[Vlamidjan]

Howl was a bit disappointed that he didn't have duty at the hog farm. He liked working around animals after all. Shadowslinker's adventure sounded interesting but Howl didn't want to waste his time or put his life in danger on a suicide mission such as that one. So Howl headed towards the mushroom grove and started gathering mushrooms. He wanted to finish his duty as fast as possible and then spend some time training the hogs. He would also try to sneak a mushroom or two if nobody was looking at him. He didn't want them for himself but rather as treat for the hog he was training. He hoped that this would improve their relationship and make the training easier. As soon as he finished with his mushroom gathering quota he would head towards the hog farm and look for Snux. "Hey Snux. Need help with anything? I want to train hog" he said hoping that Snux would grant him permission.

[Thelonius]

Kurd, Wolfslayer

Hall of the Chief

Chief Soxkill seems to sense Kurd’s hesitation about the weapon. ''Do you find your cleaver to be superior to my gift?'' he asks with soft concern. The gathered lackeys and sycophants grow growl in support, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly growing charged with emotion.

Soxkill’s elites are the ones, who speak loudly. ''Certainly, that’s impossible, that you would prefer cleaver!'' announced Rimbles. ''Our generous Chief gives us the best weapons to slay the foes of the tribe.'' The elites put their hands on weapons, displaying them proudly. Peeks adds his voice ''Yes, Kurd. You should cast aside that old thing - it was good enough to slay dirty mutts, but against the powerful foes, such as Hobgoblins, truly powerful weapons are needed.'' The voices of other goblins present in the hall raise, all urging Kurd to discard the Cleaver in favor of Soxkill’s sword. Some mutter about Nezz’es stupid magic probably ruining the weapon anyway, though those who say it, try to avoid notice.

Kurd [PM]

Spoiler

Show

The Sword is Level 4, so it’s better then Cleaver, but Cleaver has Nezz’es unknown enchantment.

Kurd makes [Wolf Helmet 1].

Grunak

Shadowslinker

The goblin adventurer looks at Grunak, his eyes lingering on the sword for a bit, but then he shakes his head. ''You are that crazy outcast? If you don’t care, if you die, then you won’t care if you get me killed either. I don’t need fearless goblins for this job.''

Grob

Grob completes the work the Scribbler given him fairly easily. Scribbler seems impressed. ''If you find any vellum or paper on your journey with Shadowlinker, I would would appreciate it. Perhaps, I could see, that you get the Duty of your choice in the future.''

Scribbler brings Grob [Wolf Cloak 3]. It’s very warm and would serve him well in cold.

Skiike

Skiike [PM]

Spoiler

Show

OOC: The duty is actually 2 Actions.

The talk seems to be centered about whoever the other Heroes and Elites would back, if conflict erupts - Hob, Fingers, Shadowslinker and Rhid. It seems Soxkill doesn’t fully trust Kranch either. Still, most goblins seem to think Nezz wouldn’t make a move. She is simply pressing for more authority and power. Once her ‘’Scourge’’ is discredited, she’ll slink back to the temple.

Skiike observes Kranch, during Kurd’s situation. The Raid Leader seems to be passive, almost sleepy, but it seems to Skiike, that he is paying careful attention, to everything, that is happening.

Whistler

Whistler [PM]

Spoiler

Show

[Fur Clothes 2] seems to be enough to deal with the cold, though this winter is fairly mild. Whistler won’t have penalties, when acting outside.

Howl

Mushrooms

Howl expertly sneaks several mushrooms away. The theft of food is always an option - only vigilance of other goblins on duty is a true deterrent. And vigilant, they usually are - after all, if Hob thinks goblins shirked their duty, then the whole group gets a severe punishment. This time round, Howl’s actions go unnoticed and no complaint comes from the kitchens. It seems he’s gotten away with it.

Howl gains [1 Mushrooms].

Snux

''Thur, pick Bethy. Hey Xhor - geth the pigthy tho Howl.''

A clarification - do you want to get a single pigskin to make something, or do you want to help Snux, establish production of pigskins?

