[Eberron] The Forgotten Forge

[MadMaxim]

Gannon walks back to Plonk and Flawed with a smile on his face. "Well, the goblin needed to be convinced with a bit of gold, but we now have a guide for our little trip into the sewers." He looks at the stranger they're talking to. "Who's this person?" he asks.

 

[Ashy]

Rawhide looks up from where he sits in the muck and the dirt. He makes the "Gannon-face" and speaks through his distended jaw. "Yous reeedy ta go now, boss?"

 

[Old Fezziwig]

Vincennes offers his hand to Rawhide and Gannon. "I'm Vincennes. Plonk has asked me to bring you down beneath Dorasharn and through the sewers." He looks to Jobling and grins widely. "Well, hello, Jobling. Coming with us?"

Jobling scowls, but holds his tongue.

 

[Krug]

Plonk looks at the others with a My guide is better than your guide expression. "You hired a goblin? Did you give him a poisoned dagger as well so he can stick us when we sleep?"

 

[Ashy]

Rawhide, his face still frozen in the "Gannon-face" nods to Vincennes, but he bursts out laughing at Plonk's statement.

"BWAAAHAHAHAHAAHA!!"

 

[Old Fezziwig]

Jobling turns to Plonk, furious. "If I wanted to kill you, I'd kill you now." He starts towards you, but freezes and shrinks back towards Gannon when Rawhide starts laughing.

 

[Krug]

"All right gob, go back to your sewer hole. We have a guide already. I'm sure he'll be a far better guide and we might actually not be led to the maw of some dark horror," says Plonk. "If you paid him anything, get it back," continues the gnome.

 

[Old Fezziwig]

Jobling laughs mirthlessly at Plonk. "You didn't hire me. He did," he points at Gannon. "You've got a pretty good opinion of yourself for a gnome."

Plonk:

Spoiler

Vincennes, who has been listening to the conversation with interest, quietly says the following to Plonk while Jobling speaks. "We could always use another person down there. It's far from safe. A trapspringer could be useful." There's no mistaking what he means by "trapspringer."

Everyone: Vincennes smiles when the goblin finishes speaking. "We've worked together before, haven't we, Jobling? I think the sewers are big enough for all of us. Safety in numbers, right?"

 

[Krug]

Plonk grinds his teeth. "Yes, safety in numbers indeed. Well lets be off! And you, greenskin, stay in front!" He looks at the others to see if they've finished their junk shopping.

 

[MadMaxim]

"Well, let's get going people," Gannon says to the rest of the group.
