Lurk sneered as his fists clenched, his eyes were glowing red, his hair was changing color in all the colors of flames. Everyone looked at him slightly worried. Sala put down her new kid and got up over to Lurk who had begun to stomp out.
"Lurk wait! What is wrong?" Sala inquired grabbing Lurks hand, he turned his face and looked at her.
"Aurk just impregnated Lula!!" Lurk almost roared, Resti and Sylphi tilted their heads looking at Lurk, Sala blinked as Lurk stomped out speeding up.
Lurk burst through the outer camping area - all the goblin and the women looking at Lurk as he stormed past, quickly followed by Sala trying to keep up.
"Aurk!! Where are you!" Lurk roared, and he saw Gorm standing guard who pointed out to the side of the camp around behind some of the jagged rocks. Lurk stared at Gorm and hurried over there - his glowing eyes made Gorm cower as Lurk ran past him. Sala quickly following up behind as she had almost caught up with Lurk when he yelled out.
Lurk leaped around the jagged rocks, an angry sneer on his face as he stared at Lula and Aurk standing up. Lula was helping Aurk putting on his leather armor, the both of them slightly flustered, Aurk himself even more so as he saw Lurk looking right at him.
"Chief I..." Aurk tried to say something but quickly backed up as Lurk stomped forward, Lula stepping in front of Aurk.
"What did you do Aurk!"
"Aurk did nothing Chief!" Lula said catching Lurks attention his eyes snapping to hers, causing her to pause slightly, but she stood firm again.
"If he hurt you, I will utterly destr..."
*BONK*
"Finally... Sala Caught up... Haah... What is Lurk thinking?" Sala said having done a *SS* Class bonk on Lurks head, both his hands rubbing his head as the red glow in his eyes fade out along with his hairs fiery colors vanished.
"What was that for! Aurk just impregnated Lula! She...!" Lula sneered angrily.
"So?" Sala tilted her head looking at Lurk.
"Really???" Lula beamed, Aurk peeking out from behind her at Lurk that had been disarmed by Sala, he was still slightly worried about how Lurk might react so he was still on guard.
"What?" Lurk heard Lula's enthusiastic voice and turned to look at her. He slowly began to realize something and internally sighed as his mind began to calm down.
("... Haah... I thought that Aurk had forced himself on her... Because he was a ... Goblin...") Lurk looked down at the ground.
"... Right... Sorry I was just surprised... " Lurk gritted his teeth feeling slightly ashamed from leaping to conclusions. When he thought about it who here in the camp could even -force- themselves on Lula. She was just as strong as him almost.
"How did you even know?" Lula asked curiously.
"... Right... " Lurk quickly looked at the Menu that had faded out of his vision due to him being agitated to not block his vision or interfere with his abilities.

"I said I had some control over out spawn Sala, Well it appears i also have that over others in our... clan? Family?" Lurk said as he looked at the message. The [Special Option!!] being available was new.
[Progenitor Level up!]
New options are ready for greater control over the Progenitors bloodline.
[Create New Species] Unlocked
[Elemental Mixing] Unlocked
Lurk asked Lula and Aurk to follow him back to the camp, he took Sala's hand as they walked back into the camp and sat down near Resti and Sylphie that looked at Aurk and Lula, after Lurk came in looking still slightly out of sorts, Sala going over to her newborn who had been wrapped up in some cloth and picked it up grinning at it. Lula came over and made faces at the newcomer.
"Thank you for giving Lula Siblings!" Lula said enthusiastically at Resti and Sylvie grinning widely at them. They both smiled and then Lula noticed Sylvie's twins. Two tiny goblins slightly smaller than normal goblin spawns. But they had Black hair and a pair of cat ears and one of them yawned slightly making an utterly cute noise and Lula jumped over with hearts in her eyes staring at the cute twins absolutely fawning over them.
Lurk had to agree, their cuteness level was way over 9000. He held his head as he realized they too would grow up in 6-7 days and end up impregnating their way through the tribe. Lula had not even gone to College yet!! Lurk shook his head trying to stop his silly thoughts. He was shocked as he barely took his eyes of Lula and bam. A new member of the family on the way.
("This is gonna spiral out of control...") Lurk opened up the [Special Options - Create species] to examine it.
______________
[Special Options - Create species]
This option allows the progenitor to create a standardized template for all future offspring of this bloodline - All future spawns will be of the new species type -despite if parents have evolved yet.
New species will replace "Goblin" and become a new species in its own right! Congratulations on finding a new combination never seen before!
