*With his rage gone and his magic failing too, Somac still manages to hit the orc, although the attack is far less impressive than his others had been. Nonetheless, it is enough to finish off the last of the barbarian's enemies.*
*With Alton trembling in fear over his master's critical condition, Cade's ragged breathing slows down at the last second, leaving him alive--at least for the moment.*
(OOC:
Somac hits for 12 damage. The Enlarge Person is gone next round just before his turn.
Cade manages to stabilise after a bit of good luck and a bad Arthur Miller reference from me on Invisible Castle.
It is the awakened Scun's turn.)

*Scun grabs the wand off the ground and stands up.*
*Six hobgoblins advance out of the bushes towards the group, and one of them says, in Common*
"I'm not quite sure why you backstabbing murderers decided to kill some of my band, but against the wishes of some of my number, I am not going to try to make you repay blood with blood. However, for murdering some of our friends and family, I will require a weregild of 500 gold, or items of equivalent value."
*Suddenly, there is a shout in Goblin, somewhat more high-pitched than most hobgoblin voices--perhaps a female, though they are rare among hobgoblin warriors.*
[SBLOCK]
"Wait! The big one killed Garank. I challenge him to a blood-duel for murdering my brother without any provocation. Everyone else, stand aside."
[/SBLOCK]
*Her voice is choked with emotion as she points at Somac.*
*The leader who had addressed the party in Common replies in Goblin*
[SBLOCK]
"Foolish woman--don't let your emotions get in your way; you realise you can't win."
[/SBLOCK]
*The hobgoblin girl responds passionately, her face probably contorted in emotion but unviewable due to her armoured helmet.*
[SBLOCK]
"So be it. Since father died, no one but Garank has been kind to me here. I shall avenge him or I shall join him."
[/SBLOCK]
(OOC:
Not really anybody's turn right now. The talking needs a response

Her mission done, Tandi races to the young girl and her render. She hopes that if necessary, Scun can revive it enough in case these hobgoblins change their mind and attack.
"A'Jardin, what are they saying?"

A'jardin tries to quietly translate what the Hobgoblins are saying in goblin for the party members near him. Somac, it seems that the hobgoblin you killed was related somehow to the really pissed off one, she's demanding that the others let her fight you one-on-one. While they are arguing, A'jardin re-rolls the shortened scroll and puts it back in his belt pouch. Once the arguing stops, A'jardin adresses the leader in common, We must know what your intent in this situation was before we decide on our course of action. If your intent was honourable, then I will do my best to meet your demands, but if not, I see no reason to pay your weregild.
OOC:
[sblock]I had forgotten that A'jardin even knew goblin until I was checking my character sheet for my skills, lucky I guess. Is Scun running around healing people or is all the talking happening instantaneously? I really don't think he'd stop healing his potentially dying allies to listen to the hobgoblins. The talking is mostly seeking information as stated, but A'jardin is also trying to waste a bit of time so Scun has time to heal more party members. Also, could we have a re-description of the hobgoblins? I'm mostly interested in what weapons are visible. In other news, we have some mighty lucky stabilization rolls around here, I was really worried for the entire second half of the fight.[/sblock]
By the way, it might be obvious, but just because I have something sblocked doesn't necessarily mean it's DM-eyes-only. The ones labelled OOC: are just to avoid cluttering up my posts with the OOC stuff. If it is private I'll mark it as such with a label.

"Our band of adventuring hobgoblins was hired by a few local villages to eliminate a particularly dangerous marauding band of orcs and their "big friend." Initially, we thought this probably was just an ogre, but it turned out to be a gray render. When we found the orcs' render hunting away from the orcs, we stalked it and lost track of it, but then we thought we saw it again and attacked. It was the wrong one, and the one we were stalking burst out and attacked us too. Then you guys murdered my people for no reason. Meanwhile, the orcs came to attack as well. Incidentally, the barbarian murdered Vrina's half-brother Garank, and she has rightfully claimed the privilege of single-combat against him over this, so that's something you're going to have to deal with."
*As Scun moves over to heal the critically-wounded Rillian:*
"By the way, I do see your cleric friend with its wand, and based on your previous chaotic and evil actions, I'm going to have to assume it is waking up your friends for the purpose of trying to regain enough strength in numbers to kill us all. Now, admittedly, its possible that you aren't planning this, but its an orc, so you never know, and I really have no reason to believe you are not--or at the least, I'd rather not you get the idea in your mind that 'Hmm...I don't want to pay for the people I murdered, and we're strong enough that killing those hobgoblins instead is another option,' especially if it was through our own inaction that you did this. If it doesn't understand Common, one of us can tell it in Orcish too, but I'm afraid I do not trust you enough to allow this at the moment, so we will shoot the orc unconscious if it tries, though we, at least, use nonlethal damage."
*The hobgoblins have not drawn their weapons on you--yet, but most of them seem to fight with longsword and shield, and they also have bows. There are six of them standing.*

So you attacked an innocent Grey Render and were only stopped from killing it because you were ambushed by your real target, I wouldn't be so quick to throw around words like 'evil' if I were you. Just so I am clear, you are demanding 500 pieces of gold as weregold and single combat for the killing of one of your men?
OOC:
[sblock]It looks like your numbers may be off, I count three hobgoblins who were killed in the posts, from an original ten, unless the one Cade wounded is staying in the forest., which would be smart now that I think of it.[/sblock]
