Thrang Hymnir, gnome sorcerer
Thrang decides, as the goblins start to pull out and retreat, to go over and slay most of the goblins he's knocked unconscious with his magic. First he heads back near the goblins, finding a good spot to keep an eye on the bunch, and draws his dagger, dropping the crossbow.
He'll slit one goblin's throat as best he can with his scrawny gnome-muscles, then ready himself to zap the remaining goblins as soon as they seem to regain consciousness. He'll then proceed to step up to each and slit its throat, getting the grim business over with.
If Thrang sees that one of them dropped a mace, morningstar, club, spear, or other weapon that's a bit heftier and better-suited to execution (by braining, slicing, or stabbing), he'll pick that up before continuing the execution, to use in place of his small dagger.
"Anyone want to come o'er and tie up a goblin for questioning? Oh, and Mallie, stay down for another minute girl, 's for your own good", Thrang calls out while he executes the goblins one-by-one. If anyone responds in the positive, he'll leave one goblin alive and just hold his dagger near its throat, threateningly, until someone comes by with a rope to tie it up.
Once the executions are finished, he'll retrieve his crossbow and sheathe his dagger. If any goblins dropped a decent weapon he'll keep that, too, and find a way to strap or sheathe or sling it over his shoulder, through his belt, or in one of his boots.
He's uneasy killing the goblins this way, but doesn't think any good will come of leaving them alive. He'd rather Mallie not see the executions, either.
[sblock]First 'round' after his shot, Thrang steps over to position himself about 5 feet from one or two of the goblins his Color Spray knocked out, then draws his dagger and drops the crossbow, though since he's short to begin with it's not going to be jarred much from the very brief fall.
After getting close, he'll ready another Color Spray, and once the goblins begin to stir he'll blast them with it to knock them unconscious again. Then he'll move into melee reach of one or two goblins. I'm not sure if Color Spray's duration of effect is supposed to be player-knowledge or not, so I'm just assuming for now that Thrang has no idea when the goblins will wake up again from his spell?
Round by round after that, a coup de grace with his dagger, or whatever scavenged goblin weapon he picks up instead of his dagger. If someone comes by to tie up a goblin, he'll be holding his dagger to its throat and ready to attack if it tries to escape or strike him before the ally can tie up the goblin.[/sblock]
