Meeting in the Goblin Cave

This is best to enter the Goblin Cave at night. It makes it easier just to sneak in. There is one dilemma you having is not wanting to kill them all. These Goblins will become someone else problem if you kick them out. The next person most likely not be as merciful. Surely the Goblins probably can be reasonable if came up a deal for something they need. Not gonna find out if stay here. Funny how goblins not have single guard out. Probably thinking it best to just look like any old cave entrance, or perhaps just not bright. Sending a air current into the cave to map it out an see how many goblins to get pass. Think might be thirty of them. There is no way to tell which one is the chieftain.

Coming into the large entrance an lucky none of the goblins are leaving. Silently walking in complete darkness with using your magic to see where to go eventually get to where all the goblins are. There was light in the large wide open area. Having a bonfire in the middle allows you to stop using magic to see, and what you see is a lot of goblins look like they barely ate anything for awhile. The worst part you see mostly the ones whom armed with weapons are well-fed or stuffing their faces. Finding the chieftain on a make shift throne, clearly they needed a better leader, because this goblin was overweight as he was tall. "Chieftain of this tribe! I am here to challenge you to a trial by combat for the right to lead this tribe! If you dare to object to my challenge it would prove how weak you truly are, and your days of being chieftain shall end fairly quickly" As you yelled out those words exposing Lura an yourself to every surprised goblin. The look on chieftains face is pretty damn angry. You boldly walked to him an none of them make a move on me. "So, what is your answer chieftain?"

"Accept your challenge." Sounds as angry as he looks.

He picks up a scimitar next to him. "May I borrow that dagger?" As I ask the female Goblin near me. She gives it to me with a smile. Looks like someone wants a female leader. "Thank you." Then I stare down the chieftain that is almost same height as me.

He takes a swing at me, but the swing is much slower than Larentia making it child's play to block it. "Are you even trying to hit me?" His anger seems to fuel him to swing faster an more aggressively. Sadly, he is still too slow to make a hit other than the dagger I am using to block with. Keeping this going until he runs out of breath. Then I fake a swing with the dagger making a opening to punch him. At first thought might have killed him when slumped unto the ground. "Seems that your chieftain fallen asleep in middle of combat." Hearing laughter from all the Goblins. "I take that as a forfeit. Does anyone object to this an challenge my claim?" None of them makes a sound. "My name is Taelia, and this fairy is my mate, Lura. As your new leader we have many new things to do. First we going to share food with everyone equally. Then go trade with the village near here. They need variety of metals to support their village, and in return they shall give us food an tools to support ourselves." There was a lot of cheers, but not all of them liked the idea trading with humans. Also made simple rules that no one longer stealing or pillaging villages. If get attacked than they can capture that person to be a **** for all Goblins.

After giving back the dagger found out her name is Tera from a Goblin standing nearby. I gave her temporary leadership when I am away, but she is incapable of talking. Strangely that have not deter her in finding alternate methods to quickly communicate without a voice. Tera have cards which have all the symbols in goblin language, and she is pretty fast at using them in a sequence. Knowing where in the deck symbols are by heart definitely looks impressive. Even though you can't figure out what those symbols mean. A good thing Tera have some friends to translate for me. Seems she has something important to show me, but not telling what it is about. So, I let her lead me to whatever it is. Where we went was much deeper in the cave to a alcove is a chest. Your foxy ears hearing something within.

When you opened it some slimy tentacles grabbed you trying to pull you into it. Both this mimic an you having equal strength, but Tera immediately slice a tentacle off an all the tentacles let go flailing everyone most likely in pain. Obviously this is a mimic an was little strange seeing the sliced tentacle was not bleeding. Tera grabbed something out of the mimic. Looking closely to see it was a black scale. Then she put it down an tried to stab through the scale an shows to me it is completely undamaged. Putting your hand in the mimic to find there is many scales within it. Taking a scale out to try to bend it to see it was pretty flexible. Probably could make amazing armor with this. "These scales are amazing. May I have them with the mimic included?" Tera nods an have a big smile. "It is possible there is enough to make us both have black scale armor, and seeing how flexible it is could be turned into much like a dress." She has a big grin.

After everything was packed for trading with humans everyone went out to stow it on the carriage. Of course, had to explain what was going on to Sitam an Dug. Dug was quite surprised about all of it, but Sitam seem to not be too surprised about it. Well, he did claim to live with demons. We were also taking two goblins with us for help with unloading. They were cute twins, one boy other is girl, and both of them wearing green dresses to match their bodies. There were very few goblins wearing clothes.

While on our way back to the village, Sitam started teaching fire magic. Had a lot of trouble in trying to create any flame. Unlike being able to see air there was no way to see during it's creation. Even though it did help being able to sense activation or constant use of magic. You kept practicing until end up back at the village.
