This is what I mean with story. There usually is some sort of a plot, be it very simple, or very clever.To me storytelling involves not only coming up with the conflict (goblins and kobolds warring over territory), but also the reason for that conflict, and various possible scenarios that could emerge from the player's choices. One such scenario may be that the players form an alliance with the kobolds. But maybe they form an alliance with the goblins instead? Or maybe they decide to kill them all, or try and establish a peace between the two factions? While I would never steer my players towards a specific choice, I would at least think up some follow ups to some of the most likely scenarios. That in my opinion, is storytelling.</blockquote>