Special options when upgrading a template to be retroactive on the entire species. (FTB cost varies)
______________
("Ah that is nice... Instead of using FTB on individuals if something becomes available I can add to the species it can be added to all in the species?... So this new species will require the fire elemental I have from Resti to go offline for a while?") Lurk looked over the message informing him how the new species [Fire Lizardkin] required the Elemental to be used to upgrade the species. Clearly thanks to the new upgrade [Element mixing] he could add an element type to his bloodline now.
"Chief... What did you want to say?" Aurk asked standing just outside of their area." Aurk was looking at Lurk as he was staring into space.
"Right... Sit Aurk... This will take a while... I think you need to know about -our- bloodline now..."
Lurk then began to inform everyone how he had insight and control into the family members of his bloodline and the ones that -joined- the bloodline. Whenever someone joined or newborns were added he would gain power that he could use to augment the bloodline even further. He did not go into full details but explained it as best he could.
"There are some things we need to handle right now before we lose the option too" Lurk looked at the naming option of Lula and Aurk's new spawn - there was a timer slowly ticking away and when that was over he lost any ability to manipulate anyone involved in creating that spawnling with FTB points. Lurk explained how he could upgrade Lula, Aurk and their yet unnamed child.
"This would mean that I would spend this power which I have so much off to upgrade. How would you like to do it?" Lurk decided to no longer keep this part to himself. He looked over the options for the current situation.

Lurk sighed - it was getting complicated to find the best option. He could still utilize the option to augment the parents with any FTB so the spawn was guaranteed them. After talking to everyone, both Aurk and Lula wanted the best for their Spawn - but ultimately left it in the hands of Lurk to decide all the options. When they heard about all the options Lurk had to work with and how he did not have quite enough points to add enough abilities or skills and even how he was sitting with the [Ogre Magi Curse] high-cost problem, it was one of the more worrisome of the issues since that eventually Sala/Lula and their future kids could eventually evolve into brutish ogres losing their intellect.
Lurk began to think about it as he did he did not see Lula and Sala move together to start whispering together. Lurk had a lot of points now from the "bonus" that was awarded because of the 2nd generation. But it was still shy of the points needed to unlock the Ogre magi curse AND give Aurk and Lula's new child guaranteed abilities that he could pick for it. Lula meanwhile headed outside of the camp while Lurk pondered - Sala looking awfully psyched and happy.
("Right... I need to give them the [Fire Magic]... That's 1 point each... But I could just give the spawn [Fire magic]... Is it worth it to give Aurk [Pure Ogre Power] ? to ensure the 100 %? Yeah, he would also get stronger... and the elite trait would propagate down the line much stronger... But it is a lot of points...")
While Lurk pondered, Sala leaned over to Resti and whispered with her - she grew flustered and quiet, Sala was curious over it but shrugged and shuffled over to Sylphie and whispered to her again. She also was flustered and Sala once more got confused and annoyed even!.
"Why do you guys not want more of Lurks spawnlings??" Sala said out loud now enough for Lurk to hear.
"Uh, that is not what I sai..." Resti said, Sylvie was blushing and tried to play with her twins to distract herself.
"Wait, what?" Lurk stopped pondering, what was going on here.
"Weeeeeell, Sala thinks you need more of that power yes? Well! Lula and Sala had a thought!" Sala pointed towards the entry point of the camp area - Lula coming inside dragging the three Female goblins that were part of the six goblins born from the women they rescued. All of them looking flustered and slightly on edge if not right out -eager-
Lurk opened his eyes wide, he looked at the female goblins and the proud nodding Lula giving him a thumbs up. He quickly looked to Aurk for help but even Aurk was looking on as if this was a given. Lurk panicked slightly and turned to look at Resti and Sylphie and Sala. But instantly froze.
"... Why is everyone alright with this!!" Lurk exclaimed
---
---
---
After having calmed down Sala and Lula that had decided that Lurk was about to impregnate all the females again +the three female goblins and now Emily. He sat them all down trying to explain how this would only aggravate the situation. But Sala and Lula did not understand/care.
"I think I get it..." Resti said she had along with Sylphi put the kids to sleep.
"The more you add the more points you might get - but you worry about the points not being enough for the new kids... And also..."
"Overpopulation," Lurk said with a stern tone.
