Scribe Notes

Brandenburg Goblins

We meet with Kali and he outlines the issues he has been landed with.

  1. There is a Hippo soaking in a mana pool in the war zone that was promised a bride by a guild party that have failed to deliver. Best to resolve this debt before the Hippo gets grumpy and leaves its wallow to extract the granted wishes from those members and whoever else it tramples along the way. It is also protecting several refugees.
  2. Mordrin's recent report indicates that the oldest Goblin god was made wicked and killed, this has infected all goblins with wickedness - because they really needed more. Kali would like us to investigate the impact and ensure that Grobbenbonk is still a reliable ally of the guild.

We sort ourselves out and fly to a nearby portal then to the mountains north of Brandenburg.

A phase spider has set up just outside the cave, we chat, bribe it with a cow and find out it has been forced south by Goblin/Orc mass migrations through its previous hunting grounds. The weather is a bit fierce for flying and already controlled by someone else so we head south out of the mountains by gallery.

We emerge late in the afternoon in the hills looking out over the forest. While I set up camp, the others hear drums and scry around.

  • There is a lake south of us in the middle of the forest with a bright glow coming from the island in the middle.
  • Grobbenbonk's tower is scry guarded.
  • The drumming is coming from several fires each with groups of dozens of warped goblins. We assume they are settling in for a wild night so we decide to eat, sleep then visit them in the morning.
W'nsday

Walking discretely to where they are camped we find them gone, probably marching most of the night. More organised and driven than we expected. Tracking them and flying north into the mountains we quickly catch up then sneak up on them, almost close enough to grab one for questioning when Bleyze gets bored and kicks some rocks. With the goblins alerted we go for a distraction - a burning bush on the hill. Which works too well, the goblins all look that way, some immolate, a couple of shrubs are turned to stone and a banshee wail pierces our hearts. Concerned about the Banshee wail, we open fire, the last Banshee is stopped just before she would have cried a third time and killed one of us. The living goblins are scattered. Taking a Banshee-Goblin and a de-warped Goblin we retreat to our humble cave camp for breakfast, saunas, divination and questioning.

The goblins are heading to see the Dark Lord (Morgoth) to seek a new God. They were warped in the last few weeks by rune magics to gain fantastical abilities (Banshee wail, wings, Basilisk gaze, size, strength, etc). The Bish suggests recruiting them all to Chantris but the idea of Goblins following a fertility goddess fills most of us with dread. We eventually convince Rowan otherwise by suggesting his potential new titles as head Goblin priest. Their wickedness is no simple curse but it is a sort of contagious infection and we think we could potentially create a contagious cure.
