[QUOTE="JesterPoet, post: 9274, member: 138"] Not necessarily the approach I would have taken not knowing what was on the other side, but it proved effective. As soon as Gigantor entered the room I heard strained chatter in Goblin, as well as some broken common saying, “Big human, you save us. Much silver. Chief give big reward.” Needless to say I did not feel this was something Banf could handle on his own. Because I figured I would gain more information by speaking to these foul creatures in their own language I began speaking Goblin to the talkative one. “The kobolds captured us. Locked us up in here. You can set us free and lead us to the chief. He’ll give you great rewards” the goblin promised” “How long have you been in here” I asked. “A couple days, a couple weeks. I don’t know” he replied. I queried, “Why should I let you go? What purpose would that serve?” “You will get much treasure in reward” he promised again. I asked my companions to leave the room for a moment, and they surprisingly did. I pushed what was left of the door back into place and then pulled out my dagger and my bottle of ink. I dipped the dagger in the ink and showed it to the Goblin. “One drop of this poison and you’ll be dead within hours,” I said to him. “I’m going to set you free from this room, but you will remain chained and I will stay with you. If you try anything, I will stab you and poison you. I promise you that, and my promise is more reliable than that of your kind” I warned. He nodded and I went back outside and told the others I thought we should let him go, but keep him chained up with us. Gigantor went into the room and tried to pull the chain out of the wall, but couldn’t. Then the cleric and the elf told me they didn’t think we should let him go just yet. “What the hell is your name?” I asked the cleric. She looked at me quizzically and replied “Ellywick” to which I nodded and went on talking. “What do you two propose we do then?” Ellywick and Ian suggested that we search some more before letting this guy go. “What do you think” I asked Banf. “I dunno” he replied. No surprise there I guess. I went back in to the prison and told the goblins to be quiet and that we’d be back for them. They seemed to listen as they hushed up when I shut the door. [/QUOTE]
