Aendell

He nods. "Any more details about this being? In the meantime lets make note of which tribes seem to be on which side. We might be able to use that information."

Selaim

The young elf glances over her shoulder occasionally but mainly focused on their surroundings. She had no thoughts on what was said behind her. It was all gobbledygook to her. But she nodded in agreement with what Aendell suggested.

Catalena

Catalena repeated her question to the goblin. "What is the thing offering the rewards? Have you seen it?"

And she added another. "Is the fighting between separate tribes or within all of the tribes about following the being?"

The goblin shook his head violently, which obviously caused it pain, despite Cat's healing. All of the tribes now follow. There were a few of us who didn't want to, but we were made to join. That is why we attacked the town, it was part of the plan."

Selaim

Heard words streaming from the creature's mouth and glanced back at Cat and Coral to gather some clue of what the thing was saying.

"You two seem speechless. What is it? What did that thing say?"

Coral

She translated the Goblin's words for Selaim.

She looked back at the goblin, and asked it, "What was the rest of the plan?"

The little creature shrugged and grimaced at the pain. "We were supposed to attack the town. We did. Then I got set out to cut down those who wouldn't go along with the plan. I am supposed to return to the gathered tribes for the next stage."

She translated for the others and then asked the goblin, "Where are the tribes gathered?"

The goblin seemed reluctant to answer that question.

[ooc: Going to take a persuasion, or intimidation or something else rp wise to get him to give up that information.]

Coral

She cast an empathy spell

Coral Empathy spell
Angrboða rolled d10 d6 and got 2, 4


A simple success - so +1

Coral Persuade [+1]
Angrboða rolled d8 d6 and got 5, 3


so a 6

"You have to help us stop this. You saw how many goblins died in the town. Whoever is organising this clearly does not care about goblin lives."
"Tell us where they are all gathering and we will see if we can put a stop to this."

Selaim

Hearing the translation from Coral Selaim glances at Aendell and then the others in turn a puzzled look on her face.

"I thought we'd killed all the ones who attacked the town. Was that just a small raid from this group?"

Catalena

The traveling singer-cum-guardswoman answered Selaim, "No. We know that some were in the graveyard and some of the ones in the town fled. There were too many fires across the town to tie it just to the ones we fought. But it sounds like it was never a plan that their entire clans attacked at once. As I said before, there are far far more of them than what we'd seen."

Aendell

"So then what was the point? If it was part of some bigger plan what did it do?"

The goblin shrugged and grimaced. "What can I do. You don't care about goblin lives either." He said matter-of-factly.

Selaim

"I don't know gobbledygook but I know I am hearing similar words over and over. Are we getting anywhere with that thing or should we cut our loses? Wait or would he be an asset? Would anyone want to buy this thing?"

Catalena

"We know that they took Ezakein Tobyn's body from the family crypt," Cat reminded Zeim. "So, at least that. And the footprints included someone bigger than a goblin's."

She asked the goblin a third time, "Who or what has been telling the clan leaders what to do?"

To Selaim, she said, "There are still things to learn from him. What do you mean 'buy this thing'?"
