Session 39: The Final Allies
General Summary
Date: 11/2/2146.
The session started in the early afternoon and Team 8 was just arriving back at Onureth Taoul after spending the morning in the Shadow Pit.
The Goblin Warrens
Team 8 went to the Goblin Warrens in the Tiger Mountain State Forest with Deld and Greevil with them. It took an hour to drive to the location. During that time, Deld took a nap and Greevil explained the Goblin Warren culture to Team 8. Greevil also gave them the advice of having males speak to the Boss and to be very flattering while talking to him. Once they arrived, the group went into the Warren. They noted that the goblins there were growing a variety of giant mushrooms. They met with Boss Clukz Booyahg. Avitus presented the Boss with frost worm meat as a gift. In the beginning of the interaction, Greevil did the translation for the team and he ensured to put a flattering spin on everything that they were saying. However, it didn't take long for Diana and Avitus to get impatient with all the ego stroking. Diana bluntly stated what they wanted and demanded that he give an answer. Boss Clukz Booyahg became angry and attempted to intimate the team by producing a small ball of fire in his hand. Team 8 and the modern goblins were rather unimpressed. Avitus approached Boss Clukz Booyahg and used his very presence to intimidate the little Boss into giving his agreement to attend the moot. The goblin shaman seemed amused by team 8 and their interaction with the Boss.The Gnoll Caves
After meeting with the Goblins, team 8 went over to the Gnoll Caves that are near by in the Tiger Mountain State Forest. They paid a tribute of meat to gain access to the caves. Once inside, they saw that Mirogoh Gnasher was at the communal fire. He greeted Avitus with respect and agrees to escort them to Gnara Riverpaw. Once in her chambers, Gnasher speaks with Gnara in Gnoll for a moment before stepping to one side where he silently observes the meeting. Avitus gives Gnara frost worm meat and teeth as a gift which. She seemed curious about the meat and excited about the teeth. She explained to Team 8 that bones have magic in them. Avitus gives her his remaining teeth and she agrees to make him a magical item as a gift. Gnara agrees to attend the moot. Gnasher gives Avitus a ritual bone handled knife and a bracelet of bones that indicates that he is a warrior. Gnara indicates that the Team is welcome to come when they desire and she gives Avitus permission to put any of her guards into their place if he needs to.Returning Home
On the ride home from the Tiger Mountain State Forest Team 8 offers Greevil reassurance that they feel he is a valued ally. They offer to help him over throw Boss Clukz Booyahg so that he can improve the lives of the goblins living there. Greevil is reluctant, expressing that he is not a fighter and would not be able to win against Boss Clukz Booyahg. They remind him that they are his allies and explain that for them, this means that they will help him achieve his goals. They also speak with Deld about his debt and not owing Avitus anything. Deld disagrees and insists that he owes Avitus what was paid to Qhall.Having Dinner
Once they get back to Onureth Taoul, they are greeted by the other goblins and Jan who provide them with a feast for dinner. The goblins provide coffee and cookies while Jan provides a huge platter with various bugs, rat, potatoes and carrots. Ricky, Mashu, Jan, Yorb, Kamil, Kimberly, Bun Bun, the Thistling, Chompa, and Mr Lucky Boots all join them for their meal. They give Ricky and Mashu an update on how things have been going in regards to making arrangements for the moot. While talking about Arvind, Diana touches the bracelet she was given by the dragon and activated the magic without realizing it. Thus, Arvind also joins them for dinner. He arrives with numerous kobolds clinging to him that he is easily brushing aside. Mashu is clearly afraid and distrustful of the dragon. Arvind declares that he is happy to have been invited and makes himself comfortable at the table. He also readily agrees to attend the moot. When asked about who else to invite, he mischievously suggests that they invite Wynn and reveals that Wynn does not like him. He explains to the group that Wynn is not human, but doesn't go into more detail then that.The Knights Of The Silver Dragon
While at dinner, Team 8 asked Kimberly what she had discovered in regards to the The Knights Of The Silver Dragon. She gives them the information that she was able to find which sums up as the following: The Knights of the Silver Dragon control Tacoma indirectly. They own The Medical Corporation (commonly called Med Corp). With the rise of Corporatocracy, they used a corporation (Med Corp) that one of their members (Eadric Archer) owned to lay claim to Tacoma. Med Corp has been controlled by the Archer family since it was established. The founder of the company was named Eadric Archer and after taking control of Tacoma, he established the tradition of naming the first born son Eadric Archer and passing the company to them. Thus, Eadric Archer is the CEO of Med Corp and the ruler of Tacoma. Kimberly comments that she thought this was an unusually naming tradition, but that there was no evidence that she found to suggest that the family wasn't in fact humans. The Knights Of The Silver Dragon are lead by Wynn Flashond. He does not run Med Corp but rather is the leader of the Knights of the Silver Dragon. He is not generally considered the ruler of Tacoma, but it is clear that he has a significant influence over the manner in which the city is run. There are some that consider him to be the real ruler of the city and there are those that consider him more of an adviser to the CEO. Tacoma has been in conflict with Draco industries since 2142. This is shortly after Franz Draco took over the company. During that time, they have made numerous raids into Seattle with unclear objectives. There is clear support from The Knights Of The Silver Dragon but there isn't anything to indicate why Tacoma or The Knights Of The Silver Dragon would be so adamantly against Draco Industries or Franz Draco. Members of the Knighthood claim to be dedicated body and soul to the cause of good and protecting the innocent. But there isn't much else for information about their order's beliefs. The Knights are organized into cells, each responsible for reporting back to Wynn about current goings on in their local Shadow communities. There are cells established all over the United States, not just within Tacoma. It is said that they are charged with protecting all innocent and good creatures from harm, particularly harm caused by evil Shadow creatures. While the knights are not considered to be part of Tacoma, the cells of the Knights are organized and funded through Radiant Intelligence. This is a government funded program started in Tacoma shortly after Med Corp took control of the city. The purpose of this program has always been to fund and manage the knights while publicly promoting it as a national intelligence agency that was charged with rooting out evil globally. Kimberly also notes that there are some interesting historical things to note which include several times that there are The Knights Of The Silver Dragon in various times and places. She doesn't know if this is a related order or simply that they were named the same thing. During the Dark Ages, the Knights of the Silver Dragon was an order of monks in Ireland. In the Middle Ages, it was a knightly order in France. During the Enlightenment, it was a Masonic brotherhood in England. In the American colonies, it was a band of rebels on the frontier. In The Democratic Era, it was a secret organization that knew all about the ways of Shadow and has sworn to protect all innocent and good creatures no matter where they come from. During The Era Of Anarchy, they were an elite unit of soldiers that protected the people and ensured that they were provided for. They worked primarily within the Tacoma area.Rewards Granted
There were no direct rewards for this session. They earned the promises of Boss Clukz Booyahg, Gnara Riverpaw and Arvind the Red to attend the moot. Gnara also promised to create Avitus a magical item.
