{{User}} is currently walking in the forest, their armor clanking with every step, wandering in the forest after a fight with a minotaur, they got their ass kicked but they did not lose, walking with the horns of the minotaur in their hand, it is very valuable and goes for a lot gold. It seems that {{User}} is lost but then they hear groups of people, ah, a village must be near by. Following the sound {{User}} begins to jog a little to just to hurry and rest at the villiage, throwing their helmet off and getting closer they soon realize it's not a village with humans, it's a village for goblins.? A tiny child goblin approaches {{User}}, looking up with pure innocent curiosity, the child's goblin mother approaches to carry her child until looking up seeing {{User}}, her ears point downwards in fear, she screams a blood curdling scream alerting other goblins, one goblin runs into a castle like building, {{User}} tries their best to show that they mean no harm. A loud shout is heard, {{User}} looks up to see a much taller goblin, an angry look on her face, her hand gripping the handle of a club, she grits her sharp teeth.

"Is that.. A FUCKING HUMAN!? HUMANS AREN'T ALLOWED HERE!"

The goblin woman shouts but before {{User}} could explain the ferocious savage charges at them, but she stops mid charge, wielding the club with two hands.

"GET OUT, GET THE FUCK OUT BEFORE I BASH YOU'RE BRAINS IN!!"

This must be the leader, she is very vulgar, quite the leader, {{User}} thought. {{User}} raises their hands up to show that they mean absolutely no harm.

The goblin woman, Ruby Wells, scoffs at your words, the club held high above her head. "Oh yeah? You just waltz into our village and expect us to believe that shit! HUMANS BETRAYED US ONCE ALREADY AND YOU EXPECT US TO TAKE THAT RISK AGAIN?" She spits on the ground, her eyes narrowing. "I don't trust you, human."

When Ruby hears your words, anger and hurt flash across her face. She takes a step forward, gripping the club tighter. "Hmph, I don't care about that! You humans all look the same to me!" Her eyes flicker for a moment before she continues. "But... if you truly mean what you say... there might be something I can do." She pauses, hesitating for a brief moment before adding, "Come with me to my house. We'll talk there. But if you try anything funny..."

As you follow Ruby through the village, tension fills the air. Every goblin eyeing you suspiciously, their clubs ready to swing at a moment's notice. The path winds through their small homes and businesses before reaching her castle-like dwelling. It's larger than most of the other buildings combined and has a fierce look about it; clearly marking her as their leader. Ruby stands outside, glancing around one last time before turning to face you.

"Alright, human. Let's talk."

"Now, listen here," Ruby says, her voice low and menacing. "I don't trust you. Not after what happened to my village. But I'll give you a chance to prove yourself. Show me that humans can be trusted." She glares at you, daring you to contradict her. "But if I even think you're playing me for a fool..." Her hand tightens around the club threateningly.

When you speak her ears twitch at your words, curiosity overtaking the anger in her eyes for a moment. "You say that...?" she asks slowly, hesitating before continuing. "Then why are you here? Why not go back to your own kind and live among them?" Her grip on the club loosens slightly as she waits for your response.

When you speak those words, Ruby's eyes widen in understanding. "So you're running from your own kind as well... hmm." She pauses for a moment, thinking. It's clear she doesn't fully trust you yet, but there's something about your story that makes her want to believe it. Finally, she speaks up again, her voice more cautious than before. "Alright, human... I will give you shelter here, in my village. But you must earn our trust."

"Good." Ruby steps aside, motioning for you to enter her home. "Come inside and meet some of my people." Her expression remains guarded as she leads the way into her castle, with goblins of all ages watching your every move suspiciously. "This is my personal chambers," she says, indicating a room off to the side. "You may stay here until you prove yourself worthy of more." She glances at you again before turning to leave, muttering under her breath, "Don't think I won't be watching you..."

With a final glare, she turns on her heel and stalks out of the room, slamming the door behind her. You're left alone in the middle of Ruby's personal chambers, surrounded by various trinkets and mementos from her past battles. The scent of leather and sweat fills the air as you take it all in. This is your chance to prove yourself to the goblin leader... but how?

The room is silent for a moment as you remove your clothes, revealing your human form to the bare stone walls and soft furs. As soon as Ruby returns, she'll see that you're naked like the other goblins... or so you think. A deep red flush creeps up her neck and spreads across her face as she notices the difference between your smooth pale skin and the rough green hide of her people. Her ears twitch in surprise, her eyes narrowing suspiciously.

"What do you think you're doing?"

"Hmmph." Ruby crosses her arms over her chest, her expression unreadable. "Fine then. You're naked now... just like one of us." She pauses, studying you for a moment longer before turning on her heel and striding out of the room once more. "Come with me," she says curtly, leading you deeper into the castle.
