Tyrcestus had finally emerged from healing the fallen, and looked like he had just come out of a steam bath.
He walked, steaming and sizzling almost, up to Beelzenef, and stood next to Trinity as if to defiantly state that she was a member of his team. At the same time, he took off his robe and placed it on Trinity, covering her up, as she had been completely naked up to this point - Clun, Vizard and Gizzard had been struggling not to gawk - and spoke with a bare chest. The red lines on his back glowed a fierce scarlet, cooling down as he addressed the goblin lord and Zalia.
"We're sorry to have caused you bother, sir, madam," he said respectively. "We are looking for the goblin Filthneck. We were informed he was somewhere in this village. And..." - an almost red sheen passed over his eyes as he said this, hearing Zalia's words - "we will be more than happy to take Lord Song back to the king, to answer for his actions. I don't care about status. Some actions are unacceptable, no matter what."

"Ah...hahah..."
The owner of the voice stepped forwards, next to Zerron, and it was an intensely tall green-eyed man. He had a moustache, beard and goatee, nothing fancy, fierce streaks of hair around his face. He was dressed in a formal black waistcoat, with white buttons.
"It seems they've found people who care about them..." Although the face was stern, it was now in a fierce smile. "My daughters are the ones with the wild blood inside them. My blood. I do believe it's time they know, and yet... I am too afraid to face them. I cannot reap what I have sowed, so to speak..." The smile became rueful.
"Now, what do you think? Man of fire, and violence, and blades. Do you think a father should show himself to his daughters, even though they would hate him?"

Zalia turned to the now bare-chested man, and got up off the ground. She bowed to him, as any respectable lady she had met would. "Could you." She said in retort to offering to take her father before the King. "I just don't know how to talk to him." Zalia then turned towards Trinity, and smiled slightly. "I could give you one of my dresses, if you want something to wear."

Arisa blinked, and looked from the large goblin king, to the bare chested man. "Why are you looking for a goblin?" She asked, with a bewildered expression on her face.

"We where sent here to get some information on a certain ancient sword."
Sean finally caught up with Ty and the large goblin.
"The king fears that there's going to be a time where we would need to use it to protect these lands"
When he heard The larger goblin agree to take them to the elder and translate, he was relived.
one step closer to finding the sword. 

"zerron moved his hand down to his side, seeing that he had reviled himself. Clearly he was no threat at this point.
"How would one know if someone would hate them? I believe one should know who their father is."
Zerron looked towards the man that had shown himself.
" Even if your scared at how they would react."
Sean glanced over at the tall man.
"You should know better than to sneak up behind a ninja of any type, you never know if they will end your life... or give you a chance."
He smiled as he looked over the situation.
"But you must be courageous to do that my friend... you are right about the fire part, me being a flame ninja and I try not to get too carried away."

a bird that was sitting on a overhead tree flew off as the goblin leader had told the group that they've found who've they where looking for. he flew off and into a small clearing that was farther away.

Sarret suddenly reverted back to his former self.
So they've found a hidden goblin village and someone who knows the location.
He reappeared with the group of archers he was with before.
But since I doubt that anyone here actually knows whatever language that goblins speak, we should just keep quiet and just observe.

We really need to get her clothing issues sorted out, Tyrcestus thought to himself.
He bowed again, politely.
"We would appreciate your aid... sir," he finished, upon realizing he knew not the goblin's name.
"And yes, ma'am, we will set your father straight. That, I can promise."

The man laughed quietly.
"Oh, I have no fear of ninjas, boy. The local wind ninja clan know to stay well clear of me."
He reached out and fastened one hand around the trunk of an oak tree. His muscles pulsed as he squeezed briefly, and the entire tree imploded silently to sawdust from the pressure.
"This is my forest. There's not a man nor beast, ninja or no, that can fight me in here. I thank you for your counsel though. You strike me as a wise lad. I can respect that."
The man studied the group again.
"I will reveal myself to them. In time. For now, I must go. Poachers abound. Farewell, flame ninja. Should you fall afoul of the wind ninja that reside in Gale's Pass up yonder in the mountains, tell them Rakgatisaur calls you friend. That should rattle their cages."
And with that, the very forest itself seemed to swallow him up, right before Zerron's eyes. One second he was there, the next - there was nothing to suggest he'd ever been there at all.

