Your people have been ousted out of their ancestral home in the mountains, by the greedy dwarves. Pushed out to the frozen north, you make your way past fur trees, and packs of wolves to find a safe place for you to call home. Along the way, many goblins have been left to die in the snow, their faces frozen in pain. You find a clearing in the dense forest. Beaten, and hungry, your people look towards their oldest member of their tribe for guidance.

Any chance we can send out a scout party while we improve our magiks?
>>46297069
Our magic has never been on par with other races, but if there ever was a time that we could use it, not would be it. Gul'nork says he will return, after consulting the spirits via the fruit of the gods. Gul'nork, with his long white beard tucked into his belt, strolls out to the forest. After a ways away from camp, he begins to search every stump, underneath every log, and even under the snow itself, all so that he can find the small blue mushroom caps he had heard about in stories. After finding a handful of the mushrooms, he swallows them in one bite.
What does Gul'nork see?
A. Arcane magic (Choose one: One-Element style of magic, telekinesis, druidic magic, shamanic, summoning, Alchemy}
B. Divine magic (Explain religion: What god or pantheon do the lizard follow? How does this manifest?)

Gul'nork drops to his knees, puking his stomic empty. Through his new state of being, he begins to see strange patterns and minds expanding modes of thought. But he is distressed by visions of dead goblins, rising from their snowy graves out in the fields where their bodies could no longer handle the intense cold. They reach for them, walking with shambling steps towards him. Gul'nork, in his hallucinations, finds that his feet no longer work; slowly melting into the forest floor. The dead take a hold of his arms and legs, and slowly drag him away... He wakes up, nearly a day later near camp. As he looks at his surroundings, he sees the corpses of five frozen goblins; all looking blankly at Gul'nork, their master.
As Gul'nork returns to camp, one of your brown nosing subordinates informs you that while you where speaking with the spirits, he took the liberty to send a few scouts around to get the bearings of where they are. To the north, more frozen mountains, to the east lies a human fishing town, westward more forests but strange things happen in the forest, finally south is where your old home was – which one day you vow to retake from the thrice cured dwarves.

Gul'nork Orders the zombie workers to begin working on cutting trees and collecting other useful materials. The goblin wives then set out to collect barriers and other useful vegetation, while the husbands take their spears into the forest for any game. (Arbitrary roll of success has determined that the hunt was successful: food is set to satisfied). As the hunter gatherers return. They take the wood collected by the zombies and begin to make frames of huts. Soon you apply mud and clay to make rudimentary Wattle and Daub huts. [Architecture changed to: Wattle and Daub huts]
A goblin is sent to the human town to investigate their attitude towards your people and their attitude towards the bearded menace. He finds that while they don’t trust your kind, they have no problem taking goblin business. This attitude is carried toward the dwarves, but thanks to dwarves craftsmanship – humans value their trade more than any others.

Gul'nork looks at the same hut that he decided to eat the mushrooms in, but now he can see the multitude of spirits that float through the walls of the hut. Mostly, as Gul'nork looks around, are animal spirits; reenacting what they did in their lives. But some are not so friendly. Demons and other ill omens can also be seen. One particular spirit, one of sadness resentfulness born out of your people’s recent suffering, sits above the lodge of Gul'nork’s hut. With a psychic shout, the spirit shakes with fear. Other spirits, take a look at what is happening, finaly having someone who can see them. With more shouts, other spirits of misfortune leave the village. Other, friendlier spirits, are grateful for the disappearance of the evil malignant spirits; who apparently hunt down weaker spirits for strength. When they ask how can they repay Gul'nork for his kindness, he asks for their assistance in taming the wild beasts that live out in the deep woods.

Within moments, your people hear the howling of dreadful direwolves. This is not what Gul'nork expected. These wolves where the size of small horses, thick with warm fur, and teeth that look about the size of knives. Your people scatter to their homes, but none of the beasts attack. They look towards Gul'nork for orders. The goblin chief knew what to do. With a point of his finger, he yelled “KILL”. With frightening speed, the wolves descend upon the traders, their screams of pain quickly stopped as another neck as ripped open. The wolves return, awaiting more orders like loyal family dogs. With mirth’s of laughter, he orders the men of the village to loot the carts, and to cover their track when returning back to the village. Being pulled by the traders own horses, the Goblins return with: carts of fabric, leather, farming tools, books (though your people cant read), and what appears to be a dwarves loom. The wives are in awe of the loom, as it is rolled into camp along with two strongboxes that the goblins cannot open.

I don't know what we should do with the leather and fabric but "GUL'NORK WANTS WHAT'S IN THE BOXES"
and probably use the tools for farming or somesuch.
>>46303768
A. Try to improve settlement.
We need to make this place more defensible, especially after killing some traders.

