[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 5712074, member: 16069"] [B]The Rivenroar Crypt[/B] Ahead Kali spies in to a fairly clean guardroom – by Goblin standards, some one has clearly made an effort some time in the past, the place is dank and smells of mildew however. Nearest to him are a pair of bulky looking Hobgoblins, they look to be the real deal, wearing chainmail over thick leathers, clutching heavy shields in one hand and incredibly nasty looking spiked flails in their other hands. The pair keep a constant vigil staring up the stair, and seemingly through Kali. Every now and then one of them turns around, briefly, to look behind… and with good reason. Behind the pair a smaller figure, a Goblin, wearing a thick travelling cloak that seems to have something (words, symbols or…) written on it – or else decorated in some way. The cloak wearing Goblin seems to be berating, in his mother tongue, two other Goblins – Kali is fluent in the language of course. Alas however, because of the angle of the stairs, Kali can only see the other two Goblins’ feet – and he can tell little from their boots. [I]Dith-piccable, it’th dith-piccable. Behawving lyke a wowdy bunch ov wazzokth![/I] The cloaked Goblin is quite clearly in charge, and has a pronounced lisp- either that or he’s doing the voice for effect. [I]It’th thith tha kind ov behavwiour that yew exthibit wen yaw withh Thinrewth?[/I] Kali makes out ‘Thinrewth’, and substitutes ‘Sinruth’, the Goblin leader. Silence for a moment, it’s odd that Kali can only see the furthest two Goblins’ footwear, as that’s all they’re looking at too. [I]Wewll?[/I] Lisper asks, nay demands. [I]No-ow![/I] The pair chorus back like naughty schoolboys. [I]Noa, whath?[/I] [I]No-ow, Unholy Jeff[/I] The pair chorus again. Throughout this exchange, and while the two Hobgoblin Guards to the fore share looks and giggle a little at their compatriots being told off, Kali can see, hear and smell – fire. Or rather he can see the glow, but not the source – it comes from the rear of the chamber. Kali takes a tentative step forward, the two Goblins at the back are a ragged pair, with short swords at their belts, and hand-crossbows at the ready – one of them wipes his nose and looks forlorn, then goes back to keeping his head down, the tirade continues. Kali can just make out, both sides of the room – burning braziers with low flames, it is they that illuminate the chamber, ahead a set of important-looking, but very rusted, metal doors. The doors seem to have a plaque above them – alas the Shifter is much too far away to make out what it says there. Job done, he shuffles back to tell his friends… Kali looms out of the dark as Ah-shahran speaks – [I]Did we pick a leader? I’d be happy to give direction in combat, if you’d like. Why don’t you sneaky people move a bit closer, and we’ll time our headlong rush down the stairs with your attacks. Oh, and intimidating battle cries, too.[/I] As Ah-shahran whispers, Gorm ghosts down the stairs a little way. Upon learning that there is light ahead, Freggo puts away his lantern and readies himself on the stairway. He grins a lot, mostly at Ah-shahran’s talk of leaders, then adds – [I]I will gladly follow any advice given that seems wise, and Ah-shahran seems to know what he is doing.[/I] The mumbling Deva smiles back at Freggo. Kyalia, Kali – accompanied by Gorm, head all the way to the bottom of the stairs – silent as the night. The others edge a little way in, but not too far. [I]Ready.[/I] Velani whispers. [I]Target the brutes watching the stairs… I’m headed for the Goblin.[/I] The Sgt. of Fallcrest spies the robed leader – [I]Mine.[/I] She hisses. And then screams, in Goblin – [I]The Red Hand was bloodied and beaten years ago, and soon your corpses will add to the tally of dead! For Fallcrest![/I] And thus the fight begins… [/QUOTE]
