The door creaks opens, prudent if done on purpose. We enter, the room is quite large I can barely see the edges of it.
It looks like a medieval kitchen, dark, dank and smells of a multitude of odours. In what was the fire place sits a the largest and oldest looking goblin I have yet to see. For a lack of things to compare him to he looks like his skin is made of ball sacks it is that wrinkled, and there was a wisp of light grey hair on his chin.
“ why have you come” he growls.
“ This youngling, he wrong..weird. He listen and do without kicking. And make his litter do with out kicking. He not green. Strange…strange. Elder know what to do with freak. Right ,right Elder.” The she-gob spills to the old one.
So the elder is the oldest goblin in this..what tribe, community? He stands up with a using a wooden stick, and waddles over.
He walks around me. I watch him, his face is unreadable. “ You speak young one?” The old thing asks.
I nod.
“ Very strange for one so young.” He utters, turning to the she-gob. “ Has he been named.”
“ No elder, he not old yet.” She replies.
So you only get a name when your old enough, common enough in tribal societies.
“ Hummmm, he has yet to under go the rite of passage and his knowledge is great.” The old one holds his wrinkled and grey haired chin in. “ Yes yes….. ummm…. should I….. no no…. possible” the elder mumbles to him self.
“ That will do… yes yes..for now.” He continues to mutter. “ I shall name you Gray.” Wow what an imagination. The elder turn to the she-gob. “ Take him back. Start teaching them. Bring him back when he has learnt.” He instructs her. She nods. I stare a the old thing.
*……..!*
I step to the side, narrowly dodging a kick to my behind.
“ HUH, how you know.” The she-gob glares at me, the points toward the door.
I start to head towards the door. I look around as I walk. There seems to be quite a lot of cobwebs. Walking out of the door, *CREEEEEAAAK* The she-gobs closes it, and the starts to head back the way we came.
Following at a slower pace I notice that there is also a lot of web out here, actually its ever where. By the time I get back to the room in which I have been living in I am extremely tried, my other sibling are already asleep. This has been the most I’ve done since I was reborn a bit sad that just walking around has tired me out, I approach my sister and lay down next to her drifting off to sleep.
I awake in pain, my side is throbbing.
“ HAHA, got you freak, you not move this time HAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA.” I look up and it the she-gob from yesterday. Dancing up and down in glee. “ See see this how gobs learn” she continues to laugh. Her laughter wakes the others.
I get up glaring at her
“ Follow.” She then leaves the room, still holding my side I follow her reluctantly.
Looking behind as I leave the room the others are following they’re bigger again I look at myself as am I.
The sister that followed me first yesterday I quickly catching up a lot less wobbly than yesterday.
The she-gob which I’m mental naming Coral, dumb as rock and painful.
Coral leads us back to the grub room I notice a few more goblins of both sexes. They seem to have crudely made spears and clubs. All of the are wearing loin cloths and various other items like belts or bandoleers or simple packs made from animal pelts.
“ Eat.” Coral points to the wall. “ ‘llowed two.” The others look at her perplexed. She looks around the room purposely ignoring their gazes.
*sigh* I walk to the wall reach into two different holes and draw out some grubs, the others look at me.
Holding up one of them “ One.” Then the other “ Two.” Then I take a bite, while eating I mumble out “Eat.”
So the others then approach the wall they all do as I have.
The smarter of the sisters, I think I’m going to call her Lily. As she pulls them out goes “ one…two.*Giggle*”
*…………*
“ When finished back room…….freak.” Coral growls, then wonders off.
We all sit down and begin to eat. Status screen I call out in my head, I need to check that out as I’ve gained things in the last couple of days.

I notice that all of my stats bare luck has risen by one apart from leadership which has risen by three, I’m guessing that’s due to getting my sibling to copy me. I also noticed that the Awareness stat is in a percentage.
