Darkness Under Cold Stones

[Rhun]

"Then let us be off. Tarrying about here only keeps us from our goal."

 

[Voadam]

Thoma nods to Balund, gets up and leaves, ready to go hunt down the hobgoblin legion.

 

[Land Outcast]

"Godspeed" A blessing and a smile

-------------------------------------------

When you are leaving, the hobgoblin sitting on the empty wagon just stares at your group.
"You still need a guide"

OOC:

note: the mace is masterwork

note2: so... are you taking Shoon's horse? the wagon? the hobgoblin?

 

[Dire Lemming]

OOC: Re: Note Two: Probably a good idea to take all of them, we need Shine to pull the wagon which we need to cary the food, and we need the hobgoblin to lead us to the cave. We should also probably ask him a few more questions while we have the chance, like what the heck he and his compatriates are doing up here in the first place.

 

[Land Outcast]

OOC:

1) Unless anyone voices otherwise by tomorrow, I'll take that as having been the choice

2) So Thoma keeps carrying around the weapons of the guards and hobgoblins? (just for me to know)

 

[Land Outcast]

Taking the hobgoblin with you again, after some time of travel, dusk is approaching when you arrive to the ambush site... your uncovered skin feels the cold of the approaching darkness, even the pyre has somehow been quenched and a small layer of snow has covered the charred bodies.

Shoon's cart and the blood of spilled during the fight is all that remains here, likewise covered with some snow.

The hobgoblin descends from the wagon, and states "we have to continue on foot"

OOC: feel free to ask -as DL suggested- anything to the hobgoblin (not promising answers tough), and discuss what you are doing now.

 

[Dire Lemming]

OOC: Heh, uh I just realized that I gave you guys my rope to tie up the hobgoblin even though I have manicles... oops. I thought we were having Thoma bring the cart back to town.

Unfortunately Shoon is quite unintimidating so I doubt any interogation I try will be of much use. Besides, he's already scared of Thoma.

"I suggest that we ask about sentries and defenses. The first thing that we see that even hints he might have played us false will see a blade across his throat."

 

[Rhun]

Balund leads the group back to the tracks that he originally found in the snow. Turning to regard the hobgoblin, he addresses the manacled goblinoid. "You will lead us from here. If I note any deception, or if you attempt to flee, you shall find my arrow and Thoma's blade waiting. Perhaps if you aid us well, though, you will find yourself rewarded."



OOC: Diplomacy +5 to try to get more aid from the hobgoblin.

 

[hafrogman]

Ivan descends from the wagon and looks around and the cold aftermath of their battle.

"It's getting dark. How far is this place?"
