Roland's voice booms out through the fog, laced with a hint of magic. Ird seems unaffected by the spell, although he does certainly seem scared nonetheless! (intimidate check = success!) "SIR ROLAND DE RIDONPORT! Acck! Ird will be good! Hurry back and find orbs for Ird, please! [small]and please no hurt me please no hurt me[/small]"
Ird stares at Naia, but also frantically scans the fog for signs of Roland, who scares the crap out of him: "You think goblin chief a fool? How you think chief become chief? Not by listening to lying woman folk *spit*. You can just tell Ird truth, and admit that you are scared of drow elves! Scary cats! Well, you best hurry on back, and get that dark elf out of my sight! "Ird cares not what you do or go, so long as it doesn't harm goblins of Ird! But if you don't come back, goblin tribe come find you, and burn everything along the way! You made deal with Ird! Do not go back on deal! Or I eat your bones in my stew!"
Cheif Ird snaps to attention, dropping his roast rat to the ground in astonishment. "WHO DER? WHO DER!? BOYS, WE ARE UNDER ATTACK FROM DIRTY DROW AND THEIR MIND TRICKYS!!"
Round 2 "BAH! WHO ARE YOU MONSTERS?! DID THE DARK ONES SEND YOU TO KILL US FOR GOOD!? YOU WILL NOT TAKE IRD WITHOUT BIG FIGHT DARK ELVES! IRD WILL MAKE YOU PAY!!" He then begins chanting and jumping up and down, reciting jibberish in goblin. His eyes begin to glow red and he gets a pained look at his face. Then, with a thunderous boom, Ird passes the most vile wind that has ever been passed, goblin or any other race included! From his rear end, a thick cloud of mist begins to spread out in a 20' radius from the goblin Chief. The cloud is so thick that you can barely even see through it, and Ird essentially vanishes. _______________________
You overhear the majority of a speech Chief Ird is giving: "Mighty Goblins! Ird know that big booms in the deep earth frighten us! Ird know that nasty dark elves have found way up to ancient fortress. Ird know that ancient fortress was once mighty goblin fortress and bravest goblin tribes lived here! Ird also knows that ancient Orb of Fury still hidden in fortress!... "Brave goblins! We must face our fear of nasty dark skins and nasty evils they must have, and nasty scary earthquakes, and retrieve goblin artifact and bring great honor to all goblin kind!"
Chief Ird's beady red eyes light up, and he lifts his massive girth up and towards the party (Ird is extremely fat, even for a goblin chief.) He extends a fat stubby hand as if to offer a handshake. "Ah.... that is good good news you give to Ird! If you longshanks look about you carefully, your eyes will learn that we stand in the courtyard of citadel! Citadel fell into earth long long ago. Entrance is just on other side of courtyard. Goblins don't know of any other entrance, but we suspect dirty Drow have some secret way..." The goblins part, spears still in hand, and create an opening for you to all proceed deeper into the ravine, presumably towards the courtyard and the entrance. The farther you go this way, large amounts of rubble and broken stone litter the ground. "We be waiting right here for longshanks to return"
Chief Ird's eyes grow wide with fear and he see's the mighty Aasimar Warpriest surrounded by his small army approaching. Involuntarily, all the goblins start slowly backing up. "Aaaah! Mighty longshanks, what business do you have here? This citadel once belong to ancient goblin tribe for many year! We come to reclaim what is ours! But... dirty dark elves have come up from the Deep Down Below, and have taken goblin fortress! Mighty goblin orb of rage in ruins! If goblin's only have mighty orb, they could destroy all the dark ones! Chief Ird not a coward, Chief Ird just knows it important to save goblin lives, and goblin lives will be taken from dark elves! Perhaps... goblins can make deal with mighty longshank warriors. We will let you pass, and we will not kill longshanks, if longshanks help with drow problem and bring us orb!" |
