Trader of Favors, a Pactbinder.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Physical traits
Hell-Stuff Infused Body- I have the demon's strength, my body is as difficult to cut as stone and i can commit feats of might beyond even the most muscled mortal.
Demon-Eyed- There is little that can hide from the sight of a true demon, and with such sight i can pierce any illusion, see past any darkness.
Small Horns- I have small sharp horns growing upwards from my temples. Not the most intimidating or combat-worthy.
Demon's Claws- These claws, formed out of concentrated hell-stuff, can rend metal and tear flesh apart. They are useful both in and outside combat and are mostly retractable so as not to interfere with the use of my hands when i need them for more delicate tasks.
Various Minor Injuries-These things take a toll on me for now, but they will fade in time, especially if i can find some source of power to feed on...

Skills
Mercantilism (+5) Without skill in bargaining a pact-binder would be next to useless at his trade. My dealings with people of all kinds gives me a strong understanding of basic economics of all sorts, and great skill in barter and the negotiation of terms.
Power Brokering (+5) I am quite skilled in the subtle magic of transferring and consuming power, and in reaping the maximum Spritual benefit from my dealings with mortals
Clerical Skill (+5) I know how to keep careful records and write contracts without loopholes. I'm also handy at digging through written information quickly and effectively.
Diplomacy (+2) While i have a much easier time in establishing "Mutually Beneficial" agreements my past as a trader and pact-binder have sometimes necessitated that i soothe sensibilities and turn potential enemies into potential customers.

Perquisites
Linguist I've learned many languages across the span of many worlds. While i havn't retained all of those languages i did make sure to protect the knack i have picked up for learning them quickly.
Debt Metabolist Not all demons possess the power to manipulate debt by their own power and use it to their own ends, i do.
Thought Attunement My Demonic Horns give me the power to read the emotions of mortals with ease, and even provide me with enough of their mental context that i can mostly understand what a mortal says even when i do not know their language.

Inventory
Masterfully made Human Noble-man's clothing. (worn silk and linen material)
Centaur Leather Belt (worn)
Centaur Leather Boots (worn)
Ice Wolf Fur Cloak (worn Four empty inner pockets)
Masterfully made multipurpose Backpack ((worn), mostly empty.)

You tell Narguthep to keep an eye out for kobold spies, and to catch one if he is able. You also ask him to render some small aid to Thalei in keeping her safe from harassement. To Thalei explain that you are going out to seek the power you need to defeat Kerrick from the goblins, reassuring her that you will return two weeks from now at the very latest.

That done you leave the cave with little ceremony, making way for the goblin fortress barely within sight.

...

The plains are a great wriggling mass of "plantlife" that squirms and fidgets underfoot. Mostly it's not difficult to walk upon, but the particularly thick tendrils prove to be bad footing even here where the ground is largely flat. As you travel you stick to the better worn paths, where the tendrils have been either totally trodden away or at least been crushed underfoot. It takes you a few hours to reach your destination. Great furrows and ditches in the earth have been dug around the place, the ground almost seeming churned. Here and there you spot tunnels and alcoves built into the furrows, many of which with armed goblins protecting them. The fortress itself consists of three interconnected towers, each with great gates built into them.

You do not yet believe you've been spied, but with your keen eyes you can see the telltale signs of many patrols and sentries. Any closer and you will certainly be seen. It may be worth considering how exactly you wish to make your appearance. You suppose you could also attempt to sneak past the most of the military presence here.

Openly walk up to one of the outer patrols, one small enough that we could easily "handle" them: Ask them who they serve, and this entities stance on demons such as ourself.
Not that hung up on the ruler part, though it gives a nice touch to not ask about the general goblin opinion towards demons, but the one that really matters - their rulers' opinion about them. Well, it isn't truly insulting either, but even as a lesser demon, we should have a modicum of pride.

Obviously, we should gauge their true intentions with our horns, possibly even before we speak to them, and act accordingly should they be of hostile manner.

Why are we at the goblin fortress instead of killing werebears, again?

Due to that crazy democratic system, called majority vote!


Well, and due to a tribe of kobolds, mages and other entrapments, possibly trumping our demons strength. Besides, its a goblin fortress. We oughta  be able to work with that, or them, quite easily.
