Noted.

"Your chest will do just fine, troll," said Caliban. He turned to the tuaren. "How about you?"

Where is everyone :(

Plainstrider is still here.

I'm still here as well.

Game is waiting on Plainstrider

"My people do not allow branding, as other races use this as an excuse to mock them."

Caliban was taken aback with that. Tauren didn't allow branding. "Well, if you don't take a tattoo, you can't be apart of the tribe," said Caliban.

"You have Tauren in tribe? You do good. He be first. Make a new rule. Where a symbol. Like necklace or ring. Zul'Jin think a this work."

"You want Caliban to forgo tradition and use a ring symbol?" Caliban asks. "How will Caliban know that he will be trusted?"

"How does one know that you are to be trusted?"

"He not elf, but Zul'Jin a kill him if he betray."
Bluff: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
He's not really lying here. He would probably kill anyone that betrayed him, he's just lying about the context of the group betrayed :)

"It's a called faith. Zul'Jin a shaman, blessed by gods. We a supposed to be here. You a do."

"Okay, something simple like an amulet, yes?" Caliban wondered.

Zul'Jin gives a simple nod awaiting his companions reply.

Plainstrider nods as well.

"Caliban will prepare an amulet using our keys," said Caliban. "Although this is highly irregular. But Caliban will do it."

"Good, Now we all friends. When we a get to a kill elves? What a we do?"

"Caliban senses that you want to kill elves," Caliban said. "You sound pretty eager, so we'll set up some raids for you to do."

"Caliban smart. Zul'Jin need a make a name for himself. So a what we do now?"

"Be patient, Caliban will set up a raid," Caliban said. "The Elves are filthy barbarians."

"So we wait a you to contact? You give a us place to stay? What benefit of a joining group beside killing a elves."

"Yes, you wait until Caliban sets up something," said Caliban. "Something that is hidden takes time to reveal, yes?"

"Zul'Jin a ready now. Zul'Jin a always wait."

Trying to move us along. I have nothing to do until Caliban has something for us to do.

"Then perhaps Caliban can give you something to do," Caliban says. "Part of your initiation, you are to steal an idol from an Elven encampment. It's always in a shrine at the center of the encampment. Steal it for Caliban, and we will consider you part of the Burning Blade. Yes?"

"The spirits dwell in many such places."

"Kill elves take idol. Zul'jin understand. Sound a easy enough. Where encampment? Zul'Jin a ready a go now."

Caliban produced a map of the area. "This is orc horde territory, here," he said as he pointed. "This is human territory here," Caliban pointed to the area beyond the Caspian Sea. "Here is elf territory." Caliban then pointed to the mountains.

He then produced a second map. "There is an encampment of the barbarian elves here. Just all filled up with elves ready to invade us and rape Caliban's women. The Burning Blade believes that a good defense is a good offense. Go to this encampment, take the idol in the center and leave. That's all you have to do."

Zul'Jin nods

"Easy. Where a we take idol. We a come back here? Or Burning Blade have a place we go?"

"Caliban would like you to take it here," he said as he pointed to a place on his map. "Its called the Cave of Mysteries. Here, the Burning Blade leaders will await your return."

"I a understand. We return soon. What a idol look like. All elveny stuff look a same. Want a make sure grab right thing."

"It's a golden treant about this size," said Caliban. He had made a gap with his hands.

"Then let us be off." says Plainstrider as he rises to leave.

Zul'Jin nods.

"Very good. Zul'Jin a get golden tree."

He stands ready to go with Plainstrider.

"Good luck going," said Caliban. "Although how you are going to do so without a rogue is beyond Caliban's expectations."

"Rogue steal, Zul'Jin not a steal. Zul'Jin a take. Better that away. No one to a steal back." He smiles.

"Well, of course," said Caliban. "Don't forget to buy supplies for your journey."

Back from the holiday :)

"Zul'Jin a know. We a go now, be a back soon."

So my plan is to not really go raid, Caliban gave enough info about meeting the leaders that we can report back, possible have a golden tree idol decoy mocked up and the horde send a brute squad in to kill/take any of the leaders. Even if they were planning an attack on the horde they may not admit it but cutting off their head will should make them easier to eliminate. After leaving Caliban Zul'Jin will go run this by the warchief they took the job from and see if they agree. He will report the elven camp and that they should crush it and take the tree anyway for the horde :)

Killing two birds with one stone? Maybe I should give you an xp bonus for ingenuity. Are you volunteering to be apart of elven camp raid?

Both, if possible. Or neither and move on to next objective :) If one has to be chosen above the other then killing elves it is. I also got the tattoo assuming I can cut it away and regenerate. Something I will do when we get a couple days down time.

I doubt it will be that easy Zul'jin.

Shall we continue?

Ayup.

Okay, is the group buying supplies? Or are they going to take idol, have it duplicated, and pull a fast one on the Burning Blade?

The Idea was the info was given to the horde, so now we duplicate the idol and pull a fast one. Raid the Elves after. No reason to risk that before taking care of the burning blade.

lol.

Alright. Lets get this show on the road, although I've been thinking of opening recruitment so you guys won't be short. Are you going to return to the Adventuring Cow Company with the news, or are you going to tell a guard?

"Come we a go back to Adventuring company tell a war chief of plan."

To be honest, I don't think this game is for me. I am going to drop from it. It's not anything about it, I just think that it would be better suited to others. Please remove me from the active characters, and good luck with the recruitment!

Sorry to see you go. I very much would like to keep playing Zul'Jin if we want to try and recruit others. Let me know. :)

I can recruit others. Just need three others and we have a full party.

Sad no one wants to play with ZUl'Jin ;(