"If there are suddenly too many goblins here, we will begin to run out of resources quicker. Also, there is the [Evil] Trait to consider... The more goblins there is, the less control and overwatch I will have over everyone before I can solve or limit its spreading somehow... It could spiral out of control really quickly... Suddenly we would have a camp of hungry/angry goblins that would perhaps even leave or lose control to their [Evil] trait." Aurk nodded as he could remember when the goblin tribe would run out of food - how goblins would resort to simply eating each other or go to war against other goblins if they had no easy route to easy prey.
"Hmpf... The females here would be more than happy to just carry your spawn!" Sala huffed, taking some pride in almost having the chief claim all the current females to make the tribe stronger and to -solve- the power points problem Lurk seemed to be having.
Lurk peeked at the three females sitting slight away from the camp - when they heard Sala talked about them they suddenly peaked their ears and stared with expectations. Just how much do these goblins want his spawn! Lurk shook his head.
"I do not just want to create an endless swarm of goblins... It would go really bad really fast... The humans would come through and murder us all if we stand out too much..." Lurk tried to explain - as he looked at the countdown in the menu ticking away - the time before he had to pick the abilities before he would lose the option to augment Lula Aurk and their kid.
"Also I know that not -everyone- wants to keep having my spawn" Lurk looked at Resti.
"Not everyone is like you, Sala." Lurk already knew that Resti was not planning to go all out like Sala had been. Which he had been pondering over for a while how to handle, since well. He was [Fertile]. And every single time he had sex so far - they all got pregnant.
Lurk quickly opened up the Advanced menu as he got an idea he had been working on and off in the back of his head. He did not want to constantly impregnate Resti and Sylvie.
He expanded the reproduction options rune aspects of himself but it was impossibly complex. Checking up on Sala it was much more straightforward. He looked over the top runes to look for anything he could identify or manipulate to perhaps "pause" someones ability to become pregnant. He did have a good idea but it was impossible to -change- the hardcoded runes in the avatar menu.
But then the progenitor menu popped up.
_____________
[Rune Insight gained]
[Reproduction On/Off] = 1 FTB to unlock on a species at will that is part of your bloodline. (1 gender)
_____________
("Ah... Well, that solves the overpopulation issue... I can stop anyone bloodline from getting pregnant, wait I need to unlock it per gender?... Urgh great double point cost...")
He snapped out of the Avatar menu no time having passed meanwhile.
"Lurk, I think it is ok for you to collect the points..." He heard Resti say, he quirked an eyebrow at hearing it.
"You need to change the goblins for your plans and to make them friendlier with humans... I do not mind sharing you with more... Well... A little..." Resti looked like she had -some- trouble with it.
"Bah, this would just be for the spawns for the other goblins here right?!" Sala said knowing that she had a much more personal connection like Resti and Sylvie had with Lurk but she knew the Female goblins just wanted the -honor- from it. She turned to look at the 3 females that nodded eagerly.
"Sala, Resti and Sylphie are Lurks special females!" Sala beamed looking proud, Resti blushing and Sylvie smiling with blush too.
"We still have resources enough to handle more goblins, I will leave it to you Chief" Aurk nodded and got up, Lula jumped up and leaped onto the back of Aurk giving a cheer. Aurk almost stumbling from the sudden assault from Lula.
"Have fun!" Lula grinned hanging off Aurk's back.
Lurk looked at Sala, Resti, and Sylvie - they all agreed. He looked at the three female goblins that seemed to be slowly realizing that everyone was reaching a positive conclusion for them. The goblins born from the females were all Sun goblins just like the others. They were not deformed so it was not that, which was holding Lurk back. They all looked rather normal but with the added goblin traits that he himself had. The females look at him hungrily having a hard time from restraining themselves.
("... I could finally unlock that Ogre magi curse at least...")
Lurk managed to think, apparently showing some form of acceptance on his face, before he got swarmed by females. Resti and Sylvie decided to retreat out of the camp area. Sala carrying the baskets with the newborns blushing madly, Sylphie was holding her cheeks feeling they were almost burning and had a flustered look in her eyes as they both reacted to seeing the initial onslaught that Lurk was put under by Sala and the three other Goblins.
-1 FTB [Unlocked On/off Reproduction - Goblin Females] was the last sane thought Lurk managed to get off before [Ravenous] took the helm since he needed to do at least "1" test... He hoped he remembered...
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Lurk sneered as his fists clenched, his eyes were glowing red, his hair was changing color in all the colors of flames. Everyone looked at him slightly worried. Sala put down her new kid and got up over to Lurk who had begun to stomp out.

