Gameplay is open! We will start posting tomorrow!
It has been nearly five years since Sandpoint was attacked by giants with half the town burning to the ground. Sandpoint now stands rebuilt after those events nearly destroyed it, proving that it is a tough little town.
While spirits are high the old feelings are seeping back into the town with talks of Goblin attacks up and down the Lost Coast and caravans going missing.
To deal with the growing goblin threat, Sheriff Belor Hemlock has restored Sandpoint’s old “goblin bounty” after several years of inactivity—it was suspended when a group of eager but too-young adventurers were swept out to sea while in pursuit of goblin ears. The town of Sandpoint will pay 10 gp for every relatively fresh goblin ear delivered to the town hall—with an additional reward of 300 gp for the group who can bring in the head of the Licktoads’ leader, Chief Gutwad.
You've all seen the posters or heard the rumors and know of a meeting being held in the early morning at the Rusty Dragon where Sheriff Hemlock will speak. Whatever the reason for you wanting to hunt Goblins you find yourself there today ready to help Sandpoint.
As you enter you see a few of the local older men already taking up there spots to begin a day of drinking and can be overheard every now and then talking of Goblins attacks. But as you get closer to the bar you can smell cooking meat and exotic spices wafting from the kitchen, getting ready for the lunch hour.
While you see the prominent figure of Ameiko the owner of the Rusty Dragon running around serving the few people in the bar early she gives you all a smile and a nod as she darts in and out of the kitchen. You also see Kaito the ever present figure at the bar a servant of the Kaijitsu even before Ameiko was born, although she has always called him uncle.
Goblins always had been a constant problem near Sandpoint, Anisha had treated more wounds caused by the critters than any other type of injuries which was why she decided to attend the meeting. Heading inside Anisha scanned the crowd present seeing the persons present while greeting Ameiko.
"Hello Ameiko! How are things?"
Kaito studies the Samurai for a while, like any artist he can't rush his art. "Gohei, i have something special for you today." He pulls out a mug and a bottle covered in Tian script. "They call it the dragons mistress. Sweet but with a fiery kick." Pouring the ale he again looks the Samurai up and down. Handing him the drink he laughs. "So you're out for adventure are you? I could never stomach it myself, but the world needs adventures."
He strokes his beard for a moment almost lost in thought. "If you seek my advice i am happy to give it you know me. You would do well to help Sandpoint with bounties, Goblins are evil creatures born of evil spirits i would have done with the lot of them. The cause nothing but chaos, they also stole my shipment of Cheerful Delver Stout! I had to order it all the way from Varnhold. Hemlock with give you the gist of it when he gets here." He seems almost distraught over the thought of his lost shipment.
--
Dropping off a round of drinks she smiles as she hears Anisha greeting, and hugging her. "Anisha! Its always nice to see you. Things are hectic I'm a little run off my feet today talk of all these Goblins sure gets the locals riled up, is there anything i can get you? are you here for Hemlocks talk?
|
Slowly and carefully sipping Gohei savors the alien taste. . "I would not have asked you, if I weren´t in need of an elderlys wisdom! You know how much I miss.... " he sighs, but straightens himself"And to bring you your shipment back would be a great dead, as stealing it was a terrible crime. I shall look around for more, because attacking a tribe of goblins is not couragious but utterly stupid!"
Anisha nods in thanks to Ameiko and answer: "Can I have some juice then? And yes I'm here to hear from Hemlock. I'll figure that without someone sensible helping, by the week's end, All healers in Sandpoint will be full treating people with more courage than any sense." She says this while smiling, she much preferred overly courageous people, to overly cautious ones.
Anisha considers offering to help but decides against it, Ameiko had handled hectic days before, and she needed no possible accidents caused by a bunch of spirits. So, after Ameiko return's to work, the young woman finds a place to sit and wait. Focusing on keep the new members of her spiritual entourage from playing with her hair.
Yui is in a corner telling a great story with her shadows while she waits for Hemlock to tell his story. After she came to town Ameiko let her stay here for free, which was fine for a while. But Yui felt guilty she was not contributing to Ameiko except for her story telling. So she decided to hunt some nasty gobsies.
Right now Yui is entertaining some guests and children with a story in one of the darker corners of the bar while she waits for Hemlock to start the hunt. As she tells her story she uses her shadow stencils and a few candles to paint the story with her shadows, much to the entertainment of the kids present.
