Welcome to Glukmil quest!

In this quest actions are decided, if they have a reasonable chance of failing, on a d20 roll. Rolling under the related stat: BODY, MIND, or TALK, is a success. Hitpoints decrease by one per successful attack, unless the scale of the attack is stupidly large, which will do more. Thus, suggesting an action requires an action as well as a roll. You may suggest which stat to use, but you can't use an axe with TALK. Be reasonable. As GM, I get final say on which stat applies or if an action is possible.

You can roll by typing 'dice 1d20' in the email field. Things like "walking" don't require rolls. Things like "Jumping across the twenty foot chasm" require rolls at a penalty which I will take off of your result.

/quest/ is just a collection voices in Glukmil's head. The actions aren't necessarily always going to be followed.

Bleh. Uh, can you hear me? I'm Glukmil. The trader girl said this potion would make me hear people that could help me with whatever I'm trying to do. I'm trying to find a friend of mine. He went to get stuff from the dwarves!

Uh, I'd also like to get some stuff from them. Like shoes, or maybe a sword, or something.

See down there? That's the dwarf camp! There are a lot of them. I think some of those people over there are humans but I don't know.

I moved closer!

It's easy to hide in forests. No one ever looks in the trees. Dwarves don't like trees I think.

There's a river and a bridge.

I don't know what to make of it. There's taller people than dwarves and they are going in and out of a big building.

Do you think Hirblim could be in the building?

Ok I went to the post for the bridge.

I think I saw one of them look at me but I don't know. I hope they didn't see.

There are dwarves and taller people. It looks like the dwarves are talking to the taller people. They are moving boxes around.

There are some fish in the water. I like fish. You can cook them and they taste good.

We should probably wait till the caravan leaves, so we don't get made into ground meat. Then as the dorfs are unloading the trade depot, sneak in between haulers, and snatch as much as we can, then run for it.

I tried to sneak down the river but there was a rock and I hit it with my toe. I made a noise and I think a dog heard me. It's barking on the other side of the river!

Oh and there are some rocks here. I think I can cross on them. The water is splashing around on them and it looks sort of fun. The dog looks mad though.

You hit a rock with your toe and a dog far across the other side of the river heard you? That dog is clearly a dog god, so I'd be careful of that if I were you. Anyway, I'd say... cross the stones and use your Wild Empathy skill to tame/seduce the dog.

I swam back ok!

Though I got pulled down the river a little by the water. I saw some stones under the water near this side. There was a hole! It looked like something dwarves might make. It might go into their fort!

Ok so I need to think.

I can go across the bridge near all the people and the dwarves. It's easy but there's people and they might see me.

I can maybe try the rocks again but they are slippery and there was a dog.

Also there's that other thing but I don't know much about it. But it's underwater!

My ear itches.

No leeches.

I take a deep breath! The water is still cold and it's dark inside the dwarf place.

Dwarf things are weird. All straight lines and big blocks.

There's bars! They are far enough apart that I might be able to fit through, but I don't know. There are some bones too. Not enough for a whole dwarf though. Maybe something ate them. Also there are some things.

What should I do?

I got stuck for a bit but then I got free. The helmet wouldn't fit!

There was also a grate but most of it was gone so I can get through easy. My chest kind of hurts.

I can see light up this bend! But it's kind of hard to see anything else there. There's some bones on the floor but I don't want to think about them.

Untie (or cut) the rope from the bucket and the floor. Tie the rope around yourself - it might prove to be useful later on.

Also shove the bucket into the hole and make it sink. That'd learn 'em.

I tied the rope around me after I cut it. There's a lot of rope even though the hole was pretty full. I don't know why they'd need so much.

The bucket won't sink though! It's wood so it floats.

I stand on my toes and put my ear on the door but the top half flopped over like always. I can hear some dwarves talking in their stupid language. I don't think they are right outside the door but I don't know. Also I hear some cats.

There's a cat outside I think, but I don't see any dwarves. The voices are from my left, but I can't see enough from here to know what. To the right I can hear laughing but it sounds like mean laughing.

I snuck over to the laughing! There was another door so I went through it.

I came into a big room! There are a bunch of barrels to this side and some boxes and things on the other side. Also there's some empty cages near the big hole that is most of the room.

The hole seems really deep but I can't see the bottom!

There's also a big wooden structure that goes over the hole. It's sort of just half a bridge. There are some dwarves on it!

