Approach them.

"I think I'm going to try talking to them." I utter to Ariel. Ariel looks at me with shock on his face as he struggles to determine if I really just said that. "The goblins? Surely you can't be serious? They're a bunch of vile, conniving, thieving darkies who think only the most impure of thoughts. Believe me, I checked. What do you think you could possibly gain by conversing with the likes of them?" Ariel questions. "Well, I look like any other monster, right? I'm thinking that if I talk to them, maybe they know of a way out of the city. It's a long shot, but the sooner I get out of the capital, the safer I'll be." I explain. Ariel doesn't seem to like my explanation, because his face turns into a grimace. "I don't like working with goblins, but I guess there is some truth to what you say. Very well, you can try talking with them, but I doubt they'll be all that helpful."

With those words of confidence, I crawl closer to the goblins. "Hello there." I say, putting on, what I hope is, a friendly tone. The goblins stop their arguing and look at me, before looking elsewhere. "Yous hearing dat? Sounds like somus is talkies to us." Hunstas says. "Yeahs, I's heard it. But all dats around is this slimies." Majies replies. I speak up once again saying, "That was me, I'm talking to you." Both the goblins are staring at me now, Majies with an expression of utter delight, while Hunstas looks annoyed. "Haha! Wouldja looks at that. Slimies can talk." Majies exclaims, looking quite happy. Hunstas' frown deepens as he says, "Slimies don't talks." Majies points at you and retorts with, "Dis one does. Guess yous not as good a huntas as you thinks." Hunstas looks increasingly irritated and barks back with, "Shuch up! I is a good huntas!" Majies giggles at Hunstas outburst, but then stops when she takes a closer look at me. "Oi, dis slimies got a real nice shinies in its." Majies says, her eyes reflecting the light of the gem inside myself. Hunstas takes a step closer. I can see his hand slowly reaching for the jagged knife at his belt. "Yeah, he does." Hunstas utters in reply. Despite how short goblins are, they both are still twice my height, and the way they are looking at me gives me a bad feeling.

Ariel looks at the two goblins, then back at me with a disappointed expression on his face. "I told you goblins couldn't be trusted. Guess you just had to learn that the hard way." Ariel says. I can't respond to him openly right now, or else the goblins would think I'm crazy. Instead, I try to come up with a convincing argument to get the goblins to work with me, or at the very least leave me alone. "Hold on!" I shout, loud enough to make the goblins pause for a moment. I access my inventory and pull out some of my gold coins, reaching them out in offering with a couple tentacles. "You like 'shinies,' right? Well I have shinies for you, I just need your help." I offer. Majies doesn't hesitate in the slightest, taking the gold pieces from my grasp immediately. Hunstas is a bit more cautious, but when he sees that nothing bad happened to Majies after taking the coins from me, he takes them as well. Hunstas bites one of the coins, apparently testing if they are real or not, and appears satisfied.

"Ooo, dis slimies is nice nice, for realsies. Cans we keep em, Hunstas?" Majies asks, practically vibrating in excitement. Hunstas rubs his chin before answering. "Dis seems like some'ing Da Boss would want to knows about. Wes betta brings em to Da Boss." The goblins' speech pattern, that I first thought was kinda charming in it's own simple way, has steadily become more irritating the more I listen to it. Still, it wouldn't do me any favors to point that out to them, so I keep that little fact to myself. Instead, I say, "That sounds good. My name is Kin." I offer my tendrils once again, but this time for a handshake. Well, a hand-tentacleshake. The pair of goblins look at each other, then back to me. Majies is the first to grab onto my offered tendril, but she does so with both her hands, the bright smile on her face growing ever brighter. "Dis slimies gots a name, and he even knows our nice greets." Majies comments. "I'm Majies." Goblins must have a very different way of greeting each other, because once Majies wraps her hands around my tentacle, she begins stroking it back and forth. The sensation is unexpected, but not entirely unpleasant. Her technique is rough and could definitely use some lubricant, but her enthusiasm more than makes up for it. Hunstas, meanwhile, spits on his hand first, then he grabs my tentacle. Hunstas' spit leaves a green trail on the membrane of my tendril, but it provides a surprising amount of slickness. Whereas Majies' strokes were full of enthusiasm and passion, Hunstas' stroke are slower and feel like he's doing it out of obligation than anything else. "Hunstas." He states plainly.

"I'm not looking, I'm not looking!" Ariel announces. He's turned around in order to face the other way, and he even has his hands over his eyes. Though I can't see Ariel's face from this angle, I'm sure he is blushing profusely as well. Just as soon as the impromptu handjob starts, it ends, leaving me with a bit of a lightheaded feeling, and leaving my tentacles a bit firmer as well. I pull my tentacles back into myself and try to ignore what just happened. Majies and Hunstas walk around me and head farther into the sewer. "Come come, we take you to Da Boss at Gobby Home." Majies says, beckoning me to follow her. Ariel, who has since uncovered his face, turns to me and says, "You can follow after those wretched goblins all you want. If you need me, I will be waiting within your domain, at least there I will be comfortable." Before I can even ask him how he plans on doing that, he fades away into light motes and disappears. Since it seems like I'm committed to following the goblins now, I trail after them as they lead me into winding corridors of this sewer.