"And then while I was distracting him Amie snuk up to mister Fluffy with the bucket and threw the water all over it. Mister Fluffy transformed into a scary feline monster we knew him to be, skinny and bony with big beady eyes! Oh how he hissed a demonic hiss!" And the shadows tell how a smart looking little princess is distracting a very puffed up cat with some light, while a girl who looks similar to Ameiko approaches it from behind and throws the water at him. The cat turns into a demonic bony being with glowing eyes spitting fire with its hiss.
"Wu was a great man, I miss our long talks. He was proud of you, even prouder knowing you wish to help the town today." He sighs. "But don't get me wrong Gohei, while I joke about my ale. I've seen what a goblin can do first hand and your right this won't be easy." He taps at the counter. "You know the reason this bounty was stopped in the first place? It got foolish people killed, I hope a few more people with sense like yourself turn up. He smiles at the Samurai. "But if you were to find some of my ale... Id happily reward you."
---
Ameko smiles back. "I'm glad to know your going out there with them, that's why I offered up the bar for the meeting i wish to help anyway I can. I'll get you your juice now take a seat." She then glides off picking up empty mugs on the way, and watches Yui story for a moment laughing along with the others as the water is dunked on the cat, with a little wave she moves on to the bar.
"I hope he's not droning on at you Gohei." She smiles at the both of them, patting Kaito on the back. "I'm guessing your here for the bounty too? She looks at Gohei.
The day was bright and clear, the chill of Fall not having ventured this far south yet and a late summer sun burns through what wisps of cloud there are.
Fletcher Woodward whistles a jaunty tune as he makes his way through town. Not for the first time he stops to adjust the straps on his new armor, not the best money could by but well-fitted and with a certain style, and make sure that the bow he just bought was taut and serviceable. The armor was strange to him, hundreds of leather squares sewn together with gut to form a kind of scale. He hadn't seen it's like in Magnimar and remarked to himself, not for the first time, how different this small provincial town was, the influence of Tien craftsmen quite prevalent. Still, it was brand new and oiled and he felt every inch the hero in it.
With the Rusty Dragon in sight, he stops to quickly check his reflection in nearby shop window and tuts when he sees several locks of hair out of place. Taking a small leather thong he expertly pulls back his shoulder length brown hair and practices a few expert crowd-pleasing grins before he notices the shop keeper inside throwing him an odd glance.
Haha. Sorry Mr Bevuk. How are you by the way? Business going well?
Fletch has no idea that the man can't hear him but it doesn't stop him flashing one of his grins and saying;
That's great. Listen, I've got to see a man about some goblins but I'll catch up with you later. Say hello to your lovely wife for me.
With that, he pushes open the door to the inn.
He can see the big human at the bar speaking with old Kaito.
Well, that makes sense. He's just about the biggest guy in town and he has seemed a bit listless since that old man died. The way he carted him about toward the end, they must have been family I guess.
A few of the other regulars are already in attendance but none seem dressed for travel so he figures they aren't joining up for the Bounties. The young, honey-haired girl though, she never spent that much time at the Dragon.
Maybe she knows the big guy.
Fletcher sidles to the bar, walking with a swagger as if everyone were watching him, even when no one was and vaults onto one of the stools. Most bars don't cater directly for little folk like him, and those that do tend to have small, almost child-sized tables in one corner. Never one to be placed in a corner, Fletcher had mastered this hopping stool-vault over many years in dozens of small drinking pits on the road. The first time he tried it, it was perfect and in one smooth motion he was up at the bar and ordering his drink in one smooth motion. The second time he slipped off completely and split his lip for his trouble.
Not so on this occasion. He hops up and beside the big samurai.
Morning Ameiko. The usual please. Any sign of Hemlock? I'm hoping he'll let me join this Goblin Hunt of his. Hey, how's it going? he says, cheerfully first to the young girl and then to the Samurai beside him.
Ameko watches as Fletch flings him self up on to the stool. "Morning Fletch." She takes out a glass and starts pouring him a brandy. "So your signing up too? Didn't think of you as the adventuring type. She looks at him with a teasing smile. "Looking for some new material to sing about?"
Always. he replies Maybe even enough material to support a glorious homecoming gig, if I can get enough goblin ears to fund the trip back to Magnimar. Goblin ears... That's really disgusting by the way. he says with a grimace, sipping the brandy Ameiko puts before him
After the conclusion of her story Yui spots Fletcher sitting on the chair and an evil grin appears on her face.