There's also a door on the wall of the room if I go to my right. I could probably get there while the dwarves are doing whatever they are doing.

Then there was a loud noise and some wooden things below the big thing kind of broke, and then the big thing pulled itself down into the pit!

There are two exits from this room. So open the other barrels, pour out all the liquid in front of the door you first came in through. Once the dwarfs enter they will either go down on their knees to save the precious booze or they will follow you, in either case let them advance a bit into the room and then throw a burning torch into the liquid.

I made it inside this room! But it's small. It's some tables and some rock chips all over the ground and some cabinets and things. There's also a big box of little weird rocks in shapes. The room sort of smells like dwarves and bones and rocks. Kind of like most of the fort.

The cabinets have metal tools in them. Some knives but they are not too sharp and some weird hammers and little flat things with rock dust on them and some other things too. I don't know what most of these things do. There's lots of room in the cabinets if I wanted to hide there.

I push on the box of rocks but maybe I should hide instead. I could tip it over if I should.

I don't think I have much time before the dwarves get in here!

There is a little thing made out of cloth that sort of looks like a kobold! Also the shoes that are too big :<

Also there's some shiny little pieces of metal that are round and have a hammer on one side and a cow on the other.

There's a big metal thing that is heavy like it is full of some water or something. There's a sun on it! It's made of some shiny metal.

Also there is a mushroom and some bugs.

The mushroom tastes kinda mushroomy. It's ok. It's purple!

The sun stuff is sweet smelling but also sort of like that mushroom stuff before. It smells like those yellow berries that Hirblim found sometimes.

The hammer that is under the bed is the little hammer I got from that box! It's stone. The other hammer in the room is big and made of some gray shiny metal. It looks really heavy. It's the size for a dwarf to use in one hand maybe.

It's way too strong to pull off with my hands!

I poke the knife into the hole and move it around but not much happens. I don't really know what I'm doing. The goblin talks more of its language and then stops and says "metal stick you need" in kobold but it has a bad accent.

The dwarf is still in the room I think! I heard some metal jingling by the door and a click?

You must turn your mind to escape! You've freed a Dwarven Prisoner, dwarves hate that. And you've helped her out! Focus on this!

Try asking about escape in your best dwarven or goblin. Rolling Talk!

Also, many Dwarven fortresses have a lever that destroys the fortress. I'm personally against this idea, revenge can wait for later, but if we're going to try to hurt the dorfs anyway this is the best way.

Er, another question, is she too big to work through the bars like you did?

I have some things from the dwarves. I know they don't like kobolds taking things they need, so maybe taking some more things would make them mad.

I think the goblin is too fat to get through the bars like I did. If she wants to get out she will have to go another way.

I look up at the goblin and she looks very sad and sits down and pulls me close to her. She's warm. I guess... I guess I feel a little better :<

Lets get you a steel weapon. They value those so it'd be some good revenge. I think you are too small for a long sword (and dwarves don't make them anyway), so how about you find a dwarven knife. It'd be sword sized for you. You could also get a dwarven short sword, but it'd be two big to hold in one hand.

The box has some things in it!

There are some swords that are metal but with brown spots and blood spots. Some clothes too! Some of the clothes are metal. There are a couple kobold-sized clothes but they are like mine. There are also a lot of bones but they are mixed up and broken so I can't tell what they are from!

unless there are kobold sized pants (pants would be way better than that loincloth you've got), then you should move on. I'd suggest sneaking to where the hall turns, and then checking those doors.

When you go, signal Usmka to hide in there until you are sure the way is clear. Listen at the doors before you go through them too.

Take some swords, if they are too big for you then offer them to Usmka. If there's any bags or belts, take/wear them unless you plan on using a sock for that sort of thing.

If there's any chainmail stuff for the torso in either Usmka's or your size, take and wear that. If there's any kobold or goblin sized pants, take them. Ladies shouldnt have to wear loincloths. Same goes for shoes.

This looks like a pile of stuff they took of caged prisoners, I doubt they will have any dwarven made obsidian weapons. I also don't think chain armor is a good idea, as it means more noise (its a sneaking mission).

Though if they have obsidian here a obsidian sword would be perfect for Glukmil.

