"Will. You. SHUT UP!" Khurza's patience grows thin at the ever annoying babbling, she looks ready to punch their prisoner, repeatedly. "The next thin you say better be helpful. Where is your camp?"

Khurza, Pomin, Aya - the goblins mouth shuts suddenly with a click, it's eyes wide as it stares at the orc towering over it. Raising a shaky hand it points to the closest of the smoke trails Khurza and Pomin had spotted earlier.
Jabari - you have been wandering the lands here abouts for the last few weeks. The cold, damp north being decidedly unpleasant compared to what you are used to but every time you've thought about heading south again your 'friend' advises against it, they have been quite insistent that you stay in this land bereft of any decent sunlight much to your chagrin. You have been travelling for most of the day when you begin to hear some strange sounds in the distance, screams maybe which are then cut off as another voice shouts out "Will. You. SHUT UP!"

Jabari pauses. These Northerners can be a bit paranoid, especially when they see someone who dresses a bit differently or has different-colored skin. But they're not as bad as tribal rumors had them out to be. Their ale is passable, and their fires are warm enough. The man considers whether to make himself seen.

"Good. How many?" Khurza is quite pleased her commands are not ignored, staring at the puffs of smoke.

Wait a second… Is that…? Jabari feels his blood rush to his temples. Yes it is! The flush is replaced by an intense chill. Here, all the way in blasted north, it's a hated Al-Kalimi. "You merciless fiend! Have you led me to this cursed land to finish me off once and for all?"
The djinni's mocking voice echoes in the tribesman's head: "No, no, my prince! He is of no consequence. Your destiny lies with the others. Go with them! Then you shall find a way to free me from my prison…"
"You are more useless than a camel with its hump full of shit! Shut up shut up SHUT UP!"

I think the presence of the Al-Kalim guy would set Jabari off something fierce. The others can presumably hear him now.Last edited March 7, 2019 3:42 pm

Khurza, Pomin, Aya - the goblins face creases with concentration, at one point it seems to be in pain before it looks at Khurza and says in a very serious voice "We are many goblins. Yes, many"
Just as you are about to round on the figure you hear a strange accented voice drift from the near distance "...a camel with its hump full of shit! Shut up shut up SHUT UP!". Abadai, still tending to Nya, lifts his head and quirks an eye at the voice but does not otherwise say anything.

"Hmm trade route infringement and new leadership might be needed... also goblins can't really annotate a good count, none, couple, few, many... many could be 6 to over a 100 unless they're of some intelligence and they know how to actually count." Pomin mutters with a sigh since it'd be easier to just scout it out himself. Hearing someone odd loosing it he looks to the others then the goblin.
"Ah the goblin eater is here, excellent... Well boss if he wasn't truthful that one fellow will find out after he's gobbled him up." Pomin lies through his teeth with a smile going to investigate the yelling.
"Hello... are you having a moment? Calm down if you can I'd hate to have to shot you..." Pomin calls out.

Jabari hastily stuffs the lamp in his pack but then drops the rucksack at the sight of the gnome's arrows. He thrusts his arms straight out to his sides, palms forward, fingers splayed—a gesture that means "I'm unarmed and mean you no harm" in the South. But these Northerners are strange creatures.
He smiles the smile that has kept him alive in these frigid lands so far. "Greetings for this day, my friend! Sorry if my tongue has bothered you. I have been tracking a band of eseku. I believe you call them 'goblins'? Looks like they attacked you before I could stop them."
He pauses to gauge the Gnome's reaction.
Mar 8, 2019 2:52 pm
"Well enough for me we've been employed to find the ongoing of these goblins and the major play they'll likely be involved in. Unsure if you're most the altruistic type but fancy getting paid to assist?" Pomin states lowering his arrows.
Pomin semi introduces the new comer on the way back. "Freelancer tracking goblins... since we're down a few figure one more pair of hands won't hurt. Actually what was your name and why were you tracking them? I'm Pomin by the way."

As the Gnome moves to rejoin the others, Jabari snatches up his rucksack and wipes off the wet grass and dirt. "If this is your idea of a joke—" he says to the lamp within, "—forcing me to team up with a hated Al-Kalimi… On the bones of my ancestors, I swear I'll throw you from the coldest mountain in this gods-forsaken land!"
Jabari trots over to catch up with the others. "Greetings for this day. I am Jabari Na'Hamada, last of my name, last living member of the Ufahamu tribe from the deserts far from here…" His voice grows stronger, and he stares at the man with the staff and turban. "…and only survivor of the massacre of my tribe by the hated forces of Al-Kalim!"

