Emerald's PbP game

[MerakSpielman]

"You know, one day I hope to actually defeat and evildoer.... This is the second time one has gotten away."

Kaltide retrieves his spears (assuming Richard hasn't run off with them sticking out of him) and starts to prepare the wagon and horses for departure.

 

[Capellan]

I'd assume he cast defensively

"Well, now we know why he was able to beat off the goblins. I'd say it's time to leave. We'll take the woman to wherever it is she's going, and then get back to our own business." Cattivo pauses, "Of course, if we can find Richard, he might be able to tell us where V'Skar is."

 

[Manzanita]

Reinert

"Well at least he wasn't powerfull enough to defeat the lot of us. That first spell he cast at me though, which made me sleep, blind and deaf. That was quite powerful. You should learn that one, Fisherwizard."

Reinert hurries after Jarred to ensure Kyla's safety.

 

[MerakSpielman]

"Er, ok. I will. That one looks fancy. Maybe his wife knows where his spellbook is? Unless he's a sorcerer of course. New spells are always nice."

 

[Emerald]

As you all leave the barn and head back to the house, you see several goblins standing around the house. Grit is standing in the doorway. As you get closer to the house, the goblins make no moves toward you, and once on the porch you see Kyla sitting at the table, crying. A large black book sits on the table in front of her. Grit turns and speaks to Reinert in Goblin

She is sad. I wish I could make her happy, but I cannot. Let her know that we mean her no harm, and if she decides to stay here, we will watch over her and protect her farm. It would probably be better for her however if she moved into town. With this statement, you detect a crack in his voice and a slight tear in his eye. You are good men, and this knife shows you are goblin friends. He hands you an amber gem, and a dagger of obvious goblin design.

 

[Krug]

Jarrad raises his sword, wary. "This could all be a trap," he says.

 

[MerakSpielman]

"My good Grit, it shames me that I could not do more, being, as I am, merely a simple fisherman. Even so, if there is anything I can do to help you in the future, please let me know.

"By the way, out of pure, non-professional curiosity, what is that book you have, my dear lady?"

 

[Manzanita]

Reinert

"Grit. You are a brave goblin to face your heredetary enemy peacefully. Please understand out history with goblins, and thus that I must be wary of a trap. Kyla has told us she has relatives who she can stay with who will care for her. We will escort her there." Reinert steps towards Kyla, and places an awkward, but protective hand on her shoulder. "Your efforts to defend her are appreciated, and I will try not to pre-judge goblins the next time I meet them.

"Tell me, Grit. What do you know of this Richard, Kyla's husband. And do you know of an acquantence of his, one V'skar, who visited recently with two small owlbears?"

 

[Emerald]

Kyla tries to compose herself. You see her bags packed and sitting next to the door. She looks up at Kaltide, and pushes the book toward him.

Take this evil thing away from here. Ever since he started studying it he has not been the same. Is he dead?

Grit will figit nervously.

Yes, Please escort her to town. We are good goblins, and that dagger I gave you, it will tell all goblins that you are a goblin friend. Now about this man of whom you speak. Yes, a man did come by here the other day with two foul creatures. He spoke to Richard for a short while and then left. We followed him a short ways, he traveled south to the fork and then continued west.

 

[Capellan]

Cattivo shakes his head,

"He fled, for now. He may well return for his spellbook ... we should wait for a day or two and take him if he does."
