The meal is ready when you arrive to the tower after a long  day out. Young goblins barely 3 years old move around  making a nuisance of themselves. The women are talking and preparing for the events that will come  later. 

The excitement is almost palpable. 

As each of you enters Hiss beckones you to the deeper part of the complex. A meeting  with the Boss it seems. 

"Hiya gals," Snizram says to the lady goblins preparing the food on his way into the tower. "Seems like somethin' excitin' going on. Know what all tha fuss is?"

Hiss's voice cracks like a whip. " Get in here you dunk-eaters..." 

Júhk stuffs his face with every kind of fried mushroom on the table, if there aren´t any mushrooms. He will just eat dry bread and meat. "So Boss... What is so important that i have to socialize?.. Not to be rude against the boss, but i hate all of your guts and want to be left alone with my mould! Unless it is something really important of course.."

 Belch reveals himself and with a smile says, "How'd you know I was here?" 

He hustles by and walks into step next to the female mentioning the wolves, saying in a low, almost conspiratorial tone, "So, werewolves, eh? Tell us more - you can trust us to not talk - none of us are old and boring - we want to hear more!"

Then, in a whisper so that only she could hear, "Why'd Boss send you out?"

Grinzek searches the spread for a couple pieces of burnt meat, he had recently gotten a taste for overcooked flesh. He grabs two hunks of the blackened... meat (he couldn't even identify what animal it had come from), one for each hand, before heading deeper into the complex as he had been beckoned.

What have I done wrong this time? he wondered to himself, tearing bit of flesh as he walked. He braced himself for the worst as he entered the Boss' chamber.

Quote from TheG111 >>

 

"You couldn't wait." she shakes her head but seems amused, " Get the others and come join us down there." 

"OKAY i will bear with you, but get on with it then. You seem just as impatient with me as i am with getting rid of you. So we are doing each other a favour here if we get this over with quickly". Júhk pockets a piece of plain bread and sits the patiently. Or.. As patiently as a grumpy old goblin can sit.

Snizram double-takes at Tchuppa's comment and concern grows on his face. I don't much like the sound of that. He eventually shrugs and continues down into the chamber at the behest of Hiss, joining Juhk and any of the others that may have gathered. 

OOC: Waiting on the two last players to make a move then we can begin in earnest. 

Creega remains well hidden. Hiss seems to be actively looking for the late comers from where she stands. 

Jungar sits on his throne. A huge armchair dripped with rotting furs of dubious provenance he looted form the former owners chambers. At his side Hiss watches over the four squirming youngers goblin that followed her in.

"So we have decisions to make. " he says in a clear voice shutting up the few babbles still going on. 

"Wolves to the North. Dwarves to the south. Broken Ear goblin clan to the east and human village to the west." 

"If we want to survive and expand our territory we need to gather food and things ( you hear treasure) and allies. "

The wolves would make nice pets or addition to my chair.  He chuckles, a very ugly sound.

The camp of dwarves is just a group of prospectors but they may have found a nice cave. And they always have nice things to take.

The traitorous Broken Ear clan are weak and their leader needs to be put down and the rest brought into our clan. They would makes stronger and more more.

The village can wait because it is still just a tavern but it might be a good place to get food. And have fun.

What do you think he asks.. looking at you all. After all you'll be the one going. Again he chuckles, that throaty almost sick hackle.

"WELL!" Júhk taps his finger in the table lightly, but shouts with the might of an old goblin. "I am not particularly fond of this clan. But it is better than ANY other clan.. I suppose.. I mean YES! We don´t need any backstabbing kinsmen when we are at war with just about every other race and group in this Bargrivyek-damn place."

Júhk slides down in his chair and lights up his mould filled pipe. He blows a small puff of smokes and grunts, as if to say that he has said his part.

"I could always use a few more friends to add to my audience," muses Belch. 

"Destroy the backstabbers" Grinzek squeaks, not sure whether anyone would actually want his opinion. "The traitors must be handled before they have a chance to strike."

Snizram muses over the options lain before him. Agreeing with some of the other party members he adds, "I think we take care of the traitors first.They're smarter than some silly wolves, so I think they be the bigger threat."

Belch interjects, "Remember what boss said - take down the Broken Ear's leader and then tell confused Broken Ear goblins to join our clan.  I don't think we should kill my new fans - I mean - our new clan members.... unless they don't want to join - then we break more than their ears."

 Jungar gives a little laugh. 

"Break the ears .. nice one."  He looks at everyone and the silence stretches. The groveling few start to fake laugh but a second too late. 

"What say the others?" Hiss asks, eyes rolling to the cave ceiling in exasperation.

"Seems we all be in aggreement," Snizram states. "Let's see if we can't get those Broken Ears to join us by taking out their leader."
