Skeeve is all for moving on to the next Remnant!
Western Remnants

You make you way west, avoiding the small and large herds as both the size and number in each herd varies, and soon get to a point where you can see the next Remnant better. From the outside it looks much the same as the other save the shimmering distortion over this one is much stronger. Then you spot a group of people, as this distance you can not tell what type, approach and enter from the north. Getting closer you spot a small group of goblins at each of the eastern doors that look to be lounging around in the time honoured traditions of guards doing as little as possible. One of the goblins points in your direction and the other quickly form up and stare at you.

Ealdwig pulls his sword for protection. Um guys, how are we going to handle them? Ealdwig points to the group of goblins. Looks like they are getting ready to attack.

The three goblins stand at the gate, still several hunted feet away, watching you

"They are highly unlikely to attack us out here. If they did, they would be leaving their post unattended, and they can't afford to do that.
"We have a few choices:
"1) Leave and move on to the next Remnant.
"2) Talk to them and see if we can get in, anyway.
"3) Attack and kill them.
"What does everyone want to do?"

Vaun hadn't expected the dizziness to happen due to crossing these so-called border gates. He was making a mental note about studying this phenomenon in the library of the Tower. When they exited, it didn't feel that bad and after moving towards the next remnant, they spotted the goblin guards. It was curious to see that the goblins were not attacking, maybe they could be talked with?
"I think we can talk with them atleast. If something happens we can always leave."

"Talking to them wouldn't be a terrible idea. Still, I'm going to have my bow ready."

"I agree. We'll keep are distance. Who knows, we might be able to make some sort of deal for safe entry?", Barley says looking at the guards not too threatening show of martial force.
"Besides, they seem a bit lax.", Barley comments.

As you get near the goblins they talk with each other before one pulls out a scroll and looks it's over. He then sends one of the other goblins inside before calling out as you get near.
Halt, who goes there in a pompous official voice, then sniggers and elbows guys companion with a comment and they both laugh

I always wanted to do that to some human.

I don't remember who is Charismatic. Skeeve is, so he can always try. I don't want to be presumptuous, however.Apr 1, 2024 7:46 pm
OOC:
ooh me me pick me. I bet I can get that goblin to do anything 😁 You are now about 30 away from them
Apr 1, 2024 7:57 pm
We stop walking towards them. I don't want to get any closer than 30 feet in case things go bad ...
Skeeve says, "Hello! We are travelers who were coming to look at this place. Do you allow visitors into the area, or is this goblin only?"

OOC:
I was going to be more aggressive, but we have one more Remnant to check out and Skeeve doesn't feel like killing a bunch of goblins today. He's adventured with some goblins thus far, and is just not that into killing goblins anymore. (However, if they attack, then the restraint quickly disappears.)

Skeeve's text just uploaded in my browser, I'll erase Arcs comments, clearly Skeece spoke up first. Sorry for the confusion Last edited April 1, 2024 8:15 pm

The other remnant is to the south. I assume this is the next target. There are also the orc held castle and hobgoblin held remnants on the north side of the river goblin
They look at each other then the one with the scroll checks it again. Well technically it's open, but only by invitation. I didn't see your description on the list. Do you have an invitation?
A couple more goblin guards join these, bringing their Numbers to 8. You notice that the one in back is holding a rope that goes inside the remnant through the doorway and rippling barrier.

Arc stands by Skeeve, looking at the goblin that answered. He ido wondering if they were truly willing to ley them pass or just buying some time to increase their numbers before attacking.

The goblins do not really seem worried about attack and preparing to attack you. However they do stand to block you way. And their confidence with near equal numbers suggests they have reinforcements nearby.

Kaarik whispers to Skeeve:
I don't think we should try to outsmart them. Maybe the best would be to ask to meet their leader and negotiate?