Can we use the fabrics and leather fabrics to make saddles and armour for our new mounts?

Need to prepare for a possible counter attack if the humans find out what happened to their traders.
>>46303891
Your guy's roll >>46303061 to avoid detection was pretty high. the humans will see this as a wild animal attack. I don't want to influence your vote, but I thought you should know.
>>46303882
This.
But we need to get in those strongboxes too.
>>46303768
I'd complain about all these people trying to do the most stereotypical thing for goblin mounts...buuuuuut DIRE WOLVES.
G. Use the fabrics and leather fabrics to make saddles and armour for our new friends.
>>46303768
Pop should read 33. 20 adults, 10 infants, 3 zombies.
And could we please get some direwolf numbers?
>>46304018
Agreed. Direwolf numbers would be great OP
Why am I the only one who wants to know what's in the boxes?
Just an FYI. I'm heading to bed. But I will be on here later to continue this thread later. Just in case, I've archived this thread here: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/46295654/ . check in anytime around 12pm to midnight central time to jump back into this game.

Your wealth grows, And now your army grows. Gul'nork pulls from his source of magic, and calls to the corpses in the field. They spring to un-life, and shamble into camp. 16 humans, all of which are taller and stronger than your average goblin.
Gul'nork orders his new recruits to begin chopping down trees and making a wall around the goblin village. Your men, who are more dexterous than the corpses, use their ill-gotten tools to shape the wood into frames and posts to make up the wall. Within a week, your people have erected a wall that encircles the village. Spikes facing outward, are also placed along the parameter of the village. While this is going on, the wives use the loom, and find that they can make blankets and bolts of cloth faster than by traditional means, and with the green dye, they are able to make detailed patterns in the cloth. Soon, your goblins are dressed not only in warm handmade clothes, but are somewhat fashionably.
Your strongest warriors have tried to pull apart the strong boxes; but have only succeeded in exhausting themselves out. Apparently these are dwarves strongboxes, and very hard to break; but they are only used for special items.

A. Try to make farms. A stable source of food can allow us to focus on weaponry and such. Question to the GM: Does improve armaments mean improving the quantity or quality of our weapons?

Your people now use the tools to create rows in the earth. Much of the heavy work is done by your new zombie slaves, while teams of dire wolves take the work of plough horses. Outside of your walls, squares of black earth are exposed to the sun, a stark contrast to the snow that surrounds your village. Some goblins plant red barriers, some plant potatoes, garlic, and onions and other winter hearty plants. With this, your people are set for food when the plants grow. A month passes, where not much of anything really happens, your zombies tend to the fields, while your people busy themselves with the day-to-today stuff. This peace is broken by the arrival of three humans, two with breastplates and cross bows, one with a fancy garb, holding a scroll. He wishes to speak with the leader of this village, on behalf of the leader of the human port town.
“You seem to have built quite a community of… your kind… in my mayor’s forest. While we welcome any who wish to live in my baron’s land, it seems that you have neither asked for land deeds, nor paid taxes for said land.”
What is Gul'nork’s response?
A1. If we ingratiate ourselves with the humans, perhaps we will be safer? Integrate with the human settlement (You’d legally answer to the humans for anything)
A2. Ahh, three more zombies for the taking (attack the massagers, and convert them into the undead)
A3. Tell them of our plight against the dwarves, perhaps they will take pity on us.
A4. Your suggestion
(Will be started after the first choice is resolved)
A. Try to improve settlement.
B. Try to improve armaments.
C. Try to improve technology.
D. Try to improve magic. (Can only improve on necromancy or shamanism, until you can find a mage to teach you a new school.)

G. Your Suggestion
>>46311870
A4. Your suggestion
"We are willing to buy these lands off him but we will not pay a tax, mostly because we have no money although we can supply labour at a lowered cost."
B. Try to improve armaments.
>>46311870
A4. Unleash the wrath of zombies and direwolves upon them.
After that, we should prepare to raid the fishing village to add more corpses to our army and wait out a potential attack.
As for usual options, B. We should supply armor to our zombies and live men.
>>46311870
A3. we can say that their neighbor is getting greedy, and that the human port is next on their list of land to grab.
B. Lets make some bows.
>>46311870
>A1. If we ingratiate ourselves with the humans, perhaps we will can fuck them up later. Coming here demanding payment, who do they think they are?
>B. Try to improve armaments
GM, does the river flow towards the fishing village (when it's not frozen)?
>>46311870
I'd like to lump my vote in here
>>46311928
sounds the best option to me, might get humies out of our hair for a bit at least.
>>46313199
As it so happens, it does. The river flows from the inland with fresh water, and meets the sea near. its at the point where the river and ocean meet, where the humans live.
>>46311870
>A1
Seems like a safe option for now, we can always backstab them later.

