[QUOTE="hewligan, post: 3920075, member: 19688"] Shalelu is happy to answer your questions as you walk towards the north gate. There are 5 major goblin tribes in the region. The [b]Birdcruncher[/b] goblins live in caves long the western edge of the Devil's Platter. They are the nearest to Sandpoint, but also historically the least aggressive (unless you are a bird!) The [b]Licktoad[/b] goblins dwell to the south in the Brinestump Marsh. They are excellent swimmers, and tend to be heavily camouflaged in mud and reeds. They have historically been a nuisance, rather than a real threat. East are the [b]Seven Tooth[/b] goblins of Shank's Wood. They have secured a place for themselves by raiding Sandpoint's junkyard and rebuilding the stolen refuse into weapons and armour. Further east are the [b]Mosswood[/b] goblins, the largest tribe it would seem, but one that tends to spend more time on inter-family feuds than on external aggression. Finally there are the [b]Thistletop[/b] goblins, who live on the Nettlewood coast atop a small island that some say holds a passing resemblance to a decapitated head. The island is very close to the shore, and is reached by a small rope bridge. Shalelu has ben very close to their lair in the past, but has found the way well guarded. The Thistletops are the most aggressive, and expansionary. She also lets slip some "goblin heroes", from Big Gugmut of the Mosswood tribe, a big muscular goblin who is said to have a hobgoblin mother and a wild boar father. Koruvus was a chamption of the Seven Tooth tribe who wielded (akwardly!) a human sized Longsword, said to be magical. He disappeared a few months ago. She mentions that Ripnugget is the current leader of the Thistletop goblins and controls what all five tribes view as the most coveted lair (the island fort). And then lastly there is Bruthazmus, an infamous bugbear ranger who lives in northern Nettlewood and often visits the five tribes to trade things he has stolen from caravans for alcohol, news, or magic arrows. Shalelu's face cannot hide her distaste for this creature as she reveals that he has a particular hatred of elves, and that the two of them have clashed several times. She vows bitterly that she won't be the first to fall in their private war! She doesn't know who is leading the five tribes. She admits that it seems very likely that they have been united, and while her first thought was that perhaps Ripnugget of the Thistletop tribe may have been just about strong enough to do this, the captured goblin's claim that a 'longshank' was leading things had thrown this idea out. She says that she is sure it isn't Bruthazmus, for although to the goblins this hobgoblin is a longshank, he is too alcohol addled to lead himself, let alone the five tribes. As for goblin insults, she teaches you a few choice sayings in their own tongue. All seem to revolve around either being too short, or having a mother of questionable lineage (such as 'your mother is a midget slug'). [/QUOTE]
