The Goblin says, "I'm not trying to fool ya and I'd rather not be dead either. I'll answer your questions but I don't know everything. Let's see...Salub is my boss, he's a Hobgoblin, and he wants to get something...a crown I think...out of an old ruin, but that place is taboo. We won't go in there, he won't go in there, the Boss says we gotta go in there. It's a pickle! Ya understand what I mean?"Marullus wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2024 3:34 pm Naugrim smiles benignly to the goblin, adjusting his tack. He simply gestures to the imposing Ulfgar, standing beside him."What I mean to say, you need to offer something more substantive to live at all. The punishment for your crimes is otherwise death." He drops into a crouch to look the Goblin in the eyes. "Who is Salub? What did he wish that your gods forbid you to do? What does he want the wizard for? Be forthcoming. I really do not wish to see you dead, either... and there's little purpose in you trying to hustle me."
There's no difficulty in following a plodding, barefoot big ol' human wizard," pipes up Willow, efficiently wiping blood and goblin brain matter from her arrows as she pads into the clearing. She points to the the trail. "No reason to be so foolish as to say we will follow the goblin. What else does he know?"
"Okay, so the Boss, he wants the magic man because he knows something that he wants to know. I don't know what that is, so I can't tell ya. Maybe Salub will, if ya ask him nice." the Goblin looks at Willow and snorts, "Sure ya can follow the trail and ya might avoid the traps, too, but there'll be a fight at the end of it where ya might get what ya want and ya might not. If I take ya to Salub maybe no fight and he can make ya a deal that will be good for everybody, I'm thinking. See?"
OOC: Now for the bow...
Willow removes the good string and attaches it to the no so bad stave of the other bow. When she is finished,As Fergus, the grim efficiency drops away as the tiny woman moves to the side to aid her fellow scout. She smiles kindly to him, rosy cheeked, her nimble, small fingers deftly following his direction to help with the bow.
OOC: The shortbow will take 1 gear slot. The quiver and arrows will take 1 gear slot. Who is taking them? Remember to add them to your character sheets and don't over fill your slots or you'll have to drop something!
