Organizing the Goblin Resistance

Participants

• Gnob's Folly
• The   Gnome Oracle* (who should probably be given a name - "Goracle"?)
• The Gnome Oracle's Son (ditto)
• Probably others as the day goes on (filled in here)

• (*)Gnomes referred to in this article are actually Goblins, the only "real" Gnomes on the island being Gilerl and Thed.

Background

Setting: Gnob's Folly has just arrived at the Gnome Redoubt. They have learned some geographical notes, and outlined their plan for retrieving the Table of the Stars before the Sahuagin can lay their slimy fins on it.  Kib Absold has some plans first, however--he wishes to spend some time organizing the Gnomes into a force that loses fewer of its members in the day-to-day of patrol, has a lesser chance of betraying the Redoubt, and maybe, just maybe, will actually win a skirmish or two. To that effect, he earnestly enters discussion with the Oracle.

First evening

Kib Absold

Now that we've decided what we're going to do, I have some important matters to discuss with you. I have seen some of how your people conduct themselves in minor wartime actions--how you patrol, how you conduct your camp, and so on--and I believe there is much we can teach you about the technique of war. The knowledge you gain will almost assuredly save lives, and will win you valuable time in the conflict against the Sahuagin. There is a lot to learn, and not much time to teach it, but with your permission, I would like to begin immediately. I will first need as much information as you can give me about your available resources: How much food and fresh water do you have? Do you have a steady source, and is that source dangerous? Can you obtain a full tally of your available weaponry, with types and numbers of each armament, both defensive and offensive? Do you have anyone skilled in the use of magic? Have you determined the exact boundaries of the magical protection that keeps this base obscured? Do you have safe access to any construction materials? Do you have rough ideas about the contents of the other settlements on the islands? There is a lot more to go over, but this can serve as a starting point. I am sorry to ask so much at once, but I'm sure you understand that we have absolutely no time to lose.
