[QUOTE="mir, post: 2951428, member: 34845"] Maybe the archipelago used to be a large unified Goblin Empire, which just prior to the arrival of the colonists had balkanized into squabbling petty kingdoms. The colony might be trying to play one petty lord against another, to keep the kingdoms weak and divided. The early British colonization of India could give you lots of ideas. The boat pilum thing is cool. The spike wouldn’t have to penetrate thru the hull, it only has to stick into the wood enough to anchor the canoe. So I think it’s plausible. But more importantly it’s cool, so use it. Some random ideas: -The Goblins keep herds of giant spiders which they use to make woven spider silk armor and clothes. -Just off the coast of some of the larger islands are submerged Koa-Toa cities. The Koa-Toa raid the islands for slaves, food and supplies. How will the fish people respond to the colonists? -The archipelago is the remains of a continent which has sunken beneath the waves. -Undead don’t need to breath so how about zombie giant octopuses using their tentacles to drag themselves overland or a Lich Kraken with a permanent flight spell that terrorizes the entire area.
