With Goblins and wolves within the sanctuary of the tavern and the departure of Robes the mysterious taverns occupants are in a perpetual change.
Who will be next to arrive and leave and where will their paths take them?
Sick is still looking at keep with moon eyes, begging for a job to please the mrs his hands are out palms up.
Looking down at the pathetic goblin in front of her Keep mutters something under her breath...
"Maybe Grim will want you to help him"...
meanwhile outside the tavern Grimwrinkle is happily skipping around singing to himself as he heads slowly away from the tavern....
Looking around the the errant goblin Keep realises he is gone and slams open the door goes outside...
Looking around for him she spots his erratic meanderings...
"GRIM! Wanna earn some shinies?"
The magic word! Quick as a flash and seemingly from nowhere Grimwrinkle is at keeps feet
"oooo shinies, where?where?" he starts to examine Keep lifting up loose clothing and limbs "no no no no shinies here our love, only melons"
Keep removes the goblins dirty paws from her.
"I need you to go somewhere and find out something for me. Ill give you shinies "...
"oooooooo whas that then missus? and how much shinies? and how far we goes? and ....... what we doing?..... oooooooh yeeeaaaas SHINIES" he dances a little jig then turns to face Keep again screaming "Peeeeeeekibooooooos! MELONS!" haappy as a pig in ****
"give us da shinies then keepses, pleeeeeeeeaaaaaase" he looks up with puppy dog eyes.....
Looking at the goblin with a smile, Keep sighs, knowing full well that where she sends him may not be friendly but needing information, she has no choice.
“Grimwrinkle, do you know of the stone circle, away in the hills, where the dead lie?” She indicates the general direction, watching his face for recognition, knowing his travels have taken him far and wide.
“Remain here whilst I fetch shinies..”
Leaving him to think on her question Keep dissapears into the tavern for a short while before reappearing with a small leather pouch.
“ I need is for you to go and sneak and watch then return and tell me what you see. Grim is an excellent sneaker this would be easy for him. Will you go Grim?” she asks whilst opening the pouch where he can see and revealing the contents.
Many small crystals glitter and sparkle in the light. Rays of coloured light seem to reflect in many different directions lighting the goblins eyes with an array of sparkling colours......
Cartwheeling around the tavern and out of the doors he overhears Keep and Grim talking about shinies Sick then starts to sing "Shinies shinies we loves shinies" As he cartwheels around his loincloth is flapping around all over the place.