She approaches carefully tiptoeing to get closer
and closes right up to Fletcher without him noticing.
She then places Takei the scorpion carefully on coat. Takei proceeds to crawl up Fletchers coat until he reaches his shoulder at which point he clicks with his little claws.
Speaking of disgusting, Fletcher is blissfully ignorant as the little Wayang girl creeps up behind him, scorpion in hand. With mischievous glee, she places her pet on his back.
With his new armor, Fletcher doesn't feel a thing as it slowly and deliberately crawls up his back, like some horrid alien thing and comes to a rest on his shoulder.
I mean why the ears? I understand he wants proof that we are dealing with them but what does he do with them all? he takes another sip of his brandy, enjoying the smooth, warm feeling in his throat. When that elf girl Shalelu led me out of the swamp she had a necklace of goblin ears.
A necklace. Of ears.
That's weird, right? There's a level of anti-social behaviour there that I'm sure you only develop by living in the woods your whole li-
**clickclick**
Fletcher takes the tiniest of glances to his left when he sees the monstrous thing. It's massive. Almost as big as his head. Several things pass through his mind at the same instant but the overriding thought is overwhelmingly;
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT??
He lurches back off off the stool, frantically sweeping at the thing on his shoulder before hitting the ground with a hard thump - the high stool is after all, a long way up for a Halfling.
With the scorpion now scuttling it's little vermin way on to Yui's outstretched hand, Fletcher breathes a sigh of relief.
Yui. he says, with a slight shake of his head. You know most people just say hello? He pulls himself back to his feet, unconsciously fixing his hair as he does so. You spilt my drink by the way.
Oh I'll get you back for that you little..... he thinks, smiling inwardly. He had to admit, she got him good.
Yui burst into laughter as her evil plan succeeds. Tears drip still drip out of her eyes and she continues giggling as she helps poor Fletcher up.
"Hihi, aw, that was so funny Fletchie when you went Argh!" And she mimics frantic waving on the hands and falling back. "Hihi, ah, sorry, but you scare so funny and easy.
Amie could you get another one of whatever Fletchie had?" The little girl shouts over up at the bar as she jumps up on the stool.
Yui sits on the stool and helps Fletcher back up on his.
She takes a whirl on the stool while asking "So you are going to hunt gobsies as well Fletchie? Wanna hunt together? I can sneak up on them and scare them just like you hi hi."
Ameiko watches as she sees Yui sneak up on fletch and as he see the scorpion she bursts out laughing. "She got you Fletch." She says with a smile as she pours him another drink. "Yui you too? Looks like there's a group forming. Nisha and Gohei are also thinking about signing up." She points to the other two passing the juice she promised to Anisha.
"Can I have another of Kaito's spiced wine?" Yui asks innocently with a big smile.
At the suggestion of teaming up Yui looks down the bar "ooo really? Wow Nisha got really brave while I was away huh. And Gohei is big and strong, he could protect me! Let's go ask Fletchy, he could protect you too from tiny scorpions, hihi!"

For a very quick moment Gohei reddens and then replies to the beautiful Ameiko:"Yes, I mean no, Lady Ameiko-sama. I mean I want to find more to build a hunting party to lessen the goblin burden for the city. And I also hope to find your missing, I mean the inns missing delivery of ale. I am not that interested in cutting of goblin ears. I think it is kind of uncivilized and I think father would not approve." Gohei looks around to see if he can find competent partners for the adventure. Seeing Yui arrive he quickly asks her."Yui-san, what do you think about the idea to hunt some goblins? Lady Ameiko thinks it would be a good opportunity."
Ameiko frowns but with a smile. "You remember what happened last time? Because I do. She says sticking her tounge out. "How about we just stick with the grape juice for now." Poiring one for herself and Yui, she hands it over.
--
Ameiko looks to Kaito and shakes her head. "That's all he's talked about is his ale, Gohei please don't feel like you have to do this for us. I'd feel bad if anything were to happen to you, to any of you." She looks to the others. "But your all capable. You'll have to speak to Hemlock about the ears. But the Goblins have become a real menace."
Anisha smiles at seeing Fletch's reaction but still feels compelled to scold Yui "At least wait until he is on the ground Yui." She tries to appear severe like Koya can, but fails as she can't keep her smile off her face.
