I finished reading the first light novel (book form) and as I promised, I'll post some spoilers. I liked the book but it is not one of the best I've read.

Spoiler for big spoilers:

Female Priest - Saved by the Goblin Slayer in the first part of the book. Joins his party. At the end, as a reward for helping with the extermination at the ranch, she asks him to remove his helmet, which he does. Causes a big racket at the guild as mostly no-one has seen him before (except the cow girl). He is very handsome by their reaction.

Cow Girl - Went to the ranch at a young age. She details how she got into a fight with her childhood friend before she left. Later this friend turns out to be the Goblin Slayer. Seems he was jealous that she was able to leave the village while he was stuck there. While she was away, the village was attacked and everyone was killed except the young Globlin Slayer who hid. This is way he is so fixated in killing goblins.

Female High Elf - Invites him and the female priest along with her own party (a dwarf shaman and lizardman priest) to exterminate goblins. She at first details the whole plans to subdue an evil god but he isn't interested until goblins are mentioned. The team becomes friendly along the way. At the subjugation, there turns out to be an Ogre that is hard to kill and the Goblin Slayer is forced to use a precious magic scroll to take him out. The female elf seems annoyed that the Goblin Slayer seems only in it to kill goblins and not for the adventure. But on the other hand she grows to like him.

Guild Girl - Likes the Goblin Slayer. Has been there since he broke in as an adventurer and likes how he takes on the jobs no one likes to do. There was one sentence out of the blue where she states she was saved by the goblin slayer before but maybe I misinterpreted it. The Spear user likes her which causes some animosity between him and the Goblin Slayer.

The last thing that happens is that the ranch, where the Goblin Slayer lives with the cow girl and her uncle is going to come under attack from over 100 goblins and a goblin lord. The cow girl won't leave because the same thing is occurring that happened in the past. And she wants the Globlin Slayer to have a place to come home to. The Goblin Slayer knows he can't take on all these goblins alone and goes to the guild and humbles himself to the guild members, pleading them for assistance. At first they are reluctant but the guy who uses spears who always seems antagonistic to him agrees and others follow. The Guild Girl gets the Guild to pay 1 gold coin for every goblin killed that helps matters. At the end of the battle, the Goblin Slayer kills the goblin lord with the help of the priestess.

I bought the second book and will read it shortly.