Hexy, Clun, Vizard and Gizzard had all assembled once again and were waiting for Beelzenef to lead the way.
Having heard Zalia's offer, Tyrcestus nodded. "If you wouldn't mind, madam. Clothing is an issue that we've been having with her."
Then he looked over at Arisa. "Are you ok, ma'am? I saw your fall."

"No need to be so formal, you can call me Zalia...or if you feel the need to be formal, you can call me Lady Song." Zalia said, and looked at Trinity. "I don't have many of my own clothes here, but I can take you to the estate, or if you wish I could see if the goblin tailors can make you something."

Arisa looked at Tyrcestus. "Now that I think about it, I don't feel so well...." the second she finished her sentence, it looked as if she was about to fall.

OOT: I've cracked my tail bone when I was in high school...when I stood up...I felt sick

Tyrcestus walked over towards Arisa, ready to catch her.
"Well, it's your lucky day," he said softly.
His back flared one more time, and he placed his hand on Arisa's shoulder. About fifteen seconds passed, and Arisa's pain and queasiness totally vanished. Tyrcestus, now with great black bags under his eyes, steadied himself through sheer effort of will.
"You'll be OK now. You're better."
Vizard and Gizzard looked over at Sean.
"Nothing much."
"Just the emergence of two new potential babes..." And with that, the two Casanova wannabes strutted towards the ladies, only for Clun to pick the pair of them up by the scruff of their necks.
"Don't be letting your ballsies do your thinkies."
Vizard sagged in the troll's grip.
"BUT THAT'S THE BEST PART!"
Tyrcestus looked back at Trinity.
"Go with her, get some clothes on. We'll go meet the goblin elder, then we'll meet up with you afterwards." It wasn't a request. It was an order.
Hexy's eyes looked into the forest, and she thought she could see the shadow of a man's figure. She flitted forward on Fweep to investigate.

A voice sounded in Tristan's head.
Yeah, I'd tell the king to get his men out of the castle. Call it a friendly warning. I'm coming in to talk to him, and you have a far more... receptive mind than he or Mandrate. If you would be so kind?


OOT: That sucks, hope you get better soon

OOT: Pizza pokes Mate with a stick to inform him that Beelzenef introduced himself on page 67

"While girls get changed, Beelzenef take others see elder Filthneck. Mind if me ask why sword special?" Beelzenef said as he nodded for Tyrcestus and the others to follow him

OOT: Feel better soon Shini

OOT: Mate doesn't like the stick (Sorry, had a lot on my mind, hard to keep track)

"It's a magical lightning sword which we're going to use to stop a potential invasion by a hostile elf army," Tyrcestus replied promptly. They were all following Beelzenef obediently.
"Any other questions? Any extra help would also be appreciated...?" He left the sentence unfinished, wondering if the goblin lord would have anything he could spare.

OOT: sorry...I probably should've said that happened many many years ago lol.

Arisa blinked, as she began to feel better. "Umm...thanks." She said, then heard what the troll had said, and could not help but giggle.

Zalia looked at Trinity, and smiled gently. "I'll let you choose where we go." She said to her.