Nisha feels like sighing watching Gohei answering Ameiko. Too obvious, You don't even realize do you Gohei?
Seeing the new arrival Anisha turns and speaks:"Hello Rishana! Yes, it's true. It seems to me Sandpoint won't be free from the goblin's pest, until it grows into a bigger city." She pauses to drink a bit of the juice then goes on: "So you came to join the hunting Rishana? Everyone else here is joining." Anisha gestures to the others in around her.
"I'm glad Rishana is joining, she is reliable and having Senga around will make things safer."
Breathing in the colder air, Ellowin just smiles to herself. Finally, something bigger. It might not be much, but the posters about town only confirmed her talk with Shalelu earlier that month about the goblins growing in size. And now this talk of a bounty.
She double checked that her freely strung and not hung up on her well-worn and well-oiled leather armor, stained a dark brown to blend into the forest. She never really fit in well, here in town, but liked it well enough. It really was the only place to get news. And the stories. All the new folks from afar with their stories nowadays!
She walked into the Rusty Dragon, immediately noticing the larger than normal crowd, smiling and greeting those she knew. Carefully, she skirted the fringes of the crowd, carrying a small sack gingerly, making way for Ameiko, shouting over the roar of the crowd, "Ameiko! Thought you might have a use for these!" She then pulls out a brace of freshly dressed rabbits, "Not sure it'd feed this crowd, though... The sheriff been by, yet? I hope I haven't missed him."
Anisha snorts: "Yes I've got a sign. If a bunch of hurt and dead people counts as a sign. Goblin hunting doesn't interest me Rishana, keeping the hunters alive does." She looks over Yui and Fletcher wondering how well they would fare against the goblins. "Last case I know Yui can always hide." Nisha stops and shakes her hand in front of her, throwing off the spirits agitated by her somber mood. She hadn't told anyone but she had met the ghost of someone killed by the goblins. The oracle had sent the ghost on his way, but not before hearing the dead man's tale, and it had chilled her.
Still no point in making the mood sour so Anisha forced a smile and added: "I'm glad you're joining, it's good to have someone with experience in the wilds. I don't know why Yui is joining but Fletcher seems to be after both money and inspiration."
Yui returns Nisha's comment with a big grin.
"Aww no fair, Fletchy gets alcoholic drinks and he acts funny all the time" Yui says with a large pout when she gets handed grapejuice.
--
When Ikoma offers to join forces Yui gets more excited again. "Yay sounds fun! we could use someone with muscles on team Yui!" She responds with a grin.
--
When Rishana enters Yui immedietly goes looking for Senga. "Rishana! Where did you leave Sengie, Is she out hunting for mice again?
When Rishana and Nisha also suggest they are going hunting, Yui excitedly says "You guys should join team Yui! We already have Ikoma and Fletchy and I guess Elly can join as well. Were sure to get the biggest bunch of goblin ears then!" From her tone you can guess that Yui is very excited at winning a contest of bringing in the most amount of goblin ears. For a young one like her killing goblins wierdly doesn't seem like an issue. That or she has not yet thought about the required killing act.
Trying to keep her voice away from Ameiko's keen ears Yui covers her mouth with one hand and whispers to Anisha and Rishana "I want to suprise Amie with a bunch of gold since she let me stay here for free. I feel kinda guilty over it so I want to pay her back. Also, I want more of that spicey wine, he he." And behind that hand you can see a wide grin cover her face.

Hearing that he has been shanghaid to team Yui, Gohei can not help himself but chuckle."Yes I will join your team. If for nothing else to guard you. And I am quite happy to see you join Fletcher-san. Anisha and Rishana, you two I am not that worried about!"
I hope she will pass the test of battle and stays this way. I remember myself the first time I went to fight those pests. I was 14, armed only with a bokken when this goblin tried to kill me. But still training took over. But how baldy I was shaking afterwards. But time and experience will tell."
Allowing himself another sip of ale he looks at the others, waiting for the events to happen.
Retaking his seat, Fletcher regards the others and thinks he must be in good company. In truth if he were to enter the swamps without any of these wilderness folk he'd probably never get out.
I heard about all the trouble this town had with giants years ago. Most of you are giants to me already so anything bigger than you guys and I don't know what I'd do. Maybe these goblins have got a bit more savvy after they saw the town in danger and think they can expand their territory. Who knows? I do know they are opportunistic little scavengers. They say there are colonies of them in Magnimar living in the sewers like rats.
