From Citadel to Bastion: The Sunless Citadel

[GruTheWanderer]

As you approach the door, snores are audible from this room. Looking inside, you see sixteen small pallets woven of matted hair and fur. Two pallets currently hold sleeping goblins.

 

[GruTheWanderer]

Letting the sleeping dogs, er... goblins lie, you move on to the next door to the south. Peering inside, you see two goblins monitoring the health of a dire rat, which is strapped spread-eagled onto a wooden bench. The rat suffers from horrible tumors that look vaguely woody and fruitlike.

A fancy crystal vial sits on a stand in the corner.

Unfortunately, the noise of your approach distracts the goblins from their research. They leap to their feat and draw shortswords, calling out "intruders" in Goblin.

 

[National Acrobat]

I've got this gang says Eshand. He casts a sleep spell in the room, hoping to get all of the goblins and the rat if possible.

"Pah, rat catchin' scum", Khudaglun spits as he readies his axes. "Vermin always hangs around its own kind"
Khudaglun waits for Eshand's spell to go off before moving to engage, his ear cocked for the sounds of more Goblins and a real challenge.

 

[Catulle]

Lucas readied himself to intercept any move by the goblins at Eshand before engaging them himself, all the while keeping a tally of goblins to bedrolls. The alarm brought the sleeping goblins right back to mind. "Watch the rear! I think the sneaky approach is up..." A glance to Khudaglun, "Not that I foresee your mourning that result."

 

[GruTheWanderer]

Eshand's arcane power washes through the room, sending one goblin to the floor and the rat to sleep. The other goblin moves forward and takes a swing at Khudaglun, but misses. The dwarf and Lucas put an end to his troubles with several axe strokes.

At the same time, two goblins appear from the door across the hall. Their leather armor is on crooked, but their shortswords are ready.

 

[GruTheWanderer]

Forgot the map

 

[Catulle]

The sudden emergence of more goblins was not unexpected, if a little swifter than Lucas might have preferred. Still hemmed in, he prepared to follow Khudaglun's lead once the dwarf made the anticipated rush into a new fray.

 

[Inez Hull]

Khudaglun grunts disappointedly, "Just two ay, well lets enjoy it while they last."

He then moves straight in to engage the eastern Goblin

 

[GruTheWanderer]

Hi All,

Due to the low response rate, I am planning on closing this game. I apologize if my own recent delays have caused anyone to lose interest.

I appreciate the time and effort you spent developing characters and roleplaying. Catulle, Inez, I am particularly impressed by your active participation.

Thanks for playing, and I hope to see you around the boards.

Sincerely,
Derek "GruTheWanderer" Poppink
