Legend
"Any goblins that green kill and burn. Bring back green book for reward. Do not burn book! Kill Midok, Kill Jahk. Dead. Kill goblins with green and burn them. Any who surrender and willing join me, let live. Any who won't you kill. Midok wears black robes. Jahk is short, chewed up ear here." Tefan points to the length of the underside of his left ear. "Ouglas set weasel on him when young."
 




Voadam

Legend
Coming up from the ladder from the tunnels below, as promised, is another younger goblin in brown robes.

Illiam gobbles at the younger goblin who looks glum but nods and peers over the party, clearly surprised at the beings he sees. He nods when Illiam is done speaking.

Tefan says "Give me minute to get porters and leave. Any talk will place you here, not leaving here. Word will be that you came to make deal with Uncle Illiam, perhaps to buy potion. Apprentice Avi will lead you to mines then leave you to you work. When done, come back to Tower with book and head of Midok and Jahk." With that and a last broad toothy grin he gets up and hustles out of the hut, apparently relieved to be going.

The brown robed goblin gobbles tentatively at Illiam who scowls and gives a couple curt answers. Avi nods and looks back at the party. He goes over to a different curtained area, revealing a series of cooking apparatus including many clay jars in a fire. He goes over and takes down a clay jar off a shelf and smears some type of fatty ointment on his face, ears, neck and hands.

Once the noise of the porters leaving dies down, Avi goes to the doorway and peers out. He then gestures to your party, gobbles something and leads you out of the hut. The concoction he spread over himself is a bit foul smelling, similar to what Tefan and some of the porters were wearing for the journey in the daylight. The raven flies out the entrance and accompanies you as well, though mostly from a distance.

The brown robed goblin leads the party down a path through a heavily wooded area. Most daylight is blocked off by the thick growth of tall dark trees and choking vines. The half day's journey is mostly uneventful, though Noni notices the occasional tracks of big wolves. The trail connects up to others but you don't see another goblin as you go. There are plenty of birds, squirrels, and insects though.

A short time after noon as marked by the red sun the goblin leads the party over one hill and the daylight breaks through in part more easily here as the tree cover is less constant. The goblin points to across a dip to another hill side where the path leads to a broader more worn trail that leads up to the shored up entrance to a tunnel entrance. The entrance looks quite wide.

The goblin gobbles something at you then turns and heads back.

First Post
Activating his Mind Blade, Alan steps forward.

"Let's do what we came here to do."

(assuming the others follow)

With 'sword' and shield, Alan advances, watching carefully for any sign of opposition.