If it's the latter, then you'll need to convince him, as he is currently in favor of establishing Warhogs training and he won't have enough manpower to do both Warhog training and pigskin harvest, unless Hogfarm is expanded.

"I said you don't care if I did, not I don't care." Grunak grins lopsidedly. "They say I'm crazy, not stupid, right?"

Jalax

Snux, The Hog-Goblin

”I would like to help no matter what you chose, but if you had some pigskin lying around, I would be interested in finding out, what someone could make with it.” Jalax said, hoping he might get some pigskin, that he might use to find a way to make it into clothing or perhaps even armor.

Spoiler: OOC

Jalax wants some pigskins now, that he then would try to make it some clothing. He would like to get enough to also make something for his followers, but he would be happy with anything he could get.

Grunak

Shadowslinker ponders Grunak's reply for a moment, then shrugs. ''Well, we'll see if you are both crazy and stupid. You'll go with me on the boat. Your job would be to kill stuff, I order you to kill. I've got a guide of sorts - you'll be keeping an eye of her. But she's tricky.''

Skiike will continue to listen to see what elites would follow Hob, since that's probably what Hob is wanting from him.

He will also keep an eye on Kurd's weapon choices. Skiike will keep an eye out to pick up which ever weapon he chooses to discard, no reason to let it go to waste.

Skiike will spend another action looking for a hidden place to store things away from other goblin's eyes.

Kurd, the Wolfsayer

Hall of the Chief
Kurd just looks at the Chief and elites blankly. "Why I toss out good weapon. Sword better obviously, but Cleaver still good. Nows I gots two. I hit dem with sword, then I whack them with de cleaver. Or maybe I chop em with the cleaver and den slice em with de sword. Like dis." Kurd takes the sword and cleaver in one hand each and proceeds to swing them around a bit wildly. A skilled sword fighter he is not. That just makes his display all the more dangerous.

"Now I kill twice as fast. De Hob Goblins never last. Maybe even an Ogre. Dat be something." Kurd's voice is a bit gleeful as he considers the prospect of fighting an Ogre.

Spoiler: OOC

I am working under the assumption that the sword is a one hander. If it's too big for Kurd to use in one hand, then obviously I want to retcon the above and take a different approach.

[Thelonius]

Sternturm

Lake

The small fleet sails across the lake - two boats and two rafts, carrying six goblins. Grunak shivers a bit, from lack of warm clothing, but endures with clenched teeth. The goblins on the raft almost overturn - the thing is poorly cobbled together, but lack of wind means, sailing is safe, if slow.

The lake proves to be far larger, than goblins in the tribe imagined - it extends to south and west. Shadowslinker orders goblins to row west, past shores, where gnarled, old trees grow. There, an island with a tower stands.

The goblins leave their watercraft, tired, but happy to arrive safely. Shadowslinker speaks.

''Now, I’ll be going up the tower. You have three tasks. First. If I don’t come back, you’ll take this cage’’ he shakes the cage with Sarudis.''And drop it in the center of the Lake.'' He lowers his head to face the small creature directly. ''A little precaution, in case information you gave me is load of pig****.''

Shadowslinker puts the cage into the boat. ''I leave it with you. Needless to say, if you are dumb enough to let it out, I’d be very unhappy. Though it'll probably kill you first. Nasty little bugger.''

''Second, you’ll need to go to Docks - there’s another boat there. I don’t know, how it’s not all rot, magic probably. Get it.''

''Third task - you break two rafts and make two fires near the Tower, as soon as I go up. I advise you against staying near them, once the fire starts’’ Shadowslinker picks a bag from the boat, and hoists it on his shoulder. ''Now, while I’m there, you can explore the Tower. You can keep half of what you find. I’ll take the rest as payment for bringing you here and explaining things. Somebody dies, their share is divided between survivors.''

Landing Site

Sarudis seems to be humming a tune in the cage. Two boats - Shadowslinker’s and Grobs rock on the water.

''I have some advise, if you are willing to listen'' she says, once Shadowslinker leaves. ''I've advised the great Wizards, who lived here, so I know all about this place. Shadowslinker trusted me enough to listen. I lie to you, I go down the lake - and that's not something I want.''