This is a big room! It's all engraved and the engravings are lined with a shiny yellowy metal. There are some big brown mushrooms in the corners, in little stone containers. There's a nice table in the middle of some really smooth black stone, like my knife but not all chipped and sharp! On the table is a half-full cup of some black drink and some coins and some pieces of paper with lots of writing.

There's also some statues in the back of the room and a lot of doors!

Take the coins and put them in one of your socks. Take the writing, too, never know if you'll meet someone who can read it. Examine the statues quickly, *then* check out the wailing.

And dont let that gobby keep you from taking the coins and writing, money is important and so is information. Wailing, unless it's a beast or something, can wait.

I took some of the coins! There's symbols on both sides but I don't know what they mean. I had to tie up the sock full of coins with some of the rope to keep it on my belt.

I rolled up the paper too and put it in my belt too.

Hey I knocked over the cup but it smells bad!

It's dark in here! The light from outside helps a little though.

There's some things in here but mostly the room is empty. The walls and floor are engraved with lots of things! I think the room is mostly empty so they can show off the engravings!

There's noises coming from the little box on legs over there near the armor. The on the other side of that box is a barrel with a little thing on the bottom with a small pipe or something. In the corner with the light shining on it is a weird box with a glass top and what looks like a knife under the glass.

On the other wall there's a desk with some papers and a chair. Also there's a little glass container there and some little statue of a kobold!

On the back wall there is another door and also a rack with lots of big weapons. :<

The little latch is just a pin holding a piece of metal closed! There's tiny holes behind the pin though and I don't like them.

We go into the first room!

Usmka heard the dwarves too and she sat next to the hole! She looks scared and sad but I don't know how to fix that.

The dwarves sound like they are still coming. If they are coming in here I have maybe a minute to do things!

Is there anything I should do to get ready?
>>

if the door swings open then hide by the wall behind the joint, the part that stays on the wall, so they can' see you when they come in until they close the door, try to get usmka to go there too. then when the dwarf passes by you jam the sharp knife in the back of their neck.

We hide behind the door! The dwarves come to right outside the door and talk loudly for a while!

The hole is dark and leads to some rushing-sounding water below it! It might be an underground river or something?

I make that signal to Usmka, and she gets a little... yellower? But she nods slightly.

I creep out of the door! The other door is already open a little though. I hear a dwarf in there say something but no one responds. I don't hear the other dwarves right now but there's a lot of loud yelling and laughing and clinking glass distantly in the hall to the south.

Anyway, we left the room and went across the hall! There's a lot of dwarf noise to the south but its kind of dark underground and I can't see how many dwarves are making the noise. It's a lot though.

Inside there's a lot of weird things. There's a dwarf in a weird hat. He's wearing leather gloves and holding a bucket and ladling things into a another bucket.

There's a fire in a stone box over there and a grid on top of metal. It's kind of hot in the room.

Usmka helps me lift the big bar blocking the door. It opens after that.

The room is kinda boring! There's a door on the other side with some big word over it. There's also a big pit in the floor with stairs going down! They go down at least twenty times as far as my height!

The pit is a lot of stairs! They go down forever! Well, for a long way anyway. I don't see anyone using any of the stairs but it gets pretty dark down there.

Hmm, it's hard to tel what she is trying to say. It seems like "Why is it locked? Kezat is danger. Umska is worried".

Kezat is dwarf for danger and ugot is goblin for danger, so I think she is trying to tell you it is dangerous. Omstu means worried.

There's no reason to say here. Dangerous places are what we are trying to avoid.

Glukmil, we need to get outside. If you know where the underwater tunnel is, we can use that to figure out which direction the main entrance is. I personally don't think the main entrance is the best bet though. The best bet would be to find an isolated dwarf, disarm it, and then have Umska interrogate it as to the location of any quieter secondary exits.

Doors near the noble place? I guess that's the nice area over there!

There's also a single dwarf in that room with the fat and things, but you told me not to fight him!

I think Dwarves lack ladder technology.

I'd like to interrogate the kitchen dwarf if possible. We need Umska to understand the plan and help though, she needs to do the questioning unless you'd like me to try to translate for you (it'd be bad). Tell Umska lozasp an ust^x kengku *point to kitchen where you saw the dwarf*. slosax kengku. zuko kengku, 'tda buru ix kengku, 'tda osnor zadkel.