Gul'nork, from up the walls, says that if the mayor is willing to negotiate terms of sale, the goblin people would be willing to work something out. (Arbitrary 1d20 Roll determines success)
>>46314476
The messenger leaves to convey your proposal. A day passes before you get a response. The messenger, who now comes with three new guards. Says that the land is not for sale, unless the goblins where willing to do some dirty work. The mayor values the land for the forest and the river access, but he is willing to wave ownership of the area if the goblins would mind dealing with a tribe of particularly viscous kobolds living in a mine about 100 miles away from your village. Apparently they have already attacked a few caravans of traders, and have stopped supplies coming to the town.
A1. You have a deal
A2. We are not the mercenaries of other races, no dice!
A3. Your suggestion.
>>46314631
A1. You have a deal
but,
A3. Your suggestion.
We want access to the mine after. You know, so we can make sure the kobolds can't come back and not so we can upgrade to iron weapons.
>>46314631

their supply lines have already been cut for a while so they're obviously weakened.

this is so evil I love it
>>46314631
A3 go along with them, buy be prepared to use the dead kobolds to betray the humans.
Also note that we share a river, and they're downstream. We should take advantage of this.
Poison the river with some magicks in the future? Launch future underwater undead assault? Think about it, guys.

>If the humans are wiped out we got a new fishing outpost
>>46314903
Going with this, just because of how cool it sounds.
I leave for a few hours and you immediately start cooperation with the humans?
Guys, we talked about this.

Did you read this? >>46314903 and >>46315766
>>46316536
That was after you tried "negotiation"
Making the best of a bad situation. Definitely the best option given the circumstances.
I will enjoy this outcome
Gul'nork smiles as he lies through his teeth. But as the massagers to the human town leave, the goblin chief orders a wolf and three other riders to meet him near the village gate. He then orders that bows and arrows be made while he journeys to the kobold mine. The wives work fiber into the twine that make the bowstrings, while the men carve and whittle bows. They are much shorter than human bows, but they will do the trick.
Two days pass, as Gul'nork and his party make their way past freezing winds and jagged rocks. Ice and snow are a constant factor in this inhospitable land. As you arrive to the mine, the can see why the kobolds made their home underground; free from the ice and winds. A couple of nearly frozen kobold guards wait at the entrance; their reptilian bodies not made for the weather. They jump to attention as they see Gul'nork upon a fearsome direwolves. With a hand held up, Gul'nork dismounts his charge, and approaches the guards; telling them that he wishes to parlay with the kobold leader. One of the guards runs into the tunnel to relay the message, as Gul'nork’s party and the lone guard wait awkwardly in the snowing weather.
>>46316654
Moments pass before a garrison of kobold arrive, saying that they will take you to their high priest. Gul'nork feels more at home in the tunnels, reminding him of his old mountain home. Deeper and deeper in the mine Gul'nork goes, the more he sees that the kobolds have done nothing with the carts or tools. But here and there, a kobold rushes from the corridors of the tunnel; apparently busy with some task or another. Finally Gul'nork enters a rough hewn opening into a natural cave. Stalactites and Stalagmites as tall as a two-story house. Here and there, ore glitters off the walls. In the center, a large flow of lava bubbles; and over which an ovoid object hangs over the heat of the lava.
The priest, who apparently was chosen by how tall he was, greets Gul'nork. And asks why he has come. After an explanation Kar-kar the kobold priest, ponders.
“So you want us to help you double cross the humans into their town. We have no interest in the town. We only serve the egg. For when it hatches, we will reign supreme.”
How does Gul'nork convince Kar-kar to aid him?
>>46316677
"The humans wanted your people killed, if they ever find out about this egg, they will do everything in their power to destroy it."
>>46316677
The humans know about the egg and are coming for it, they want to destroy it before it hatches.
>>46316677
We have powers overr the spirt world, for your aid I will return the favor by empowering the egg you cherish so dearly.
Can we use magic to sense what's in the egg?
Like it's obviously a dragon but will it be friendly?
Can we poison it before it hatches? Make ourselves an undead dragon ally.
>>46316677
>If they kill you, you can't protect the egg. We should destroy them first, together. Then you and your egg can have your fun.
>>46316866
GM don't count my post for a vote, I already voted here >>46316800
If the dragon dies it can't grow to become powerful. A high risk high gain move would, assuming it's a dragon, to let it grow and somehow kill it. Then we have a weapon of mass destruction.
>>46316943
How are we supposed to kill a dragon?
We're better off poisoning it as soon as it hatches.
