[h2]Act II[/h2] [@The Irish Tree][@Xaltwind][@BurningDaisies] After dealing with the last cultist and cleaning his torture room, Gromgard had a little time to relax. He made a quick stop by the kitchen to visit Flan to ask for a small feast for his goblins before leaving for his own quarters. Upon arriving there, he looked at the large bed and sighed. He was feeling lonely. Just as the goblins' feast was ending, Gromgard was called to another meeting. He attended with little enthusiasm. Rodias was talking about a big plan. [quote=@The Irish Tree] [color=f7976a][b]”Next, Gromgard, Ashara.”[/b][/color] Rodias would say, moving their dolls to the southeast, near the heavily forested areas that Bone Daddy had guarded, and that Gromgard had previously chased his artist underlings to. [color=f7976a][b]”If we’re going to establish ourselves as being benefactors of the people, then we need to ensure their safety. I’m sure the locals are already up in arms about the cultist’s continued attacks. As such, I’d like you two to find and root out their base of operations. It has to be somewhere near here, judging from the information we squeezed out of our ‘guests’. There’s also a good opportunity for you, Gromgard, to try and find out if there are any goblins native to this world residing there.”[/b][/color] [/quote] While not happy to be returning to the same spot, He was intrigued by the thought of hoarding more for his horde. [quote=@BurningDaisies] After a moment of consideration, he leaped onto the Lord's table and announced his decision. "Ashara, Gromgard, you'll be pleased to know that I've decided to join you. Mamoru or Vicarious can play house for some sniveling worm in human skin, and Kath can eavesdrop on everyone's dirty little secrets. None of that interests me. I prefer a task that I can sink my claws into. Doubtless my talents would be a welcome addition to your little troupe. No need to thank me, however. I find myself in a charitable mood." His tail swished with satisfaction. [/quote] Gromgard saw the cat and, with a smirk and a voice dripping with sarcasm, walked up to him. [color=f1f101]"Does the kitty want a treat? Is that why he's trying to act like a big boy? Does he need a scratch behind the ears?"[/color]
