Everthing
is neatly rearranged, and Regran's false knots that weaken the
ropes look unsuspicious. The adventurers are about to make
there exit, when ..... the Fog spell runs out!
Wacko: "What's the meaning of
this!?" Pirates: "Stowaways! Stowaways! Put them to
work scrubbing the deck!"
For a moment, the hardship of
a future of slave labour takes the heroes by the throat. But
they have grown sly an cunning with finding excuses
...
Arturchix: "Captain, please! You caught us
even before you set sail! We have done no harm. We made a
mistake, that's all." Nicolai: "We are heroes! Is
there not something more worthwhile we can do for you so you
let us go?" Wacko: "Bah! What could you do? Ever
since that nasty White Goblin got Lord Markham to chase us,
the privateering business has lost all its excitement. I will
never be as rich as Stanley!" Pirates: "Loot!
Treasure!" Wacko: "You're lucky that we have a full
crew, now we may just keel-haul you." Vilx:
"Captain, what if we were to, er, eliminate that White Goblin?
We've heard too much about all his mischief
already." Wacko: "Now that would be a feat. Yes, I
think that would be worth sparing you from your punishment.
But the White Goblin can't be killed." DaveO: "How
then, Sir Wacko, should be proceed?" Wacko: "I
happen to know his secret, Zaporavo himself told it to me when
we took over his ship. I only was Conan's lieutenant back
then, mind you. The White Goblin cannot be killed, but he can
be undone."
Again, the name of that Barbarian! Is he
involved in all of their adventures? Then the Chedians
remember Viesis' words, and play along. What else can they
do?
Regran: "Tell us how, Captain, and we will
do this for you." Wacko: "It'll take some scheming,
but you sound like you've done some of that already. So here
goes. You must round up all his kindred, the coloured Goblins
I mean, and herd them to the Rainbow Vale. There they will
feast on all the seven colours that the rainbow provides. That
would suck the colours right from this world if there were no
White Goblin. He of course is a construct of all the colours
and will fade into nothingness to compensate his brothers'
intake. They will all disappear
together." Arturchix: "Where can we find the Rainbow
Vale?" Wacko: "That, unfortunately, I know
not." DaveO: "Alright, we will do what we
can." Wacko: "I will be here for a while before we
return to Tidewater. But you'd better not come back if you
can't complete the task."
