Plot points/Scenes
ACT I
SCENE 1
Packing up to go.
Tafu reminds everyone to drink their water. Xac says a sandstorm is coming. When you live in the desert this long, you know. Xac request that we stay here. After your fight with the Purple Wormling, you have deserved a long rest.Scene 2
Welcome to Káfsi Kin
As you march south to Káfsi Kin you notice an impending sandstorm (1d6+4 damage per/min) if you choose not to take cover. NATURE CHECK DC 17 (You can tell the storm is moving rather quickly)
There are small caves burrowed in the Southern Dunes. Some of the holes are small fit for a goblin and others are massive fit for an adult Purple Sand Worm. The you fought was a baby.
Side Quest: Cave of Madeye The Exiled
(Are you Being Stealthy as you entery the cave? Roll a Stealth Check DC 13. Roll Perception DC12)
Deep in the bowls of the cave you see shimmers of lights reflecting off of the water in the cave.Dag's goblins are more feral than Xac's. They fight over food. There are more here, about 25, and they even have their own fight pit set up. Off, in the far, far distance, is a small town. It is about a 20-minute walk.
Reaching Káfsi Kin
The Desert Goblin Tribe of Káfsi Kin is lead by a Hobglin DAG THE COLD
Dag is the biggest and baddest Hobglin in town. He is very much a pirate (Level 5/ Barabarin). He isn't one to play nice with adventures. However, freedom can be brought. If you have anything shinny he'll take it. Dag isn't the smartest Hobglin in town either. Maybe it's his old age, even Xac believes someone should dethrown that guy.Xac tells you as you approach a small encampment, 8 covered wagons in a circle, this is Káfsi Kin. In a pin are about 8 Worgs vilently playing or attacking each other.
While we're here, Xac will tell you, "Ok, Dag is a cold-hearted son-of-a-bitch. To avoid a fight, things will work better if you're my prisoner." He hates humans and adventures. An Adventure's bag of holding almost killed Dac. The Legend of the Bagman.
[quote]When he tried to leave, though, he became lost amid a constantly increasing number of extradimensional storage spaces. Over time, the strange forces of this magical in-between place transformed the adventurer into a monstrous creature. Now, every night, the Bagman slips out from a random bag of holding. If he doesn't find his home, he drags someone back into the bag with him and leaves behind some trinket from his hidden kingdom of lost junk. Some say that if you speak too loudly over an open bag of holding or whisper "follow my voice" into a magical storage space three times, the Bagman will come for you.
The Goblins under his control are a lot more farel than my tribe, they will slaughter you!!!
If you go into the town. The town is deserted and is clearly goblin-run. There is no order. It is the scene in Gremlins where they have taken over.
Investigation Check DC12 -- There is a sign in the town center that points to a one-story inn/motel (Gatz), Magic Shop (Flaaz), and a Tavern (Anq). The only place that seems to be jumping and open is The Tavern, Anq.
Upon reaching Dag, he thanks Xac for bringing him such fine adventures. He has the Worgs that are to be delivered to SORAC, The Goblin King.You can choose to fight Dag and his goblins here and now. 20 Goblins and 1 Hobgoblin Barbarian Level 5.
Dag says before your execution, you can buy your freedom. If you wish. If you have no coin, then today is your last day in this realm.
Inn/Motel (Gatz)
This is not the place to sleep.
Magic Shop (Flaaz)
Run by the non Magical person Flaaz. She tries to sell you everything in the shop. Potions are just WATER, MILK, SAND, and ORANGE JUICE. Wands are just broken pieces of wood. A shop full of magic items, but nothing in here has a magical properties.
Tavern (Anq)
Inside the Tavern, there is a huge fight ring. It is a fucking brawl, and at the center is the new Hobgoblin GUNTHER (Level 5 Monk). He heard of an old bull who needed to be put out to pasture, and he is currently trying to galvanize the local Goblins by showing a pure feat of strength to kill Dag.
By coming into the Tavern, it looks like our heroes have stumbled upon a small Goblin Coup in the higharchy.
"Gunther believes adventures can serve his cause and do not need to be executed if they cannot afford to pay. 90% of our take goes to the Goblin King anyways."
Scene 3
Dethrowning The King / Keeping The King In Power
If you have already killed Dag, then this is the perfect opportunity for Gunther, and he is in your debt, but he tells his followers that he did it.
If you have not, he enlists your help and says that this civil war has waged on far too long and the goblins of Káfsi Kin deserve a ruler who will not get fat while those beneath him starve. Even though that is the goblin way and that's what they do.Káfsi Kin
Or you can choose to do nothing. This isn't your fight, and walk away. You got the Worgs and your freedom. Say fuck it and move on.
Scene 4

As you finished that fight do you want to proceed into Nasir Mmoja or do you want to rest? Xac would tell you this close to the outskirts of Nasir Mmoja we are safe, no one leaves, only travelers enters and other goblins enter. They will not bother us, espcially if we are far off the beaten path.
NASIR MMOJA (need its own city map)
Think Goblin Vegas! This place is full of captives dancing, Giant Scorpian fights, Cock fights, regular fights - a lot of fighting. This is a tribe of nomadic thugs. Human women and men walk with chains around their necks. There is a giant demolished temple - members of house Liabon woud know this to be the temple of Liabon.While you are here you need to find Araignée. He is a member of House Akunase. "which means he is a drow". Araignée would be in extreme pain from the scortching heat.
Show spoiler
Sorac - The Goblin King wears elf ears around his neck. He is not the same size as a goblin but he stands normal height for a Human but a giant for a Goblin.
