[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 6122213, member: 16069"] [CENTER][SIZE="5"]KOTS Part 11a: The Blame Game.[/SIZE][/CENTER] “They’re keen to keep us out!” Tonka states, wiping down his blade. “You seem intent on helping them. How about trying to stay conscious in the future?” Sigur states. “That’s ridiculous… I’ll have you know I’m an expert with my longsword…” Tonka fires back. “At what?” Sigur responds, “… opening jars, levering the lids off things… Warlord! My arse…” “I’ve never been so insul…” “Stick around! There’s plenty more coming your way if you carry on being a liability.” “Li…” Tonka exclaims, but is cut off in his prime. “… Ability! Which is pretty much what you lack.” Sigur notes and wanders off. Tonka stands and fumes. Gokan and Ramm stand statue and continue to stare at Tonka. “What?” Tonka finally explodes, and then instantly regrets shouting- “sorry, good work back there- now let’s search this place, and them.” Tonka points at one of the fallen hobgoblins. Five or so minutes later the three chambers that make up the entrance complex have been searched, nothing of any real note has been found- a few shinies courtesy of the hobgoblins, but that’s it. The five reassemble in the goblin bunk room. “We press on.” Sigur states and points with his mace at the far door, the door the goblin wizard tried to flee through during the adventurers’ first sortie in to the Keep. “No. Not yet.” Tonka states, certain. “Before we go on we’ll search the other chambers we’ve been to previously.” “Hn!” Sigur offers, clearly unhappy. Tonka goes on, “… for two reasons- one, so that we don’t have any surprises later on. I’d hate to find a band of goblins before us and another behind.” “Mmm.” Sigur, concurs, perhaps. “And second, we need to find the body of our fallen brother…” Tonka pointedly looks at Gokan and then Jimmy, the young halfling nods and wipes his eyes. Sigur sighs, and whispers, “… waste of bloody time.” And so thirty minutes later the adventurers have revisited the sites of their previous battles here, in the torture chamber, against the goblin chief- Balgron the Fat, and finally through the secret doors to the excavation site. The chambers are pretty much as they were left, although with one very noticeable difference. “All the bodies have gone…” Jimmy declares. “Mmm.” Tonka notes, and thinks. Even Sigur seems interested in this new fact. “Well?” Tonka asks. “Tidying up?” Jimmy offers. “Alas no, little one.” Tonka offers. “I think we’re going to be seeing these guys again…” Sigur states, hands on hips. “How do you mean?” Jimmy wonders. “Undead.” Tonka confirms. “Oh.” Jimmy states, followed by, “… that’s not good.” Having completed the circuit, and found nothing untoward- not even the body of their fallen comrade Hal, the adventurers are momentarily at a loss. Until… “What’s down there…” Jimmy points to a set of stone steps, leading down in to a cavern, this from the excavation site. “That’s where they kept us.” Sigur states. Gokan nods. “Well then, let’s take a look…” Tonka commands.
