"Whatever you say, grey one. Far be it that you people lie. Constantly." His eyes wash over the group, returning to Wahyu. "Or puff. Or parade. Whatever you call it. I care not."Even so, offer still there." The goblin looks up at Wahyu, then his eyes drift over to Mystie. "Oh, and I not forget you, I'd set up fight with one of our witches if you want, but puff-and-parade here seem to be one wanting."Apparently done with Wahyu for now, the nasty goblin turns his head to address Jonas. "Rats? No, no trouble for tribe at all. Not... until we arrive here. Found the hole-in-the-ground over there," he tilts his head in the direction of the bluff, "while ago, so we get goblins together to take stuff. I come here with group, send some down to take look. Horrible rotting disease rats attack. Very nasty, I lose many goblins without ever seeing enemy." He shakes his head, "Stories so bad hard to know facts. Rest of questions can't say--I wasn't throwing any more goblins away down there, ya." The goblin stops talking, eyes still actively scanning the group, alert as he ever was.[sblock=Reason for Edit]The following was removed upon discovering Mowgli had gotten a post in while I was posting. It seemed inappropriate for the goblin to be asking him if he had any questions when he just asked several. The following text was removed in favor of the previous paragraph:His eyes drift over to Jonas as Wahyu passes the big man by. "Or maybe something you want? Yes... let me help you. I answer question for you, even if you all tense--I understand. Not comfortable. Yes..."[/sblock]The little goblin peeks out from behind the larger one, only to avert his eyes again as his boss talks some more. His ears bat down as if under threat, but it is obvious he's not comprehending the details, just getting the tone of the conversation in Venzan.[sblock=Diplomacy]As I said, the goblin is already talking, thanks to Jonas' Intimidate roll. I'm not sure what specific details you are after, at this point. The majority of your post (which I do like the flavor of, don't get me wrong) seems to be an argument in support of a proposition. The point is, I'm not seeing what you are trying to get, here.I see what you mean about Diplomacy in general, I had mistook the function and apologies on that issue. However, I still would have a bit of reservation about the use in this case--there is language about impending violence and I don't think either side has stepped away from that paradigm, particularly with various threats of how to kill or maim him and zero arguments to the contrary.[/sblock]</blockquote>
