Message: <blockquote data-quote="CanadienneBacon" data-source="post: 3362501" data-attributes="member: 11146">Pilgrim bows to Voadam, Brakkus, H.Lewit, and then finally to Maelicent.  "I'll make certain to return here after meeting with my Knight Commander.  'Til then, I bid you all peace and strength."   The kobold knightling bows also to Horace and Constance Buttonslow, then quits the Copper Coin after retrieving his gear.At the Sniffing Pig Inn and Tavern over by the Aest Bar, Chev and Gamad ponder and grouse about their fate for another half an idle hour before the door opens to admit a small knot of three human men, the first of whom is a painfully pale and skinny black-eyed male human with a green scarf that clashes with the rest of his clothing.  Second to enter is a solidly built bloke with blue eyes and who sports neatly trimmed mustaches, a regalia of well-oiled and polished weaponry, and a tower shield.  The third figure is a  large bear of a man with striking steel blue eyes, long brown hair, a full beard, and scars that lend evidence of a life lived hard.  The third man is dressed in torn and scorched robes tied about the waist with a green sash.  A few seconds linger as the trio enters the Sniffing Pig, then a fourth figure scuttles on silent feet to enter after the three men.  The fourth could be easily mistaken as a child, until its hunched stature and dark ochre skin give it away as some sort of monstrous humanoid.  Chev has a better look at the fourth creature and quickly discerns that the thing is a goblin.  Judging by the motley assemblage of leather bits, cloth wrappings, and black metal sported by the creature, which appears to be piecemeal clothing and armor trimmed with bits of fur and stitched together with sinew, the goblin hails from a warrior tradition of one variety or another.  The goblin flashes through the open front door and quickly darts under the closest unoccupied table, where its eyes gleam in the tavern's dim light from behind a boiled leather cap shadowed by a pair of upright sharpened boars' tusks.  When the three men seat themselves at Gamad and Chev's table, Chev observes the goblin weave its way unseen through the legs of two patrons and under a series of chairs and tables between the door and his own seat across from Gamad.  The set of the goblin is such that the creature defies being seen by the human custom in the Pig yet also lays claim to its rightful place alongside the three men.</blockquote>
