Zectoll
Zectoll went about following Grandpa Goblins instructions. The ceremony was a solemn one indeed. The sadness of Grandpa Goblin shown itself clearly, and Zectoll found the sadness of the cave's patriarch to be off putting. The sight of his kin's corpses being laid to rest distrubed him. It was as if some dormant part of his mind was activated. A sense of dread and anxiety washed over the young goblin, and he felt himself becoming restless. What could he do, to ease this feeling of dread. "Become stong, become fierce, become savage." Zectoll thought to himself. If he became stronger, perhaps this pang of fear in the back of his mind would ease.
After the ceremony Zectoll retired into the cave, his share of the spoils of the wolf hunt in hand. He thought to perhaps converse and wind down from the ordeals of current events with his hunting partners, only to quickly dismiss the notion. His comrades reaction to him sharing his inner personal revelations involving Xaal and Isurta were strange to him. It would seem that perhaps he had offended them in some way, though Kishi and Lomen had not shown such feelings completely. Zectoll remembered how Lomen had apologized for saying something out of turn to Kishi earlier in the day, and surmised that his two brothers held peculiar personalities. Or perhaps it was simply the stress of having family die in front of him, as well as the stress of mortal combat that produced such feelings in his brothers. Either way, Zectoll decided that He would keep his personal reflections to himself from now on.
Though there was one that Zectoll felt he could freely share his inner machinations with. Zectoll gathered two hinder quarters from his stash of wolf meat and went to talk with Grandpa Goblin. In his days of torment, the only relief he felt was when Grandpa Goblin came to give him food. Now he was strong enough to acquire food on his own, food he would gladly share with the cave's patriarch.
Zectoll held out his arm outstretched to Grandpa Goblin, his hand clutching a hindquarter of black wolf. For you Zectoll said as he made himself comfortable, sitting with his legs crossed, as he began to eat the opposite hind quarter of wolf. Today in our fight with the wolves, I acquired a skill. Savage Strike. The words appeared before my eyes describing the skill and it's effects. Do all goblins gain skills like this? Zectoll was eager to live, and in order to live he guessed that he would need more knowledge. Unlike Kishi, he was not naturally talented in crafting, nor had the natural wisdom that Lomen possessed. He would need to figure out what path he should take, in order to survive. I want to become strong and swift in body, like the black wolves. I doubt that they live in fear like we goblins do Zectoll said dejectedly. How can I accomplish this dream Grandpa?
Q. Do you date outside your race? If so how often?
A. Yes, I do. Most of the women I am surrounded by do not share my racial origins. Also the women who have been most enthusiastic about their attraction to me have also not been of the same race as I. So most of my "dating" life involves women not of my race for those two reasons.
Q. How do you view racial preferences as whole? (in society)
A. I view racial preferences as a concept that is for the most part socially motivated, rather than mostly biologically motivated like some would argue. In my experience I have found those who publicly state that they don't date X group or so, yet in private will carry on casual flings with members of X group clandestinely. It seems more to me to be a matter of status and group cohesion. In instances where someone with hard racial leanings regarding mate selection encounters a particularly high value individual of another race, they will often jump ship, the value of their new outgroup partner offsetting the loss of status and exclusion from the ingroup.
Q. Do you find yourself attracted or not attracted to certain race or races?
A. No. Women are Women, apples are apples, some are green, some are red.
Q. Can you describe why you might have these prefrences/dislikes?
A.Perhaps if I grew up in a more homogeneous environment I would have such preferences.
Q. Do you think your mind has changed about any of this from the past or is subject to change in the future?
A.Perhaps. Though I think not.

Musical inspiration for today's post from El Noche
Zectoll
The organs of the wolf were warm and pleasant. Zectoll was pleased with the meal, his hunger finally sated after a day of involuntary fasting. As he finished his meal he noticed, much to his surprise, words floating in front of his eyes. -NEW SKILL LEARNED:SAVAGE STRIKE- He rubbed his eyes, making certain that he was seeing correctly. The other two goblins did not seem to notice, Zectoll kept his surprising discovery to himself as he read the description of his new found skill. He recalled the moment in which he struck the wolf and the primal feelings he had felt at that time. Can cause fear in surrounding enemies at higher levels? Interesting Zectoll thought to himself. He pondered the ramifications of his discovery. A new hunger arouse within him, a hunger to develop his new skill as well as himself. He did not like the fact that he was a small goblin. He wanted to be bigger, much bigger. The only way he would get bigger was to eat more creatures, or so he thought. To do this he would need to become a better hunter, thus he would need to develop his skills. He self reflection was broken by his comrades, staking claim to the two wolf pelts.
Zectoll, good job in staying in position behind me. I had my worries since it was your first hunt, but those have been cast aside now. Congratulations, you live.
I live to feast this day because of you guys, you have my thanks. Zectoll said as he stood to his feet
You two will look fearsome indeed, donning those pelts. I will not let any of this meat go to waste Kishi. I have no idea what one would do with the bones, so once I have picked them clean of their meat I will give them to you
Returning to the cave, alive and with a full belly Zectoll had hope for the future. As Kishi and Grandpa deliberated on burial procedures, Zectoll decided to chime in. The night that Xaal and Isurta fell, I had a strange dream. I was being chased by monsters of scale and fur. I was unable to run, until suddenly I was bathed in blood and was given new strength. When I awoke that morning I was healed, and able to move freely Zectoll paused for a second, looking down at the remains of Xaal and Isurta. Maybe it is just a coincidence, just a random dream. But I feel that somehow in death their strength flowed into me, and lifted whatever curse it was that afflicted me. Zectoll looked up at Grandpa Goblin and Kishi, his face stern and solemn.I will do whatever I can to help in the burial ceremony. Hunting can wait, I would rather see this task to its end here and now
I'll include that detail in my next post then.
Question. Whenever our characters gain new skills, items, rank up etc, Does it pop up on the screen and in the minds of our characters like in the manga?
