In reply to Grimaldi (msg # 230):

as you head down the hall, you spot two odd looking goblins.
  Most gobbos you have seen are greyish to yellowish  green to shades of greenish brown.
These two are orange, and dressed in tunics,sandals, reinforced leather torso armor and have sashes in a green and orange zigzag pattern.  One has what looks like a large dark bronze key handcuffed to his wrist, but they are otherwise unarmed.  Their heads are bare, and have odd scarring on the temples.

There is nothing hasty about these two. They are steady and seem unsurprised and by you.
They look at you fairly blankly.

"Do you work for the city? I see a sash, but no credentials."
Grimaldi asks, noting the key on the goblin's wrist.

"Ilon dohaeragon se aeksia hen oktion"
It reiterates in another tongue
"Snag Gothi ob goi"
And in another
"C' ahnyth uh'eogg ot uh'eagl"




Anyone speak even, goblin, or Dark One (Eldritch)?

In reply to Grimaldi (msg # 237):

The goblin looks at its partner and shrugs, matter of factly responding
"Sir skoros jemome morghulis"
The goblin points at the sign on the wall and frowns slightly.
"Ema daor paktot naejot gaomagon bisa."

"It sounds like they've tried several languages, but none of them seem to speak Aralaise.. Does anyone of your group, know what these fellows are saying?"
Rubbing his chin, Grimaldi looks closer at the sign the goblin had pointed at.

" We met these before, with Jareth the sage. He spoke all three languages. He said they were elven, goblin, and eldritch. They had said we would all die, and walked away."

"They seem to be keepers of something, or a cult. And they are doomsayers now? Most curious.. well, we should put a set of our signs here, by theirs. How's that for competition?"

In reply to Grimaldi (msg # 242):

You note that their signs, carved in stone over archways, seem to be a blend of latin and elven and other runes, but look like they might just be stray letters and numbers.

One of the goblins points at your sign and makes a WTF gesture and expression, then lowers his hands and stares at you.

"Maybe we should just go.. They have some claim here obviously, and since we can't understand them, it's probably best to let them be..."
Grimaldi points to our sign, makes motions of eating and drinking, and points at the sign again, and then back down the corridor, leading to where the signs will lead one to the tavern, if one follows our trail.

"I think so.. Cults telling everybody they are going to die, would interest those who govern law and death. But I don't much care for them, personally..How about we find out who they are on our own first, before we mention them to the Haderum? "
Grimaldi said.

In reply to Grimaldi (msg # 248):

The goblin has a fairly normal aura, although there is something a little off about it, like the aura is blurry to one side , near where he has the scars on his head.  There is a faint trace of something unnatural you cannot quite place, but it is more of a sign of outside influence than something inherent to the creature.

Grimaldi is fairly sure they've been lobotimized...
"I'm not sure... but I think someone or something has done something to their minds. Perhaps to make them more compliant minions... We should go, and finish our job down here, but this is certainly interesting..."

One of the two points at the arrow, and the pair head off toward the direction it is pointing.
