[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 6048791, member: 16069"] [CENTER][SIZE="5"]KOTS Part 5a: We need to talk about Sigur.[/SIZE][/CENTER] The goblin wizard goes to speak... “Shhhh!” Sigur puts his finger to his lips. “Now listen. We're going to ask questions.” The dwarf nods his head, the goblin nods back. “And you're going to answer them.” Sigur continues to nod; the goblin continues to nod back. “And you're not going to lie, or try anything stupid- you're just going to answer the questions.” More nodding from both parties. “Truthfully.” Sigur adds, with menace, and stops nodding his head- the goblin stops too. “Good. Because if I think you’re lying, or not telling us everything...” Sigur grins, “I'll hurt you- bad, real bad... Understand?” The goblin wizard, bright for his race, nods back furiously, enthusiastically. Sigur grins and then punches the creature in the face, smashing its nose and rocking its head back, the goblin flops on to the floor. “I think we're going to get on.” Sigur remarks, and then grabs a crate to sit on, “he's all yours...” the dwarf declares magnanimously. Fifteen minutes later Gokan and Jimmy are back on the surface, a little way from the ruins of the Keep in the thickest part of the brambles, the hog-tied and gagged goblin wizard is tethered to a tree, unconscious, its arm bent at an unnatural angle. The pair finish their work. Gokan turns to head back to the lair; Jimmy grabs the half-orc. “He's...” Jimmy desperately racks his brain trying to find the right word to describe Sigur. “...on our side.” Gokan finishes, and strides off back in to the catacombs. But for how long- Jimmy worries and then rushes to catch up with Gokan. Back in the entrance chamber the bodies of the wolves and goblins are gone, as are all signs of the melee, save the splatters and pools of blood. Sigur, Tonka and Hal are waiting. The dragonborn speaks, “... and so in summary- east a bunch of goblins digging for something, what something we don't know alas...” Tonka winces a little remembering the noise the goblin's arm made when Sigur broke it, the first time. “... to the west a torture chamber, not good, with a hobgoblin commander in charge there...” Tonka shakes his head disapprovingly, “... through the doors to the south, a bunch of 'rotten humans', I can only think our goblin friend was referring to zombies- best guess.” Tonka shakes his head. “Also not good. But best of all there's a goblin chief around these parts- apparently charged with protecting the entrance to the catacombs...” “Balgron...” Jimmy adds. “...the Fat.” Tonka completes his summary. “So...” Tonka is about to ask. “Digging.” Hal states, and not waiting for a response moves towards the east corridor. Leaving his compatriots slightly confused- Sigur shrugs, “makes no difference to me- they're all going to die...” the dwarf adds, and follows after the metal man. Gokan, Jimmy and Tonka head off. The adventurers trail after the metal man. “He was dug up.” Jimmy whispers to Tonka, and nods towards Hal. “What?” Tonka whispers back. “Dad, dug him up.” Jimmy whispers again, and nods towards Hal, again. “Your dad dug who up?” Tonka hisses- not getting it. “My big brother- Hal.” Jimmy replies. “Oh.” Tonka remarks, and thinks about Jimmy's last statement- my big brother?
