Gnarl blinked slightly at the figure, even as the rest of his little tribe of goblins cheered eagerly in their desire to party. It was... to put it mildly, rather odd. There simply weren't supposed to be any other Dungeons in the area. There were all kinds of things warning people away from the area.
As he realized the blonde, feral looking Keeper was responding, he shook himself from his thoughts and paid close attention. “Well, some clothes would be nice.”
That... was unexpected as Gnarl reached up, scratching at his head in confusion. “Clothes?”
“Yeah, well I've been stuck back there for who knows how long, almost completely alone and with nothing to wear but bed sheets.” Naruto grumbled slightly as he shot a venomous, red eyed glare over his shoulder, before looking back at the goblin. “Oh, is there another Keeper around here or something?”
“No, you're the only Keeper around here...” Gnarl paused slightly as he studied the boy in front of him, who, in all honesty, looked completely clueless. “You've been stuck on your own?”
“Eh? Well pretty much... There are the imps of course...” Naruto responded casually, shrugging a bit as he seemed to be absently glancing around, before Gnarl interrupted him before he could mention Horny.
“Boys?” Gnarl spoke up, before lifting his cane and pointing it towards the clueless looking Keeper. “Sic'em.”
“Wha...? HEY!” Naruto blinked slight as a crazed looking group of goblins immediately rushed towards him, violence in their eyes. “What's the big idea!”
“Nothing personal, you understand.” Gnarl said calmly as he carefully threw a small fire ball at the Keeper. “It's just, you have to die.”
“Like hell!” The Keeper growled slightly as he pulled his hands back, making a sudden hand sign as the goblins suddenly no longer had the numerical superiority they once did.
“Well, THAT's new.” Gnarl noted, blinking visibly as he watched the wave of identical, toga clad figures, who immediately began to do something he only rarely ever saw, a Keeper that actually knew how to fight. “Huh, this could be troublesome.”
“RASEGAN!”
Gnarl blinked slightly as he watched a goblin being launched backwards, idly recognizing the goblin, he shook his head. “Hmm... He killed Carnie.”
“That bastard!” Rose up from a particularly fat goblin who found himself in a similar fate as his friend a moment later.
Shaking his head, Gnarl sighed slightly, and threw a fire ball at a particularly distracted looking one of the Keeper's before blinking slightly as it vanished in a puff of smoke at the contact. “Yes, very new.”
“That stings you know!” Rose up in chorus as as one, the Keeper's mini horde of red eyes glared at the aged goblin.
“Right.” Gnarl pursed his lips lightly before sighing slightly, so far, things were still too up in the air as to whether he'd be sounding a retreat or not.
It was then, that Naruto decided to just throw a rather hairy monkey wrench into the works. “DAMMIT! This is getting annoying! HORNY! Get out here!”
THAT caught Gnarl's attention. So, the Keeper did have at least one minion? Turning his head, Gnarl immediately paled as he stared at the suddenly appearing figure. Then, slowly raised his aged head up to meet the baleful yellow eyes of a Horned Reaper.
“How many times do I have to tell you not to call me by that infernal... Oooh, GOBLINS!" The annoyance melted away into a look of sadistic glee as the Reaper smacked his scythe down onto the ground and its blade snapped into the ready position. "FINALLY! Something to k-k-k-kill!"
Screw monkey wrench, the Keeper had thrown in a whole clan of gremlins into the works.