-1 FTB [Unlocked On/off Reproduction - Goblin Females] was the last sane thought Lurk managed to get off before [Ravenous] took the helm since he needed to do at least "1" test... He hoped he remembered...
Lurk sneered as his fists clenched, his eyes were glowing red, his hair was changing color in all the colors of flames. Everyone looked at him slightly worried. Sala put down her new kid and got up over to Lurk who had begun to stomp out."Lurk wait! What is wrong?" Sala inquired grabbing Lurks hand, he turned his face and looked at her."Aurk just impregnated Lula!!" Lurk almost roared, Resti and Sylphi tilted their heads looking at Lurk, Sala blinked as Lurk stomped out speeding up.Lurk burst through the outer camping area - all the goblin and the women looking at Lurk as he stormed past, quickly followed by Sala trying to keep up."Aurk!! Where are you!" Lurk roared, and he saw Gorm standing guard who pointed out to the side of the camp around behind some of the jagged rocks. Lurk stared at Gorm and hurried over there - his glowing eyes made Gorm cower as Lurk ran past him. Sala quickly following up behind as she had almost caught up with Lurk when he yelled out.Lurk leaped around the jagged rocks, an angry sneer on his face as he stared at Lula and Aurk standing up. Lula was helping Aurk putting on his leather armor, the both of them slightly flustered, Aurk himself even more so as he saw Lurk looking right at him."Chief I..." Aurk tried to say something but quickly backed up as Lurk stomped forward, Lula stepping in front of Aurk."What did you do Aurk!""Aurk did nothing Chief!" Lula said catching Lurks attention his eyes snapping to hers, causing her to pause slightly, but she stood firm again."If he hurt you, I will utterly destr..."*BONK*"Finally... Sala Caught up... Haah... What is Lurk thinking?" Sala said having done a *SS* Class bonk on Lurks head, both his hands rubbing his head as the red glow in his eyes fade out along with his hairs fiery colors vanished."What was that for! Aurk just impregnated Lula! She...!" Lula sneered angrily."So?" Sala tilted her head looking at Lurk."Really???" Lula beamed, Aurk peeking out from behind her at Lurk that had been disarmed by Sala, he was still slightly worried about how Lurk might react so he was still on guard."What?" Lurk heard Lula's enthusiastic voice and turned to look at her. He slowly began to realize something and internally sighed as his mind began to calm down."... Haah... I thought that Aurk had forced himself on her... Because he was a ... Goblin..." Lurk looked down at the ground."... Right... Sorry I was just surprised... " Lurk gritted his teeth feeling slightly ashamed from leaping to conclusions. When he thought about it who here in the camp could even -force- themselves on Lula. She was just as strong as him almost."How did you even know?" Lula asked curiously."... Right... " Lurk quickly looked at the Menu that had faded out of his vision due to him being agitated to not block his vision or interfere with his abilities.________________________Progenitor Level up!Congratulations on first Second Generation! you have earned a bonus 6 FBPLula Goblin/Ogre has gotten pregnant!

The Special Option!! being available was new.Progenitor Level up!New options are ready for greater control over the Progenitors bloodline.Create New Species UnlockedElemental Mixing UnlockedLurk asked Lula and Aurk to follow him back to the camp, he took Sala's hand as they walked back into the camp and sat down near Resti and Sylphie that looked at Aurk and Lula, after Lurk came in looking still slightly out of sorts, Sala going over to her newborn who had been wrapped up in some cloth and picked it up grinning at it. Lula came over and made faces at the newcomer."Thank you for giving Lula Siblings!" Lula said enthusiastically at Resti and Sylvie grinning widely at them. They both smiled and then Lula noticed Sylvie's twins. Two tiny goblins slightly smaller than normal goblin spawns. But they had Black hair and a pair of cat ears and one of them yawned slightly making an utterly cute noise and Lula jumped over with hearts in her eyes staring at the cute twins absolutely fawning over them.Lurk had to agree, their cuteness level was way over 9000. He held his head as he realized they too would grow up in 6-7 days and end up impregnating their way through the tribe. Lula had not even gone to College yet!! Lurk shook his head trying to stop his silly thoughts. He was shocked as he barely took his eyes of Lula and bam. A new member of the family on the way."This is gonna spiral out of control..." Lurk opened up the Special Options - Create species to examine it.