Kragg sat on his throne, his wide frame making the seat seem small. The other orcs in it with him stayed quiet, watching closely. Everyone in the room knew what was happening here would not stay hidden for long. Sooner or later, word would spread. And with humans now involved, it would spread faster than ever. What they had to do was be prepared for the worst-case scenario but how far were they willing to go?
Kragg's mind had carefully explored multiple outcomes. He knew the humans would come through again, and when they did, he wanted to control what they saw and what they believed. He planned to welcome them with the same "kindness" as before, but twist the story so the humans looked down on the goblins. Whatever the goblins whispered didn't matter. To Kragg, humans were still weak and easy to fool. He had prepared food, drink, and even women to impress them, because he believed the human heart could be bought with charm as easily as with strength.
