He is just making spaghetti
Hobgoblin Zats


Zats would have enough trouble already figuring out the meaning of the human's writing, even with pictures, if the church was completely silent but several of the goblins were talking to each other about them using rabbit sinew. While he didn't want to discourage them sharing ideas or even just getting to know each other it was still distracting. Part of him wanted to tell them to be quiet but instead he did his best to tune them them out.

Stil it was frustrating and eventually Zats gave up, putting the book on the shelf. "Gah! So much for that." As he wondered what else he could do he remembered that as a goblin he once unsuccessfully tried to sense of trees. He wondered if he failed if it was simply impossible but he doubted that. After all Gravekeepers spirit allowed him to buff himself by using the energy of dead creatures. So maybe plants simply didn't have enough or he was too weak to sense it.

"Well, it's worth a shot." Part of him wondered if the Goblins might still prove to be distracting while another part that them being so energetic might make it easier. Hoping that those two factors would even out Zats closed his eyes and tried to sense the Goblins' energy without interacting with it as he didn't want to accidentally harm them by draining it.



@Jangel13Zats is in the church
@Duthguy Did Zats ignore/not hear Arch and Gird before going out, or would he have left before they spoke/just after Goblin Grandpa said it was fine with the amount he offered the young goblins?


He didn't hear.
Hobgoblin Zats


Zats took his own of the berries he had collected and headed out the church. When he got to what looked like a good spot he used his rabbit horn to dig several small holes in the ground and planted his loot. After covering the holes back up he considered looking for one of those swords. He quickly decided to stick with his spear since he was pretty good with it.

So Zats left the church-grounds in order to look for a good decent sized stick, he looked both on the forest floor and in the trees since he didn't want to waste too much time on this task. After about five minutes he came across a tree with several branches that seemed like they would make decent sticks. After thinking it over for a bit he decided he might as well go for them all since young could probably use some weapon.

He set his shield at the base of the tree and started climbing. It took him some effort but eventually he made it and began breaking of the branches he thought would make good spears.

Five minutes later Zats was back on solid ground and had four mostly straight sticks of varying lengths, which he thought was a decent amount. Back at the church he dropped three of them on the ground. Since he unfortunately ha no way to combine his rabbit horn and stick into a spear that would have to wait. Instead he headed for the few books still in the church to try and learn to read them.

I don't use imperial so I might just be converting something wrong here but wouldn't 4 ft arms be freakishly long on a child?


According to google 4feet is 122 cm, both arms of an adult together have a total wingspan roughly equal to their bodyheight so yeah those are some freakishly long arms

Zats was relieved this would be the last they had to get food for their younger siblings as well as themselves, not that he begrudged them for it after all he was once in their position. Still it would be nice to have more time to spend on his interests than on gathering as much food as he could.

It was a shame that his spear broke while fighting a Horned Rabbit earlier but he was sure that with his shield and instant armor he should be fine. He broke the horn form his prey and used it to skin the meat, using the fur as a makeshift loincloth before eating his fill of the animal.

Knowing that if he dragged the rabbit home like this dirt and such would make it inedible Zats buried the remains of the meat and looked for some other food to give to the little ones.

After a few minutes he came across a bush growing berries and plucked a handful, figuring they would be good enough since the other Hobgoblins would no doubt bring back bigger bounties and they could plant the seeds to make things easier in the future. With that in mind he headed back to the tribe's new home.

Once he was back in the church he showed his loot to Grandpa Goblin to see if they were edible or if he would feel obligated to waste more time hunting.

@SilverPaw about 4 feet long about the size of a child's arm and yes anyone can break of a rabbits horn with enough strength and effort


Wow, that is a lot longer than I thought.
@Jangel13 wait do we keep our skills from the last edition, or are the other vets tryna pull a fast one here?
