"Let me introduce you to everyone," Pote said as he led Daggat around the room.
"You know my dad, Ketil. That's my mom, Sauspa, and my youngest brother, Ladel." He gestured at the dwarven woman who used a skill on the door. She was holding a toddler. The kid was gripped tightly to her blond beard, which was half the length of Ketil's copper beard. Even the babe had the beginning of a beard, and it couldn't even talk yet. What a strange folk.
"We also live with my Ma's cousin, Ven, and his wife, Tove. My uncle, Sklit, and my cousins. Calron, Juge, and Tankard." He pointed to the respective dwarves.
"Tankard?"
"Good dwarven name. Fine kid. Then, there's the folk from the village. Patricia is setting up sleeping areas." then he whispered, "She's having a rough day."
"The enchanted folk, they just leave the house alone?"
"Well, Dad's traps keep them at bay. And Ma's reinforcement makes it hard to get in."
"Great! First thing, I want everyone to know what's going on. I am pretty sure I figured it out." Daggat cleared his throat, then raised the volume of his voice. "Excuse me, everyone, if I could have a moment."
All eyes turned towards him. Hunter was focused on bracing and bandaging Anath's wounds. Elyndris waved her ruined wing at him and he looked as though he would faint. Ketil, Sauspa, and a few others entered the room.
"Look, I know we've had a rough couple of days. There may be rumors going around about a murder or two, but let me say this. It's all Mary's fault." The crowd looked at each other in confusion.
"I know what happened here, and the source of all your issues." Daggat continued. "First, though. A local legend. Pote, could you tell us about Bobby Blue Eyes?"
"How do you know about that story? It's an old one." Pote asked.
"I know everything, Pote. Now, chop chop."
Pote summoned his tome and opened to a page. "Bobby Blue Eyes. This is a tale passed orally, from the eldest among you. So, please bear with me for any inaccuracies." He cleared his throat, "On a cold day beneath a blue moon, a boy was born bearing its curse. Lunacy twisted his mind and soured his heart. As he grew, the moon's pull deepened and his gaze glowed with its blue light. "
The crowd began to murmur amongst themselves.
"Settle down, let the dwarf finish," Daggat said.
"He kicked cats, slaughtered pups, drowned hens, and left old women screaming. That boy became a young man and built an altar, one to Sahrzuel, the Monster King. He forced the village to worship the Hunter's creed: kill or be killed. Then one day, his mask cracked, and he butchered a lad in broad daylight and transformed into a monstrous thing. To this night, he stalks the woods. So fear the blue moon's stare, for madness follows in its light."
"So, this has happened before?" Ketil asked.
"In a sense," Daggat said. "You see, this story is true. Mostly. It misses a key component. The sister. See, that young boy's name was Bobby. Friendly lad, I had a chat with him a moment ago."
More murmurs filled the room.
"See, he had a sister. Her name was Mary. I don't know how, not yet, but she used the same magic on Bobby that cursed your neighbors. The reason she did this was because she fell ill. Despite the purging chalice, it was going to kill her."
"The what?" One of the men said.
"The… the purging chalice. You know, you drink a bad drink and get disease resistance."
"The people here don't follow that tradition," Oswine said.
"Why not? It's easy." Daggat said.
"They believe its bad luck, does more harm than good," Pat added.
"Really? Who said that?"
"Mary… oh," Oswine said. The crowd grumbled.
"Interesting. I'll get to that. Anyway, long story short, Mary used her magic to force Bobby to turn her into a monster and bring her the elderly and sick to kill. Then, when she evolved, she made him evolve and outed him as a monster. All the death was placed on his shoulders, and he was cast out. So, Mary stepped up to take control of the altar. Take control of the cultural center of the village. Everything match up so far?"
The crowd nodded. The majority of the folk had serious looks on their faces. These people were not village natives, so they would have arrived after all this happened. But, they would know some of their altar keepers' history.
"Mary got older, but she was a monster with a long life. A crone, one that has a human disguise. So, no one knew. 'Course, eventually someone would ask why she's still alive, being so old. By my guess, she's got to be over a hundred and twenty. Yet, I guarantee she is as spry as the day you were born. Am I right?"
The crowd responded with angry confirmations.
