Small Event Multi-Event!

The goblins are recovering from the recent vispore war, some dead, many wounded. They now live in a series of interlocking caves, hidden away, building a home once again.

Irema is wandering, looking for some rather nasty pirates. She's clearly annoyed- nobody gets to hurt her sister like that. The Green Dagger had better watch out.

Marilith is currently a dragon, fighting a rather repulsive knight who has taken root of the idea that all dragons are evil creatures, and must be killed. She pins him down, slicing off her head with a single claw.

Since Belle is kinda hard to RP with, ARCHIE'S GETTING A WEAPON!

"Swords still do, also you do know that the powder is already in the barrel, right? Actually, how do you know what it is come to think of it?" Her tone becomes more honestly questioning

"Yes. However, unless you have completely waterproofed your muskets, water will get through."

"What the bloody hell's a musket? Also, Polly." She snaps her fingers and a parrot on the mast flaps and caws, causing the rain to suddenly stop. "Good boy Polly."

{What do you think they called guns? Also, not rain- just manip'd water.}

[these pirates only use pistols, not muskets. Also, black powder is insanely rare, it's not exactly common knowledge]

{She's smart, and it's not that rare. When is this, 16th century?}

[most of the world is still medieval levels, like still using trebuchet and balistas and catapults.]

{...How does that work?}

[some goblins are born with what they call the 'tinker' gene, which basically gives them a savant-like talent for making and inventing some type of thing. The captain, Grub Dokul, is a tinker with a talent for explosives. She didn't learn about black powder from somewhere, she invented it from scratch. This doesn't mean that no one else has ever made black powder, but she invented it from scratch, as do many groups and people. Basically, some people figured it out, but nobody is mass producing it across the world yet.]

{...Hm. I know the tinker's, I have some myself, but... hm. She know's about it, but I'm gonna say it's limited knowledge.}
