((With Venom's departure from the site I think we should finish this. Simeon, if you want to wrap this up in a post feel free or we can just end it now.))
((Perfect timing! It's just about over anyway. Post your responses and I'll wrap it up with loot, Acclaim and an ending.))
The shaman looked around at the other goblins. He was dumbfounded and most of the others looked either confused, worried, or--hopeful. Many looked to him expectantly--hoping that this would be the miracle they had been seeking. Could all of our food and human troubles really be solved so easily!? It probably would take a bit of work to get everything situated and organized, but he couldn't miss this chance! This was an opportunity of a hundred lifetimes!
He grabbed the human's hand and shook it firmly. "We have a deal. The forest is for everyone!"
Almost all of the other goblins broke out into celebration. Some cheered, other hugged each other, crying in relief. Some goblins even began to jump and dance as one older male began to beat a drum and sing. The singing was foreign to the humans' ears but not entirely unpleasant--well, perhaps just a little... However guttural and off key it may seem it was still a song of triumph and somehow it fit the mood.

Jonah was glad that the whole situation had been cleared up but the tribesman couldn't help thinking that the goblins would break their word sooner or later. Either way, there was nothing he could do about it at the moment.
Jonah didn't feel like sticking around for the "celebrations" so he made his way to the exit.
The shaman started quieting down the celebrating goblins and called out to Jonah as he was leaving, "Hold there! It is good for you three to leave and go to your village. But I have gift for each of you to show my bond. Each of you gets great rich gifts but if your village breaks bond and hunt us then we hunt you three. This is our greatest bond beside family blood feud. Will you three accept? If not all three, only one is needed."
The goblin was very serious and sincere. Some other goblins dragged a good-sized chest out from a small hole in the wall.
Venom accepted the offer as well. It was a reasonable solution to the issue and he believed the goblins would not go back on their word with something so serious.
The goblins open up the chest and bring out a couple armfuls of other valuable or treasures. Some of the items only have sentimental value, but others appear to be quite a bit more...
((OKAY. I'm completely blanking on prizes right now. Bead necklaces, charms, gold or magic trinkets, clothes ect. Post a picture and if I think the goblins might have it I'll describe it for you. Also, if you feel confident and brave, you could try to get away with multiple items. However, there is a chance they won't be as powerful as a single item. Of course, there's also the chance they will be just as powerful! So what catches your eye?))
Rue's eyes widened as she took in the treasures before her. She approached the chest to get a better look at its contents. She sifted through the objects until a small object caught her eye.
It was a simple silver ring, decorated with the design representing eternal life - a design she recognized well. This design had also decorated many objects found in her mother's old school, where she had taught the magic of healing back home. Hoping that this could mean something, something to assist her with her incomplete magical training, she picked it up and looked at the Shaman quizzically.
"Does this do anything?"
Other than the ring, all that attracted her attention was the vast amounts of gold that lay within the chest.