______________Special Options - Create speciesThis option allows the progenitor to create a standardized template for all future offspring of this bloodline - All future spawns will be of the new species type -despite if parents have evolved yet.New species will replace "Goblin" and become a new species in its own right! Congratulations on finding a new combination never seen before!Special options when upgrading a template to be retroactive on the entire species. FTB cost varies______________"Ah that is nice... Instead of using FTB on individuals if something becomes available I can add to the species it can be added to all in the species?... So this new species will require the fire elemental I have from Resti to go offline for a while?" Lurk looked over the message informing him how the new species Fire Lizardkin required the Elemental to be used to upgrade the species. Clearly thanks to the new upgrade Element mixing he could add an element type to his bloodline now."Chief... What did you want to say?" Aurk asked standing just outside of their area." Aurk was looking at Lurk as he was staring into space."Right... Sit Aurk... This will take a while... I think you need to know about -our- bloodline now..."Lurk then began to inform everyone how he had insight and control into the family members of his bloodline and the ones that -joined- the bloodline. Whenever someone joined or newborns were added he would gain power that he could use to augment the bloodline even further. He did not go into full details but explained it as best he could."There are some things we need to handle right now before we lose the option too" Lurk looked at the naming option of Lula and Aurk's new spawn - there was a timer slowly ticking away and when that was over he lost any ability to manipulate anyone involved in creating that spawnling with FTB points. Lurk explained how he could upgrade Lula, Aurk and their yet unnamed child."This would mean that I would spend this power which I have so much off to upgrade. How would you like to do it?" Lurk decided to no longer keep this part to himself. He looked over the options for the current situation.____Current FTB: 8Create Species Costs: 1 FTB + Special RequirementsCreating the species itself also cost FTB, Lurk opened the options for the new spawn.____Name and pick skills for the spawn!: expanded options due to level upRandomly 2 Skills learned -picked by !"#%!"#- :Riding =E Crafting : Pottery =D Selected Slot Options Available 2 free Insert any skill from Progenitor :1 : ---2 : ---Chance of gaining up to 0-4 some of these next skills and abilities randomly that pass on - The higher the # of the higher chance of the trait/skill being included at "some" level.

He could still utilize the option to augment the parents with any FTB so the spawn was guaranteed them. After talking to everyone, both Aurk and Lula wanted the best for their Spawn - but ultimately left it in the hands of Lurk to decide all the options. When they heard about all the options Lurk had to work with and how he did not have quite enough points to add enough abilities or skills and even how he was sitting with the Ogre Magi Curse high-cost problem, it was one of the more worrisome of the issues since that eventually Sala/Lula and their future kids could eventually evolve into brutish ogres losing their intellect.Lurk began to think about it as he did he did not see Lula and Sala move together to start whispering together. Lurk had a lot of points now from the "bonus" that was awarded because of the 2nd generation. But it was still shy of the points needed to unlock the Ogre magi curse AND give Aurk and Lula's new child guaranteed abilities that he could pick for it. Lula meanwhile headed outside of the camp while Lurk pondered - Sala looking awfully psyched and happy."Right... I need to give them the Fire Magic... That's 1 point each... But I could just give the spawn Fire magic... Is it worth it to give Aurk Pure Ogre Power ? to ensure the 100 %? Yeah, he would also get stronger... and the elite trait would propagate down the line much stronger... But it is a lot of points..."While Lurk pondered, Sala leaned over to Resti and whispered with her - she grew flustered and quiet, Sala was curious over it but shrugged and shuffled over to Sylphie and whispered to her again. She also was flustered and Sala once more got confused and annoyed even!."Why do you guys not want more of Lurks spawnlings??" Sala said out loud now enough for Lurk to hear."Uh, that is not what I sai..." Resti said, Sylvie was blushing and tried to play with her twins to distract herself."Wait, what?" Lurk stopped pondering, what was going on here."Weeeeeell, Sala thinks you need more of that power yes? Well! Lula and Sala had a thought!" Sala pointed towards the entry point of the camp area - Lula coming inside dragging the three Female goblins that were part of the six goblins born from the women they rescued. All of them looking flustered and slightly on edge if not right out -eager-Lurk opened his eyes wide, he looked at the female goblins and the proud nodding Lula giving him a thumbs up. He quickly looked to Aurk for help but even Aurk was looking on as if this was a given. Lurk panicked slightly and turned to look at Resti and Sylphie and Sala. But instantly froze."