Goblin Quest

To confirm, did Hoi and Emri see that sorta level up card thing? Or is this purely OOC? Also, looking around, would Hoi see any indication of the slimes' trail/tracks?

Goblin Quest

Bald goblins rise up!

"Not the name granted to me by my parents, mind you," Lei Zi responded with a half-smile. "Just a title passed down from my predecessors." It was dangerous, always, to share one's real name within the magical community, after all. Though the veterans may have outlived their loved ones by now, those of the blood always ran the risk of some monster or the other tracking down their mundane relatives and exacting unequal vengeance.

Boteg though. That was a name she hadn't heard in some time. One of the last of the Sunscorched Dragons of the West, no? Tian Rong, hidebound and serpentine as he was, still educated each previous maiden on the existence of other dragons within this plane of existence, and Lei Zi had been no exception here. To think that such a rare dragon would be housed within the same city...Penrose certainly lived up to its name. The woman hid her surprise with another sip of her cup, the sharp taste cutting through her moment of contemplation.

"A home is nice, but alas, if I linger too long without fulfilling my rites, my Patron will be keeping everyone up at night with his thunder. Considering the amount of corruption here though, your patron certainly could certainly find a better place to stake his claim. Unless that endling prefers to be caught up in everyday maelstroms?" The priestess laughed at that. She wasn't so drunk yet, but she was certainly a bit more relaxed, even as the tension in the room crackled like the rain before the first bolt.

"My role, unfortunately, is not nearly so benevolent. If this was the planting season, I would doubtlessly have much more genial duties to attend to, but for this rave, this convergence of opposing forces...I suspect he wishes me to partake, rather than to quell."

No response from Eden. No questions, no concerns. Dolly bowed once more to the silent girl, before disintegrating, leaving nothing behind. And from the absence of one, came the prescence of another.

Between Justine and Veronica, a form emerged from the ether, manifested within an instance of inattention. A pale girl with gleaming eyes, dressed in gothic attire that seemed to eat away at the myriad of lights within the rave. Her back faced the vampire; she hardly seemed aware of what scene she had intruded upon. Folding her hands over her abdomen, she bowed towards Veronica.

"Vermillion," Dolly spoke. Her tone was neutral, quiet, yet still carried beyond the raucous din of the rave. "The implements have been prepared. Shall we conclude our contract?"

An update's probably due in a bit anyways. Just need Mushroom now, yah?

Goblin Quest

If you attack him, you'll likely also wake him. So the second option is a two-for-one!

Goblin Quest

I am slightly curious as to how 'smart' us three day old goblins are at this point. Seems like everyone has a different interpretation on our basic intelligence, from the well-spoken Aya to the ungo-bungo duo. At this point, would we have our adult human level intelligence, complete with an expanded vocabulary and forward-thinking mentality?

Goblin Quest

If Reshy can't recognize them without seeing their face, then no, the goblin shouldn't be familiar to them. XD

Goblin Quest

I thought it was evident that the goblin is the same goblin that gave us our names?

Goblin Quest

@Versa
Yeah, there's two blues and one green, so I suppose Emri would be going at the two blues?

Goblin Quest

Hoi watched the smaller goblin break off a branch of something. Good. It was good to be good with one's hands. Good to be willing to work. The rotund goblin nodded one, stopping to let Emri catch up.

"Hoi." Mimicking his companion's action, he pointed to himself with his right index finger, before continuing on once more. His stomach didn't ache so much now; physical activity took his mind off it. One step, two step, weaving a serpentine path around the cave. Occasionally, Hoi nudged a big rock away with his feet and snapped down, plucking a worm or two out from the moist dirt. He took them for himself, only showing Emri the way. They didn't fill his stomach, only took the keenness off the emptiness of himself.

Bigger prey was past them, in the clearing. Three strange, gelantinous creatures, crowding over a split creature. Two shared, one had a bigger half to itself. Most of the meat was gone, but there was still bone underneath. Hoi knew what this was. Leader and follower. Unequal work for unequal feed. He bared his teeth. He did not growl. Pulling off his loincloth, the only bit of rudimentary defense he had, the now-naked goblin wrapped the faded, dirtied cloth around his right foot.

"Destroy the green one. Together. Hit the center, scare the blues. If they scatter, we eat. If they fight, we run."

Meat was meat, but bones were more. Another tool, or a bigger meal. And if they could break apart the green thing, if they could eat that too...

"You go when I go. Now."

Breaking out from behind the large tree that they spied the slimes from, Hoi ran full-tilt, practically on all fours, before his clothed foot reared back and swung out to kick the jelly thing, digging into the dirt while it did. If he was lucky, the food would be kicked out and the slime would be broken into two. If not, he wasn't going to stop until he was.
