Page 1 of 17

Three goblins green and zealous as it was were gathered next to a grey 50ft. cliff facade upon the dirt,with the contrived and resented forest in the distance.Each sported the contemptious resiliance of their battle weapon,usually hammers,and they had a treasure-box at their intrests. "I get what I take this is setteled!!!" "My eyes keep what is mine!!!" Suddenly a mithral effect appears at the effectivley arguent box and reaction is swift and agitated as each pound upon it. Two knights in emciated if one can imagine,silverish plate male and black rides-approach the cliff upon its surface and one brings about his ride in pretentious examination. "I smell goblins!!!" "I can guess their about this side of Vaerheszee,the innkeepers think they can tame them;use them for amusement" "Look across the forest ...such a place takes no pity,the scoundrels-[a twinking sound occurs and the first knight rides at the brim and looks for himself]-What are you doing nastys?!" At that instant while one looks to respond another qiuckley snatches the chest towards it self. "Go from here human!We take this,or else-..you leave!" "We want trouble stay there and you’ll surely know why we’re here"At that the second knight reprising the situation-30 yrds to the right they steeply get to the groundplace. "Treasure!Treasure!"states one of the goblins wryley walking to the forest with the chest under 1 arm. "Go!Go!we leave the gork mud humans fast!!!"says another getting to support the chest and make swifter their fleeing. Finally the knights,having the goblins 400 yrds from themselves and 100 from the forest as they reach the original area have jist of the problem- "No,no good,their not worth the work"k 1 "Aye,they have something though-"k 2 "Let’s return to the city" k 2 regards the silly wraff run of the goblins a bit more,has a quarter turn of might then they proceede from the scene. The riders approach the city,walls cover every side in a grey biege color and a great castle is apperent upon a south east hill,showing the main features of that wich is regarded as the great grey castle.Guards at each side of the openway to the city have spears and a grim appearance. "No reports"k 1 "Just goblins"k 2-as 1 guard looks at in reaction a bit bewildered A wizard in black,strangley more of a witches hat,and refined sleeves has a crowd gathered about himself.2 claps and opened eyes begin the bit as a black sphere 1 ft. in diameter appears,and motioning with the rt hand begins floating it about the perimeter of his show circle.They are pleased some cheering some oohing etc.The knights have a keeper at the stables wich are open to the main city area take ther rides and they approach the intrest circle.Now the wizard makes the orb go harshley about shaking a bit and a few times in circles before it smashes the ground and flying from the orb are fresh flowers,some hitting the ground others flying as much as 7 ft away.The next step takes place with a fast closed fisted motion and the orb goes to his hat .Strangley blue mithral appears as it dissapears as he motions a lateral reschefter with hands.As expected the walk for coins takes place and the recption this time is 5 coins.The perfomer walks to the knights from the gathering as it dissipates,them being some 10 ft from the excitement.
