Round 6

Angis watched Tommi kill the general. He gave the boy a nod. “Guid lad,” the dwarf murmured. He knew it wouldn’t be easy on the boy, the first kill. But that worry would have to come after the hobgoblins were all dead.

Angis turned, finding only the hobgoblin archer still standing. “Foolish lass,” the dwarf said, grinning wickedly as he spun his axes in his hands. Then he charged in.

With Angis and Titus on either side and Morwin and ORB3 buzzing about her head, the Hobgoblin archer was unable to flee as Enseth slammed her into the pillar. She grunted and ducked low, trying to dive under the shields - trying anything she could to get away - but there was Dandin, under and between his much taller allies, and he dealt the killing blow as she tried to slip past them. He skewered her with his rapier and he heard the air leave her lungs in a whistling sound as he pulled his blade free. She fell to the floor, her grey-brown eyes wide and her mouth gasping.

Averiel called from the stairwell, "Cellar hall is still clear at the moment, what now?"

End of Encounter for now.

OOC: The captured townsfolk are: "They've got 'em in a warehouse, and a few in the ol' Mill." (as Told to you by Drui who heard it from the townsfolk you rescued.)

 

[Kobold Stew]

An arterial spurt from the general decorates Tommi's chest, and up onto his face, but he is otherwise fine. He had gritted his teeth, and done what was needed, and as he stood over the fallen general, knife gripped tightly in his hand, he said simply, "Let's get out of here. There could be more coming."

 

[FitzTheRuke]

"Assassinating their General is a victory, to be sure." said Averiel, not wanting to down-play a great triumph, "But were we not here to rescue the townsfolk from a life of slavery and toil?"

 

[gargoyleking]

Dandin knelt down next to the archer he'd killed. She'd fought well despite his mockery. And while he may not have dealt the only blow, somehow he felt that her death was his responsibility.

He searched the body for something, anything that she might have treasured. It seemed silly to him, but by keeping such a token she might know that he actually respected her prowess and bravery.

Once he'd found a suitable prize, he looked up to the conversation of the others, barely registering at first what was going on. "Er, yeah, he did say it was a warehouse. Why don't we look upstairs? We still need to hurry though, and I am worried about the story of a red wizard being in the Inn. They know we're here, so it'll only be a matter of time before they find a way to get to us."

 

[Kobold Stew]

Tommi nods. "Upstairs."

With the hobgoblins vanquished, Angis paused to take a breath. He was hurting, but they couldn’t stay here. He walked over to the dead hobgoblin general and hacked his head off with his axes. Then he found an old flour sack and stuffed the head inside before cleaning the axes and putting them away.

“Le’s gae rescue us some villagers,” the dwarven ranger muttered, carrying the sack dripping blood as he walked. “Which way t’ the inn an’ mill?”

Upstairs

The top of the stairs leading to the upper floor had a closed trap door set at an angle which made the large double doors not quite as heavy as they would have been had they been laid flat. Dandin and Tommi pushed them open a crack and peeked out. The enormous thatch-roofed wood structure pavilion was more of a work-house than a warehouse, with many looms, spinning-wheels, and carding drums. Julkoun was famous for its textiles, and this would have been a pleasant place for a day's work in better times - a large social gathering. But here and now the labourers, who had begun work before dawn, were chained to their stations and watched by a hobgoblin overseer and four goblin guards.

The guards took no notice of the opening cellar doors. It seemed very natural to them that someone may come up from the General's meeting room in the store-room below. A townsfolk worker chained to a loom, however, caught Dandin's eye and a look of fear mixed with hope crossed his face and he paused in sliding his shuttle through the warp.

OOC: If you want to attack the guards, I'll build a map, but you may be able to chase 'em off with a bold front and an Intimidation roll. I'll grant whoever wants to roll it advantage if Angis shows them Shorgg's head.

 

[Kobold Stew]

Tommi continues to make his way up through the trap doors. He stands, blood across his face, Gutter in hand. Some of the blood on his shirt, of course, is his, but that may not be obvious. He calls out,

"Oy. I've slaughtered your general. He wept as he died. Who's Next?"

He spins the blade around his wrist and stands, ready to pounce towards the biggest guard he can see.

OOC: Tommi Intimidation: [roll0], and, if with advantage: [roll1].

Round 0

Angis yanked the head of Shorgg out of the bag and tossed it into the center of the hobgoblin guards where it rolled in a bloody circle before staring sightlessly up at them.

“We’re ‘avin’ a special t’day lads,” he said as he yanked out his axes and twirled them around. The dwarf still looked like death warmed over, but there was a defiant fire in his eyes.
