Jofre

"Well, it's not psionic, but there's something odd about it, something I can't quite put my finger on.

"Can anyone give me an idea what's so odd about it?"

Jofre will carefully examine the blade for any sign of oil, grease, or smudges -- anything that might indicate poison. Assuming he finds none, he will try to locate a sheath and sling it over his back after his companions have had a chance to look at the crystal falchion.
 

Bokaru studies the falchion, interested by the design.

"Surely crystal is a poor material for a weapon? I would have thought it would shatter after its first use."

If he finds nothing new about the weapon he hands it back to Jofre and searches the other two orks.
 


"Crystal, you say?" Rak'al goes over to look at the weapon after he's done cleaning his axe "May I see it?" He looks at the weapon, something strange indeed.. but somehow familiar...
 

There is no posion to be found. Just a odd magic aura about it.

The goblin tells you to hurry for you have lamost reached the village.

You trek on through the cold and frozen snow for about another 1/2 hour, finally reaching a small little hamlet of huts and wooden buildings, you also note a small lake hot/spring a little to the south of the village, as well some greenry in the area. As you approch the settlement you grow warmer.

"I forgot to tell you my name! How could I be eh, how you humans say "stoopid?", It's Goli. Wait here while I go speak to the hamlet leader, Sir Regi Greenskin." Goli explains , this all sounds very funny to your Human ears, that is if you werent so tired.

You see him walk off and enter a slightyl large hut. While hes gone you look around. You see some goblins chopping wood, others farming the little patches of green land. You see some by a large hut examining guns and ammo. There is also what you beleive to be small goblin children palying a game with sticks.

Goli Returns, "Sir Greenskin is very happy you will help him. He says you will be given command of 2 squads of his goblin troops, the rest must stay here for defense, and you are to attack the main Ork complex northeast of here. I will serve as your groups translator. This can all wait though, come this way to our inn and have a round on me!"

Goli leads you to another large building, you all enter, there are stone and woods stools around a bar. A few grumpy goblins sit on the stools and a few at tables. Goli hands you each a cup of something, if not for being slighty white, reminds you of ale.

"Drink up!"
 

"Is it the best idea to go so soon? I would like at least this evening to rest and recuperate from today's events." Bokaru replies to Goli, as he takes a swig of his ale.

"Can you give us any idea of the lay of the land around the ork's camp? And how will the squads we command be equipped?"
 

"Oh, yes you will be going tomorrow, I am sorry I forgot to tell you, you will be told what we know about the land early tomorrow morning." Goli says drinking some of his own ale.

"The Squads are 7 Men each, 2 on the rifle, 2 on the short bow, 2 on the Handaxe and the Sgt. on the Short Sword. I'll be joining your Squad, and will have any neccasary explosives we may need, enoguh of this talk of battle, rest, enjoy your drinks, tonight you stay in the best beds this inn has!" Goli says swiging down the rest of his drink.

He walks off smiling to go talk to some of the goblins, probably proclaming the good news.

Rak'al will rest and enjoy himself (But not too much.. "No drinking much the night before a Fight, Gentlemen!" He remembers a voice saying somewhere in his past... Shaking his head, he takes a cautious sip of the drink, wondering what it is.
 

Jofre

"Well, I've never been a big drinker, so only a little, and perhaps some water for the rest of th enight to help cleanse my spirit. Food would also be good -- I'm famished."

Jofre quickly drinks the white ale, and then starts examining the tavern's occupants, trying to listen to their talk and get a feel for their languages.
