Leaving the center building with the so called Goblin Chieftains as they adamantly wanted to be called in our last discussion, I have some preparations to complete myself. As they get to work protecting themselves using the masses.

Arriving at a house where moans and screams were abundant. I made my way in glancing around looking for the woman from this morning and it was just a giant roofed area with women lying on the ground as goblins surrounded them relieving themselves of all their little bits of pent up stress. But it wasn't just humans in here, Elves, Orcs, Dwarves, Ogres and some races I haven't seen before they look like humans only they have the ears of an animal and a tail. I'm guessing a beastmen race with heavily diluted blood only showing minor animal characteristics, I wonder if they still have the heightened senses of the beastmen or more human like senses. I guess I can take one with me.

That's when my attention was drawn over to a side of the room where a few people being held down as they tried to flail and swat the goblins away from them moving my way over some of the goblins noticed me and started to clear a path as I made my way through until I was at where the woman was struggling. No one noticing my presence except for the woman who was staring at me in horror. Doubling down on her efforts to try and break free.

"Move."

The goblins holding her glance my way earning him a heel to the jaw sending him toppling over.

"If you don't stop struggling I will break a few bones until your cooperative. I just need you to come with me for a little. A much better deal than your current predicament, No?"

Glancing her over, she was still struggling to get free from the goblin's grasps.

"Release her, and if she tries anything I'll find someone else more willing." the Goblins still not releasing her I grab one of the goblin's hands closing my hand around it causing a sickening crunching.

"What did I say."

The goblin grasped its hand as it let go yelping as it scampered away causing the ones around it to release a crackle at their friend's misfortune. Get up and follow me, this is not a desirable place to talk.

Watching as she got onto her feet she moved just a hair away from me glancing wearily at the goblins. I made my way out of the enclosure moving over to the junk pile.

"Sit." She dropped to her knees before the words were even fully formed with a soft plop.

"So, I'm going to need you to answer a few questions and if I find them satisfactory I'll keep you as a pet or something. So to start what's your name."

She stared at me, before opening her mouth.

"What do you want, ooh." She has no tung or well she missing most of her tung all she has is a small stub. Did the goblins do it, no the cut was clean and has healed so it must have been done beforehand, an injury or was it done to her before she was left here. It's just a simple fix I can just stimulate her cells with some mana and she should have a new tongue in few hours.

"If I healed your tongue would you be able to tell me what this is?" Holding up the metal crossbow, she nodded.

"Ok, In one week, I'll come back, for you and maybe a few others. But first, you must know what I am saving you from, Ooh and try and get pregnant I will need some labourers and test subjects." Glancing at her panicking eyes darting about looking for a way out. "Now, Will you go back willingly or will I have to heal more than your tongue?"

She just looked down trembling with tears brewing in her eyes.

"Now that's a good girl. I thought I was going to have to heal a bit more but it seems you have a brain in that head of yours."

Bringing her back, she quietly went to a corner and just laid face down. Leaving once more I made my way back to the junk pile. I got to work.

It's been 4 days since the last raid and I have roughly gone through all the junk. I've turned a cloak into a ruffly made bag. I have found a few weapons of my era a few large maces and axes too big to be wielded by the goblins the only problem was the state of the weapons, they weren't in a bad state but rather almost perfectly fine. I don't think old weapons would still be in a good state so if I had to guess these weapons are relatively new, but why would they need these weapons when they have those fancy crossbows, maybe sport, recreation. Then why do the goblins have them? More questions I need to be answered.

Loading all I could fit into the bag I picked it up and did some light shaking of the bag to see how well it would hold up. Sadly it was subpar as the binding holding it together came slightly loose. I'm gonna have to double the layers and try and make the binding tighter. lowering the bag I went to do some simple checkups.

The woman was laying currently laying on the ground near the edge of the room trying her best to ignore the goblins doing as they please with her as she just stared in my direction. With a small glimmer in her eyes. after checking up on her and a few other women that still had a wisp of life in their eyes. then I made my way to the center building as all the land around the area has been dug up and being recovered with a shoddy wooden roof that was being relayered with dirt. They might finish on time.

Smiling I started towards my final destination. A small hut near the edge of the camp was built not too long ago by a small tribe that joined. What I wanted was the goblin that made their residence. In particular, their homebrewed version of alchemy, it was very different from what I knew from what seemed right. it was an effective quick and wasteful version of alchemy but it had a 100% success and I wanted to learn as much of it as I could before they came back. Luckily the larger goblin was more than happy to spread his knowledge to others and he wasn't the only one in the small tribe but several others in his tribe were also capable of this alchemy but none as good as he was. Also what was intriguing about this small tribe they were split into two groups one the Alchemists smaller but they all had a more sickly green tone to their skin and were a lot slower than other goblins and the second group had a darker skin tone than most goblins and were more avid hunters and gathers compared to the rest of the goblins.

The talks with these goblins were interesting to say nonetheless, Something I would have to study more.
