Trouble at Brandonsford!

[badams30]

Mort shrugs at the suggestion of watching the goblins. He says "I reckon I can watch em'. But do you think that king fella would be well disposed to us coming in to his little place with his boys tied up?" Mort smiles at the goblins (both of whom are intently listening to the conversation) and says "hey fellas, my friends are good people, and they wont hurt you if you're being honest. You saw what they did to your buds, if you double cross em', they'll get ya. I've seen em kill a couple dozen orcs without workin' up a sweat. You know what I mean?"

The goblins, wide eyed, glance at each other and then Mort and shake their heads vigorously. "No, we not trick anyone. Hogboon asked all of us to look for peoples who were strong enough to get that dragon, and do whatever we need to do to get em' to come see him. That dragon been eating our clan and nothin' we done has made a difference. Hogboon just wants to be rid of dragon, and if you can do it, he'll give you big BIG reward."

The goblins nod enthusiastically at you all...

Sythandra the elf stifles a smirk as Mort talks trash about the party defeating orcs. She then thinks about the orcs that desecrated the dryad grove, and her smirk fades. She looks at the goblins, her emotions conflicted, and says nothing.

Dewplo nods in agreement with Eerik... as he gulps & chews the last chunk o'cheese.

Jocasta is not in favour of keeping hostages.

[greyarea]

Okay, let us speak to this goblin chieftain without hostages, says Hugi. I hope you speak in truth, goblin. We would hate to need to destroy your whole clan.

Hugi eats a chunk of cheese and mumbles I hope I don’t regret this.

Taking a bit of wood as a toothpick....nudging his gum. Half odds, I would think.
