The bipedal rodent finally spots the poster and reads that there was a job offer that required an adventuring party to retieve something from a wasteland. Seeing this opportunity, it quickly heads back into the tavern to look for the room where the poster wanted those interested to gather.

"Don't worry about me, Taurl. I know better than let those Rockbiter monkeys have a reason to wage war against us. As you said earlier: we're sending a message, not a declaration of war."

Tovo could not help but feel the pride within him grow as the young goblin girl named Nabi called him a veteran warrior. From his position at the side of Bok, Tovo places his hands on his hips and pumps out his chest proudly as he grins ear to ear like an idiot.

"Heh. It is true that I have two years under me as a warrior, but I have not earned the right to be called a veteran and have much to learn but I thank you for your kind words, Nabi. For the stories, you are free to listen to my tales tomorrow. I promised the younglings two stories and I intend to keep that promise! As for the orc, I have yet to encounter one in combat but I'm sure I'd be able to slay those brutes one day!"

Tovo ends with a hearty chortle.

"Hello, Bok." Tovo replies.

Upon walking closer to the group, the unknown individual was actually a young female goblin. Tovo, trying not to be rude, offers her a nod of recognition before walking to Bok and before awkwardly leaning closer to him and whispering to him.

"Bok, who's the new girl?"

"Tell me again how this 'lucky stick' work?" Tovo's companion asked scratching his bald head, still confused how Tovo manages to use that seemingly mundane stick to functional effect.

The two had left the temple and Tovo accompanied his hunting companion as they walked through the village.

"For the last time, I place the stick to my forehead and focus really hard and the stick tells me what to do. Thats how I've always used the stick"
Tovo pauses for a short second or two.
"...minus the times it does work and I didn't do anything. Those times were lucky accidents."

"Tovo...that still does not make sense."

The goblin in question only shrugs in response and admits. "Well, even I don't know how it actually works but I won't question something that saved me from two arrows, a boar, and recently saved us from a wolf."

"Maybe we will never know what makes that thing so special."

Tovo looks down to the stick at his side. With an uncharacteristically sad look in his eyes. "I think its special cause my mother gave it to me. She...she was a really good mother."

His companion realizes that this was a sensitive topic and tries to veer the conversation to another direction. "I'm really thankful she did give you that stick. Without it, maybe you wouldn't have been smart enough to be able to save us and capture that wolf." He replies with a half hearted chuckle.

Tovo pats his companion's back as they walk. "We captured that wolf, remember? You distracted it while I set up the attack. I mean, without your skill in looking at things angrily with your ugly face, the plan would have failed!"

The two goblins burst into a fit of sniggering and good natured shoves. They soon part ways a short while after the conversation. With Tovo's companion heading back to his hut to rest.

Tovo wandered around the village for a little bit until he saw Taurl, Bok, and...someone he didnt recognize. He raises his hand and waves at them as he walks towards them.

Once the two goblins left the temple, Edra headed straight to the main altar positioned  further behind the bonfire almost to the point that it was leaning on the wall that separated the temple proper and the place where the shaman rested and kept her supply of ingredients for rituals. That altar held both a wooden idol that had several face carvings and a rabbit's head. This kind of offering was the most favored of all offerings by the gods and with such favor required preparation to ensure the prayer of the one who left it be answered and to appease the gods greatly.

She walks to her ingredients cache and grabs some amorous herbs and a wooden mortar and pestle before returning to the altar. She begins to grind the herbs into a thick amber paste that she proceeds to dip the offering into. She goes into a trance like state and walks to the bonfire. The bonfire reacts to the offering and gets slightly stronger than normal. She then holds the head over the bonfire and utters the words of sacrifice before dropping the rabbit head into the fire. "Utzilah miopiar lethodar akula vigis."

The bonfire greedily accepts the offering and the gods show their favor by quickly consuming the flesh of the rabbit head and blackening the rabbit's skull almost instantaneously, making it ready to be mounted outside. Edra then takes the skull out of the temple and mounts it for the whole village to see.

Seeing as Taurl left for something important and Bok seeming to have lost interest in killing the wolf, Tovo and his hunting companion decide that it would be for the best that they head to the temple and meet with the shaman so they could make their offering. The two took their time walking through the village as the other villagers they passed by were impressed and amazed by the wolf they carried. Tovo specifically received attention from the children he told stories to earlier that day. Asking questions about how he captured the wolf or if they could touch the wolf. The questions they asked sparked even more questions. Tovo's voice could barely be heard from the commotion but he eventually caused them to settle down. He then spoke with an overly dramatic voice.

"My dear younglings, I'd love to tell you the dashing story on how my companion and I outwitted and captured this beast and let you feel it...but alas we need to make haste to the temple and give the wolf to the shaman. A haul as great as this needs us to give homage to the gods."

His announcement was met with a chorus of disappointment from the children. Frowns on their faces. This injustice would not stand while he was still drawing breath.

"Fret not. Fret not. For I promise you not one, but TWO heart racing tales the following day!"

Tovo only grinned as the once disappointed group of roared in excitement before they dispersed. Tovo's companion only smirked at him.

"You really do care for the younglings don't you, Tovo?"

"What can I say? The children like me and my stories."

"More like your made up fables."

"Hush you."

The rest of their walk was uneventful and it did not take long for them to reach the temple and hut of their resident shaman. Numerous wooden and stone idols depicting the many gods of the tribe. At the center was the bonfire, the very symbol of the tribe's power, and behind it was their shaman. She stood there, head gently resting on her signature staff, eyes seemingly closed in meditation. But upon closer inspection it was revealed that she had dozed off.

Tovo's companion was first to act and spoke barely above a whisper, hoping not to disturb her. "Shaman...shaman. Wake up."

"You ninny. You can't wake up the shaman like that. Watch and learn." Tovo takes position near their shaman and cleared his throat. "Elder Edr-"

Even before he could finish. The shaman's signature staf meets his forehead, successfully bonking him. Tovo holds his forehead in mild pain.

"Who are you calling old, youngling?" Asked Edra Forrestshield, shaman of the green bone tribe of 11 years, with a gentle yet aggresive tone.

"You! You're twenty tw-"

Another bonk silences Tovo and he soon understands to keep his mouth shut.

"Now...what do you need?" She asks while moving closer to the pair.

Tovo is reluctant to speak but his companion speaks for both of them.
"Shaman. We managed to capture a wolf and wanted to offer its skull to the gods as thanks for this bountiful haul."

Edra nods sagely as she examines the wolf's head. "Hmmm...this would please the gods greatly but first you need to kill and skin the wolf before I can start the ritual. Return once you have done the deed."

Tovo and his companion nod in understanding and leave the temple before head to a discrete location to properly kill and butcher the wolf. They skin the wolf's pelt and strip the meat and edible organs off and place them in their respective stores in the village to be dried or traded. They both return to the temple, freshly skinned wolf skull in Tovo's hands.

Edra turns to them and takes the skull from his hands and heads to her original position behind the bonfire. Tovo and his companion takes a knee in respect of the ritual. Edra raises the skull above the bonfire before she closes her eyes in focus.
"Utzilah miopiar lethodar akula vigis."
She tosses the skull into the fire and an unnatural wind fills the hut for a half minute as soon as the skull touched the flames.
"The gods have accepted your offering. I will mount this skull outside when the fire has blackened the skull. Go along now, I am busy have other matters to attend to."

Tovo and his companion bow to the shaman before leaving the temple.

The rodent writes down its thankfulness for the offer and the help he has given before standing from its seat and offering the man a deep bow. It then leaves to look for the poster the man had mentioned.
