"Wait! Wait!" Tochack stretches his hand to the elfshanks "You didn't tell us at least where you last saw the Tianshanks! That's important, we be knowing where to search first!" he says to the elf.
"Ameiko is name of the Tianshanks we have to find. No weakling, very good at throwing daggers." he informs the other goblins, remembering all the goblins she was able to slay by her own.
Who could have kindnapped someone so strong as the Tianshanks?
The elfshanks thinks for a moment. "Last time I saw her, she said something about taking a couple people to explore the Glassworks. Thought maybe she could refurbish it or something."
The brother nods at the elf "Gotcha. We will save the Tianshanks, you not have to worry." he says as the elf leaves.
When the woman leaves, he turns to his companions "So to the Glassworks, yes? Where are they? And, um...what are they?"
The elfshanks is probably talking about the longshanks fakto - facter - place where they make things. It's on the eastern border of the city - too far away for most Goblins to bother going there during the raid.
We save Longshanks? That something Sticky never thought he do...
If no gobbo there, still must be plenty of shinnies, me go! Says Puseater while rubbing its hands.
Sticky joins in the semi-creepy hand rubbing.
From outside the skylight, Laz looks on and shrugs. "Either we find the Tian or we need everyone to jump on that elf-girl when she comes back." The archer wipes the dirt from his feet, ready to go find Ameiko right now.
Stikky not think... of course we save longshanks... there be other longshank towns out there with more longshanks. Longshanks is bad enough when their venturer's come to kill gobbos... you want a longshank's army about?
He paused for a moment his eyes lighting up brightly... This might be more beneficial to the Licktoads and himself than they had realized.
He did pause and glance at the others for a moment...
Armies is like, lots of trained warrior longshanks like hundreds and hundreds of the armored ones.
He added to make sure they followed why that would be a bad thing. This glassworks too had a possibility.
Yes yes Brother Tochack to the Glassworks... after we speak to the Cheif!
Sticky follows Play's line of thought. Army would be bad, yes. Must get Longshanks! Me understand!
Me glad that no one be asking me why Tochack knows the longshanks. Maybe everything will go better than-AAARGH
Tochack mentally screams when Plays proposes to go see the chief first.
If chief knows of the longshanks, maybe he be asking that we kill them! That's bad!
"Plays, me not know if it's good idea to tell chief now...we have no proof to show him that elfshanks is gone, and even if we tell him really what happened, he will punish us because we let her away! But if we do as the elfshanks said, we could ask her for some fake proof when job's done! If time passes, chief will also see that no gobbos have been killed in days!" he says with a broad smile, hoping to sway the other goblins from contacting the chief.
Yes, yes, we can be lucky and find others than longshanks on the glasguorcs that we can take as deaders and bring them for the shinnies. Says Puseater thinking smart of himself.
He shook his head at the .. short sighted self worry of the other goblins... though he couldnt fault them. They werent geniuses like himself.
For now yes, we can inform da cheif of the glassworks being the place to go,but eventually we needs to work a deals with those longshanks before they go to armies or the like.
He answered the others pinching to top of his nose for a moment like his head hurt.
The mage quickly does his best bow and kneels.
We have fought off a powerful asssasin Chief and discovered a chance to truly make the Licktoads great and powerful. We have to go into this place called 'the glassworks.'
He began rising and moving closer to the Cheif. He stood beside the larger Gobbo and threw his hand dramitcally out in front of him.
Inside this glassworks, is a longshanks who is the key to this powerful entity called trade, that indeed would give us the strength needed to crush the other tribes, perhaps even making you King.... No wait Emperor of the tribes!
He paused for a moment for dramatic effect.
.......
.......
.......
We uh... well I just wanted to know when we save the day and make you powerful can... I have this glassworks place to study?
He finished simply tilting his head to the side with a goofy smile.
As you leave, Slorb stops you and gives each of you a CLW potion - plus an extra one for Puseater.
