostrils. His face shaking under the weight of the psionic assault. And at that point, Nosdyn had everything he needed. He grabbed The Goblin's face and snapped it's neck. Nosdyn stood up at that point, the thoughts pouring in his mind as The Goblin died.

"There are hundreds of them." Nosdyn suddenly said.

One of the mercs looked at Nosdyn. "...Y-you were in his mind? How did you do that?"

"You would not understand." Nosdyn said carefully.

"It's like that Thayne damned Orlouge power. This shit is crazy man." The other merc said carefully.

Nosdyn's eyes narrowed at that point. "There's an Overlord." Nosdyn suddenly added. "We should head back and report this to The Captain..." Nosdyn considered. "But I leave that choice up to you." Nosdyn looked at Sketch at that point. Nosdyn had a very grim expression on his face. He'd seen what The Goblins are planning...they were outnumbered two to one.
