[center][color=5ffb01][h1]Voth[/h1][/color][/center] [color=5ffb01]"The side keeps you breathing,"[/color] Voth would say in goblin speak as he caught the furious gnome and held him in place, at least long enough to speak his peace. [color=5ffb01]"Beast didn't listen to you. Beast didn't listen to me. It likes knife-ear the best. Is how it is, and not liking it won't change that. Probably looks like its owner, least more than either of we do."[/color] Putting the gnome onto the ground, Voth would keep his grip until he finished speaking. [color=5ffb01]"You jump knife-ear and the beast'll jump you. You win that fight, then glory to you. Beast is dead and still not yours. Lose the fight and you're owlbear food. Won't be enough left to bring back, either. Doesn't take a guide to know if you got two paths and neither leads where you want to go, you find another path."[/color] Bending down, Voth would whisper into Brutrumukk's ear, just incase someone present knew more goblin speak than they were letting on. [color=5ffb01]"We keep the knife-ear close, and leave some food to trail, beast is more like to follow us than not. There's booyahg I can ask Grankhul to grant, next time we sleep. Can use it to help make the beast like us more. Tame it proper. You a bugbear, then act like it. Some stupid orc takes a fight without thinking. Grankhul taught us better."[/color]