Pillars

A series of Pillars stands in the distance, surrounded by what appears to be an overgrown, abandoned park.

''Nothing useful there'' says Shadowslinker.

Tower, Yard

The area around the tower has houses, that seem to have failed to survive the passage of time as well, as Tower did. Old ruins, a stone road almost lost to grass and almost faded scars of war.

''Servants probably lived here.'' comments Shadowslinker. ''Just… don’t stay too long in the open and keep and eye on the skies, if you wish to look around here.''

Tower, Dock

A small dock, with broken wreck of a ship stands at the island shore. Several buildings surround it. A large figure, glistening in the sun walks through the place. It looks humanoid - a large man wearing metal armor? But it’s movements seem stiff and unnatural.

''There are a couple boats in those buildings. One of them is some sort of office and others are warehouses. That’s metal man. It’s very strong and well-armored. Well, maybe Grunak’s sword can break through the armor. If this creature is slain, it could be harvested and docks free to plunder. Or he can be avoided. It wasn’t very perceptive before and I blinded it further with a… well, a combination of stinky substances. It always moves in the same pattern, never rests or sleeps, - and it seems to know, when somebody is poking their nose in the crates in the warehouse. Fortunately, it’s not very fast.''

Tower, Atrium

Inside the tower is courtyard, bathed in light. The tower goes up and at the very top a glass dome lets the sun in. It seems there’s a collection of globes and strange mechanisms on the very top of the tower, that shine in the sun and sometimes move. And was it some shadow moving there?

Unlike the yard and docks, the place looks pristine and completely unaffected by the passage of time. There are rows of locked doors in the walls of the tower, plaques and objects of art. The floor is a cool, marble, with multi-colored plates forming pattern of some symbol. A statue of human, wearing robes, staff and book, stands in the middle of the atrium.

Then suddenly a female human in white robe appears before goblins, startling them and making several go for their weapons. ''Greetings visitors. I am Mara The Guide to Sternturm. The J-j-j-jewel of tsh-tsh Kingdom. We lead the research into...into... ar.. tsh.. knowledge. How may I assist-t-t-t you t-t-t-day.'' she smiles brightly.

''Pay it no attention. Just a magic trick. She’s not really here.'' says Shadowslinker. ''Some of the doors are locked with some magic script and others lead to danger. If you figure out how to open them and which ones are safe to enter, there’s probably something valuable there. The place is pretty safe - don’t let the shadows above spook you. They don’t come down here.''

Tower, Basement

Brass Door stands half opened. On it, in metal is a depiction of fire pits, creatures with leathery wings and sharp teeth. Scary.

''If you are suicidal, feel free to go there.'' comments Shadowslinker.

Tower, 1st Floor

The archway leads to the tower interior - on it, sun, stars and humanoid creatures with wings are depicted. On the walls, the surviving murals seem to have elemental theme - fire, water, earth and air.

''That’s where I’m going. I don’t need company - stealth is of importance and you’ll just be making noise.''

Narz & Marsia

''How about a deal - we make the fires, but you'll share in what you find with us'' offers Narz.

''To favor some trash over blessing of the Zon-Kuthon - Kurd is a fool. He may had luck in surviving so far, but luck tends to run out.'' Kurd’s followers walk carefully the halls of the Sunken Keep - accidents tend to happen on the dark, winter nights...

Snux, The Hog-Goblin
” You just have to say when you are going to start the project, and I am going to be there.” Jalax said, before leaving to handle some other business.

The lower west hall
Jalax had remembered that even though most of the goblins in the hall had not been very interested in his rules, a few of them had been. Jalax had decided to try to remember who these goblins were and to see if he could convince some of those goblins to help him with making the tribe better.

Jalax helps out Snux setting up Warhog enclosure. He focuses on helping the goblins make primitive saddles, while Snux ''whispers'' to hogs, before letting goblins try to ride them.

He seems pleased with Jalax'es help.

