[h3][color=ff0000]Goblin Ren[/color][/h3] [color=ff0000]Discovering /// Early Mourning // Day 5[/color] [hr][@Wildman13][@Duthguy][@Jangel13][@Darked13][@demonspade64][@ReusableSword] As the goblins fought skeleton after skeleton, the world around Ren began to blur, until finally, darkness..... Peering into the inky void around him, the goblin could barely make out the shape of sloping walls, as heat began to build up around him. As the chamber around him grew hotter and hotter, Ren's body began to melt, his screams of agony failing to leave his mouth as his form turned to mush. The chamber began moving, lifted into the air, and before being carried over to what appeared to be a vat of molten steel. As Ren was emptied into the vat, an unseen hand mixed the contents thoroughly, before pouring the mixture into a mold. Mere moments passed before the mold was broken, revealing a red hot steel ingot. From the darkness a hammer swung down on the burning metal, each strike shaping the metal, the sound reverberating throughout the void. Strike after strike, a body took shape, and as it did, the ringing echos became a song. As the metal's song met it's crescendo, a pair of tongs shoved the form into a black liquid before Ren suddenly snapped awake. Sitting up as the world came into focus, Ren quickly realized that his body was not his own. The form he saw before him was much larger, covered in stone grey skin, and filled with incredible strength. Was what he saw before truly just a dream? Or had something changed him? As he rose to his feet, Ren felt heavier, as if everything, down to his very bones had thickened (whilst failing to realize all of his clothing had been destroyed). Looking about, he saw that the others had changed in miraculous ways as well. Though some of his friends immediately ran out of the church, two of them seemed to kneel and start talking to... a statue? After they walked away, Ren briefly studied the sculpture, not finding it to be anything special. Intending to ask about it, he followed them into what appeared to be a library. Right before asking, he hesitated, something deep inside him was hesitant to let them know how intelligent he was. However, there was an easy workaround, [color=red]"Why talk to rock?"[/color] he asked as he approached the two.

When near a dead body or a skeleton the goblins are able to draw strength without the requirement of being necromancers. Even carrying a skull as an adornment allows the goblins to be stronger, faster, lighter as they draw strength. However, drawing all the strength of a certain dead body or their parts will cause it to disintegrate into dust.