It's kind of a poor translation, but I don't exactly have a goblin english phrasebook here. The literal translation would be "quiet cook, contain cook, dominate cook, find plan from cook, find exit corridor." I know it sounds strange, but goblin language doesn't have many of the words (such as question or interrogate) that would make this easy to say. This should basically translate to "Shut up the cook, trap and interrogate him to find an exit, and then lets leave".

If she agrees (or even understands), then I'll tell you what you need to say to the dwarf when you sneak up behind him.

Ok let's see!

You told me to avoid dwarf noise and there's noise towards the bedroom hall! I can go look there if you are sure.

Also the pit is in the same direction and there were no ladders when I was there. But I can look again! Also the pit has to go somewhere I guess. Maybe there's a way out at the bottom?

I don't really know how to say goblin words! But I try, and Usmka looks at me strangely and then sort of makes a face and snorts a little, and then nods. I guess I said it right?

The dwarf is still here! He's just standing in front of a bucket full of whatever and watching it. It stinks in here. Also the bucket is making bubbling noises.

How should I trap him or make it so he can't hurt us? He's a lot bigger than Usmka or me.

You aren't going to trap him per say, you are going to threaten his life if he doesn't be quiet. Sneak up behind him and put your knife to his back, and say "kas u nokor", which should mean quiet or dead. Make sure he can feel the point of his knife. After that, I'm hoping Umska can communicate well enough to question him.

Be prepared to kill him if he doesn't co-operate. Also, be ready to run back to a more appropriate hiding spot.

The flowers on the table smell pretty good even though they are dried out. Before I can do much else though, Usmka jumps up and slices the dwarf's neck!

She falls backward when the dwarf's head comes off. She looks at the knife with surprise. I don't think she knew how sharp it was.

She starts to hand me the knife, pauses, and then bends down and scratches out a map on the floor! I add it to my mental map of the place.

Usmka looks at me a moment, and then returns the knife slowly. I gave her the baby back!

Ok!

So the dark room was for nobles or something. There's a big place with boxes to the south and also a dining room and a room for violent dwarves! Also the way out.

The nobles have a tunnel out too!

Also there's some other things!

I guess there used to be more stuff downstairs but now there isn't? I don't know why!

Usmka puts her lips on my head for a second and then says "Usmka wan Glukmil za sostu, kan nous duba." She's smiling so I guess that's good?

Where should we go? We only know about three exits! There's the main one with the dining room and barracks near it, the water tunnel that Usmka probably couldn't get through, and the tunnel in the noble place but we don't even know how to get into that.

I can only read the nouns and verbs, but I think she just said "Umska and Glukmil are free, now lets run".

Obviously it's time to head back to the nobles rooms and figure out how to use that exit. Be on guard though, secondary entrances are frequently guarded by chained up animals, and even though they are noble housing I find dwarves will us whatever path they like to get where they want, so we could still run into one leaving.

And I'm curious, that knife I think is masterwork, but does the metal have a blue-ish tinge to it? If it beheads dwarves with a stroke like that it might be adamantine.

First the water is getting up to about my ankles :<

There's a door on this wall! I think it moves in but I can't move it! It's pretty well hidden!

Also you can turn one of their horns and also you can take their eyes out! Also their axes can be pulled down! Also there's a hole in one of their beards that goes down into the statue!

But this is a lot of weird stuff I don't know what to do with!

I pour what's left of the spilled beer in there, and some water that got into the glass! There's a slow grinding noise inside the statue that I assume is good!

The gems don't fit in the statue's mouth!

The water stops flowing! The doors all clacked again.

But the hidden door didn't do anything.

So I will think about it! It's supposed to be an emergency thing. Maybe one dwarf can't do it alone or something? Like to stop bad dwarves or maybe kobolds from using it to escape the fort alone?

I'm just guessing!

The passage is kinda dark but there's light from the noble room behind us and also somewhere up ahead of us so it's ok!

Keep going, but be extra quiet. Sometimes dwarves post tied up animals at these secondary entrances. Also, you are probably still in dwarf territory, so keep sneaking until you are a good distance away.

I pass the note to Usmka. She says it says "If you don't have yours, the key is over the doormat" but that doesn't make sense!

I point to the floor and say that and Usmka nods. I think she understands? The floor block that is separate looks like it might be able to move down if you stepped on it. I can't really see the ceiling close enough but maybe it would fall?

Also the window is big enough for kobolds and maybe for Usmka. I guess the dwarves didn't think about non-dwarves when making the exit. I could probably break the glass with my dagger or something; it looks pretty thin!

