stoicsentry: Jack guided Lewendor, Xirdneh, Exile and the Djinn to the cave where he first encountered Krog and his Gobbler minions.

Without warning, the Gobblers swarmed onto them, ripping the bag from them and devoured the entirety of the 'yummy yummies' in a matter of moments.

Krog hid much of it within his own bag, hoping to have something to satiate the rest of the Gobblers later.

They erupted into a chant.

"MORE YUMMY YUMMY MORE YUMMY YUMMY!

Krog waved his hands to silence the crowd, for about the fiftieth time today.

"Person peoples have done well, so super well, much is our thanks... yes yes yes yes yes!!! Tonight, more yummy for everyone!

<crowd cheers>

"You wanted to know location of person people whose name doesn't rhyme, is that it?"

stoicsentry: Krog: Person people <Krog refuses to say his name, because it doesn't rhyme> is located on map where I put big "X". There you go! We find him for you. We know things many many things about big tall places, know where everyone go all times you need to know about person people in high tall big places again sometime, you bring more yummy, you have deal. Really simple deal for you.

Not knowing much about details.. but you go there, yes yes yes yes yes you will find person. You be careful now person peoples and...... you <confused, pointing to Djinn>... we know person people is camped out with piles of bones... you would call, undead. That is your person people word for it. That too scary! Good luck is wished to you...

Every party member has gained a small amount of reputation with the Gobblers. This is being reflected on their character pages as "Known by the Gobblers: Gobblers less likely to attack this character."

OOC: I will have the map when you are ready to venture there. It looks like we are nearing the end of the quest... or are we?

JudasIscariot: IC:

Jack looks at his teammates and speaks:

"Before we head out to find Miken, I think it would be best to go back to base, stock up on neccessary supplies, such as potions. We should be able to wring some other supplies out of the Black Brigade quartermaster. Maybe pointing the Djinn at him might get him to finally give us some weapons and armor instead of telling us to go buy some. We shoiuld also send out a reconnaissance team to the location on the map and see what sort of information they may gather. <whispering so the Gobblers don't hear> I don't feel like getting more yummy yummy by hook or crook. So, what say you?"

Landeril: He nods, looking towards Jack "I'm afraid I gave my team my last bit of gold. All I'll need is a potion and if they can spare it, a suit of armor. Put me up front and let the enemies come." Was all the warrior said as he shook his head, whispering back "I prefer to jsut be on our way."

He looks at Jack and shrugs "I can recon it, or you can send someone. I just say we take this Necromancer down."

JudasIscariot: "A warrior reconning? In full armor? I don't see that working out too well. Besides, reconning is best left for the specialised divisions in the Brigade. They've been lazing about anyways. I think the only thing they reconned recently was the cafeteria back at base and all they could figure out was that it serves something resembling food and that it has chairs. They need the practice..."

'They can also be magic fodder in case they bungle the recon...' thought Jack.

"Besides, like you said, you are as broke as a dinner plate at a Nog wedding so we need to get you outfitted anyways, Exile. I like my mea...I mean warriors to be well protected in the heat of battle."

Landeril: He caught the rogues stumble and gave a soft laugh, "Don't worry. I know what you mean. Elk felt the same when we fight said by side." He shook his head, "I'd enjoy the armor, so lets go. Lead the way, Jack."

He didn't mention that if needed, he would help Jack with the battle orders. Combat was his life, and well, it suited him well.

JudasIscariot: "Right then. Let's get out of here before the yummy yummy addicts get cranky. Also, make sure to say your prayers in order to appease this one god I have been hearing about...i think they call him/it Dee'E'Emmm. I heard he is a very tricky god. Maybe he's a god of rogues..."

<MASSIVE PLOT TELEPORTATION>

The party arrives at the Keep. They decide to visit the quartermaster. On the way to the QM, Jack manages to convince the Djinn to act scary at the QM in hopes of procuring some of the better weapons and armor for himself and his teammates.

Landeril: Exile shook his head and instead sent up a prayer to the Lady of War, his goddess.

<Post Teleport>

The Warrior looked on as the Djinn was convinced to scare the poor QM into handing over the weapons and armor. He could not think of a single thing to say. He just hoped they had a better sword then the steel he carried now.

OOC: Now would be a great time for a Anti-Dead weapon!

JudasIscariot: OOC: let's see what the DM does. We can't be too greedy with the plot :P

stoicsentry: The Brigade visited Gedrick the Nomad, the Supply Coordinator.

Gedrick: You want gear, eh? Bloody hell, didn't the Ringmaster already tell you, we're waiting for a shipment? Threatening me with Miken's Djinn, you think that's gonna get the armor lord or the weapons master restocked any time sooner? Hah, hardly!

Look, boys, you're new to the Brigade. I suggest you don't go around making waves like this at every opportunity. We're a nice bunch, but you don't wanna get on our bad side. Tell you what, I've got a few things set aside. I'll give each of you an item of your choice, all that low level type of stuff they have in the store right now.

In exchange, you cut me in on the P'Zecs loot. I want a full share, 20%! And if you stiff me, you're never getting in here to meet with me again. As far as I'm concerned, that in and of itself would be a blessing. So, whatd'ya say? Partners on the P'Zecs or get the bloody hell out of here?

OOC: The Supply Coordinator is apparently English. I'm kidding.
