[QUOTE="megamania, post: 7503474, member: 9255"] SHADOW WAR SEGMENT 005 “GOBLIN MARKETS” 9/29/18 “Where to?” asks the kobold. “Down. We can find this ‘Nofist’ down where the goblins live.” Not surprising…. No goblins seem to know this “Nofist”. “Goblin Market” states Dorque. “What?” “Ask in Market.” “Three words. Big speech” the kobold sarcastically comments. “Good idea. The market is next.” Shortly they reach the upper levels where the goblins and other races live away from the natural sun. They scare many goblins in the first market. The second market goes poorly as Tabask is robbed of his coin purse- a very heavy coin purse. But the third….. About two dozen goblins are at the market. Two humans are here at a booth. “We are looking for Nofist. Where can we find a goblin named ‘Nofist’ ?” All of the goblins stare to the back of the crowd where one lone goblin stands. The two humans and the group turn now also to stare at the exposed goblin spy. Dorque steps forward and the crowd parts for him. The goblin begins to run. Tabask calls up his divine power to defy gravity and flies over the crowd and stops the goblin. By time the others catch up with them, the half-elf has already begun his interrogation. “Nosebleed- Nofist at Nosebleed!” “Where or what is a nosebleed?” DRAVAGO 6, 1003 23RD BELL THE NOSEBLEED IN UNDERSHARN, BRELAND The nosebleed is a moving pit fighting event run by goblins. Each of the families are represented by a non-goblin and fight for family pride and money. As before, Tabask calls for Nofist. As before, the goblins turn and single out one goblin…. A goblin missing a hand. “Are you killers of Shittaker?” snarls one goblin as he backs away. “We are here for Nofist. Him.” And the kobold points at the retreating goblin. The goblins understand they are no match for these three so they step aside but the half-orc pit fighters step up making a wall. “You and the Claw may have murdered Shittaker but you will not take Nofist.” The three fighters do not last long as the warforged slices through them. Trapped, Nofist turns from his tunnel and faces the cleric of Travel. “What want you?!? Nofist no talk.” “Okay with me. But the big guy…….” The goblin attempts to flee but a hold spell stops him. Tabask ties him up. “Zilshire. Why are you spying on him?” “it what I do. Spy I do.” “Who paid you?” “One with money. Foolish question.” “Both of you are fools. Tabask can’t tie knots for anything and you thought I wouldn’t notice you have one free already.” The kobold bounty hunter attaches manacles on him. He reties the bindings better and so that the stub of his arm can not pull free. “Now, are you going to answer this overly polite man his question or will… Dorque ask the questions.?” The kobold leans in close- “He is a warforged of few words but great intensity.” They learn much in the next twenty minutes. A human contact has hired him to spy on ‘Cranky Professor’ (Zilshire). This began two months ago. ‘Mean Elf’ ( Professor Ardreau Guiest) has been translating a book for Cranky Professor. He keeps this book poorly hidden in his apartment closet. “Fancy Magic Guy” (Warlord Saas of Cleaved Rock) has been paying Cranky Guy to find and translate the book “Shiny Stupid but Nosey Girl” (Zilshire’s Secretary) has been running interference; protects Cranky Guy Claw has sent hidden agents to both Cranky Professor’s office and Apartment. Found nothing. “Silver Flamer Headguy” (High Cleric Samson) has been snooping around also “Holy Doggie” (Archon Hound Terrus) has been here for many many many months looking for book. “Where to next?” “For clues…. The two Professors’ offices and apartments….. maybe even talk to the Silver Flame.” No fist curses under his breath. “No likes Silver Flamers.” [/QUOTE]
