Start the Quest

They’ll explain that their argument over armour colour is getting out of hand, and they want to test new colours to decide once and for all.

Prepare the Goblin Mails

• Dye one goblin mail orange
• Dye one goblin mail blue
• Keep one goblin mail brown (unchanged)
   

Present the Armour

• Return to the generals:
• Give them the orange armour → They reject it. 
• Give them the blue armour → Also rejected.
• Finally, give them the brown armour → They decide the original colour is the best.
   

With the argument settled, the goblin civil war ends.

Congratulations! You’ve Completed Goblin Diplomacy