[smaller]yes chief, we go glasguorcs and bring longshanks ears! [smaller] Says Puseater from a corner is a low tone, more to cheer himself than other thing.
oww, more fights and more longshanks that will try to kill us
While sad for the thinking of more dangers, Puseater cheers up and laughts when slorb gives him the couple vials.
me thanks, Slorb, me owe your, me remember it.
Laz stuffs the potion in his bandolier and checks his bow - ready to set out for the Glassworks.
Sticky accepts the vial gladly and attempts to pick pocket the goblin as he turns away.
Right right, me and da boyz here...well plus Auntie will make sure we secure uh.. the glassworks for Goblintown of Sandypoints.
He said loudly and well as eloquently as he could in goblinspeak.
Tochack nods at the chief request.
Good. Chief not be talking of lonshanks skinning. Pus wants ears, but we'll talk about it later.
Leaving for the glassworks with the others, he waves to Slorb "Thanks!"
The double *glup* doors? *glup* me likes *glup* lets try it Says Puseater while quaffing a potion.
"Belle can knock, see if someone is in." Auntie grinned as she said that. While she didn't have the skill to raise one of the undead herself just yet she did consider Belle to be a tool and more or less disposable.
Let me take a look first, auntie, let me let me. Says the little gobling, still gloating, with a low voice.
If allowed, Puseater will go to the door and try to see throught the key hole, if any, if no, he will push his ear into the door and try to heard any sounds. After that he will try the door, if locked, will make use of his lockpicks and try to open it, and take a look inside hidding and in silence.
He stood there expectantly tapping his foot quite impatiently. It made sense to enter the place with some caution... but still He did recall 'sticky's' well stickyness.
I claim this glass place for my workshop sticky... So no taking things! If everything is still in place... perhaps I will reward you .... but it needs all its stuff to make shiny treasures okay?"
He began trying to entice the notorious klepto with a bit of promised something to get him to perhaps not rob the place blind...
Sticky eyes the magicy one skeptically. These things usually didn't pay off. Still, this one was smart. Maybe he could make good on his promise. If he didn't, then he could rob the place anyway, so Sure, sure. I not really like it, but sure.
Laz sands back, bow ready, watching the doors and windows.
To check what's ahead, Tochack peeks into one of the windows near the door.
After peering through several windows, it becomes apparent that this is a building where longshanks make glass. The main room has an entire wall of ovens that are generating massive flames. There's also a long table full of exotic metal tools. Eight Goblins are playing with them and appear to be having the time of their lives. By their clan markings, you can tell they're from the Birdcruncher tribe. How dare they encroach on Licktoad territory!
@Puseater: the double doors are locked .
They are in my shop! Stupid Birdcrunchers are going to mess the shop up and we cant have that Let's get them!
He said to the other almost franticly
With a imperceptible "clac" the lock yields to the skillful goblin.
Shhhh, let go, let go, shhhh Says Puseater, pointing to be silent with his finger.
Laz sneaks into the room and finds a good spot to shoot Birdcrunchers. As the others launch their attacks or move in to strike, he fires.

I cover you
Not one to ever worry about things too much like stealth, Plays at least was polite enough to let the other sneaky goblins move into position. Once they were there he announced quite loudly.
"THIS IS MY GLASSWERKS YOU STUPID BIRDCRUNCHERS! GIVE ME ALL YOUR SHINYS OR"
He yelled out drawing his thumbover his throat before chanting lightly and He made the motion 'throwing' out a force missle to streak forward and hit the closest Birdcruncher to prove he meant business.

"Okay, now we sneak in, rescue pretty tianshanks and-" Tochacks holds back a chocked scream when plays yells in an attempt to gather the foes's attention. "Plays, has the light of the fire-hair hit on your head too much? We can't be knowing how much of them there are!" the goblin whispers to the wizards as he tries to bring him behind cover, frantically looking left and right for any enemies's sign.
Sticky follows in and stays near the front line, but hidden. He needs to be close to work his magic. As he moves, he gathers fistfulls of broken glass and dirt.
