[Gobtales] Nightwatch

[Mirth]

"Good eve to you, sir" D'Bruuhl calls out in common to the fisherman, perhaps a bit too loudly and eagerly. "Those haddock smell wonderful."

 

[dreamthief]

The fisherman mumbles, "Smell wonderful? Pah it's rotted! Only good fer orcfeed!" He continues on his way, his expression irritated.

The five of you continue down the route for five more minutes, dreaming of a nice breakfast, when you see an odd sight. There's a wagon in front of you and you can make out four man-sized figures dressed in robes, and another man being dragged on the ground towards the wagon by one of the robed figures. They don't seem to have noticed you. They are talking in low whispers.

 

[Mirth]

D'Bruuhl starts to call out to the robed figures to see if they need help, but catches himself...

He whispers [goblin], "They shouldn't be out at this time of morning, should they? What should we do?" [/goblin]

D'Bruuhl glances to Ashgyad for an answer.

OOC: I interpret D'Bruuhl's low Int (8) and high Wis (16) as a certain naivete and blind trust.

 

[Dog Faced God]

[hushed Goblin]"These talls drink too much. Help load 'em wagon up. No?" [/hushed Goblin]

Goubido moves to try to get a closer look at the guy being dragged along on the ground.

OOC: Goubido's low INT (8) and WIS (8) make him pretty stupid. We'll just have to pretend he has a good personality with a CHA of 13 . Feel free to stop Goubido if you think he's doing something egregious.

 

[garyh]

[Whispered in Goblin] "This isn't normal, even for humans. They're up to something shady... Well, we're out here to prevent that sort of thing. Why don't we apprach them, spread out, and you can ask them what their up to, D'Bruuhl? Make sure they realize we're all official-like."

OOC: High Int (16) gives Ashgyad quick reasoning skills and his Wis (12) gives some common skills. Just don't let him be the face (Cha 6).

 

[Dalamar]

Glorath looks around, always suspicious.
(in hushed goblin)"I could try to sneak in, I'm pretty good at it. This might be the ambush the fisherman told them to prepare."

 

[garyh]

[Still whispering Goblin]

"If that's what we decide to do, I can distract them."

Ashgyad begins to think of ideas for Ghost Sound, and suggests...

"The sound of four human guards coming from another direction could help you sneak in unnoticed, Glorath."

 

[Mirth]

D'Bruuhl whispers [goblin] "If we are to gain respect than we can't go sneaking around ... at least not all of us. The rest of you fan out in the shadows and watch my back. I'm going to confront these gentlemen." [/goblin]

D'Bruuhl steps up into the half-light. [common] "Excuse me, I am a member of the Night Watch" D'Bruuhl shows is badge with one hand while making sure that his short sword is ready to draw with the other. "And I'd like to know what is going on here." [/common]

 

[Dalamar]

As D'Bruuhl moves in to chat with the group, Glorath gets deeper to the shadows and stays as quiet as he can.
He tries to get as close as possible without getting noticed and then take aim at the most dangerous looking stranger.

OoC: Move Silently and Hide both at +10

 

[garyh]

Ashgyad also slinks as close as possible, while still remaining hidden. He has his loaded crossbow at the ready, but is also fingering a pinch of fine sand from his spell component pouch...

OOC: Move Silently and Hide are both +7. And that's with no ranks!! The beauty (such as it is) of Goblins.
