Adventures in Cormyr - The Doorway from Everywhere.

[Legildur]

Dowkan curses quietly as Goran is led away. Torn between rushing to attack and waiting to see if some advantage can be obtained, his decision is all the more difficult for lack of communication with the others - being some distance to the flank.

"Patience," comes Thodan's hissed whisper out of the darkness. "We allowed our companion to try this, and now we must see it through. For better, or worse. If he gains something from this, so much the better. If he fails, then we shall avenge his death."

Goran follows the man, feeling slightly uncomfortable "So how you think We help each other?"

Goran follows the man, feeling slightly uncomfortable "So how you think We help each other?"

[sblock=Jemal Only]Goran walks down the ramp into an area that has been partial excavated not long ago. A small fire burns near a pentagonal shaped archway which backs onto a stone wall.

Sitting down on the ground facing the ramp-way Lord Gargdol looks Goran over with an appraising eye and motions for Goran to sit. As Goran makes himself comfortable he hears the thudding steps as one of the ogres walks down the ramp and takes up position behind him 10 feet behind him.

"Pay no attention to Three Eyes, he's here to make certain that you behave yourself, at least until we know whether or not you can be trusted."

The Ogre named three eyes (apparently after the large birthmark on his forehead) glares menacingly at Goran all the while cradling his greatclub fondly "Him good boss"

Clearing his throat to catch Goran's attention Lord Gargdol smiles warmly before continuing to address you "My superiors, who aren't Orc's by the way. Have asked me to gather a force to spy on the Cormyrian and to make things [unpleasant[/i] for those who travel these roads. As such I need the help of ones such as yourselves and the friends you mentioned before."

"So Goran tell me a little about yourself and these friends of yours. I must say I'm rather curious as to why you'd be wandering so far off the beaten track, and where your friends exactly are."[/sblock]

 

[Jemal]

[sblock=DM]"My Friends not too far. We here to kill orcs, Goran got hired to help kill orcs. Goran not like orcs, so not really care who hire him." He smiles weakly and looks back at three eyes, grinning friendly-like at him, then looking back "You not like anyone using deese roads? Why?"

*OOC: Goran's being a bit Evasive, after all he DOES know who they're working for, but doesn't want to share that info... If you do want a bluff check, I've no ranks and a 10 Charisma, but I think my 7 ranks in Intimidate give a +2 synergy bonus.*

[Lord_Raven88]

[sblock=Jemal]Lord Gargdol listens attentively to Goran's tale "Well Goran as you can see there are no Orc's here for you to kill, so what is it that brings you to these ruins" Tapping his chin thoughtfully Lord Gargdol surveys the room with a critical eye.

"When we first arrived here, it appeared that someone had recently fought a pitched battle against a small band of orc's, that would be you and your friends I presume."

"Interestingly this chamber bears the signs of being recently excavated, from the inside out. Also there were a number of orc's killed in this very room seemingly as they tried to flee from those who attacked them"

Standing up Lord Gargdol walks over to the pentagonal archway and rests his hand upon it thoughtfully then turns back to look at Goran "Where ever could they have gone!" Lord Gargdol then approaches Goran with an unfriendly look on his face.

"I wouldn't be surprised if your friends were waiting for you this very instant, so Goran how about you tell me what the real reason for your visit is"[/sblock]

Goran stands up as the lord approaches, not liking being threatened. "Goran here to kill orcs. Goran not know orcs weren't here now. Lord Man shouldn't threaten Goran, why you not be nice?" He flexes his clawed fingers and glares down at the man with his draconic eyes, though hasn't yet gone for the giant hammer strapped to his back. "We want kill Orcs, if you not want to work together, Goran go away, nobody hurted?."
(readied action: If an altercation should commence, Goran will grapple the offender.)

[Lord_Raven88]

[sblock=Jemal]Lord Gargdol gazes at Goran evenly "As much as I'd like to believe that you'd leave us alone unharmed, my superiors wouldn't be very happy with me unless I manage to wring the secrets of this place from you."

"Surrender now and you can avoid getting unnecessarily hurt"

Initiative
Three Eyes - 19, Readied action to attack
Goran - 11, Readied action to attack
Lord Gargdol - 7, Readied action to attack [/sblock]

[SBLOCK=DM]Goran's eyes Narrow and his voice comes across cold and hard and his speech patterns no longer sound like those of a simpleton. Slowly and surely, he looks down at the man and speaks clearly, his anger growing with each word. "I Told you. I don't.... Like... being.." With that, he turns around, unswinging his great hammer And smashing it into Three Eyes with a LOUD bellow. [/sblock]

"THREATENED!!!"

[sblock=ooc]
Goran Refocuses as he speaks, and at the begining of the round, takes the following action:
Rage, turn around, 5'step diagonally beside three-eyes as i draw my weapon(move action) so they arent' flanking me, then SMACKDOWN.
Attack + 15, damage 3d6+16, Crit 20/X4
Current AC: 19
Current HP: 57

(BTW, the way I've pictured it, Three Eyes was standing on one side of me and Gardgol on the other. If i 5'step diagonally beside three eyes, I'm no longer within Gargdol's area of attack, though he could 5'step to move in, but I still wouldn't be flanked. is this correct?)

Vardrin waited impatiently, restraining himself from pacing.
