92 pieces of gold, from what I"m guessing was the wagon job that those two expendable goblins ask you to do for them to join you. But right now I really want some answers and the "cursed one" seems like the person most likely to answer them.

even we have priorities, this cursed one thing seems important.

Right now your excitement is overridden by your confusion, and maybe a little anger about people doing things without you.

No, no, what's the point of expendable minions if you leave them behind where it's safe. C'mon.

they know something, and I'm seeing more of that green shit that was in the room next to yours. Plus the purple mark is kinda similar to the green one in the room as well. Go in there and see what the hell is up.

Hmph. They don't want to go in after you? Sounds like they're scared. What good are cowardly minions?!

Bangles: "You're sharp and heavy now, I'm getting tired of being left out, I want to know what's going on!"

Kirska: "I've toughened my physical form, my frailness was a liability to you . . . I'm sorry I'm no longer huggable, I hadn't considered that advantage"

Bangles: "You put these dumb symbols here didn't you, what do mean?"

Kirska: "I did put them here, and they don't mean anything, I put them up to confound others for . . . fun."

Bangles: "your cloak looks stupid covering your face like that"

Kirska: "Really? I thought it gave me an air of mystery"

>>672458
Well I guess, but a proper cloak with hood would be better. Let's go get one! We've got gold now!

Also we need to offload some stuff, inventory's full.

>>672458
Bangles: Take off that top. It's all ratty and you look ratty. If you take it off, it won't be ratty on you and you'll look better. Then people will be more willing to hug you.

ok but no really, what the hell happen since bangles passed out. Who's the new goblin in the party. Where the hell did all that gold come from. There's a gap here that I would really liked filled.

Welp, you "gift" (curse?) has driven chiken crazy.

Ok but in all seriousness now who the hell are you and what the fuck is with the symbols?

Show us your face, Kirska! And there's probably other ways to hug.

Bangles: "I know the symbols mean something! I've seen them before!"

Kirska: "you cannot read, you recognize all symbols because all symbols look the same to you."

Bangles: "I . . . grrrrrrr", how do I know you're even the real Kurseka? show me your face!"

Kirska: "of course Catalyst"

Bangles: "I guess you look the same . . . you should buy a better looking cloak, actually I need to unload some of this junk I have as well"

Bangles looks through her bag

Bangles: ". . . OOH! MEAT!"

Kirska: "I can carry some of your things but we don't have time to do any shopping, we need to gather the troops if we're going to make it to the wagon job on time."

Fair enough, but where the hell did all that gold come from? Oh and what's up with all this gross moss crap that's everywhere?

If we can't hug than we should kiss~

Ew, kissing a kobold? What gnoll would want to do that?

>>672607
Yeah alright.

we can still boop her snoot.

anyway, yeah i guess we should get ready to leave. oh and tell her you seemed to have gotten the hang of one of those catalyst power things

Did Kirska turn your whole coming of the catalyst thing into a gang of raiding bandits while you were sleeping?

>Bangles did you invite these filthy southerner to our band?
if they bother you just threaten them, they seem to scare easily. Besides it's still two more bodies between you and whatever is trying to kill us that day.

So when do we need to leave to attack that wagon?

Our circumstances are currently more like those of adventurers than of knights, and if adventurers refused to associate with filthy people they would never get anything done.

Recruit? They just followed us here.

And what band, since when do we have a band?

Also, chiken isn't evil now is he? The symbol and the slime also seem kinda evil.

>>673719
What's wrong with that?

They followed me home, can I keep them?

>>672607
Looking kind of possessed there, really.

>Bangles did you invite these filthy southerner to our band?
They invited themselves! More minions are always good, filthy or not. We can dunk them in the river later if they're not clean enough for you.

>>673719
They worship me, Kirska! Maybe if you're nice they'll worship you too! We'll be like some kind of diynamic duo! The chosen and the cursed!

Ask her to remind you what the job is. It would be super awkward if we thought the job was robbing the wagons when it is actually escorting them or something.
