Look at the pot

You surprise him cooking, you don’t want unnecessary **** and eating a good meal together is often a good way to sympathise. You keep your sword to don’t be powerless as he has his knife, but keep the point near the ground so you are not a threat to him.
“What good are you cooking here?” You ask walking to the pot.
“Mushrooms and potatoes” Says the goblin retreating one step of your way. “They’re quite tasty but we lack of meat to accompany them.”
“We?” You ask. You see on his face that he made a mistake.
“Yes, I’m his brother, and I want meat too” says another voice behind you.
You turn and discover a second goblin behind you, knife in hand too. You see on his look that he considers yourself as possible source of meat. {if Rabbit stick=1}You think to the rabbit stick, take the stick and bend the rabbit one three times.
“Here is your meat, now you have just to catch them” you said killing one with your sword.
One of the goblin rushes after the rabbits, but as you laugh at him trying to catch the two rabbits which you mentally help to evades him, the second goblin passes behind you and steals the sticks from hour hands.
“Interesting, how much does it cost on the market?” he asks.
“I don’t know, but give it back to me”
“No, it will be the cost for the mushrooms you’re going to eat” he answer as his brother comes back with two dead rabbits.

You still have your sword, if you want to recover the sticks, it’s now or never.
{else} You are not so confident in the cooking plan anymore.

You still have your sword. If you want fight, it’s now or never. {endif}