And speaking of Magnimar, I'm all for civic pride here, this is a great little town, but really I'm just hoping to earn enough gold to get back home.
Listen I'm nowhere near as strong as; he pauses Gohei, right? Oh and it's just Fletcher, or Fletch by the way, not 'Fletcherson' he says, mishearing and misunderstanding the honorific title the samurai used. But I'm not bad with a blade and I'm a decent shot. Plus I have a few other tricks up my sleeve. Anyway, great adventurers should have great songs sung about them and I'm just tge guy for that!

I have to remember, most people here are not used to civility
Listening to Fletchers word, Gohei nods."I do not devalue your worth, Fletcher, a real fight will show best what everone is capable of. What do you think, we meet in the morning at the sheriffs office and ask him wich area we should clear? I would strongly advice to be sober, only a fool drink and fights." With that he orders a mug of apple juice and listens to the others.
Oh this? Fletch says, indicating the brandy. Purely medicinal. Lubricates the vocal cords you see.
@Rishana Ameiko turns as she hears her name, seeing Rishana she smiles. "The bounties are back thats true, seems like you and Senga have some company with these lot helping." She turns to look at the others at the bar. "Can i get you anything?"
@Ellowin Pouring some more drinks and listening to the others speak, she spots Ellowin as she shouts over the crowed. "They Ellowin, I know what's on for food tonight, I'll cook it extra special for you. Thank you. She takes the brace of rabbits off the counter and hands them to Kiato. "Go do something helpful uncle, i can look after these for a while." She smiles as Kaito looks at the rabbits and takes them in to the Kitchen smiling at Ellowin.
Aemiko pours Ellowin a drink and hands it off to her. "Hemlock hasn't been here yet, you haven't missed anything im sure he'll want a big crowd for his speech. Have you seen Shalelu out in the wilds? i know shes not meant to be back for awhile but i do worry."
--
After a while as everyone is talking, drinking and planning on what they will be doing with the bounties, a tall well built man with a stern face that never seems to chance steps in to the inn wearing chainmail and a cloak of the Sandpoint guard. It would be hard for anyone not to notice or recognise the man as Sheriff Hemlock.
Scanning the room he spots the group at the Bar, then begins to make his way over to them. "Good day to you all, from the looks of everyone else here it seems it's just you lot here for the bounties?" He says almost forgetting his manners as he nods at Ameiko. "I'd like to thank you Miss Kijisu for letting me host this meeting, we don't really have room at the barracks less I wanted to hold it in a cell."
Aemiko smiles at the uptight Sheriff and waves him away. "I'll do anything i can to help, now i better leave you lot alone i've got dinner to start prepping too if you need anything give me a shout." She then gives each of you a look as she leaves for the kitchen.

Looking at Ellowin and Rishana he smiles for a bit. "It seems there are two experts on hunting interested in joining the hunting party. This is indeed great news. And with Anisha-san, we have someone who is an expert in tending wounds. So that our deeds are never forgotten and... for the practical side we have Fletcher-s, I mean Fletch and to lift our spirits Yui. Now the only one who is missing is Hemlock-sama. Maybe we do not even have to meet him tomorrow for our search area, it seems too many are still occupied with their daily chores."Or are less foolhardy! After the long speech he takes another sip and noticing Sheriff Hemlock to finally arrive. Sitting a bit straighter, he waits for the respected man to make his speech.
"Team Yui reporting for goblin hunting duty Sir!" Yui says as she does a mock salute in Hemlocks direction.

Morning Sheriff. So what's the gig? Fletcher asks over his glass.
Ok i'll get right to the point. I've reinstated the old Goblin bounties, a few adventurers have already made the attempt, but nothing has been heard of them in the 3 days since they entered Brinestump Marsh, and just last night, another round of colourful explosions burst over the wetlands south of Sandpoint." He then looks around and speaks in a hushed tone. "I truly believe the goblins are readying for an attack on Sandpoint. He then stands up straight again and speaks up.
