Caught Cheating

You've been playing Krolla's chicken-chasing game long enough to spot the sleight of hand. When the bird she just slid into the ring isn't the same one you bet on, you call it out—and the goblin bookie's grin doesn't falter. Instead, she gets louder. She's got cronies flanking her now, yellow eyes flicking between you and the growing crowd of onlookers. She owes you gold and she knows it, but Krolla has never paid a debt she couldn't talk, cheat, or fight her way out of.

She's not paying. So what are you going to do about it?

Required Rest

You wake in what the goblins call the Recovery Ward - a repurposed temple antechamber where valuable prisoners are kept fed, sheltered, and presentable for the Absolute's purposes. Your keeper is a goblin who treats your captivity like a hospitality project she personally invested in. She brings meals she's proud of, adjusts your bedding with critical squints, and critiques your color like a merchant assessing livestock. You are a prisoner. You are also, by goblin standards, a valued guest. The line between those things has never been stranger.

Your captor wants you comfortable. That's somehow worse.

The Feathered Fortune

The goblin camp is alive with its usual chaos — drumming, fighting, the crackle of the feast fire — but the small figure blocking your path has something other than revelry on her mind. The goblin who runs the chicken-chasing games has been watching you, and now she's cornered you near the pens with a proposition she doesn't want overheard. She's heard about a bird — not just any bird, but something special, something being kept under guard near Ragzlin's throne room. Something that could change her standing in the camp forever. She's clever enough to take it. The only question is whether you're useful enough to be part of her scheme — and whether you can survive being her partner.

Every goblin has a scheme. Hers needs you.
