The door moves open easily, with no lock to be seen, and, fortunately, no horrid creaking to alert whoever is inside.

The room is about 15 foot by 15, with six poorly constructed bunk beds, little more than hammocks slung from rickety frames. These stand along the walls of this room. Each is heaped with a vermin-infested blanket and a lump of straw serves as a rather crude pillow.

There are six goblins sleeping here. Two are curled up together on one bed (clothed, I should add), with the others scattered around. The smell in the room is not great!

Before Jovik passes under the lintel, Jokad whispers, "Remember the Glassworks." His face is stone cold.

Jokad pads silently over to the two goblins sleeping together. He grips his sword tightly in two hands determined to make it as swift and painless as possible. He raises the blade overhead and awaits Joviks signal to let it fall.


OOC: Jokad will take the two together because he can most likely get the other with 'Cleave'. If Jovik is up for it, Jokad will stand ready as Jovik moves around the room slitting throats. Everyone else can be poised to take one out should any awaken before Jovik can finsh the deed. Jovik isn't up to doing this on his own we can all strike at once to almost the same effect (except 1 will be unaccounted for).

Danth certainly remembered the glassworks, and the raid on the town, and he had no mercy for these terrible, vile goblins. He raises his morningstar, and aims a crushing strike at one of the sleeping beastie's skulls.

Coup de grace

OOC: My coup de grace delivers a minimum of 8 pts of damage, which should be enough to outright kill them, if not it's an 18 Fort save. So Jovik will definitely take advantage of that.

Jovik take's Goblin Hook and slakes the blade's thirst for goblin blood by quieltly slitting the throats of the sleeping goblins.

It is not something you will want to remember. It is not the actions of heroes. But then you aren't here to be heroes. You are here to revenge a hideous series of attacks and slaughters on Sandpoint by these murderous vermin. You are here to neutralise the Thistletop risk and kill or capture the demon lady that appears to be driving their actions.

But killing something in its sleep still feels wrong.

Jokad, Danth, and Jovik strike quickly and hard. The power of Danth's blow causes the collapse of the bed the goblin was lying in, forcing the spasming corpse of the goblin onto the floor as he bleeds his life into the floor. Jokad takes out two with a quick series of strikes. Jovik works differently. He moves rapidly from body to body, efficiently slicing deep cuts in their necks, severing veins, and causing gurgling, panicked goblins to crash, writhing, onto the floor, their legs kicking as they fade, their eyes wide with fear.

Jokad and Danth clean up, dispatching those that are left before turning on those whose deaths did not come quick enough.

It is a horrible thing you have done, but you feel it was necessary. When you finish, the room is slick with blood.

"This was out of need and justice," says Kael simply enough to his allies. However, it is obvious that the need of the deed does not outweigh the conscious within the sorcerer.

Jokad calmly wipes the blood from his blade on one of the grimy blankets. His face is still stone cold as he looks around at the carnage. "Have a care not to step in the blood. It will make us too easy to track."

"Where to next?"

Danth too take a moment to wipe the blood from his weapon, so as not to drip any on the floor when the begin moving. "I'm not sure where to head next," he says quietly, "But the more of these creatures we can slay before we are discovered, the better our chances of success."
