People are always saying that murder is bad, but you know who never gets asked? The victims. I have no idea whether murder is okay or not, but I certainly know who we should be asking about it.
@Jangel13@Crusader Lord Oh no, three days old and you’re already going to kill each other. Aya will watch from the sidelines and strike down the victor. :P
I’ll get working on a post in an hour or so.
@eviledd1984 For a quick rundown of what’s happened before game start as far as I understand it 1) We all died in our past life. 2) We spent two days practically immobile as juvenile goblins before growing to full size. In this time we were fed and sheltered.
None of us have anything save for what we’ve gotten ourselves on this first day of activity. Come to think of it, I’m not entirely sure we even have clothes at this point.
One of the older goblins had pointed out to Aya the value of adding weights to her net when she built it. Of course she was already planning something along these lines, probably owing to the burst of information she’d received earlier, but now that she properly thought about it she realised she wasn’t sure where the proper balance lied. The heavier the weights were the harder the net would be to escape, and that would be important, especially considering the unknown strength of their prey, but at the same time, if they went too heavy then they wouldn’t be able to throw the net effectively in the first place. For that matter what was the optimal distribution of the weights?
Aya didn’t have time to draw a conclusion, for from seemingly out of nowhere one of her brothers appeared, shoved a pelt and horn into her hands, said something about thinking not being able to fill her stomach and began dragging her away from her sisters and out of the church. Was this brother an idiot? How did he expect her to survive without thinking? Wait, had he actually haunted a horned rabbit already? Did that mean the wildlife was weaker than she’d imagined or had this brother just gotten lucky? Well considering the number of siblings she had, Aya guessed it made sense that if they all flung themselves into danger at least a few might come out unscathed. Wait. Was that how goblins survived as a species? It suddenly made sense why they aged so quickly and somehow it was because of an even worse fate!
Aya didn’t particularly want to become another statistic in the presumably astronomical goblin death toll, but her brother did have a point on one thing, she would need to act eventually and as things were relying on this brother might just be her best chance at survival for the time being. Maybe she could even save his life while she was at it. Putting on her best attempt at charisma, which is to say adopting a grin befitting a slasher villain, Aya began trying to convince Argos not to throw them both headfirst at death, "Er- brother… I agree that thinking won't feed me, but I still think planning is important… think of it as hitting a horned bunny, if you’re strong you can whack it harder but if you’re smart you can use a tool or something and whack it better?" Aya didn’t know why she presented that last part as a question, "Brother killed a rabbit, so you’re probably strong, but you could also fight smart, and then you could hit harder and better. The best of both worlds."
Hopefully, that had been convincing enough, but that still left the problem of actually proposing and selling this goblin on a plan that wouldn’t see them both impaled, splattered, disembowelled or having suffered any number of other grizzly deaths by the end of the day. "I think I might be able to help you with the hitting better part," that was a lie, Aya wasn’t particularly smart by her own reckoning and she certainly didn’t think her ideas would be the game-changer she was trying to make them out as, "How about for now we don’t plan too hard and instead just look for something to hunt. If we find something that looks like it isn’t any stronger than a horned rabbit we can devise a plan to ambush it otherwise we can try making a trap for whatever we find?" That was a terrible, terrible plan and Aya could feel a tightness in her chest as her panic began to rise. There was so much that could go wrong and Aya was pretty sure she’d just suggested something that had a good chance of getting one or both of them killed, but given the circumstances, the speed things were moving at and the fact the goblins had clearly slotted into an evolutionary niche that same them dying in troves, she couldn’t think of anything else to do.
Primitive Crafting: Ancient civilizations used the very same methods as they harvested the base materials at their disposal to make weapons. Learned how to make primitive traps like spike pits, holes, and spike traps. Also learned to make bone/wood weapons such as clubs, bows, slings.
Knowledge of the Three: Knowing the names of the god and goddesses of the world they live in they can now properly worship them. Ramos god of light and the sun, Duvelna goddess of death and the night, Shirila the goddess of the earth and nature.

Aya was given rabbit parts by Argos before being dragged off.
Aya realised that goblins probably survived as a species by having lots of babies rather than any of those babies being particularly likely to survive.
Aya tried to convince Argos not to just charge into battle but to find a middle ground between brains and brawn. More specifically she tried to convince him to help her scout and then either set a trap or ambush as the situation calls for.
@Eviledd1984 Hurray for smart goblins. If you read the first few IC posts that should probably give you a good idea. @Jangel13 Apologies for not posting yesterday was uncharacteristically tired. Looking over what I've got now, shouldn't be more than half an hour off.
@Eviledd1984 Apologies if I sounded annoyed in my comment or anything. It was my mistake if I did.
I’m actually really glad to see another goblin go all out down the brains route and this way I can totally picture an eccentric goblin cobbling together rudimentary laboratory gear from nature.
Appearance: Wan’s prominent features are his long ears and nose. His skin is dark green with small patches of brown all over his body. His body type is frail and skinny. He has big blue eyes. On top of his head is a light blonde combover. There are many scars around his body, mostly from his various experiments. Most of the tattoos are around his arms and torso, the tattoos are of scientific and mathematical equations.
The clothing he wears includes blue overalls, an orange cotton tunic, black leather boots and goggles.
Personality: Wan can be described by others as being quite eccentric. He likes to ramble or try to show other people his inventions, resulting in people giving him strange looks. To other people he could be described as friendly and outgoing, always looking out for others. Despite his obsession with creating various things to try and improve the life of the goblins, Wan is accepted by others even when it would have to be at arm's length.
Other people might think he is partly crazy, but Wan likes to think that he is sane despite his behaviour. Wan is also loud and brash, bragging about his inventions. He also dislikes humans and elves, because he thinks they are arrogant or snobby bastards.
Past Life History Wan was born in a small cave with his father, mother and seven brothers. While he was growing up Wan loved to tinker with things and see what makes them tick. At the age of ten his family was murdered by adventurers, his father sacrificing himself to let Wan escape. Steal garbage and make small trinkets to sell to other people, most of the time he would be chased out of a village or city because he was a goblin.
He was homeless until the age of thirteen, where he met another goblin named Keel who took him in as an apprentice. Learning from Keel about how to build various things. Wan became known for his inventions that would either help other goblins, or blowing or injuring himself somehow. At his current age he has ventured out to building inventions, and selling them to further fund his research to help his kin.
Skill: Wan has the ability to complete complex mathematics and scientific equations in his head.
Other: None

Damn, I was planning on having Aya test out the system by doing maths in her head, but it looks like that's already your thing. Then again Aya won't be doing anything complicated maths, so it probably wouldn't be stepping on your toes. Also, just in case you didn't realise the goblins are currently three days old and for the most part have only really just reached the age where they can be active, so having already managed to scar and tattoo himself as well as acquire that getup is probably a bit far fetched. Not my call though.
Would you ladies like argos to help? His skull can force enemies into a confrontation thereby eliminating the problem of a target simply running away. He could literally direct the enemy to your traps
Sorry for the delayed reply, I was sure I responded to you this morning but I guess I'm just an idiot. Argos coming along is fine by me. When the others are off doing their own things Aya will either be continuing with trap building or else trying to scout monsters to form better plans so help would be appreciated. I guess if she finds something particularly non-threatening looking like a slime or something Aya might try to kill it without a trap, but given she considers the horn rabbits too much of a threat that probably doesn't describe much.