"Now I tell you this to warn you and give you some advice. Brinestump Marsh may not be as large as the Mushfens farther to the south, but the swamp is dense and tangled. It’s easy to get lost in the place. No one’s made a really detailed map of Brinestump—there’s been no need, since there’s not much of value within. But if anyone knows his way around in the marsh, it'd be that old eccentric halfling Walthus Proudstump, the self-appointed “warden” of the swamp." Hemlock laughs to himself. "A fishing trail leads from the Lost Coast Road directly to Walthus’s shack in the swamp. You could do a lot worse than following the trail to seek out his help and advice, he may go over the top sometimes but he knows alot about the swamp. He then takes a sheet of rolled up paper out of his pocket.
"As the bounty says, the town will award you 10 gold prices for every relatively fresh goblin ear you bring back to me and their leader this Gutwad you bring us his head and thats 300 gold pieces on top. That will take the sting out of the goblins." He rolls up the paper and hands it to Fletcher. "Now are there any questions?"
Hemlock thinks for a moment scratching the back of his head. "We don't really have any information on the size, this is more of a thinning out. Their weapons are mostly just crude half broken short swords. Although in recent attacks they seem to be using some explosives, i've even heard reports of fireworks. Then magic users... I couldn't tell you im sorry, we only know of this chief because of the goblin chants.
Hoping against hope, Ellowin asks, "Goblin chant, sheriff? Could we hear it?"
"No offense taken Rishana. I'm simply worried. And I understand." Since Anisha has no idea of how to go about hunting goblins she simply stays silent. Though she agrees that goblins shouldn't be capable of producing explosives. "I wonder if the adventurers are alive, It's improbable but they might simply be hidden in the swamps." Then suddenly something occurs to her and Anisha speaks:
"Could you write a small message introducing us Sheriff? Since I don't think any of us knows Mr.Proudstump. I'll think that help if we go ask for his aid."
"Besides as difficult to admit as it is I think we probably make a suspicious looking group."
Hemlock looks a little flustered at Ellowin's request. "Well.. i'll tell you what they said." He then takes out a notepad and starts to read off the chant.
Put the longshanks to the blade!
Burn them up from feet to head,
Make them hurt, then make them dead!
Cut the parents into ham,
Smush the babies into jam,
All the rest in pot get stewed,
Chief Gutwad lead us to your food!
"This is one that was pieced together, from the reports i've been getting." He then turns to Anisha and nods. "I can write you a note of introduction, but Walthus is more than welcoming and i expect he wouldn't give it a second thought to invite you into his home." He takes out another piece of paper scrolls down a few words and then hands it over to her. "Oh!" He snaps as he hands the paper over. "There's something else i didn't tell you about Walthus.. He's a little strange but he also keeps snakes.. lots of snakes, so i'd watch out for them if i was you."

After those words Gohei nods and adresses the others."Let us meet in front of the rusty dragon tomorrow morning at sunrise. Going to a swamp in the night is unsound. Be prepared for explorations. And... sleep well!"
The next morning at sunrise Gohei returns to the rusty dragon atop his steed winddancer ready for adventure!
"I never knew Goblins were so musical. How adorable, if they weren't an evil race.
Thank you for the information sir! Team Yui will go and collect lots of goblin ears for you including their war chief's!" Yui says against Hemlock with another mock salute.
She turns to her friends and strides left and right using her arms to visualize what she means while enigmatically saying. "All right team. We have been given an opportunity. One we must seize with both hands! We will strike back at the goblin population that has been plaguing these regions we call home! We will face many dangers including mosquitoes, snakes and even soggy socks, but we will prevail. For when we come back, we come back as heroes! And they will give us all the spiced wine we want! Follow me and I will lead us to victory and gold!" she ends turning back and looking at her troops.
The performance looks like a commander speaking to his troops were it not for the fact that the 'commander' is a tiny girl in a kimono dress and she is more worried about her socks than goblins.

Ellowin tries to hide her smile as the sheriff chants the song, I can't believe I got him to sing it. ...I should have asked him if there was a dance, too!
After Yui's inspirational speech, Ellowin can no longer contain it and bursts out laughing, raising her mug of mead, "To Team Yui, who will bring back the mostest ears and soggiest of socks!"
Fletcher wrinkles his nose in distaste.
Call that a song...? Goblins don't sing, they just screech like fighting cats
Hemlock red faced, looks at the group as they laugh. "I'll be off then, I have preparations for defence. Of the lost road." He bows and then heads for the door.
Ameiko steps up the the bar. "You better bring spare socks then." She smiles.