Halls

The fact that Jalax'es rules were actually implemented seems to impress three common goblins - Resa, Tan and Zembax. They come to listen to Jalax once again, but seem to have questions for him:

''It's useless to do stuff for the tribe. Elites don't care - we work harder, they take more from us'' whispers Resa.
''Yeah. And what can we do anyway?'' nods Zembax.
''It's dangerous to talk about changes - snitches are all around, they tell Elites, we get beating.'' says Tan fearfully.

Hall Monitoring
Kurd examines the improvements that have been made to the Upper East hall in his absence. If they have improved then he goes around and convinces the other uncommon goblins to do them as well. He then finds Koba and Brutalis to have a talk about how things are going to go.

Nezz
Kurd finds Nezz. She still terrifies him, but he can't have her followers be messing with his followers. Only Kurd is allowed to mess with Kurd's followers. "Nezz I hear de scourgy gobs be saying I's not lucky, and dat me and my gobs better watch out. Whys dat."

4. Implement Jalax's rules in the halls where Kurd and Jalax live. Kurd doesn't want to make a big deal of it, but he will argue with Koba and Brutalis if they try to stop him.

Is that fact that Kurd is better off using one because they are too heavy to really use together or because he's not skilled at two handed fighting? Because now that I've thought about the image of a berserking goblin charging an enemy while waving two blades and screaming kind of appeals to me.

[HerbieRAI]

Skiike

Thinking to himself Skiike starts to put together another idea of what Hob wants. He wants to get these elites workin again. That can be done by threats or treats, and since Skiike didn't have treats he would have to start finding somethin to threat with. And if he finds some treats then Skiike gets some nice treats.

''Oh Kurrrd'' Nezz manages to sound both menacing and sympathetic. ''Our Chief Soxkill prefers tricks and misdirection to speaking plainly. His flunkies are spreading all those lies and confusing everybody. He is just jealous of your accomplishments - he and his Elites didn’t slay Chomper. You did. So he tries to turn me against you. But I know that you are on my side. So we just need to make it clear to the tribe, that we are not enemies. It is long time, that our tribe raided and brought riches to our coffers. The Scourge shall march as soon as Zon-Kuthon reveal to me his holy design. If you and your followers join mine, we could share in spoils and riches. Show the goblins, that we are no foes.''

''You are not my foe, Kurd, are you?'' Nezz asks smiling, showing her sharp teeth. ''I did give you such a nice, vicious enchantment for your favored weapon. You just didn’t want to be impolite in front of Soxkill.''

Kurd shrugs, "Sword is better. See it got no rust and blade is sharper." Kurd displays both weapons for quick comparison. "Maybe enchantment is better, but I no know what it can do. Was going to see in swamp, but didn't find anything worth killing. Maybe best of all be Nezz's enchantment on Chief's sword." That's the closest Kurd's ever going to get to sophisticated political subtlety.

"Next season was going to hunt hob goblins in mushroom forest. Bring some back and see if you got better blessing than pain thingy on your scourgy gobs. No feel pain is weak. Pain makes Kurd stronger. I thought you thought same way after healing."

"But if you be raiding too, then I be there with my boys. Always up for raid."

That was long speech for Kurd. There is a moment of silence as his brain cools off before it overheats.

You’ve come to discuss, what you are doing in the Halls?''
''I heard the Scourge has been getting in your ways. Come for our protection?'' Brutalis grunts.

Nezz

Nezz seems to consider Kurd’s words, her look calculating. ‘’Yes. Maybe my enchantment on Chief’s sword would be fitting. It is a fine weapon for killing certain things. The enchantment on the Scourge is a test. I do not give gifts to those, who are unproven. The Scourge would need to draw blood, before I reforge it into a true weapon of Zon-Kuthon.’’

“You are right. Kurd and Snux cannot change the tribe alone, but that is why we all need to band together if we want to change tribe. A thing I can promise you though, is that those time I have meet Kurd and Snux, they seemed to be goblins that could handle pressure. For example, Kurd did not show fear of Brutalis and Koba, when he decided to help me with implementing the hall rules. When you say they might not be the smartest goblins in tribe you might be right, but what is most important is the determination to cause. If they should need more intelligence, then they can always talk to me.” Jalax said, hoping that his speech would be enough to convince them.
