[QUOTE="takyris, post: 1792247, member: 5171"] I'd make myself a rogue... and then I would, in the tradition of my proud forefathers, [b]lie[/b]. Take a story to the humans that talks about the kobolds and their growing power. Kill a few wandering humans and plant kobold equipment near the bodies. The kobolds have amassed some dark and deadly magic, and they are coming forth in strength. Already, the goblin peoples are greatly imperiled, and if they fall, the humans will have no one to occupy the kobolds' far flank, and the human settlements will be overrun for certain. "The goblins and the humans should not work together, for it is well known that the ways of the goblins are not the ways of the humans, and our gods think it just that we not meet as friends. But as allies, we may drive back the scaly vermin before their unholy numbers can boil over both our peoples. Our gods will not begrudge us that. We ask not for weapons, for your people are large and powerful, and my people have no knowledge of your weapons. Instead, we ask only for food, that we may pull our hunters and gatherers into the fight and let our small fields lie unplowed while we take the fight to the kobolds, knowing that you shall harry them as well on the far flanks. We will never be friends, human, but perhaps, in this coming darkness, we can be allies. Among my people, the chieftan carries one staff of office to show that he rules, and the shaman carries another staff of office, to show that he advises in wisdom. I would offer your people my staff. My shaman and I shall share one staff together, and you shall plant this staff upright in upon the center of the highest tower in your dwellings, so that all in my tribe may know that the staff of office rests with you, and your people are not to be harmed by goblinkind until this war against the kobolds is over and forgotten." Also, I'd have Skill Focus:Bluff. :) [/QUOTE]