"That would happen any day now. So, all it took for her to activate her magical tattoos was a little upset. Like, I don't know, a looming goblin threat and then the arrival of a separate, yet charming, goblin. Has she been pushing for tattoos, even among adults lately?"
The crowd grumbled a confirmation.
"Thought so. Now, here's the fucked up part. Oswine, who is the first to handle the dead?"
"… Mary."
"I bet she's quick about it too."
The crowd nodded gravely.
"You are her source of experience, sorry to say. And now you know why the village is so divided. Mary has been cultivating this place like her hunting ground. Keeping you sick and shying away outsiders who wouldn't fall under her control. Reaping you as you fall, one by one."
"How do you know all this?" Ketil asked.
"Because I pay attention. I ask the right questions. And I happened to meet Bobby. He really is a nice kid. Course, he is also responsible for the high monster population in the forest, but that's a whole other thing."
"He's also lucky." Called Klaw.
"That too, I am mostly guessing. But, they are informed guesses."
"So what are we going to do?" Pote asked.
"We-" Daggat began before Ketil cut him off.
"Listen up. Look, you've all probably heard. Leofric's dead." Ketil side-eyed Daggat, "The enemy goblins killed them. These monsters," he gestured towards Daggat, then the others, "killed the enemy, then saved Oswine. He was the only survivor. Technically, Patricia, you're the chief."
Pat's eyes bugged out of her head. She looked as stressed as someone could be.
"But," Ketil continued, "I'm not going to put you in that position. With your permission, I'll head things until we are at a point of stability."
Pat nodded.
"Good. Daggat, do you know how to stop the blue moon gaze?"
"Well. I figured we'd just, sort of," he made a throat-slitting gesture, "the crone."
"The magic has a source," someone called out. It was Elyndris.
"Oh, this is Elyndris," Daggat said, "Yes, she's a worm that talks. She's probably more competent than most of us. Maybe."
"As I was saying… I can see the trail of the magic. I can follow it, then destroy whatever is making it."
"Good. But, you'll be killed if spotted. We'd need a distraction." Ketil said.
"Oh, yeah, I've got that taken care of. They should arrive in a day or two." Daggat said.
"What? Who? How?" Ketil asked.
"I am a goblin of action. I've already got people on the way. They travel as the wolf does. Oh, and they are goblins, don't attack them."
"You… continue to astound and confuse me, goblin," Ketil said.
"I told you not to underestimate us. So, we wait for the distraction, then single out Mary. Take her down, while Elyndris and Zuss do the stealth thing. Sound good?"
Ketil glowered at him, "Yes… that is a good plan. Best we've got anyway."
"If we are going to wait for a few days, food will be an issue," Pat said. "We've a lot of mouths to feed."
Daggat rolled his eyes. "Do I have to do everything for you people? Here." He walked to a nearby table, then pulled out the venison from the inventory and dropped it on the table. "Just eat around the roots, you should be fine."
Pat and Ketil just blinked at him.
"WHAT? Am I the only one who prepares around here?"
Pat inspected the meat dubiously, then shrugged. "Well, it's fresh."
Daggat wandered towards where the rest of his crew had gathered, but he was suddenly pulled aside. Ketil had him by the arm and dragged him into another room.
Once alone, he turned on him, "You're people killed Leofric, didn't they? And Lisa?"
"Hey, he was the hostile one. Blue eyes, n'all. Thanks for covering for me. Maybe you're alright."
"I can't have the people more worked up than they already are. Everything went to hell the moment you showed up. So, if you pull ANYTHING, I won't turn my ax next time."
"Gah, Ketil. That's a bit intense. Look, you domed me pretty good last time, I will admit that. But. We're not against you guys. That'd be suicide. But, hey, while we're here, something else came up I didn't want to share out there."
"What?"
"So, we killed about a quarter of the goblin clan leaders' army."
"That's good."
"Well. Yes and no. See, I know that guy. He's a prick. Hogo will take it personally. That means he's going to make sure whatever killed his bosses is dealt with. That's us."
"How big an army?"
"Minimum, one hundred and twenty-ish. But, they hired some orcs. If I were a betting goblin, I'd put a coin on them having orcs or wargs with them."
"That's… not good. We don't have the numbers, even if we save the people here."
