Gronar's sweaty back causes Ratchet to lose his meager stomach contents all over the hill giant's posterior. Combined with Ratchet's already slick clothing from Korg, causes Ratchet to constantly slide down Gronar's back. "Little doll man have to hold tighter on Gronar.""Maybe you should just let me walk?" "No Korg say you have to keep Gronar alive, so Gronar not put you down where stink troll can step on doll man." "Well there is no chance in Gehenna that I'm going to tether myself to your back hair.""Doll man grab Gronar ears." Gronar shoves Ratchet up onto his shoulders, Ratchet sighs and grabs the top of Gronar's ears in defeat. The gnome now stands upon  the back of Gronar's neck with a hand on the top of each ear. Gronar turns a corner and is faced with a short hallway, two doors line the north side one on the south and one at the end of the hallway. Gronar walks up to the first door and grabs the handle."Wait! Don't you think we ought to listen to the door first? What if we're walking into a trap?" Ratchet informs Gronar"Ok, but Gronar going to kill whatever behind door anyway."Gronar leans against the door, pinning Ratchet between his ear and the door."Gronar hear heavy breathing and someone say get off of me." "That was me you idiot, your head crushed me against the door.""Oh, well then Gronar not hearing anything." The giant grabs the handle and pushes the door open must to Ratchet's protests.The door creaks open and a small room appears beyond the door, a straw bed contains the sleeping form of a troll. Gronar twists his body into the room and holds the tip of his blade near the troll's heart, he then uses his other hand to steady the troll's body. The troll opens his eyes, just as Gronar's blade tears him in two.Gronar exits the room as the rest of the party turns the corner and enters the hallway. "Gronar, sticky lady plan not working." Korg says"Gronar fix problem, doll man hold onto ears.""Lady climb up Korg like lawn ornament and hold onto Korg ears." "I don't think that's good idea." Sillaqui replies in infernal"Lady don't make Korg angry, Lady wouldn't like Gronar when Korg angry." Gronar turns around and snorts an approval to Korg.Sillaqui hobbles up Korg's neck and grabs a hold of Korg's ears."Ow, Korg need to clip Lady's nails." Paquito lines up behind Korg and taps Sillaqui on the shoulder. He mouths the words "Jump off I'll catch you" to her with a big smile and a twinkle in his eye.Lothred uses his staff to trip Omar into Paquito, who stops and turns to ask what Omar's problem is. Lothred then moves up and mouths "Jump I'll catch you" to Sillaqui."Hey!" Paquito yells while shoving Lothred, "Quit horning in on my play. No?" "What play? Everyone can see that you're neutered." Lothred repliesGronar throws open the next door along the north wall, and reveals yet another sleeping troll. Two slices later and the troll is left to pick up the pieces of it's broken life. Finrod opens the southern door, to reveal a room full of torture implements and tools. He announces his findings, which draws Lothred's attention away from Paquito as he makes his way to the room. "Nothing in here but wicked looking things and blood coated other things." Finrod tells Lothred"Yes well, all the same I think I'd like to do a search of the room. You'd be amazed at where some of the most valuable things are kept hidden.""Suit yourself, don't trip over anything though." Finrod says referencing the tool covered floor.Finrod waits until Finrod is a good distance down the hall and enters the room, opening up a sack off his back, the teifling proceeds to load up on the instruments within the room. After securing at least one of each item, Lothred meets up with the rest of the party in front of the door at the end of the hallway."Collecting some personal hygiene items. No?""Nah, Sillaqui and I are going to play tell me the location of your rebel base tonight, I was just making sure I would be showing up prepared." Lothred answersEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!A scream rips through the hallway from behind the last door, the party quickly shuffles it's order before Gronar kicks the door in.Two trolls stand near an open coal forge at the back of the room, one holds a set of tongs with a angry red burning coal in it's grasp. The other is wielding a leg from a wooden table. The scream is coming from an iron maiden along the north wall, which is being attended to by two goblins. There is also a rack sitting in the middle of the floor in the southern half of the room. Gronar rushes in and jabs at the club wielding troll, but misses. Lothred sends a compelling command at the tongs wielding troll, and it immediately drops to the floor and lays motionless. "Good trick Elfy, you show Korg that spell?""I am not an Elfy, and you could not possibly understand the depths I go in order to wield my magic.""Korg can nurture that." comes the hill giant's replyKorg then rushes the two goblins and halves each of them a split second after them empty their bladder from witnessing the giant's charge. Finrod rushes the upright troll and dodges it's swing while slicing a nasty cut underneath it's left armpit. Gronar and Korg team up to finish off the two trolls and Lothred swings open the iron maiden. A bloody and multi-punctured goblin flops out onto the floor from the torture device. Korg reaches back and sends just enough curative magic to stop the goblin's bleeding. "Why goblin in there?" Gronar asks"I failed to do my job." The weakened goblin replies"Well, that's all I need to hear, throw him back in there. I can't stand failures." Lothred advises"What goblin not do?" Gronar asks, ignoring Lothred's comment."I was late showing up for guard duty for the prison warden." The goblin answers"Arrgh! That's even worse now he's got time management issues, put him back in the maiden." Lothred interrupts"Where warden now?" Gronar asks"He's sleeping in his room off the hallway outside this room." Replies the goblinGiggles ring out from the party"Gronar positive, warden not mad anymore." "You talked to him? He's going to let me go back on duty?" "Gronar not sure about that, but warden is not mad anymore." The ecstatic goblin smiles ignorantly, while the part breaks up to search the room. Lothred finds a hinge on the rack and informs the giants that it appears the rack could be tilted over revealing a space beneath it."Hey, snotling? What down there?" Gronar asks the goblin"I don't know, I've never been in this room before today." The goblin answersGronar shoves on the rack and it lifts up to reveal a ladder descending into darkness."What are we going to do about that?" Finrod points at the goblin"I'll take care of it, you guys go ahead, I'll catch up." Lothred repliesLothred waits until just he and Paquito are left in the room."Stick out your tongue." Lothred commands the goblinThe goblin hesitantly sticks out his tongue and Lothred grabs it with a set of spiked pliers. The goblin tries to pull away but the spikes hold quickly stop it's protests. Lothred then takes out a knife and cuts it's tongue out, then shoves the goblin back where they found it. It's garbled cries of pain quickly fade as the blood begins to pool again at the base of the iron maiden."I like the way you think. No?" Paquito tells Lothred"He was dead either way, at least this way he won't be telling anyone about us." Lothred answers"Do you do any contracting work? I might have need of your unique style. No?" "I'll only agree to that, if I'm ever in need of a big stinking pile of bull chips. Otherwise just stay out of my way."</blockquote>
