Magdalena shuddered at the sight of the goblin infants. These things bred like rabbits! Or locust. And were just as much a plague on civilization. Their vile evil should be wiped out.

Magdalena stepped up to the female goblin with the spear, staring down at her. She kept her hand off her sword, for now, but ready for any trouble should she attack. She was acutely aware she was still injured from the snake bites, and in no real shape for a fight. She couldn’t understand what the goblin was saying, and so had to wait for Traubon to translate.

“We mean you and yours no harm, if no harm is offered,” Magdalena said. “We come to parley with your chief Krig, on behalf of the nearby village, and seek knowledge of this place before your arrival. But know that you and all your brood will be cut down to a goblin should you oppose us.”

[EarlyBird]

Thadius let's the imposing Magdalena do the talking. He tries to look threatening and dangerous as the female goblin looks over the group. His morningstar held low, but ready.

OOC: Help, with any Intimidation roll Magdalena makes. Giving her advantage.

 

[JustinCase]

The female goblin starts trembling in fear as the paladin and tiefling, both twice her size, tower over her. She does not flee however, her eyes big with tears starting to form.

”Th- that way,” she utters, one hand pointing towards the left door. Her entire posture makes it clear she just wants you out of this room, away from her and the infants.

The goblin you captured before watches the female without apparent emotion, but nods when she points to the door.

”That’s the throne room.”

 

[Azurewraith]

James didn't like this once in the throne room they would be trapped there if any reinforcements where to arrive the door making a excellent choke point.

 

[EarlyBird]

"Actually there are two rooms that way, if I remember correctly." Thadius says remembering the map of the complex the murkdwellers drew for the group. "Ask him what is behind the middle door and the one there to the right." the tiefling says to Tarboun. "I feel like we are missing something, but can't put a claw on it."

“Very good,” Magdalena told the goblin woman. “Help bless you.” She made a gesture over the goblin and then pushed past her. While she thought the entire tribe should be slaughtered, as they were evil, they were here on more pressing business, and likely didn’t have the time or manpower to eliminate them as needed.

Diplomacy and intimidation would have to do.

Magdalena stopped at the door to the throne room as Thadius spoke up. “You think they are trying to trick us?” She looked at the two goblins. She felt the female was too scared to risk lying, but she didn’t have a read on the male. She swept her torch up high to get the most light, and readied her dagger in her hand.

[Azurewraith]

James began a slow clap at the preachy woman's revelation, normally he wouldn't let such mirth get a hold but this, this was a special occasion. "Of course u are trying to trick us, you know they are goblins what they lack in physical stature they make up for in cunning. I wouldn't be surprised if opening that door ran into a hobgoblin platoon."

 

[JustinCase]

The goblin captive looks at the female warrior for a second, then turns its attention back to Magdalena. Without Traubon interpreting the interparty discussions, it seems to miss what is being said. Instead, the creature shrugs and seems bored, waiting for whatever course of action you decide upon.

The female on the other hand, still very frightened, scuttles towards the goblin infants and starts cooing and tries to calm them down. An improvised toy thrown in her face is proof she’s not very successful, and within moments the volume of goblin young wailing is even higher than before.

 

[JustinCase]

OOC: Sorry, forgot to answer Thadius’ questions. "Actually there are two rooms that way, if I remember correctly." Thadius says remembering the map of the complex the murkdwellers drew for the group. "Ask him what is behind the middle door and the one there to the right." the tiefling says to Tarboun. "I feel like we are missing something, but can't put a claw on it."

The goblin shrugs.

”Room for females,” it points towards the rightmost door, where the other goblin women fled to.

”Belig’s room,” the middle door, referring to the goblin blackmailer you’ve locked up in the stinking pantry.

”Throne room, Chief Krig’s room. We must knock first.” This is the left door, and despite its claim, the goblin makes no move to knock.

 

[Azurewraith]

James reaches out and snatches the goblins hand."I thought you said to knock first?"