After several minutes of walking, the goblins turn into a small hole in the side of one of the walls. The hole is small, even for the goblins, who have to bend over in order to fit inside it. Hunstas enters first without waiting for the rest of us. Majies, on the other hand, gestures for me to follow her before entering herself. The hole is no problem for me, due to my even smaller stature, so I'm easily able to follow behind Majies. Now would also be a good time to mention the clothing of these goblins, or the lack there of. Hunstas simply had a fur loincloth and a rugged looking belt to keep his knife at the ready, leaving his entire chest exposed. Majies, at the very least, is wearing some kind of makeshift covering over her chest, though she hardly needs it due to her breasts being pretty small. Where Majies does excel at, however, is her rear. Bent over like this, I can see that her own loincloth provides very little covering at the back. As she walks forward, I can see the barest hint of her pussy lips in between her thick thighs. I can also faintly see something glistening on her thighs in the dim light. Did she get a little wet when she was stroking me earlier, or is she somehow aware of where my gaze is focused at right now and is excited by it? I don't get a chance to question Majies about it, cause we soon exit the cramped tunnel.

Hunstas and Majies step aside to reveal a scrapheap of a village. Buildings are made out of whatever mishmashed junk was available. It's a good thing this place is hidden underground, because I'm sure a light breeze would have knocked over half of these buildings. The whole place is light up by torches, as well as a few cracks in the ceiling above. Goblins run all around, most not any better dressed than Hunstas and Majies, and a few are even less equipped. Laughter and revelry ring out from somewhere in the village, as well as the faint sounds of moans. "Welcome to Gobby Home, home of the gobbies." Majies says by way of introduction. Hunstas leads the way, apparently aiming for one of the sturdier looking buildings. Majies follows, but at a slower pace so she can stick with me and explain what the various buildings are. "Dat's the place wheres we eats. And dat's the place wheres we sleeps. And over dere is wheres I sucked Grunk's dick." These goblins seem to be really open about sex, since Majies said that last part without the slightest bit of shame or embarrassment. In fact, she sounded a bit proud of herself for doing such a thing. I barely listen along as Majies describes more of the places where she either sucked, fucked, or masturbated.

Eventually, Majies quiets down as we approach the sturdy looking building. There are a couple of goblins sitting in front of a cloth flap that must act as a doorway to the building, wearing some more impressive gear, but that doesn't mean much considering what the rest of the goblins are wearing. The guard goblins are wearing some rusty armor that looks like it might crumble to dust any second now. They are also holding some very old looking spears, with the tips so dull they probably work better as a bludgeon than as something to stab people. "Oi, wazza business with Da Boss?" One of the guard goblins questions. Hunstas speaks up first. "We gots someting for Da Boss, important business." The guard goblin simply shrugs as he says, "Roight den, in ya go." He waves us on and doesn't spare us a second glance as we enter. That was awfully easy, but I guess goblins don't really have any reason to be suspicious of each other. The inside of the building doesn't look much better than the outside. There are piles of trash everywhere, bugs and mice scurry about, and a horrible musk lingers in the air. The only thing that looks to be of any value is a small piles of glittering coins and jewelry sitting behind a scrap throne, upon which sits a taller than average goblin who is currently getting a blowjob from a redheaded human. The human is completely naked and is covered in bruises, cuts, and bite marks. When the tall goblin finally notices the three of us walk in, he smacks the human on the cheek, which makes her move her head away from the goblin's crotch. When the human turns her head to look at us, her eyes look incredibly dim, as if there is no longer a person behind them.

It seems like the goblin on the throne is the famous "Da Boss" I've been hearing about. After examining the three of us, Da Boss stands up and walks over to Hunstas, who lifts up his loincloth to give Da Boss access to his cock. Da Boss gives Hunstas' dick a few pumps, before moving on to Majies. Majies gets her pussy fingered a couple times, before Da Boss removes his slick fingers from her. Da Boss looks over at me with a critical eye, then heads back to his throne. "So," Da Boss starts, patting his thigh which makes the woman get on her knees once again. "Alroight, what's youses want? What's with the slimies you brings here?" Da Boss questions. Hunstas takes the lead and steps forward. "Wes made a great discovery. Wes found a talking slimies. Go on, Kin, say something." I make my way closer to Da Boss. The way Da Boss' beady eyes look, not at me, but at the gem inside me, as well as the fact that he could order all the goblins here to attack me makes me bit hesitant, but I swallow my nerves and speak up. "Hello, Da Boss. I hear you're the person I need to talk to." I wait for Da Boss to have a reaction, but his neutral expression doesn't change. "Wells?" Da Boss asks. "Am I supposeded to be impresseded by thats? All I wants to know is why you twos haven't yanked that shinies outta him?" Da Boss points at my gem as he asks that. Hunstas and Majies look at each other, as if they truly hadn't thought about doing it since they considered it the first time. "W-well, we did try that at first." Hunstas begins to explain, his confidence weakening with every word. "But then the slimies offered us shinies if we didn't, so we uh... took the deal."

Da Boss still stares intently at me, as if trying to figure all that I am. "Well, ya gots these two fools to listen to ya, but that's hardly a challenges. I'll tell ya what, if you can do a small task for me, then I'll let ya stay in Gobby Home. If ya dies while doing this task, then ya dies." Da Boss states. Seeing as how I'm in the center of his village, as well as in the capital city of the Light, refusing his offer means I won't have any help in trying to leave this place. "Very well, I'll do what you ask of me." I respond, which prompts a wide grin from Da Boss. I can't explain why, but that grin makes me very uneasy.
