IG's SoW: Rescue at Rivenroar

[The Digger]

"My sword is at your command" the tiny paladin drew himself up to his full 4' 3" and clasped his hand on the hilt of his sword,

"I agree entirely with master Brega, we cannot leave anyone, let alone childrenb, in the hands of those greenskin demons." His voice was husky as he remembered his own childhood and the Storm of the Red Hand.

"Lead us to this prisoner. He shall talk before he suffers for his crimes."

 

[stonegod]

Jormund nodded solemnly. He seemed out of place, so said little as the others readied themselves to the interrogation.

Troyas directs you to the village green where the captured hobgoblin from last night is locked up in stocks and shackles. His wounds from last night's battle have been bandaged, but a number of tomatoes on the ground near him and on the surface of the stocks indicate that his treatment hasn't been completely kind. Two guards approach, well out of earshot of the hobgoblin.

"Aye," the first says. "Troyas told us t'be expectin' ye. 'Luck talkin' to this one, he don't say much. Just 'member that we need 'im healthy 'n well treated fer trial. 'Sides, we don't want any mobs takin' after yer lead."

"Goblins are just cowards anyway," the second says. "If you go breaking fingers and things they'll say anything to get the pain to stop, and you'll just end up with a bunch of lies.

"Morrik's the name, or so he says. He's all yours."

[sblock=Intentions]Peregrine intends to wipe away the tomatoes from the hobgoblin, treat his wounds if necessary and use Diplomacy to speak gently to him.[/sblock]

Jormund assesses the situation.[sblock=OOC]Init: 16

Plans: Jormund is not a talker, so will likely use History (or assist one who has more background [the +2 bonus] or make a one time Insight check depending how things are pulling out.[/sblock]

Aliyas' eyes narrow slightly as she watches the hobgoblin, and she tries to get a sense for its moods.

Brega takes his time letting the others go first. His bumbled attempts at offering apologies do little to help Peregrine.

Peregrine cleaned up some of the wounds and gave the hoblin a drink of water.

"Looks like you'll live, old son. But I don't fancy your chances in a local court. I think your best chance is to tell us what you were trying to do and I'll put in a good word for you."

He stood close and whispered in the prisoner's ear.

"I can understand you trying to burn the town down but what possible use could you have with a few trinkets from the great hall. And what's worse you kidnapped a child! That's really going to put their backs up. You're in real trouble and we're the only ones who can help you - but you need to help us first."

Morrik snarls as you approach. "I ain't sayin' nothin' unless you people let me go."

Peregrine cleaned up some of the wounds and gave the hoblin a drink of water.

The hobgoblin flinches as the halfling dabs at his wounds, but soon settles and lets the paladin do his work. He tries desperately to refuse the water, but gives in to that as well, and after Peregrine's speech he looks totally defeated, but still says nothing.

Brega takes his time letting the others go first. His bumbled attempts at offering apologies do little to help Peregrine.

Thankfully the halfling is doing a marvelous job on his own at this point.

Success 1/6; Failure 0/3

Shayuri, you can use that roll for whatever it is you decide to do, but since Peregrine has already gained a success, there's no need to aid in his roll. You can aid Jormund, or let Jormund aid you in hopes for another success for this round, or you can each roll individually for a chance at two more successes. To be honest, whatever skill you decide to put that roll towards will be a success on its own, so is there really a point in using it to aid someone else?

Has anyone heard from Mr. Gorak?
