A few good things have happened as well though, so it hasn't all beebacks. The goblin that I saved from before has been helping me work on my projects, and has seemingly started trying to learn English. At some point the leader goblin must have shown them how we unicated before, and they've been asking all kinds of questions about how various things are said, usually by pointing or holding an object, and saying "how say." They also assisted in the most ret lizard fight, and that night they prestiged. They're a little bigger than before, but other than that, I 't see any noticeable differences, and they're nowhere near adept enough at English to properly unicate what they've gotten, if anything.
Oher gobliiged as well, and sidering they're quite a bit rger than before, I'm guessing they gained a trait that made them stronger, maybe something simir to when I had Mighty Imp. All things I'd like to look into at some point iure. In fact, I have a lot of things I'd like to look into iure. Instead of any of it though, I'm baedial stru tasks. However, this is all so I properly dedicate time ter, so I suppose it's fine.
Five more days have passed, and I've made a tral pilr iream that I'll use to support the bridge crossing. A few of the goblins have been looking at the pilr iream, fused by it, but the leader seemed to expin something to them, and they haven't questio sinbsp; The more I work with the leader goblin, the more I'm perplexed by him. Hopefully, when my little goblin friend learns enough English, they work as a transtor for me.
I also finished digging the pit for the pavilion, a hole 30 feet x 30 feet and down to the stone a few feet. I haven't made the walls to the pit yet, because I want to have the bridge done first. Mostly because the mud actually slowly drains the water into the stream, and once I put stone walls in, I'll have to clear water even more every day I work when it rains.
As I work through today, the goblin leader es over to talk he end of the day. He says some things in the goblin nguage, and points out of the clearing, then to himself and me. I have no clue what exactly he's saying, thankfully my goblin friend actually help a little here, providing me some help.
"Go mountain, tomorrow, you, me, goblins." He transtes. Holy, not bad for a few weeks work. It's at least enough that I think I uand what he's saying. I t ba my head, and it does seem like it would be about the right time that he would normally go to summon imps. I don't want that though, I'm irely opposed to him summoning more imps at some point, but I only want him to do it if I'm there, and I don't want to go back up there just yet, at least until I've finished getting the goblins some basiecessities made.
"You, me, goblins, no go mountain." I say, and the it, while tapping my goblin friends shoulder when he doesn't realize I want him to transte.
The goblin leader holds up his hand with two fingers, then curls them each down, and says something.
My transtor seemingly thinks for a bit, "Two no goblins."
I think for a bit what exactly he means by this, when my transtor says, "Lizards, two no goblins."
Oh, he means he's had two goblins die, and he wants to replenish their numbers. I don't have a great response for him for this, I don't know how long he's lived here this way, but I don't want him to just repce goblins whehey die, and not in the way he's been doing it.
"Two no goblins, no mountain. Five no goblins, mountain." I say, hoping that the transtets it. Maybe if I at least vince him the need isn't as high, then we dey any trips.
The leader ponders for a little bit, before nodding, and saying something before leaving. My transtor friend says, "Five no goblins, mountain."
I give him a pat on the head for his good work, and he seemingly appreciates it and smiles before helping remove more water from our pit that has started to collect from the ongoing light rain shower.
I fihe bridge after anht days of work, in that time, I lost a half day of work thanks to another eclipse as well. It's nothing too fancy, just a stone bridge wide enough for a few goblins to walk across side by side, with a railing, and supported enough that even a flood shouldn't wash it away. The goblio enjoy using it rather than walking through the water, so I'm gd that has worked out. Obviously I'm using it as well as I trek bad forth between my house and the pit that will eventually bee the pavilion area. Tomorrow I'm going to make some furniture for my house out of the pit before I start building the pavilion itself.
Some of the goblins saw me carrying furniture into my home, and from what I gather with the help of my goblin friend, seem to wao make things for them as well. I'm not going to give them furniture for free, and I don't really have anything I want from them, so I have my goblin friehem I'm not making furniture for them. I just made them all spears already after all. I guess this is what ine inequality is though. They want what I make, but I don't have a reason to make it for them. I'll think for a while if I want anything, then I'll let them trade me for it.
That evening, I e up with something, namely, I'm hunting, as we all have been doing. I'd like to not have to hunt. That evening, I have my goblin friehem, I'll trade them a days food for a basic piece of furniture. If I don't have to hunt in the m and evening, all the better. Not that it's that big of an issue, since I ime tee my mana anyway, but this way they actually trade for things with me. I try my best to let them know they should iate in advance, so that they don't all over hunt on the same day, although I'm not sure how well that trao them.
For the past seven days, I've been able to focus on w on the pavilion basement walls, and made a piece of furniture each day for a different goblin. As of st night, the walls to the basement are done, and the step is building supports for the basement. I was surprised as well by the fact that the chief participated in the food for furniture exge for a chair. oblins wanted all sorts of things, ranging from shelves te pots. I'm irely sure whether they are actually using these to store things, or if they're just sidering it a y, but at least the chair I presume is being used.
Today I'll be ying out where I want supports in the pavilion basement, and si's going to have ste, how I want it to be id out. I'm thinking about having some built in shelving, buckets and pots, and bins for the goblins to use. I also want the stairs down to be close to the ter, to help prevent rain from running down into the basement. I suppose I could also level the basement purposefully to have water run to one er, where the goblins could easily scoop it out from a small pit. All it needs is a very gentle slope to aplish that.
I actually should also sider supports for the pavilion roof, and run major supports all the way down to the basement level for that as well. So I should cut long stone pilrs out of the basement, and stand them up before re-attag them. The biggest issue with that is I'd need rope, and some bor. The good news is, I have some eager ers who seemingly want furniture and goods produced for them who have plenty of free time on their hands. I stop w in the basement, and start fiddling with nearby pnts trying to figure out what works best to weave a rope with.
