Oniss catches up to the party after the battle.  He encourages that they keep the goblin queen alive.

He ask Gertrude for the mask reminding her that he is fluent in goblin and wants to know if anything he can note.  

Investigation 12

Oniss also asks if he can hold on to the mask.  Suggesting that if they come to any further goblins he may be able to use it to avoid further battles.

Quote from filcat >>

Artus stays impassable, the arrow always pointed at Felix's chest.

"So, that is how you justify yourself as being evil? Because of some family tragedy? Many people in this world have lost much more than you have, and they decided to do some good nonetheless. And how are you helping the group exactly? A Goblin Queen of this power is rare. She can have information, she can be tied to one of the many evil scourging this land."

Artus then put the arrow back in the quiver. " Now, if you are done causing disarray, let's take the goblin to a safe spot, have a rest and plan what to do next."

Quote from RonanKP >>

Kurma comes forward. Place his calm hand on his shoulder.

"Felix, I understand you want to get rid of her to protect us. But let's not go this path, I'm certain this goblin is powerless now. We can be better than them"

Artus Sleight of Hand check 14

"Your words are empty to me. 'Life isn't about good or evil', you say, and yet you choose evil. Do not speak to me anymore and let's be on our way. We are wasting time we don't have."

Felix catches Artus' hand and feels the strength of his feelings.

Scouting ahead Felix will keep his eyes open for anything.

Peception: 13

Brunella looks at Felix walking into Artus' arrow and shakes her head. "One like this would have died as a child in the jungle," she thinks. "There is no room for this kind of thinking in the albino dwarf culture. The jungle is unforgiving, and takes the lives of those that want to live and fight for life every day. Someone seeking death does not have to look far."

Felix doesn't notice anything of particular dangerous nature.

OOC So, do you wish to take a short rest and continue the journey later? There are 5 more days to get to the shipwreck.

[I am game for that.]

OOC: Yes, short rest would be good.

OOC: Kurma would love a short rest.... (btw anything that needs identifying?)

Will do that during my short rest

Gertrude hands the unconscious goblin to Brunella to carry then follows Felix, who walks out front. "Felix, I have never seen you like this! I mean, I was always able to tell that you were fighting your own demons. But not like today. What happened to you and your family?" Gertrude will scout with Felix.

Gertrude doesn't leave Felix alone. She follows him to the side of the camp site. "You know, Felix, you said, we're your family. Yes, family fights for one another, they protect one another, but they also know each other. You don't have to tell me what happened to you. But what happened to your family? Why do you feel responsible?"

"I cannot imagine your pain at your loss. Losing family brakes your heart. It will never heal." Gertrude takes a deep breath. "But you know, all of us have a story, most of us will have experienced pain, and loss. We're all here for one goal. And here, we are all equals. We'll decide together, and we'll face the consequences together. No-one's voice will weigh more than the others. So I would like you to speak up, to let us know what you think and how you feel, but in the end, I would ask you to stick with a group decision. You sending an arrow at my back might as well have killed me! Imagine I had turned in right that moment? I like you, Felix. You're a bit strange, fair enough. But you seem proud and strong and you fight for your sense of righteousness. Let's be a team. Let's play together and not against each other." With this, Gertrude extends her hand towards Felix.

Then she'll sit down with the others and tend her wounds.

[2 Hit Dice: 16]

Seeing Gertrude's hand Felix will think about her words. He will extend his hand as well. Maybe this time could be different but he's skeptical.

OOC What about the Goblin Queen?

The party re-takes the path toward the supposed shipwreck. Artus and Dragonbait lead the group as always. No more dangerous encounters show up during the rest of the day. Artus finds a safe spot to rest for the night.
