After pulling Kulus away from his meeting with some mages, the party presses him on Yor and what he knows. It doesn’t take long for him to crack and divulge he’s been intimidated by Zekris & the Khans. With the help of his (flirty) servant & friend Hous, they want to figure out the source of the caravan raids.
The party also speaks with Jinx, who is enthralled to see a living construct that doesn’t want to kill on sight. She recommends they go visit her brother who’s the expert on constructs and asks SP0-RK a bunch of questions.
They visit Lynx who gives them info on the current state of Coriolis, turns out he was on a team to investigate the city and lost his arm and leg there. The Living Constructs there have a black light and smoke. Terrified by this relization, SP0-RK and CAI Resign to stay disconnected from the network for as long as humanly possible.
That night the party heads out to find some Goblins, and it doesn’t take long before they do, Trying to take as few casualties as possible, and capture the goblins instead of kill them, it doesn’t take long for them to find the Goblins don’t want to be doing this either.
After a brief conversation in Goblin between Caslight and one goblin named Greg Goblin, the party is led to their leader, but not before being frisked by some hobgoblins along the trail, and being shown how to avoid some of their goblin traps.
In the village it seems to be in celebration, of what? Nobody knows, but there is a bugbear wedding going on in the fighting ring (wrestling). Going into the cave their leader is in, they turn out to be a fey lord, who styles himself “The Goblin King.”
The party makes a deal with this goblin King, take out Yor and extract the kings name from him, therefore revoking the deal he was forced to make with Yor & Zekris. The party has 2 hours to prepare before Yor comes to claim “Tribute.” They do this by making a Fey deal, Caslight exchanges her name and the Goblin King exchanges his, from this they are bound.
