With a big sigh sand around Cairn's feet whips into small tornado that quickly surrounds the statue. It quickly calms down, but some of it clings to the body and seems to form protecting layer. Part of it fills the cracks on the body and Cairn stands straight, out of fighting stance.

"You said you'll help. You're not helping. You said you will not attack yet you threatening me. If you're here against your will you should be eager to go. Yet you delay until they can re-organize. Are you then one of the drug dealers?

And I said the truth. There is no ill will otherwise you wouldn't be standing anymore. That's not the threat, but simple fact."

It seems strange eloquence suddenly abandons the statue and it starts sounding more like pebbles grating on one another again and it focuses on completely different topic.

"Who Gurg?"

OOC: Cairn never saw the bonds (I'm not sure it was even in the description) - she was facing him
OOC2: Second Wind, just in case

Audrey! Get out of here. Run! Run back home. Tell Master that... Tell Master that Veruza will be home soon, she just has to finish one last contract. A promise she made to herself... The words of the young Kalashtar carry the weight of Divine Edict. The statement is not so much a question of her sister, as an innate understanding.



You like killing Rubble, Gurg no problem for you. Says Veruza to the talking detritus pile, she then snaps her head at the former gladiatorial champions, Ugly, Lizard Face, if one of you doesn't lead us to; A. the drugs slash short people, or B. the ringleaders of this sorry circus, I'll have the short tempered dwarf trample you both! Now hop to it, snap snap circus face.

[MENTION=2011]KarinsDad[/MENTION] After reading your response, I also apologize for my quick assumptions. I understand that you didn't realize my original intent. Living Forgotten Realms has a specific rule barring PC vs. PC combat without express PC and DM consent. That coupled with the warlock damage rule, in both LEB and L4W, brought me to an inference of a "PC vs PC Combat Consent" rule that was non-existent.

KD, I can tell you're doing your best to get along with me, and I appreciate that. I'll continue to do my best to make your play experience enjoyable as well. Thanks, for being a good sport, and contributing in meaningful ways. Even if we don't always agree, I appreciate your presence.

You like killing Rubble, Gurg no problem for you.

The rumbling intensifies until it's almost like an avalanche
"We hate killing! There was too much of it. Wherever I go, you people just kill kill kill! I defend! They defended" he indicates battered warriors "do we like killing?" the voice goes lower and lower in volume until the words are barely audible
"The Lady Mage said it's a sad world. The Mist hurt. Everything is empty. after a moment of silence he returns to (almost) normal volume

"I go. Please come. We find our own grove and you can grow to be new Green Fingers."

OOC: History 25 to get the reference

Audrey comes over and stands next to Veruza."I'd, I'd, like to try Veruza, but it's so tall. And it has those spikes at the top. You'd never make that climb. I can't either. I'm scared of going up there again. I need a rope or something."

[sblock=OOC]
It's a 40 foot tall wall. That would be daunting to anyone. Even climbing in the corner of the two walls for a +5 additional bonus, the first 30 feet is relatively easy with Divine Skill, but there is a DC 22 second Climb roll that she would need ~16 or higher on the die to make.

"You said you'll help. You're not helping. You said you will not attack yet you threatening me."

"Youse still liar. I say I surrender, not help. I say I defend myself, not threaten. I say I talk, but all youse do is yell at me and expect me to do what you tell me. Youse in trouble statue boy. Gurg coming, magic lady about to fry youse, and now youse be peeing in your pants." the Hobgoblin laughs as he continues to back away.

[sblock=OOC] Didn't realize the rope was gone...[/sblock]

Baern puts his weapons away and moves over to the wall. He begins to climb slowly and surely, trying to avoid injury.

[sblock=OOC] Athletics to double move 5 squares 1d20+10=19
This will probably take some time. Hmm, maybe I should have taken a short rest to heal up a bit first...[/sblock]

 

[Neurotic]

OOC: it is questionable if we'll have the time for rest

"Pee? Pants?" Cairn sounds confused, shakes his head and returns to the topic
"You surrendered, that means no fighting. You point that thing on me is fighting. Lady no fight. Go coward, your people in the wild show more courage while doing biological things then you with weapons in hand."

OOC: Ready action: Weight of earth if hobbo returns withing reach

[sblock=OOC] Didn't realize the rope was gone...[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]
The only rope I was aware of is the one that Cairn used to try to lower himself to the ground. He had asked to use the rope NOT to climb down, but to loop over the spikes and allow him to use Athletics as a Repel instead of Acrobatics to lower the damage from a fall. He PM asked me if he could do and I said ok.

So, the rope was not tied to anything above (that would have taken some actions), it was just looped over the spikes and fell to the ground once Cairn fell.

"So, let me get this straight, we're gonna let the hobgoblin go without getting any information about who put us in here? Veruza can you charm this guy or what?"

[sblock=ooc] KD, do we have time for short rest or extended rest? Also should we put Dalvach on "resting in tavern" status until he resurfaces? We could likely get 1 or 2 more people to join up if the adventure would suit that many? [/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]
The PCs are still in a situation and are not yet at a safe area to take any sort of rest.
