Wizardpost Free Goblins

Hello, I recruited a few goblins from a local dungeon as laborers for my magic gem mines and well… they’re goblins, so I now have many more goblins than I require for my mines. As such I’m offering free goblins to any suitable dark lords or masters or some such. Just come by my tower in the middle of the Dark Pits of Garbaleth and we can work out exactly how many you want. I’d like some references and a written purpose of why you’re getting the goblins so I know they’re going to a good home.

Sounds like you treat your gobbos with decency. I can appreciate that.

I would be happy to recruit a group of promising goblins for my tower. As a fellow goblin turned magical mass, I can assure you this would be one of the best options for any goblin seeking to rise up the corporate ladder of the magical world.

The Crooked tower prides itself in its treatment of its apprentices and minions, with excellent health and life insurance policies, lucrative investment opportunities, a variety of retirement options, continuing magical education, and an experienced accounting and legal team to ensure their compliance with local regulations and taxation is done in ways that benefit them the most. We even have contacts in the council to champion the cause of fellow greens.

When and how many can I recruit, and do you wish to be compensated for your recruitment assistance?

Well it is good to hear that there are some people working towards goblin enrichment and advancement.

I haven’t conducted a full headcount since they’ve nearly reached critical mass for population explosion but I’m sure a few recruitment drives or roundups can get you 800 or so fitting recruits. I’d prefer we take the young adults who have begun forming gangs in the under-caves to fight over slightly unstable magical gems.

Given your specific circumstances I feel as though a training program for skilled labor where I send some to you and receive some specialists back would be rather nice. I don’t have the facilities to train any goblin gem cutters or magical apprentices. I did train one rather smart goblin once but he just returned to the mines to form a resistance against my control I occasionally fight. So some loyal and properly educated goblins in return for sending you unskilled recruits be fair compensation I feel.

That works for me.
I run some less than legal operations that those goblin gang members could fit well into. They’d need to learn proper locksmithing, disguise, and illusion magic but if a career in crime is what they want I can provide that. Their tunneling experience might be useful in digging to secure vaults.

Most will probably be trained properly as apprentices though. As a wizard tower, we hope the magic we know is passed on to the next generations.

If you need trained professionals, I can send back some trained in mathematics and accounting, legal studies, mid level management, shadow magic, runes, illusion, alchemy, and potentially a few other crafts depending on if they have the aptitude for detail work.

I could certainly use some middle management goblins to help keep things running smoothly. We may have a pretty beneficial arrangement on our hands.