OOT sorry im just now replying been busy moving. if you want to continue feel free to puppet my character just send me a pm. i should be on in the evenings tho
Trinity looked at Zalia
"Thank you"
She looked around
"I dont know much about this place can you show me where i can get some clothes?"
she smiled
"Do you have this problem?"
she touched the ribbon on her neck with the bell attached
"This was a gift, I've had it since I can remember its apparently enchanted so it stays on no matter what form I take. It adjusts along with my forms"

Zalia shrugged her shoulders. "I've never needed to transform into my full fox form, since my first transformation." She replied. "It's fairly large, and it would more than likely rip what I'm wearing apart." She added, as she looked towards the mountain. "When I transform into my half human form, usually what I wear is not affected...most of the time." She then looked in the direction of the city. "I was never given such an item...my mother passed away when I was nine." She then walked towards Trinity. "Come. I'll take you to the estate in the city, not far from here. I can give you a few dresses."

******

Arisa watched as everyone seemed to part ways. 'I suppose I should go too.' She thought to herself, as she turned, and made her way back to Shadow. She untied him, and led him back to the river. "Yes...you can have another drink of water." She said to the horse.

"Well, I'm just a kid," Tyrcestus admitted. "I would know nothing about politics and wars, and I wouldn't blame you for hating us. Humans are scum," he said with a surprising amount of venom in his voice.
"Have you had many dealings with elves then? If a war does break out, we could use the help of your forces. No doubt you would be rewarded for your services."

Zalia sighed softly, as the pair approached the city in which her father's estate resided. "Unfortunately, a lot of people's response to something they can't explain is either fear, or hatred." She commented, as she looked at Trinity. "I'm glad there are those whom are less likely to jump to either side of such a situation." She added, then looked at the city. "We're almost there."

******

Arisa looked down at the....man?...."Bath water?" She repeated. "It looks like a river to me."

Tyrcestus, Clun, Vizard, Gizzard and Hexy all obediently sat down.
"This should be good."

There was a sudden pressure in Tristan's mind.
"I was addressing you, demon. Speak when you're spoken to."

*Filthneck's story began*
OOT: I thought i'd let you read the story for yourselves

"Many long years ago when Filthneck was a young goblin, there was a war to conquer the lands around this mountain. While we expanded our hold on the land we were met with many foes, but the fighting was between four major groups. The major fighting was between humans, the nasty orcs, our own goblin kin and the elvish clans. The elves sword and bow skills were fearsome, even Filthneck worried about fighting them. The only ways we were able to hurt them was sneaking up on them and when we had the glowing thunder sword."

"During war boss goblin known as Deino stole glowing thunder sword from elves then tried to return. While he made his way here the forces of orc and elf surrounded him, and he was forced to hide deep in a cave in the large mountain to the west. The goblin forces rushed to the mountain to help, but he cast a thunder blast inside the mountain itself. The enemy forces who had Deino trapped were killed, and the entrance to the cave was sealed."

"After the cave that Deino was in had been sealed, all sides thought the sword was lost so they stopped fighting over it. The glowing thunder sword became legend, and legend became myth, but the foes didn't know about the mountain. There is a passageway big enough for a man to travel into the mountain and where the sword is. I've seen it before, but it was stuck in a rock and wouldn't budge. I believe a warrior that was meant to wield it will remove from the mountain."

Beelzenef nodded and said "Elder FIlthneck tell story of last war goblins be in. Tell that glowing thunder sword was sealed in the big mountain to the west. Can't get in less know where passageway be. Say sword stuck in rock near back of cave." he before he stood up and walked over to the elder. He showed the elderly goblin a map, and Filthneck pointed to it as he spoke in goblinish. A moment later Beelzenef came back to the adventurers and handed them the map while saying "Me pass by entrance to cave with glowing thunder sword before, but never noticed it. Map tell us where find cave, and how get through it."

*****

"Well I use it as my bath. Why are you here? I thought this land was full of those green goblins, not women on horseback." Steve said

OOT: Sorry I haven't posted in some time, haven't been feeling well

Zalia nodded her head. "Yes. I grew up here. Well...I grew up behind the walls of the estate." Zalia pointed to a large house with eight foot walls surrounding it.

******

"There was a fight, so I checked it out." Arisa replied. "It's settled now, so I thought I would bring my horse here for a drink."
