Haashad Krisska
It is a cave hound. No goblins live here but they do come and go occasionally and he points back where you came from and waves off in the opposite direction. The trade sometimes but my dog does not like them. Rather he like their smell too much and so they do not live to visit much. I have not seen any for several cycles.

He nods figuring out where he messed up. "Thank you Haashad. Sorry for disturbing you.
Ishzu turns to leave wanting to trying the different tunnel...

Haashad Krisska lets you go with only a few words as you leave I grow ground grub and trade meat for other items or information. You may stop by if you come this way again. Just stay back and toss a stone toward the back of the cave and I will come to greet you.

You continue on and after several more minutes you notice the air is a bit cooler and the scent of water is in the air. You come to a larger cavern again and your carried light reflects of greenish stones set into the cavern walls in strange spiral patterns. At the back of the cave is a pool of water. Off to one side you see more trash that you now associate with a goblin camp site. This camp is fresher than the first you found at the base of the crack leading to the dragon hoard but nothing else can be learned from the traces you find.

Proceeding cautiously you move on the large cavern splits and up ahead you see a faint flicker of firelight reflecting off the cavern walls in the distant darkness.

Before heading towards the firelight Ishzu focuses on the dragonmark.
"Found insect named Haashad Krisska, They raise Ground Grubs for meat. Do you know about them or want them dealt went? They have a 2 headed-dog."

You feel a wave of disinterest emanate from the sigil.

Not wanting to bother Ebonwrath Ishzu turns to see what is going on in the firelight...

Holding your torch to light you way you move closer to the firelight. You se two small figures croutched ovre a small cooking fire. One of the figures looks up towards your direction and you recognize it as a goblin.

Torch in hand Ishzu cautiously approaches the duo of goblins. Speaking into the mind of the one that noticed him. "Hello Goblin friend. I mean no Harm. Friend."

The two look at you and glance at each other before looking into the darkness nearby. Welcome the closer one says as the other slips back out of the firelight. You travel alone, mind mage? He seems a bit nervous and keeps glancing into the shadows behind you and to the sides.

Ishzu snuffs out his torch and approaches the goblins. "I have friends that are always nearby." he says to the closer goblin.
Ishzu makes his way to the firepit and puts his crystal arms out to warm back up. "I wish to speak with your leader. Who ever is in charge of your tribe."

The goblin become even more nervous, constantly looking into the darkness behind you, and scoots away as you sit down. Gulping he replies Which leader? Tribe leader back home? Warleader? Hunt Master? Who? Bong serve Hunt Master now. He is up topside. But I not take you to safe cave. Hunt master say no outsiders to know or see our safe cave.

Looking back the way you came the back in the opposite way he asks a question of his own You with humans in base or come from deep dark? You tell me where you from and we send goblin with message when leader ready to meet.

"I belong with both humans and the deep dark. I am a traveler. I walk this world as I please. Ishzu says proudly to the Goblin mind. "Seeing Hunt Master would be appreciated".

The goblin is a bit confused by this but shrugs. OK, we tell Hunt Master to meet you. How we find you for meeting? And he gives a warbling whistle which is answered from the dark.

The answering call came from the other goblin, which you have been tracking with your psychic abilities. The one that left the firelight had circled around the firelight but staying in the dark. Scouting or moving to ambush you? As he never moved to attack you merely kept track of him by his mental impression on your psychic senses.

Ishzu stays sitting warming himself with the fire. "May I wait right here?"

Ummm, ok? It be several day. You wait here? The goblin shrugs. OK, I go tell Hunt Master you wait here.
He find you when he want to talk.
and he starts gathering up his supplies and is soon joined by his companion. They have a whispered conversation in their goblin tongue with frequent glances at you. Within minutes they are ready to set off. By, don't die glass man the spokes gobin says in parting.

If you dont stop them the leave the fire and you quickly behind.

OOC:
Could I track them? Follow close enough behind them to track them with my psychic senses.
Dec 22, 2023 1:57 am
OOC:
Sure, you can. Just FYI Sight and sound have a longer range than psionics. Let me know if there is anything special you want to do before they take off. Also let me know what you do while following them.
Dec 23, 2023 10:53 pm
OOC:
I would prefer to track them without using a torch but I don't think that would be easy. I will follow them best as I can using Psionics. If I loose them I will use a torch to try and follow their foot prints.
Dec 23, 2023 11:05 pm
Following as best as you can you follow the goblins for quite a while as they wind through various caverns then up a long climb. At the top of the climb the goblins quickly run off and you lose them to your psychic senses.
Roll a standard test, 2d6, for trying to track them by torch light. Add comments on any other activities you do to try an find them.

Ishzu keeps an eye out for any scraps or garbage the goblins might drop as they start to run. He also looks for any scuff marks or loose rocks they might have toppled.
