[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 6741239, member: 16069"] [B]Chapter 14: Klarg & Ken.[/B] The first goblin rushing in with its scimitar drawn to attack the adventurers is very quickly sent skittering back, a hammer blow from Zyler's, well... hammer, the poor creature looks as sick as a dog, and yet it lives- some consolation. The second goblin following on pulls up short, grabs out its shortbow and seconds later fires an arrow into Zyler's side, the priest winces. Grimm strides forward, to the priest, screams “FOR TYMORA!” aiming his words directly at the worshipper of Tempus, barely glancing at the wounded goblin which moments later he cuts in two. The paladin continues forward to menace the second bow-wielding goblin, at which point Klarg lurches around the corner, spots Grimm and rushes forward screaming. The paladin suddenly looks less sure of himself, he however ducks and dodges just in time to avoid the bugbear's morningstar. Zyler steps up to join Grimm- the pair are blocking the enemies' path to their companions, the priest's warhammer comes again and shatters the remaining goblin's skull, like an over-ripe melon it explodes. Not to be outdone Grimm shapes and stabs Klarg in the gut, the bugbear wheezes and oozes blood. Grimm grins, too soon, Klarg rights himself and then flails wildly, the bugbear's morningstar connects with the paladin's shoulder. The knight is lifted off his feet and slammed into the cavern wall, all the air and much of his life gone from him. Grimm mouths a prayer and tries desperately to gulp down the pain. “Klarg Kill” Klarg states, in a matter-of-fact manner, and closes in on the paladin; a second later the bugbear twists and turns, his progress halted, a crossbow bolt protruding from the creature's barrel chest, blood pumps and spurts from the wound. Zalt's hands dance in an effort to reload his weapon. Enough is enough, Klarg is spent- he spills his weapon and sinks to one knee, one hand clutching at the crossbow bolt, the other out before him, either to defend himself from attack or else in supplication. “Klarg yield. Klarg tell all- if Klarg live?” Klarg looks up, gasping- a slick of blood from his mouth. Zyler nods at the bugbear. “You will live, if only for a short time more- until they stretch your neck and you dance on air.” The priest spits. A minute or so later the broken bugbear has been lassoed and hog-tied, Grimm however still looks to be in a lot of pain, almost unable to catch his breath; alas the adventurers have no access to healing. The paladin of Tymora grits his teeth and gets on with it. “Talk” Zalt states and steps in close now that the tall goblinoid has been secured, “tell us where Gundren is?” “Klarg not know- truly. Dwarf taken by Targor Bloodseeker, hobgoblin warrior and his crew. Targor work for King Grol- lord of all Cragmaw Goblins. Klarg not know where King Grol. Klarg not know where Targor. Klarg speak truth.” The assembled adventurers look less than impressed. “That's it.” Zalt looks furious. Klarg grimaces and cowers, and then remembers something. “Klarg hear Targor say about Black Spider.” Klarg adds archly “The what?” Zalt snaps. “Black Spider.” Klarg repeats. “What did Targor say about the Black Spider?” Zalt asks, and leans in to hear. “Targor say...”, at this point Klarg adopts a strange croaky voice- his impression of Targor, “he says- something something the Black Spider”, Klarg takes a moment to think deeply, “and then he say- something something.” Klarg nods and smiles, proud of his powers of recall. “That's it?” Zalt fumes. Klarg nods eagerly, very pleased with himself. “And you, of course, know nothing of the Black Spider, whether it is an organisation or a person. In fact I'd put money on the fact that you have never heard of 'the Black Spider' before. Am I right?” Zalt snarls. Klarg nods frantically, still grinning, assured that he is helping. Zalt turns and stalks away. “Klarg tell all Klarg know. Klarg tell true.” The bugbear nods his head furiously, agreeing with himself, hoping the others will too. The interrogation is however interrupted - staggering from the passage ahead of the adventurers comes a very scruffy looking elf, clutching at the wall of the cavern to stay on its feet. “I'm not doing nothing- I'm doing something!” The elf gabbles and then looks up and grins. The assembled adventurers draw weapons and ready themselves for attack. “Who are you?” Zalt eventually asks. “I'm an adventurer. I've been adventuring.” Ken Lee states, and then briefly grins as he slides down the wall into an unmoving heap on the cold cavern floor. [/QUOTE]
