[QUOTE="diaglo, post: 378682, member: 2885"] [b]If you can't beat them...[/b] The nasty little creature lead the adventurers out of the Keep and down the path once again. It, Grack, complained the whole trip about the sunlight. Timmay played mindgames with Grack to get it to reveal any and all information. Bartol and Marcus of Tyr were more watchful. Now they knew the threat was real. Even Bernedette and Thane were quiet. As the group approached the now familiar bend. Grack cowered under Marcus of Tyr. "This bad man's place," Timmay translated for Grack. According to Grack, the bad man apparently killed and ate goblins. Marcus of Tyr reassured Grack he would be safe if he kept to his agreement. So the group continued. Everyone noticed a group of carrion eaters circling above near where the group would leave the path to go to the ravine. "I hope that's not the hostages," Bernedette whispered. "As do we all," Thane replied. Unfortunately, it proved to be a grisly sight. Two female heads, one young and one old, spitted on spears. Grack said nothing. But he hurried off the path and toward the ravine. As Grack neared the previous ambush site, he turned to the group. "Be very quiet," Timmay translated. "We go this way." And they skirted around and took a smaller spoor. Once again they reached the Ravine. "Me go ahead to talk with chief," Grack offered thru Timmay. "Not on your life," Timmay replied. So the group entered the Goblin Cave. Bartol lit a torch. They plodded the same tunnel they had travelled before. Grack stayed in the lead. At the guardpost, only 2 goblins met them. A series of negotiations began. Marcus of Tyr, Bernedette, Thane, and Timmay handed their weapons to Bartol. And 1 of the guards stayed to keep an eye on the barbarian. Grack and the other guard took the rest of the group to speak with the chief. When the others were out of sight and sound, Bartol flexed his muscles. The goblin cowered but did not leave. "You were responsible for those ladies' deaths, weren't you?" Bartol said. The goblin just stared. "Fine," Bartol mummured. "I can't see killing you. And I don't know how much trouble the others are getting into unarmed without me. So..." And with that he brought his sword around just missing with the flat of the blade. The goblin shrieked. It tried to stab Bartol but was wide. Bartol didn't miss the second time. The goblin sprawled out cold. "Sleep tight," Bartol said as he went to find the others. Around the corner and up ahead a ways Bartol could hear voices. He recognized Timmay, Bernedette, and Marcus of Tyr speaking, but the other voice was not Thane. There was also some guttural goblinspeak in the background. Bartol listened for a moment and then entered the room. The chieftain just smiled. "So glad you could join us," the Chief said in perfect Common. "Is he dead?" "Nah," Bartol answered. "But he will have a headache for a week." Bernedette continued the negotiations. The party's demands included: 1) freeing the hostages 2) no more raids 3) information on the other tribes and 4) help against the other tribes. Their offer was: 1) leave the goblins alone 2) tell the Keep to leave them alone 3) a share of the treasure from the other tribes 4) and to forgive any passed crimes. The chief's demands were: 1) gold 2) more slaves 3) arms and armor 4) death of the Old Hermit. His offer included: 1) to let the party live 2) to send Grack with the group as the tribe representative 3) to split the treasure 70/30 Needless to say. The negotiations continued... [/QUOTE]
