"Seeing your people great you so fondly has reminded me, we have never made proper introductions, in the haste and discomfort of our journey. I am Maenor Holimion, and I humbly thank you. You have taught me a great deal in our short time together, and led us safely through the desert," he says, finishing with a bow.
May 16, 2018 6:39 pm
The white-haired goblin returns the bow. "You may call me Caraw-Chuwk. I sensed the nobility in your hearts and thus lent my assistance. You have proven your worth and justified my faith in you, far beyond my expectations."

For perhaps the first time that you can remember, Caraw-Chuwk smiles. "I think you will do great things. Should you find yourselves in need of shelter, you will always be welcome here.

"If you accept our hospitality, the young stranger in the other chamber is correct; we do have something of a password. It is needed if I am away so that my people and any of our guests know that you mean no harm.

"Of course, coming into our home requires you to maintain the secrecy of my people, and of this place. I do think you are all trustworthy, but... is this something you can agree to?"
May 16, 2018 6:46 pm
"Kalis Varimas," Kalis says with a bow, "I can certainly agree to keep your location a secret. No one ever needs to know that we were ever here."
May 16, 2018 11:38 pm
Maenor nods his agreement, "Of course."
May 17, 2018 5:21 pm
Caraw-Chuwk nods, almost as if it expected your answers and this is all a formality. "It is for the safety of us all," it says, smile never wavering. Goblin smiles tend to be rather unsettling, but it feels warm coming from this one. "Very well. You are now honored guests and I will tell my people to expect you, and to welcome you accordingly if I am not here. All you need to say when you arrive is that you are looking for Dwiz Valeft."

Caraw-Chuwk gives you a wink.
May 17, 2018 6:50 pm
"Dwiz Valeft," Kalis repeats under his breath, committing it to memory. Once he's got it remembered, he smiles at the goblin, "Thank you, Caraw-Chuwk, for your assistance and hospitality."

Kalis experiences a feeling of déjà vu.
May 17, 2018 8:17 pm
Kalis remembers the instructions given to them by Rhiann. He looks to the others to see if they have the same sense of recognition.
OOC:
Right now, we are nowhere near the rendezvous point, correct? I'm assuming that he's just letting us know that he is also a part of our little rebellion?
May 17, 2018 8:20 pm
OOC:
The only rendezvous point you were given by Rhiann was where to meet up with the caravan. You needed to find the encampment on your own.
May 17, 2018 8:21 pm
OOC:
My misunderstanding, then! My speed-read of the post missed that :P
"Do you, by any chance, have any wicker baskets for sale?" Kalis asks.

"Yes, we do," says Caraw-Chuwk.
May 17, 2018 8:48 pm
"Well then, I would like one without cobras, please," Kalis replies.
May 17, 2018 10:46 pm
Caraw-Chuwk nods. "It is good to find a wary buyer," it says. "I will fetch your baskets. In the meantime, please rest. Eat, if you desire.

"I think the stew they are making has scorpion today,"
it adds, after a moment of reflection, and a casual shrug.

After a while, a few goblins politely announce themselves outside your curtain, entering should you give them permission. It is a bit of an interesting exchange, since they do not speak Common, but nonetheless you manage to communicate enough to work things out.

The goblins place a few woven baskets in the center of the room and gesture to their contents, then take their leave. Inside the baskets are a variety of items.
OOC:
As a reward for sticking around so long, I'm giving you the magic items that were found by the other party. Story-wise, they brought them to this camp before they all retired. Split it up as desired, or sell them:
Cap of Water Breathing
Chain Shirt +1
Shortsword +1
Potion of Healing (1d4+4 HP)
Potion of Hill Giant Strength
250 silver
422 copper

You also found treasure from the lamia's lair:
Gloves of Swimming and Climbing
Shortsword +1
Eyes of the Eagle
Ring of Warmth

You also have equipment from Daniel, a Dagger +1

Caraw-Chuwk arrives, accompanied by another person. "I have been in contact with Rhiann," it says. "She apologizes for not getting in touch while you were with me, but she is glad that you have completed your task. She expressed concern about your lack of numbers, and has asked that I find someone else to join your group. She has given her trust in my selection, and I hope you might place yours as well."

The white-haired goblin steps aside and nods to the other person.
OOC:
Gyges, please describe and introduce yourself. Welcome!
May 23, 2018 4:00 am
Taking his cue from the goblin, Gyges waves/salutes a little awkwardly. "Hello, my name is Gyges," says the man. He is, for the most part relatively average looking. Brown hair, brown eyes, average height and weight. The kind of person you'd pass on the street and not give a second glance to. "I know that, up until now you've had to take on some hardships, and that I'm new to your group, but I hope that you'll allow me to prove that I'm sincere in my desire to be here."
OOC:
Also, let me know if you want me to change my avatar. I was playing around with theimage search and thought I'd put something a little different up.

Maenor steps forward to clasp forearms saying, "Welcome to the group. I am Maenor Holimion, cleric of Angharradh."
May 23, 2018 12:56 pm
Kalis moves forward and shakes his hand, "Good to meet you. My name is Kalis Varimas, Librarian."
May 23, 2018 3:40 pm
Coda waves, followed by a bow "Coda Ostinato, music extraordinaire. If Rhiann has put her trust in Caraw-Chuwk and Caraw-Chuwk has put his trust in you, then I trust you to be sincere." The small man looks the newcomer up and down "What is it you do?"
May 23, 2018 4:07 pm
OOC:
For everyone's benefit, Gyges is a Half-Elf, Maenor is an Elf, Kalis is Human, and Coda is a Halfling.
