Knightmares of Khorvaire

Kolarred and Luthal both see the waiter try and make a break for it, and without missing a beat the two of them leap on him and try to grab him.

Grapple Attempt - Kolarred (Luthal Aid Another)
Erreaminin ((No AoO - Unarmed))
Kolarred ((Grab - Melee Touch Attack [14] + 7 + 2 (aid) = 23)) *HIT*
Kolarred ((Hold - Opposed Grapple Check [10] + 7 = 17))
Erreaminin ((Opposed Grapple Check [11] + 3 = 14))

Luthal's beefy gnoll arms wrap tightly around the midsection of the waiter, while Kolarred grabs and locks up the arm that holds the small vial, prohibiting Erreaminin from upstoppering it nor bringing it to his lips. Erreaminin struggles, but is unable to escape.

'YOU'LL NEVER GET AWAY! THIS IS THE END! YOU'RE ALL DOOMED! DO WITH ME WHAT YOU WILL, BUT IT'LL BE THE LAST FREE ACTION YOU EVER MAKE!!!'

It's right about now that Zook comes through the kitchen door having heard the commotion from within the dining room. In his hand he holds a small bloody cloth napkin that he found in the trash. His analysis of the stain makes him think that it was used for wiping something off.

Zook searches the kitchen with all the skill he can. By the wound he have in the back there must be more blood than those tiny spots.... maybe it has been cleaned up? Zook sees the trash can and finds a small bloody cloth napkin. This must be a good lead or at least a good evidence. He takes the napkin by a corner when he hears the struggling outside the kitchen door.

“Whats going on!” Do he scream. Seeing that Kolarred and Luthal tries to hold Erreaminin, he fast understand that the spell is broken and that Erreaminin is very hostile “What is that in his hand?!” since Kolarred and Luthal are busy they don't make it to answer before Zook tries to take the small vial from Erreamin's hand Sleight of Hand Roll(1d20)+5:5,+5 Total:10. He looks toward Lynx and says “Lynx cant you try to charm him again?!”
 



Unaware of the chaos a floor below, Margan phrases his question calmly. "Do we know how close the Emerald Claw are to finding what we're looking for? That is a deciding factor in choosing the course of action, it seems."
 

Marta looks at the shifter and shakes her head slowly.

'Unfortunately, no. We do not have any leads on who might be a part of the Emerald Claw or when they may have went searching for the temple. They could already be there for all we know. The only advantage we have is that we have the paperwork that Tyler now holds which give us the codes and passwords necessary to get through a number of sections, which we acquired through a member of the Blood of Vol who worked at the temple during the War. So unless the Claw have their own passwords and such, they might get stuck in various areas with no way to advance and might allow us to catch up. It would help if we could find someone associated with them that we could get information out of.'

Kolarred and Luthal hold firm on Erreaminin, the gnoll especially putting pressure across the man's forehead with his beefy forearm. Despite Erreaminin's constant struggle to escape, the two Knightmare's grips are too firm, and after about fifty seconds the man falls unconscious and drops to the floor. Zook flies in and grabs ahold of the small vial before it breaks on the floor. The group look at each other, wondering what they should do now.
 

Luthal

"Ha! That was a nice change." Luthal stepped back from the unconcious man. "I was gettin' bored with all that standing around waitin' for yous all to arrive."

Luthal grins a toothy grin."Me thinks we can figure this one killed that man in the back. He motions to Kolarred. "Whatcha want me to do wit 'im? You want me to slit his gullet open?"

Once the fate of the killer is decided, Luthal will head upstairs to inform the rest of the group about the happenings downstairs. "I think I'll go up and tell the others what happened."

Tomanta stays silent, having no questions to ask. He looks over the papers and maps given to the group, looking for the best route to their destination and spots where ambushes might be set up along the way.
 

"I don't think killing him is an option here, we aren't murderer. He might still be useful. Our employer might take care of him. Kolarred waits for the others to come back, hopping the lady that hires them can take care of him.

While he waits he makes sure to keep an eyes on the Gnoll, ready to react if he tries to attack the helpless man. "Of course killing him would be much simpler, but that would lower ourselves to his level..

Luthal shrugs, showing his indifference. "I just don't wanna see him again later. Poison ain't one of my favorite drinks."

He heads up the stairs, bounding up three steps at a time. He rushes to the door, but stops short before bursting in. I need to remember what Marta said about this, he thought. No need to scare all those folks. He knocks softly at the door.
