IndyPendant's Sunless Citadel

"Lekho, Ydir, get ready to cover the door. Heirmund ask the goblin about the dragon and what exactly is on the other side of the door. Terrek, guard."

Lehko drops the goblin back to it's feet. He points at Heirimund and says, "You speak to him now." With that he turns and takes a place by the door, across the pit. He cracks his neck and pops his fingers,and begins the movements indicitive of a spell. "As you say, Fearless Leader," he speaks lowly, with only the slightest hint of sarcasm.

((Position directly accross the pit from the door, something that will give me a good line of sight should it burst open. And soon as anything does go down, I'm a gonna let whatever isn't being shot by Jerek or punched/slapped/kicked or otherwise impacted by Ydir get fried by Electric Jolt.))
 

Ydyr moves forwards towards the door and cocks his head at an angle.

[[Listen at (or near) the door. If the door opens with an angry dragon, I will drop into the pit, rather than engage, immediately.]]
 



Meepo falls instantly silent as the swordpoint is thrust towards his throat--just in time for the goblins in the pit to begin yelling. Apparently, they're now conscious, but blind, clawing at their eyes with the pads of their fingers, wailing in terror.

The wounded goblin looks down at his companions nervously and replies to Heirmund in his language, "Please, we must be quick about this. If they see me talking to you, they will kill me. That room there belongs to Calcryx the dragon. He insisted on his own room when he joined us. He is our ally now. He hated being kept in a caHURKH!"

Kuma and the others had moved to watch the door, now that Meepo was under control, leaving only Heirmund and Jair to interrogate the goblin. Meepo has drawn his shortsword and thrust it directly into the goblin's chest from behind, killing him instantly, snarling "YOU LIE! YOU VILE LYING GOBLIN! Calcryx not do that! Calcryx to be god! Calcryx not leave! Meepo show what happens to lying goblin!" He is literally spraying flecks of spit as he raves, the scars covering his body actually swelling slightly with his tension.

Between the goblins in the pit and Meepo, Ydyr figures there could be an entire army on the other side of that door, and he wouldn't have a clue.
 


Jerek rolls his eyes and growls in frustration at Meepo's actions. "Meepo, I'm about 10 seconds from turning you into rotisserie kobold," he says. Not pausing to see if Meepo understands his words, he moves to the edge of the pit and points his bow downward. "You lot shut up," he says. "I don't speak Goblin but I think you get the point." He then crouches down and looks at the edges of the pit.

[OOC: Trying to see if there's any way to re-set the trap door and jam it so we can cross safely.

Between the goblins in the pit, and Meepo's sudden hissy-fit, Kuma can't help but start a low, rumbling chuckle from deep in his chest.

"I told you we should have killed them," he says amusedly. "Even the kobold knows better than to leave an enemy alive at your back."
 

The trap was nothing more than a standard pit, skillfully concealed with a net of branches and rags, which were then covered with dirt and rubble to resemble the rest of the citadel's flooring. There is no mechanism to reset.

The goblins all stop yelling almost exactly on the beat of Jerek's "point", and everyone holds their breath for a moment in the sudden silence. Jerek sees that the goblins are now gazing up at him, fear and loathing on their faces; if that old saw about looks being lethal were true, there'd be nothing left of him but dust right now.

Meepo looks around him, and grows alarmed. "What you do? Wait! What you do? You make nice now! You make deal Yusdrayl! Bring back Calcryx, we not kill you! What all this, with weapons? You kill Calcryx, Yusdrayl kill you!"