I hit the glass with the hammer! It breaks pretty easily. There's glass now but most fell outside and some inside. I can probably take the rest out of the little slot in the stone that is holding it. Then we could crawl through without being cut!

The stone trap? I think you have to stand on it to trigger it. I don't know how to otherwise!

There's no traps that I can see outside by looking out there. There's a tree and the mountain is there and the rocks have some moss on them. There's no road or anything though.

Anyway we start to move a little faster! I also found a neat place that kind of sticks out so I went over and looked down! Usmka didn't want to come too!

It's the whole world!

There's lots of trees below in the big forest that covers everything. Near the dwarf a lot of them are cut down though! On this side of the river down there theres also a lot of land with no trees but lots of dead trees and rocks and things.

There's mountains over there and they go around too except where the ocean is. There's a town of tall people over there and they grow plants to eat because they are weird!

Also there's a big black fortress way over there. I point to it and Usmka smiles and squeezes my shoulder. Maybe she lives there?

My home is over the river and through the woods! You can't see it though because we don't cut down trees and things so it's under the leaves!

Ok!

We kept moving a couple hours! But now it's the middle of the night. I can see pretty OK but Usmka keeps tripping over things and the baby keeps making noise because it can't sleep I think. Plus I can't really tell if things are moving around. There's noise but it's hard to say if it is Usmka or other things.

So I looked around for some places! There's a couple. We can just hide in the woods over there, there's a little dark copse of trees. We maybe could hide in there, but there's no low branches so we couldn't really climb the trees.

There's also a weird thing that is maybe dwarven? It's quiet and dark and has a big stone door. We could maybe get in there and close the door and it seems like maybe it would be pretty safe.

Also there's a little crack in some rocks. Maybe it's a cave or maybe it's just a little crack. Either way it's dark in there and we could hide in there.

Or I guess we could keep going anyway, but we'd have to go slow because Usmka can't see or something. :<

Ok we got into the crack in the rocks!

It's pretty big inside I think those rocks fell over a natural cave. It's a flat floor and big enough to hide easily. Usmka picked up a lot of little rocks and blocked the entrance and I helped once I saw what she was doing! The cave smells sorta like dirt and that's all, so I guess nothing lives here. Also I took the sock off of my nose because it's not bleeding now!

Ok but now we are just sitting here. It's kind of boring but I'm too scared of dwarves and night things to really go to sleep. Usmka rocked the baby back and forth and it got quiet so I guess it is sleeping. She's watching me sit here. She's weird :<

Ok! I move close to her and she smiles and squeezes me against her and it's pretty warm so that's nice I guess?

I draw a little bit of a map on the floor and poke her and she draws some too. Here's what we know of here!

So we are up there at the X and there's mountains around us. Usmka says there's an old road near here that should lead through the mountains and down to the forest. My camp is over there and closer than the Goblin place, but Usmka says she has to go home fast. The baby doesn't have much food and she can't give it any herself. I don't know how any of that works!

I'm learning a little goblin language by you guys translating!

Anyway I don't know about going to the goblin place. Kobolds say that goblins steal kobolds and never give them back and keep them locked up and it's bad. Usmka seems nice but that doesn't mean all goblins are!

I think you should follow her till she reaches her village at least, even though you probably shouldn't stay.

In fact, you should be very careful around goblins. Their culture revolves around power, powerful people are the respected people. They do kidnap people of all races, but they then raise them as their own.

Don't take out that knife unless one of them threatens you (or attacks you). It's so valuable that at least one would get the bright idea that they can take it from you. If you could conceal it while keeping it easy to draw, you should. (I'll roll for that last one.)

I can't decide about where to go and it sounds like you can't either! Also yes I'm full grown, kobolds just don't get all huge like dwarves and goblins.

I move closer to her, but she tells me to put my things on the floor because she's getting poked with my knives and things, so I do.

I tell her she's mine but I'm not sure why you wanted me to say that! She giggles and puts her hand on my nose and says that I'm a cute little thing.

She put the baby on the ground because it was asleep. I asked her about goblins taking kobolds, and she squeezes my snout a little and begins rubbing it gently. Her other hand is on my back. It's really comfortable! She says sometimes they find lost goblin children living with kobolds, like the one she found in the dwarf fort. They take them home and raise them like goblin children should be.

