[QUOTE="kinem, post: 5818675, member: 24234"] A high-pitched, nasal voice (no doubt chief advisor Slorb) calls out for you to enter. Inside, fat Chief Gutwad sits precariously atop the Teeter Chair. Slorb tells you [COLOR="DarkSlateGray"]"Sit in front of the Chief"[/COLOR], indicating the dirt floor in front of the Chair. A great honor! But then, much to your surprise and shock, Chief Gutwad himself speaks to you directly in a deep, booming voice. [COLOR="Yellow"]“You all be heroes. Each of you. You are best Licktoads but for me. And maybe but for Slorb. That you aren’t fleeing in terror from mighty sound of my voice is all the proof you should need. Yet soon, all Licktoad goblins will know your might, for I have picked you for a dangerous mission. You know about fireworks and map we found in Scribbleface’s hut. Fireworks were fun. But map is more fun. It shows a route to a place near the coast where Scribbleface found fireworks. And it shows there are more fireworks there! “I want them for Licktoads. You all go get them tomorrow. Tonight we have big bonfire to burn bad luck away from you, and we play many games. Much fun. Tomorrow you fetch me fireworks. If you meet men, you make them dead. If you meet dogs, you make them dead. If you meet horses, you make them dead. If you meet Lotslegs Eat Goblin Babies Many ... you maybe should run. And if you not find fireworks, you not come back or we feed you to Squealy Nord! Slorb, give them map."[/COLOR] Slorb gives Mogmurch the map. [COLOR="Yellow"]"Now go!”[/COLOR] Time to go prepare! --------------------------------------------------------------------- The map is relatively simple, showing little more than the Licktoad village, the old shipwreck on the coast that supposedly contains the fireworks, and the creek that runs between the two locations. Unfortunately, the old wreck is also located in the part of the swamp that all Licktoads know to be the territory of Vorka the cannibal. Thinking about it, you recall the following information: [sblock=Brinestump Marsh]The marsh is a place of great bounty, with lots of places to hide and lots of delicious things to eat. Some of those things are poisonous, though. One of the best things about the marsh is that the longshanks don’t normally come into it. They’re afraid of the monsters. Among the dangers that you can expect to face in the portion of Brinestump Marsh that you’ll be heading through are wild dogs, giant bugs, giant snakes, and giant frogs. Oh, and Lotslegs Eat Goblin Babies Many. And maybe Vorka.[/sblock] [sblock=Lotslegs Eat Goblin Babies Many]There are plenty of giant bugs in the swamp, but the giant spider known as Lotslegs Eat Goblin Babies Many (known more often simply as “Lotslegs,”) is the most notorious. The giant spider lives somewhere in the marsh between the Licktoad village and the coast, and the route that Scribbleface’s map shows leads right through the its territory.[/sblock] [sblock=Vorka]One of the greatest terrors of the swamp is old Vorka, a ravenous cannibal goblin who, legend tells, was once the wife of a Licktoad chieftain. She murdered and ate that chieftain, as well as several other goblins, before she was driven out of town many years ago. Since then, the story says that she’s lived alone somewhere along the coast to the west of Licktoad village, and while she’s never returned, most goblins who go missing in that part of the swamp are assumed to have been eaten by the cannibal.[/sblock] [sblock=Squealy Nord]A fearsome boar (or so the goblins say) who lives in a muddy pit in the middle of the village, right next to the goblin baby cages.[/sblock] ------------------------------------------------------------------- Goblins toil all afternoon to build the bonfire out of branches, sticks, and unburnt timbers taken from the ruins of Scribbleface’s hut. As night falls, a group of four struggling goblins carry the Teeter Chair (with Chief Gutwad sitting atop it) out to the bonfire, and the chief lights the fire with a Desnan candle firework. This signals the start of an all-night party that features lots of good things to eat (snails, fish, and snakes). The chief brings out a barrel of fermenting cider apples. You know that many goblins will soon be drunk. Who among you will join them? [/QUOTE]
