Day 11
Redfang Tribe Camp

    Brawt introduced himself to Twankle and Glub by eating one of his own gang members whole and alive as he screamed "NOOOOO!" as they waited for an audience with Chief Bignose. Little Talks was away from camp looking for a dark slime for some reason.
    Chief Bignose told the bosses they were to interrogate the hareborn Ostaria Luckyfoot, find the location of the dragon eggs, and return them to the tribe for the Spring Equinox celebration. 
     The bosses found out everything they needed from Ostaria by intimidation including the location of the hideout in the Shadowglade Forest, the exact locations of the six hareborn guards in the tunnels, and that there were fifteen dragon eggs. Brawt ended the interrogation by licking Ostaria's face and leaving. Ostaria wiped herself off and shivered as the bosses left.  

Day 11-13
Redfang Tribe Camp and Territory

     The bosses survived off the land and headed southwest towards the Shadowglade Forest.

Day 14
Shadowglade Forest

      The bosses spotted a giant green goblin attacking six hareborn hunters. Twankle recognized it as a troll and decided to take the opportunity of the troll being distracted to sneak up to it, ride its back, and steal its skull and teeth necklace. Twankle hid and put the necklace on as a belt. Meanwhile Brawt and Glub cheered the troll on as it slaughtered the poor hareborn and then left with the bodies.





Day 14
Hareborn Hideout 

      The bosses slaughtered the first three hareborn they saw.  






     Glub recklessly looked for dragon eggs and found two of them right in the middle of the fight. Brawt kicked the south guard into a wall and broke his femur. Twankle stabbed a hareborn guard with her shank as her gang members lunged at the second hareborn guard in the north and pierced him with their spears. Brawt found a single dragon egg and Twankle found two after the battle.





Day 14
Hareborn Hideout Entrance

     As the bosses left the hideout, they were spotted by Rojer and a band of twelve hareborn hunters stealing the eggs. Rojer screamed in anger, "Give us back the dragon eggs or die goblins!" Glub smirked and said, "Ostaria said we could have them. Come takebacksies if you can!" Rojer, "I exiled her for cheating on me. How dare she tell you about the dragon eggs, that traitorous harelot!"
      Twankle tried to set a trap at the entrance. The agile hareborn jumped over her trap and then a surprised Twankle started to run as the hareborn shot one her gang members. Glub and Brawt made to stay and fight as well but the sight of more hareborn hunter groups converging on the entrance convinced them it was time to run. Rojer and his hareband pursued them.
      The bosses weaved through the forest dodging branches and then slid down into a chasm, swam over a river, and then climbed the other side as one of Brawt's gang members was turned into a pincushion on the gorge wall. Rojer's bowstring snapped as he was about to hit Glub. 

[Kevin played Mechanical Malfunction.]

   The bosses ran for the safety of the Shadowglade Forest as Brawt ambushed one of the hareborn but the bosses were cut off from further retreat by thickets. 

Day 14
Shadowglade Forest

       Glub intimidated by screaming, "I'll be the one to kill you Rojer!" 
       


      Rojer bounced forward with a mad gleam in his eye and stared at Glub. The hareborn hunters formed rows and launched arrows at the bosses, picking off one of the gang members.
      Brawt hit Rojer with his battle bracer, leaving him shivering. 


      Twankle and the remaining gang members surrounded Rojer.  



      Brawt's next strike left Rojer wounded. Rojer's dagger bounced off Brawt's thick hide. Half his men drew daggers and surged into melee to assist their leader, slaying two gang members. The other six aimed their bows on Glub. The arrow rain left him moderately wounded and staggering. Glub slashed at Rojer but he nimbly dodged twice.           


       Suddenly the troll returned in a berserk rage," You rabbits or you goblins steal my necklace! Me kill you all till I get it back!" The enraged troll then killed two hareborn hunters effortlessly.          


       Within seconds, the troll regained stamina and another two hareborn hunters died.
       Twankle shanked the hareborn hunter nearest her and then skulked off into the brush to hide from the troll.  
        Rojer and the hareborn hunters stabbed at Brawt, Glub, and the troll but merely slowed them down.  
        Glub finished off Rojer and Brawt and his gang member killed two of the hareborn hunters.




      The troll killed two more hareborn hunters as Brawt grabbed a hareborn hunter by the ears and smashed him into the last one like he was a bat. Glub tried to negotiate with the troll but it didn't work as the troll turned towards them. Twankle continued hiding.
       As the troll approached his rage subsided somewhat as he smelled something good on Glub. The troll said, "You give me egg and that necklace and me forgive you."  Glub, "And we can be friends?" Troll, "Yes you can be friend." Glub, "I'm friends with the Goblin God!"
       Twankle returned as the troll left with the six hareborn it had slain. She smiled and pointed at her belt in triumph.
      
Day 15
Shadowglade Forest 

      The bosses came upon a group of huddled and sleeping porcupine men with porcupine guards as lookouts. They didn't seem to notice their presence. The bosses decided they didn't look tasty enough due to all the quills and spikes and circumvented them.  

Day 16-17
Redfang Tribe Territory to Redfang Tribe Camp

      The bosses shared food with the wounded Glub who couldn't hunt for himself.

Day 18 Spring Equinox Celebration
Redfang Tribe Camp

      Chief Bignose gave the bosses a knick-knack per dragon egg found. Then everyone had a huge feast of dragon egg omelets to celebrate the Spring Equinox!

Day 19
Redfang Tribe Camp

       Glub got two war-axes and a special harness for them that could be used during his transformations to be carried even as a wolf. It cost him two human swords and six knick-knacks.

Day 20-30
Redfang Tribe Camp
   
         The bosses recruited new gang members and waited for Glub to rest up and heal before their next mission from Chief Bignose.

Day 31
Redfang Tribe Camp

         Chief Bignose introduced them to Izzy Toecutter, purportedly the last of the Treebiter Tribe. Izzy had a mutation where his jaw was bigger than most goblins and it was filled with razor sharp teeth that seemed to grow back like a shark. Izzy had a nasty habit of biting his toenails to the point of making them bleed due to his big maw. Brawt licked his toes but was immediately disgusted by the taste of forest moss and fungi on them. Brawt contorted his face in disgust and said, "You taste like vegetable! Yuck!" 
         Izzy Toecutter wanted the bosses to investigate the site of the Treebiter Tribe Camp and find out what happened to his Tribe.  He presented two different directions one through the Shadowglade Forest and one through Hightree Ridge to get to the camp and the bosses decided to go through the Shadowglade Forest. 


Day 32-33
Redfang Tribe Territory
           
        Izzy shared his provisions with Glub whom he felt a kinship with as another goblin who had lost his tribe. Twankle and Brawt found a lot of game.

Day 34
Shadowglade Forest

     The bosses made their way through the Shadowglade Forest but didn't find anything. It was oddly quiet...
