Unfortunate, but not impossible to correct. Once we are done here, I will work with you extensively on the matter." She glances over to Meiva, noting perhaps belatedly the injury.

D.O.R.K cants her head, seeming taken aback only after the last point. "I didn't... Thank you, Keeper... Thank you, Meiva." She holds out a hand for a quick shake. "Clarification. I... No. I will have explain later. For now, understand that there is something I lack that you and Jaylen possess that is of benefit on this matter."She expresses, and on that note sets her focus on Torunn, Devin, and the captured goblin. "Beedo. Vark. Stay on alert."

Jaylen feeds and waters the horses. All the while, assessing which is the most friendly toward her (see spoiler for Jaylen only)
The party watches as after about 10 minutes Jaylen comes out of the Stable and makes 10 trips back and forward from the well in the middle of the Village Square carrying two full buckets of water each time.
Jaylen as you feed and water the horses, one of the riding horses "a small and weedy beast, He was something like a racehorse undersized, With a touch of Timor pony - three parts thoroughbred at least - And such as are by mountain horsemen prized. He was hard and tough and wiry - just the sort that won't say die - There was courage in his quick impatient tread; And he bore the badge of gameness in his bright and fiery eye, And the proud and lofty carriage of his head."
With apologies to Banjo Patterson
Of particular importance Jaylen is that the young chestnut gelding has on its forehead a circular white (silver) flash.
Jaylen rubs her palm on the face of the gelding, particularly over the white mark. "Trayan," she says, smiling. "I'll be back to get you once we're ready to leave."
Seeing that Toruun has pulled out his sketch book again and is not interested in initiating Wake-Up Protocol 3, or any other protocol for that matter, D.O.R.K. starts to reach out to the unconscious Goblin. However before she can do so, the Goblin sits up and in a whiny voice says “Ce ma lovit, a coborat zidul?”She opens her eyes and looks around to see if she is actually lying under a partially collapsed wall and realises that a strange metal creature is leaning over her. She leans back in surprise and says “Ce-ai spus în numele lui Maglubiyet?”
Realising that nobody can speak Goblin, Beedo pipes up and says ”Bosslady, the gal Goblin wants to know where the wall that fell on her is and basically what you are and where'd you come from?”
"Basically indeed. It was not Maglubiyet that orchestrated this meeting... But that is neither here or there. Hm..." D.O.R.K starts tracing her symbol again for a few moments. "Let us keep this simple then. I trust you two will translate appropriately." She gives the duo a look, though for Vark it was more meaningful. Afterwards, she turns and pats her chest. "I am DORK. Uhm… Iron Woman. Sister."She points over to Torunn, and then back at herself. "Ai numele D.O.R.K." She points to Gwerk. "Numele?" She questions.
After receiving an answer from either goblins, she looks to Devin. "Query: What is this about a wall? Additional Query: You did not drop one on her did you?"
"Gwerk be me name" the Goblin says in Common. Again Beebo pipes up and says "BossLady - most of us can speak Common ya know. Its real difficultlike to demand money from somebody when dey don' what ya is saying!"
D.O.R.K puts her hand on her hips and huffs. "Well of course, but she could've led with that."She states on the grumpy side. Seeing that Devin had things well at hand for the most part, the construct focuses most of her attention on keeping an eye out on the area. But she kept a proverbial ear out, as much as she could...

Jaylen feeds the horses grain. Are there buckets?
Yes and a group of clerics wandering around doing nothing that you could shanghai into the task of hauling water for the horses!

Meiva's hand drops from her neck.
"I see no reason why this specific goblin should be worked with more than any other," she replies calmly, "but I will assist you if I can."
And that's all I have to say about that.

Devin laughs as D asks him if he dropped a wall on the goblin.
"No, not a wall. I just whacked her on the head with my staff, tied her up and brought her here. "
Looking down at the goblin he squats down to be at her level. In a calm, pleasant voice he asks,
"Gwerk eh? Pleasure to meet you. What has Hark done with the townspeople? Where did they all go?"
D.O.R.K puts her hand on her hips and huffs. "Well of course, but she could've led with that." She states on the grumpy side.