Oh joy, more shouting. Khurza says mostly to herself as Jabari approaches, moving her hand away from her axe. It would be wise not to aggravate him, she'll have to play along for now. "Khurza Bonokgra of the Broken Plains. Also last of my tribe." Khurza says dryly, eyeing up this stranger.
Mar 9, 2019 1:10 pm
Jabari drops the baleful gaze toward the mage and bows low to the Orc. "Last of your tribe? Then surely you can understand why I'm shocked. You're traveling with one of the people who wiped out my own people." He puts his hands out again in the same "I'm unarmed" gesture. "Well, Al-Kalimi? The gods have made it clear that they're torturing me. Go ahead! Finish the job that your caliph didn't. Kill me then, go on!"

"I vote for we wait till they finish dealing with our companion with the arrow sticking out of their head..." Pomin states looking at Khurza.
"You thought I was a handful..." he mouths with a smile and a wink.

Abadai merely shakes his head and continues helping the now quite groggy looking Nya "I have no quarrel with you Ufahamu but if you wish me to end you then please wait quietly and I will attend to you when I have a spare moment". Nya groans and tries to stand but Abadai gently pushes her to the ground before looking to Pomin and Khurza "I have done what I can for your friend but something is preventing my magics from healing her fully. If you are set on dealing with this goblin threat then I shall escort her to safety until you are done"
Mar 11, 2019 2:59 pm
Jabari jolts upright. "Sorry for the… outburst," he says to Pomin and Khurza. "I didn't notice your wounded friend here." He sits on a stump, head hanging low. "I have to admit—I'm shocked to see an Al-Kalimi helping someone. All the ones I've ever met have been riding horses and chopping down Kalishtar." He takes a deep breath. "But if this man wants to take your friend to get help, it won't do anyone any good to stop him. Besides, I have more important business with this goblin band."

"Abadai you have our thanks, if you think it's best to go to town send in a status report once you've settled down and brought Nya back safely we've made contact with patrols and heard tale of 'Longbeard' is in leageue with the goblin matriarch."
"Race and gender have no role in what kind of A-hole one has the potential to become. Now that it's the four of us... What business do you have and also miss wince your traveling companion may not be traveling for a bit do you wish to make some coin with us or assist him on his way to caring for our companion? " Pomin asks moving about looking for arrows from the fallen goblins and checks out their gear. If he sees anything of value that could help pay for Nya medical cost he'll check for that as well.
"Also no one's surprised how calm he is?" Pomin asks looking up and staring at Nya's 'pet'.

Abadai nods "I will take her to Dawnsmoor and we will see you there on completion of your mission, farewell my friends" he says as gathers Nya up and the two of them head south.
Pomin makes a quick check over the dead goblins but asides from the weapons doesn't find anything of worth.
There are a total of 10 Daggers and assorted arrows that are made to a decent quality, the rest of the goblins gear is worthless

Jabari offers to help the Gnome and Orc gather up anything useful. As he drops a few arrows in a pile, he glances to make sure the Al-Kalimi is far enough down the road to be out of earshot. "Glad to run into you; sounds like we're headed the same place." His voice falls a bit as he stares off for a moment. "My people were wiped out not even three months ago. I'm the only one who lived. The other tribes are running scared, so I came across the sea. Been making my way east from Redwater as a caravan guard." Another pause. "But what I really want to do is rally your Northern nobles for support against the Caliph of Al-Kalim." He snorts. "Most of them just laugh me out of their stone houses. Baroness Katrin of Goldhall told me I am too unknown here. I need a reputation. Do some 'deeds' she said. She told me there were rumors of goblins messing with trade around Dawnsmoor, so that's where I went." He smiles and shrugs. "A Kalishtar king without any subjects. How's that for fate?"
OOC:
Jabari can use a spare dagger, if Pomin and Khurza would share one at this point.Last edited March 12, 2019 3:26 pm

"Well I guess we all have our reasons for what we're currently doing..." Pomin states oddly looking at what they've accomplished and nods.
"You three ready? And what do we do with him?" Pomin adds looking to the others.