Bluh. I'm awake.

Sorta. It's morning outside the cave. The baby is making stupid noises but not crying. Usmka is laying against the cave wall still asleep. My mouth tastes stupid and I'm still pretty asleep.

Should I wake everyone?

Yeah, wipe off the puddle of drool before she realizes. That will probably wake her up anyway. Then go peek out the hole and take a quick look around.

It tastes stupid!

Anyway I get up and wipe off the drool with Usmka's loincloth because I don't want to mess up mine! I also wipe my nose there.

I look outside. It looks clear so I clear off the rocks so more light can come in!

I don't know how to wake up Usmka so I shook her a little and then rubbed her nose with my hand. She did it to me first so it's ok! Anyway she woke up in after a little and at first jumped and grabbed her sword, then calmed down and smiled and patted my head.

She went outside to take care of the baby and her own things I guess? She also took one of my socks when I wasn't looking! When she came back the baby smelled better.

She smiled but also pointed to her loincloth and said not to go nosing around there :< I said sorry though and she seemed ok and rubbed my nose again.

We looked at the map from last night! Usmka suggests going this way! She also drew a goblin and kobold and some cabbage and corn and meat and said that if we go there I could maybe meet other goblins and kobolds and fall in love and be safe and happy and fed forever.

That sounds good and all but I sorta want to go home!

We still have to go across the bridge and maybe a little farther before we have to make a choice, but should I tell her a different plan now while we have a map and things?

No. 259451 ID: e0a020

Well, she seems to like you, so you may be able to convince her to come with you, but do you really want to take care of her and the baby? They'd be your responsibility if you brought them back to your own village.

If you decide to go with her to her own village, that'd be a completely different life than you are used to. I don't know how your tribe lives, but most kobolds I know live in small huts or complex warrens. Goblins build great towers large enough to house all their people, so you might enjoy living among them.

Thinking further, I really don't think returning to your people is an option. If anyone found out about your adamantine dagger the dwarves wouldn't hesitate to burn your village and the surrounding forest to the ground. The goblins can defend themselves (though I still wouldn't show it to them).

How about a third option. You have some money now, and an excellent weapon. As a kobold I'm sure you've learned how to survive in the wilderness (it's practically instinct with kobold). Why not stop by the goblin tower to get supplies, and then continue traveling. See a bit of the world? You'd want to find someone to teach you very basic human tongue before you left. Regardless, you aren't leaving without escorting Umska back to the goblin tower. If you do decide to travel, explain this to her as you go.
>>
No. 259626 ID: 1854db

The baby needs food. The baby must go straight to the goblin tower.

I think we should go to the goblin tower with Usmka, but afterwards visiting your village would be a good idea. Nothing's keeping you from visiting!

I'm changing this. After the baby's delivered to the tower, you can just go back to your village, and Usmka can visit you.

Ok we head toward Usmka's home!

The path down the mountain was ok and then we crossed the bridge and walked through the forest.

I put up my hands and show they are empty!

Then someone says Usmka's name and she hands me the baby and runs a little forward and hugs another goblin. The goblin with the crossbow looks sort of mad but not at me.

I don't really know what to do. The crossbow goblin is watching the other two goblins hug and Usmka is crying or something and the other goblin is saying things to her in a nice voice.

Goblins are weird.

Okay, I think you need to decide at this point whether you plan to live with the goblins for the rest of your life, or whether you'd rather go home to your own kind... because if you go into that goblin village, they're unlikely to want to let you leave.

If you want to stay, there's no problem, but if you want to leave, best to give the baby to one of the goblins as soon as possible, then make to leave, casual-like, with conversion to full tilt run if they try to force the issue.

It might not, but you don't survive as a kobold without some caution! If the situation develops differently, we can adjust course accordingly, but we all know goblins can be devious in their attempts to claim other species for their villages.

I don't know how to look less threatening than being held at crossbow point with a baby too big to hold! I can't decide what to say so I just wait a few seconds.

The goblin shakes its head and then looks back to me, and kneels down a bit. It speaks in pretty good kobold language!

"So you helped Usmka get out?"

I nod, and tell it she was locked up in a cage. Then I ask the goblin if it's going to shoot me.

The goblin shrugs. "Hope not. It's up to Usmka really. You're too old to take in as a goblin, not that we need more non-goblin children around here anyway. Plus, you probably want to get back to some kobold girl and make a litter of dumb little thieves."

