B6: The Veiled Society - IC

[kinem]

Kynar's curved blade slashes the hobgoblin, but the blow is not enough to take the fight out of the creature, who tries to skewer the elf with his longsword and misses.

ooc: Remember, you get +1 on attack and damage due to inspiration from Barek's song.

The naked men attack the hobgoblins with their shovels again. The two who attack the foe Kynar is fighting miss.

But the other man - bent on revenge - scores a blow with his shovel on the hobgoblin who Rezak felled. He then looks at Rezak, as if wondering what the policy of the newcomers will be in regards to slaying the fallen hobgoblins.

ooc: PCs to act; only the hobgoblin near Kynar remains standing

 

[HolyMan]

"Moves, moves gets out ta way!" Rezak yells at the slaves with their shovels. Letting the men pass by the rogue he steps up beside the elf to help with the last hobgoblin.

[sblock=ooc] Up to you but friendly people can move through one anothers spots. So Rezak will wait till the slaves get out of the way and then step up next to Kynar when that space is empty. [/sblock]

 

[kinem]

ooc: The tunnel is too small for people to pass by each other, but Rezak and the 2nd shovel-man can swap places (after Kynar and the hobgoblin act).

 

[ghostcat]

From his position down the corridor, Caridoc can hear the sounds of combat. However, he knowns that there is no way he can get passed the others. Therefore, he does not let the noise distract him from watching the party's rear.

 

[Theroc]

Kynar grinned as he followed through with his slash, whirling about for another blow. "It seems your time has come, slaver..." He murmured, attempting another strike after his flourish, bringing his elegant blade down once more.

[sblock=Action]
Slash against the remaining Hobgoblin
1d20+8=17, 1d10+5=11 Bard buff included this time. [/sblock]

 

[kinem]

Kynar's prediction seems, like his sword, on target as the blade cuts a bloody gash. The hobgoblin loses consciousness and falls, bleeding.

At Rezak's urging, the naked men try to head out of the room, casting aside their shovels and leaving the party to deal with the bleeding hobgoblins.

One of the men passes Rezak, which brings him face to face with Celythia in the tunnel. Embarrased, the man looks around for something to cover himself with.

"Thank ... you for freeing us" he says. Unused to conversation and with a dry mouth, his words don't come easily at first.

 

[Rhun]

"Can you tell us what was going on here," asks Celythia to the man, averting her eyes from his nakedness. "Why were these brutes making you dig, and where did you all come from?"

 

[jkason]

Barek Fhald, half-orc bard

"Argh!! Tat' blasted carin sung, makin me wants ta end this fight all thee sooner. Dies gobbo!" Rezak shouts slicing at the hobgoblin with his dagger.

[sblock=ooc] Nothing personal still want to play the Spock/Bones relationship if you are up for it jkason? [/sblock]

A chuckle seems to work its way into Barek's song, which suddenly drifts to talk of soulless fighters robbed of the song in their heart that makes a true warrior. And as Kynar swings true, Barek's song ends, notes hanging in the air just a few moments before the tunnel swallows them up.

[sblock=OOC]No problem here. Barek's a good-natured sort, so he'd probably be as oblivious and unoffended as Spock. He just laughs more. [/sblock]

 

[kinem]

ooc: Will anyone try to save the bleeding hobgoblins?

"Thank you" the other two men say, looking a bit dazed.

The first man explains to Celythia "We came to the city looking for work. Some men tricked us, and sold us to the monsters as slaves. They made us dig looking for raw diamonds, which for some reason they thought were buried in the ground here. We never found none though."

 

[HolyMan]

"Dame-ins?" Rezak asks, "Truly days be 'ere?" The thief ignores the bleeding hobgoblin as he starts scanning the walls, floor and ceiling for anything that sparkles.

[sblock=jkason] Kool this will be fun [/sblock]
