[IC] Eberron: The Plumbers

[Leatherhead]

Rotom picks up a shield off of one of the fallen goblins and gives it a try. "Just the right balance..."

Having her name called out suddenly throws the artificer off for moment. "Unicorn? Oh, Yes!" The young kobold scrambles past the pit into the shack, where the sight stops her cold. Not knowing what to say, the artificer tinkers with the stuffed doll a bit, making it glow with the colors of the unicorns from the estate before approaching the scion and placing it before him.

"Come, boy, you safe now," Korra repeats.

 

[JustinCase]

Ogham moves up to the boy, but when he notices most of companions doing the same, he holds back. Instead, he starts towards the deactivated warforged; examining their injuries, trying to ascertain the cause of death, and like the pragmatic soldier he still is, to scavenge the bodies for valuables and replacement parts.

[Olrox17]

Liutbrand notices Ogham looking at the destroyed warforged. Is destroyed the right term, or would it be more appropriate to say "dead"? Probably not the right time to ask. He takes a few steps, standing on the side of his warforged companion "Well, dammit. Do you think any one of them could still be, uh, alive?"

OOC: Liutbrand also takes a look at the various warforged bodies Perception check: 1D20+5+1D4 = [10]+5+[2] = 17

In the shed

Caden doesn’t really move in response to the Plumbers. He simply stares into the middle distance, sobbing occasionally, manacled to the wall of the shed.

The boy needs food and water, rest, and his father.

You can make a Persuasion check at Advantage for the unicorn.

Excavation pit

Ogham and Liutbrand walk to the edge of the pit and study the warforged below. Only one of the warforged is dead, the one with its head cut off -- probably the friend Coal told them about. The other eleven sit listlessly, looking up at the Plumbers, wondering just what was to happen to them, their chains rattling occasionally as they shifted.

"Report," Ogham uses the straightforward soldier lingo to inquire about the situation from his fellow warforged, addressing all eleven living warforged at the same time or, if no response comes, one in particular.

One of the warforged blinked and looked up at Ogham. “We’re workers,” he said simply. “We dig wherever they tell us to dig. If we don’t…” He nodded meaningfully toward the beheaded warforged body lying in the pit.

[mfloyd3]

Alara looks at the kobold and the half-orc, both of whose maternal instincts seemed better attuned to the human child than her own. She felt desperately out of her element, but tried again.

"Listen, Caden," she offers, a warm but firm urgency in her voice. "Your father needs you. Your House needs you. You need to be strong for them. Let us bring you home to them."

She nods to Rotom, then gestures to the locked manacles. "Can you do something about those?"

"Who hired you?" Ogham asks, putting more words together than he has in a long time. Then he sees if he can mend the worst of the damage the various warforged have sustained.

OOC: Medicine: 1D20+3 = [15]+3 = 18

 

[Leatherhead]

Rotom nods her head and gets to work unshackling the boy. Unfortunately, she fumbles a bit.

"DePoe, could you lend a hand?"