I don't know what to say to that :<

The goblin shakes its head suddenly and sighs. "Sorry, just... been a long day. Look, while Usmka cries all over her sister, why don't you tell me if there's anything of hers that you are carrying, aside from that 'goblin' there. I'm supposed to get tribute from travelers. Assuming she doesn't want you shot."

I'm not carrying anything that is hers! But that should I tell the goblin? Also if it wants me to give it something what should I offer?

Easiest thing you can offer is the coins. The other stuff can be useful to you and your village once you get back there. Coins are for trading, and right now you're trading for the continued absence of a crossbow bolt in your nose. Offer half of them, saying 'her share'

Ok that's sort of a weird thing to say so I fix it! "Usmka is my trebuchet! I don't have anything of hers but I have some things that the dwarves had and she can have half the coins or you can take them! Also I killed some dwarves. Also I sort of want to keep Usmka but I don't know if she'd want me to."

The goblin closes its eyes and sighs, and opens them again slowly. "Ok look, just spread out all the stuff you are carrying here, and we'll talk about what we'll take and what you can keep."

Usmka says something to the goblin I'm talking to, and it nods. "Ok, Usmka said to let you go if you want to, so I will after you pay proper tribute. So calm down, I'm not going to kill you today." It said the word tribute slower and louder than before.

The goblin didn't say anything about keeping Usmka and I don't think she was listening to me talk or would know what I said anyway!

I spread some of my stuff out on the ground. I keep my tunic on and the blue knife is hidden under it since you told me to hide it.

My stone knife
Stone hammer with shiny bits
Rope, about 100 noses long
Shiny necklace
some socks (one has noseblood on it)
Sock full of coins
Rolled up dwarf papers
Four red spinels

The goblin looks over it but looks sorta uninterested in the things. Eventually it looks at me. "Ok, since you're free to go and you seem like a decent enough kobold, I'm taking these coins and gems. They aren't much good to your kind anyway. Is that OK with you?"

Ok! "But Usmka is my tribute! You can't just take all my things!"

The goblin tightens its grip on the crossbow, but then relaxes and closes its eyes, sighing. "Usmka isn't really yours to give, so she doesn't count. But ok, fine. I'd really rather not kill you. I'll take half the gems and gold. I don't know what the hell a kobold is going to do with a sack of coins anyway."

The goblin took the coins and gems and put them in a bag he had nearby. Then he comes back to me. "Looks like the girls are finishing their crying. If there's anything you want to say to Usmka, better say it now. Friendly advice: Don't come back here. Other patrols aren't as forgiving."

Usmka is coming back over here, wiping her eyes. I guess she wants to say goodbye. Is there anything special I should do?

Well Glukmil, I'm kinda sad we are just going to fade from your head. I don't think I've ever enjoyed steering a kobold away from certain death quite so much.

Before we disappear, I'm going to teach you something that'll let you build thing. It's called trigonometry. It works like this. If you get a whole bunch of stick that are the same length, and make a triangle with one side 3 sticks longs, and another 4 sticks long, and the last 5 sticks long, then the corner is always going to be perfectly square. You can build yourself the best kobold hut ever using this information, you just need to make sure you lay out the corners with sticks in this manner first!

Oh, there's a million things we'd teach you to make your and your tribes life better, but hey, limited time. If I can make a recommendation too, if there are any mixed towns around, you should take your money, necklace, and gems to them. You could get some useful tools and supplies if you could find a goblin trader, since you know the basics of the language.

When I got down to the camp Misildi hugged me! Also some other people came by and were happy I was back, but I couldn't hug them because Misildi wouldn't let go.

I showed everyone the things I had and they were really impressed! We split up the coins and the gems and things. I kept the knife but I gave the hammer to Frislablis because he likes to hit things with hammers! Also Gribulish needed some rope so he got that.

It's my tent! All my stuff is still here so that's good too. I have some rocks and some sticks that I sleep on! I thought about the triangle thing and maybe it makes sense? I'll try it later!

I was going to sleep in my tent but Misildi wouldn't let me! She's always worried about me and things. So I slept in her cave instead! I don't know why she's so weird.

She rubbed my nose with hers! Don't tell anyone!

But I don't know if you can hear me 'cause I can't hear you good anymore. But thank you! It was scary but I didn't die so that's good.
