Gurmok's astonishment at the sudden turn of events doesn't last. Being threatened by a multi-legged, hungry-mouthed horror will do wonders' to one's reflexes, his brain idly reflects while his body jumps into action. With amazing alacrity, he mounts Zen, who was just behind him, busy trying to grab and eat some crawling insect in the street.
Once on top of his loyal friend, he considers his situation. Having expected just a day of shopping, he has no armor, and no weapon in hand. This big guardsman here, he looks quite able. Logically, it would be a good idea to keep him alive as long as possible. In his own language, the goblin begins to chant a plea for Irori's help.
"Devant ce monstre aberrant
Se trouve un commode garde
Mais Irori le défend
Pour qu'il me sauvegarde!"