"Yeah. Oh, speaking of coins… where is my money?"
"What money?"
"Don't play dumb with me. My stuff. The bag that was at the inn. I bet you have it."
"What if I do?"
"Oi, our relationship is strained enough already, beardy. Neither of us wants me pissed off."
"Do you think you are in a position to threaten me?"
Daggat grinned at him with the glee of a predator. "Yes."
"You're an asshole, you know that? Most of us are grieving right now." Ketil said, but Daggat's bag appeared in his hand. He roughly pushed it into the goblin's arms.
"Just remembered who hit who with an ax." Daggat put the bag in his inventory.
He left the dwarf without saying anything. Finally, he made his way to his party.
Hunter was bandaging Elyndris's wing as if that could help.
"Hey, guys. So, fun day, huh? Anything to report?"
"Well, I am ready to evolve," Hunter said.
"Oh, yeah! It is about that time, isn't it? What sort of options do you have? You should have the point."
They moved into the status void. It costs a single biotrait point to evolve, which Daggat thought was utterly unfair. Mortals didn't spend a skill point to get a class!
"Well, there's giant stuff. A few ogre choices. Cyclops, Ettin, Oni, and stuff like that. Wendigo and Ghoul, too."
Daggat noticed another ogre evolution available. Feral Ogre. But, he said nothing.
"Any of them have lore? Anath bought us a lore thingy."
"Um, ettin. But it was just a story about a two-headed ogre eating their way through a kingdom. Nothing special. There's a weird one, too. Wendigo. I think it's a hunger-core thing. It's about a human who was forced into cannibalism, until he started to… um, like it. I don't want that one."
"There is a tale about oni, courtesy of Pote," The Assistant added. "It is long and full of dreary descriptions of heroism and the uniting of kingdoms and such. Five ogre brothers, each stronger than the last. Ghoul, Oni, Marid, Shaitan, and Ifrit. They became the five Dragons of the desert before they fell to infighting. Since Ghoul and Oni are an option, I imagine the others may be a latter ogre form."
"What does the story say about ghoul and Oni?"
"Ghoul, the voracious scavenger. Oni, the wise one."
"We already have a scavenger," Hunter laughed. "I like the sound of Oni."
"Well, what are you waiting for?" Klaw said, "GO!"
Hunter made the selection. He slumped forward, then glowed brightly. Everyone in the room turned to watch. Suddenly, he jumped up with a "Whoa ho!"
His skin had become a deep red, and two horns grew to match his tusks. There was a more mature, muscular quality to him now. His eyes glowed with an inner light. The metal boot that had become his foot was now mirrored on the other side and had risen further. As though they and Hunter were designed to fit together.
The crowd hushed and whispered amongst themselves. Hunter blushed, which manifested as an orange shade on his face.
"Cool!" Klaw said.
"Intimidating, I like it," Zuss added.
"Oooooh." Was all Anath managed.
"Ah, I forgot to mention." The Assistant added, "Oni, The wise and Cruel. He who is rage and hunger. The brother who jealously tore their family apart. Oops." He began to cackle madly.
Hunter frowned at him, and then he scowled. "I still have the curse."
"We'll get rid of it," Anath said, rubbing his shoulder.
"Also, I got a couple feats. The strength and constitution one. I can become even bigger… but I don't know if I should."
"Wait!" Daggat said, "Grab it and move it to the side. You can hold off on accepting it. Then, you can grow bigger if you want to later. If not, it's just a nuisance, but it's worth the option."
"Okay. Um… let's see. My disease resistance got plague resistance now. As for oni... Plus three to strength, two to constitution, and will. Oh, and a point of intelligence! Then I got a biotrait called Spellbrand. Oh, and Gorger mutated."
"Spellbrand? What… is that?" Elyndris asked.
"Spellbrand. The user gains the instinct to cast a specific spell. This spell is determined by a myriad of factors." The Assistant read.
"That's a thing!?" Elyndris cried. "What does it do? Cast it!"
"Not in here," Hunter said. "I think I can… but I'm not sure what it does. Outside first. I picked Soul Food. Gorger makes my mental stats better now."
Daggat hummed to himself. Hunter was coming into his own now. Depending on the spell, He could have become more powerful. They just needed to work on that soft heart of his.
