Mole also don't waste change to experience the strange drink. He waits for Biscuit's question answered and will ask these in order:

Where do Darkfang tribe of lizardmen come from?
and
Where do you think we might find the high Shaman, Sthar?
and later, pretending it's casual
We've met a large fish in the waters around, too large for this swamp, I wonder how did it get here? Does it have something to do with the lizardmen ?

Benford will gladly take some of the drink, and will try to pal around a bit with the goblin grunts. It occurs to him that only an hour or two earlier he was preparing to slay each and every one of his new drinking companions. Such is the life of a Fenguard of Blackscale Lagoon, he thinks. If there are any games or dances that goblins like to do when they are drinking, Benford will join them with gusto.

Note: Each character can safely consume a number of drinks equal to their Constitution score divided by 3 (round down). Every drink beyond this safe limit forces a roll on the Sobriety Track

"The Lizardmen live in an abandonded village located North by Northeast of hear. It is there that you will find the Shaman Sthar. Our scouts spotted you and Sthar instructed us to capture the Gar and place it in the pool. We cut off its escape routes and left it there to find you. That's what led your fishermen to the pool where the Gar was. We dragged it in a net across a few stretches of land. That was one hell of a fish!" says the Shaman goblin.

Meanwhile, Benford begins to frolick around the firepit as the Goblins begin to dig up the porcine repast. It comes out sizzing on large blackend leaves, they hoist it onto a large board set on old masonry from the ruins, aka a makeshift table and unwrap the beast. It is crispy like bacon on the outside and falling apart porkloin on the inside with roasted onions, potatoes and peppers. They use their wooden trenchers to serve themselves rather than a free for all.

Then 3 drinks will be plenty for Benford, who happily joins in on the feast.

Great. Any other inquiries you need to make before you make a plan?

OOC: Biscuit is good with his one drink. Let’s go!

Ok, so what's next, the party dies down and the goblins are asleep. Even the Shaman goblin lady.

Mole agree - time to move back to the boat and decide were next to, but on the way to the boat he shares his confusion about the information goblin provided.

She say scouts spotted us then made all way back to Sthar and then back again. They would - only after - capture capture that Gar, carry all the way to release... While we were not really sitting there are waiting for these event to happen.
So either goblins know how to travel these lats 3 times as fast as we do or... well I can't imagine any other option.
And we are paying Cumwold and Therin for being this slow... maybe they are this slow on the purpose? Should we trust them and ask about abandonded village located North by Northeast?
OOC:
I guess we need to decide now between Weeping Hollow and Lizardman locations unless that's the same location/direction. Probably Mole who have a map would understand it better than I do as a player?

OOC:
I think we should travel with the goblins. They have agreed to help and we can use them as cannon fodder so to speak against the lizard men. Killing two birds with one stone.
Aug 28, 2026 5:57 pm
Sure. How long did Cumwold and Therin will wait for our return? Anyone remember?
Mole asks
Aug 29, 2026 9:19 pm
OOC:
It looks like we need to go back to the boat to get to either hex, so we should probably head back to Therin and Cumwold. I do like the idea of recruiting a force of goblins for ourselves, though. Assuming Therin and Cumwold are cool with that, I suppose the only limitation would be space on the boat? In the morning, could Benford try and get a bunch of the goblins he was partying with to join us?

I have the Shaman charmed.

So as the night continues Varos will ask the Shaman"How far to the lizard men? How long will it take to there? Do we need a boat?"
Aug 29, 2026 11:11 pm
"It is two days by skiff and three by foot to reach the abaondoned village," says the shaman.
Aug 29, 2026 11:31 pm
Varos will nod"We should meet there in three days."
