[QUOTE="Felix, post: 788920, member: 3929"] As far as thinking that goblins are not serious threats, this myth has long been dismissed from my character's mind. When he was a 2nd level barbarian, he was doing a little scouting for the party. He came upon 3 goblins laying in ambush waiting for my buddies to walk down the road. I think "ok, 3 goblins, no problem. I'll just intimidate them and they'll run away because they're weak little goblins." So I do this: "gggggGGGGGAAAARRRR!" And menace them with my greatsword. The goblins are unfazed. All three goblins then do this: "ggggggGGGGAAAARRRR!" And incite barbarian rage. And attack me. They all had at least two levels of barbarian, if not more. Fortunately, they had orders to carry my unconscious self to their leader where I was revived, and after some role play, was set free. Needless to say, I am ALWAYS wary of goblins, since those I run into usually have levels of barbarian.:) Anyway, I was fortunate enough to learn my lesson early in my carrear - your players were not. That the lesson was taught is enough. As for bringing them back, they are high level and by now must have gotten the notice of extraplanars. Perhaps have one of those outsiders raise them but place a big ol geas or quest on them. They have to do the bidding of someone they might not necessarily like, or whose motives they don't agree with.... Demon Princes, perhaps? heh Have fun with it. [/QUOTE]