... Why is everyone alright with this!!" Lurk exclaimed---------After having calmed down Sala and Lula that had decided that Lurk was about to impregnate all the females again +the three female goblins and now Emily. He sat them all down trying to explain how this would only aggravate the situation. But Sala and Lula did not understand/care."I think I get it..." Resti said she had along with Sylphi put the kids to sleep."The more you add the more points you might get - but you worry about the points not being enough for the new kids... And also...""Overpopulation," Lurk said with a stern tone."If there are suddenly too many goblins here, we will begin to run out of resources quicker. Also, there is the Evil Trait to consider... The more goblins there is, the less control and overwatch I will have over everyone before I can solve or limit its spreading somehow... It could spiral out of control really quickly... Suddenly we would have a camp of hungry/angry goblins that would perhaps even leave or lose control to their Evil trait." Aurk nodded as he could remember when the goblin tribe would run out of food - how goblins would resort to simply eating each other or go to war against other goblins if they had no easy route to easy prey."Hmpf... The females here would be more than happy to just carry your spawn!" Sala huffed, taking some pride in almost having the chief claim all the current females to make the tribe stronger and to -solve- the power points problem Lurk seemed to be having.Lurk peeked at the three females sitting slight away from the camp - when they heard Sala talked about them they suddenly peaked their ears and stared with expectations. Just how much do these goblins want his spawn! Lurk shook his head."I do not just want to create an endless swarm of goblins... It would go really bad really fast... The humans would come through and murder us all if we stand out too much..." Lurk tried to explain - as he looked at the countdown in the menu ticking away - the time before he had to pick the abilities before he would lose the option to augment Lula Aurk and their kid."Also I know that not -everyone- wants to keep having my spawn" Lurk looked at Resti."Not everyone is like you, Sala." Lurk already knew that Resti was not planning to go all out like Sala had been. Which he had been pondering over for a while how to handle, since well. He was Fertile. And every single time he had sex so far - they all got pregnant.Lurk quickly opened up the Advanced menu as he got an idea he had been working on and off in the back of his head. He did not want to constantly impregnate Resti and Sylvie.He expanded the reproduction options rune aspects of himself but it was impossibly complex. Checking up on Sala it was much more straightforward. He looked over the top runes to look for anything he could identify or manipulate to perhaps "pause" someones ability to become pregnant. He did have a good idea but it was impossible to -change- the hardcoded runes in the avatar menu.But then the progenitor menu popped up._____________Rune Insight gainedReproduction On/Off = 1 FTB to unlock on a species at will that is part of your bloodline. 1 gender_____________"Ah... Well, that solves the overpopulation issue... I can stop anyone bloodline from getting pregnant, wait I need to unlock it per gender?... Urgh great double point cost..."He snapped out of the Avatar menu no time having passed meanwhile."Lurk, I think it is ok for you to collect the points..." He heard Resti say, he quirked an eyebrow at hearing it."You need to change the goblins for your plans and to make them friendlier with humans... I do not mind sharing you with more... Well... A little..." Resti looked like she had -some- trouble with it."Bah, this would just be for the spawns for the other goblins here right?!" Sala said knowing that she had a much more personal connection like Resti and Sylvie had with Lurk but she knew the Female goblins just wanted the -honor- from it. She turned to look at the 3 females that nodded eagerly."Sala, Resti and Sylphie are Lurks special females!" Sala beamed looking proud, Resti blushing and Sylvie smiling with blush too."We still have resources enough to handle more goblins, I will leave it to you Chief" Aurk nodded and got up, Lula jumped up and leaped onto the back of Aurk giving a cheer. Aurk almost stumbling from the sudden assault from Lula."Have fun!" Lula grinned hanging off Aurk's back.Lurk looked at Sala, Resti, and Sylvie - they all agreed. He looked at the three female goblins that seemed to be slowly realizing that everyone was reaching a positive conclusion for them. The goblins born from the females were all Sun goblins just like the others. They were not deformed so it was not that, which was holding Lurk back. They all looked rather normal but with the added goblin traits that he himself had. The females look at him hungrily having a hard time from restraining themselves."... I could finally unlock that Ogre magi curse at least..."Lurk managed to think, apparently showing some form of acceptance on his face, before he got swarmed by females. Resti and Sylvie decided to retreat out of the camp area. Sala carrying the baskets with the newborns blushing madly, Sylphie was holding her cheeks feeling they were almost burning and had a flustered look in her eyes as they both reacted to seeing the initial onslaught that Lurk was put under by Sala and the three other Goblins.-1 FTB Unlocked On/off Reproduction - Goblin Females was the last sane thought Lurk managed to get off before Ravenous took the helm since he needed to do at least "1" test... He hoped he remembered...
