"I don't think they were trying to lure us into an ambush from the start, but I think this was a spot they could rendezvous before they headed to their lair but they discovered us after our not so stealthy attempt to get closer and then they tried to ambush us" says Zharne

[SBLOCK=Zharnes Surges]
I know that you did not use any, which is why you are at 8/8. I got that number off of your character sheet. Upon further looking just now I do see that in the math section it shows 9 surges per day, but up at the top of the page it says 8. I'll fix that up on my end.

[sblock=Location & Questioning]
So where were you tying up these guys again? Was it right at the mouth of the alley or was it further back by where Raj fell at the rear of the alley?

Also if you'd like to start RPing the first lines of your questioning (I do assume you want to question these guys) or whatever it is you have planned for them please feel free to start, as it will give me something to build off of for the next update. Like I said, they will all come to after your short rest and so far all I've gotten from you is that you are tying them up.

For the next combat encounter could you please all try and have some sort of statblock / stat line in your posts indicating current hit points and available resources.
Thanks.

[sblock=Status]It's in my signature, I try to update it with every post, but it's time-stamped just in case.[/sblock]

Gellan helps the others drag their erstwhile foes to a quiet corner of the alley. Making sure their bonds are tightly secured, he pokes Wendel in the nose with his boomerang. "Hey. Time to wake, friendly one."

[sblock=ooc]The area around M-9 to N-12 looks fairly out-of-the-way. And Gellan's maybe feeling a bit cocky.[/sblock]

[sblock=Update Delays]
Sorry for the delay everyone. I have been really busy in RL. As well I have taken the time to go over the last battle action by action to recalculate the PC's current status. I like to keep the game moving and post at lease once per day, but I thought it important to go back and fix my mistakes.

[sblock=Final Post Encounter Status]
After much reading back and number crunching here is what I have deemed to be the PC status as of right now.

Gellan – HP: 27/27; HS: 7/9; AP: 0
Gloom – HP: 38/38; HS: 10/11; AP 1
Jehad – HP: 31/32; HS: 8/9; AP 1
Minharath – HP: 25/25; HS: 8/8; AP 1
Thorn – HP: 28/29; HS: 9/11; AP 1; used Comeback Strike Daily Power
Zharne – HP: 29/31; HS: 9/9; AP 1

As the heat of battle dies down and the remaining foes flee into the night you find yourselves in a dimly light alley with a number of unconscious foes at your feet.

"So, what is next?" asks Gloom asks as Gellan is already reaching into his pack and pulling out a length of rope.

Thorn nods his head in agreement,"I think we should tie these men up and question them. Perhaps in a location less...public?"

"We are away from the street. These saw fit to set an ambush here. I think this is private enough," says Gellan as he works to restrain the unconscious humans.

As this goes on Minharath puts the fallen goblin's corpse into a semblance of rest, then speaks a prayer over it for the fallen soul, under his breath.

"I don't think they were trying to lure us into an ambush from the start, but I think this was a spot they could rendezvous before they headed to their lair but they discovered us after our not so stealthy attempt to get closer and then they tried to ambush us" says Zharne.

Gellan helps the others drag their erstwhile foes to a quiet corner of the alley. Making sure their bonds are tightly secured, he pokes Wendel in the nose with his boomerang. "Hey. Time to wake, friendly one."

Wendel lets out a moan as Gellan prods him with his boomerang. Several others moans are heard as a few of the other captives begin to stir as well. Wendel raises his head and looks up at Gellan, one eye already swelling shut from the beating he just received.

"So, what now tough guy?" he asks, looking at straight a Gellan.

 

[RedBeardJim]

"So, what now tough guy?" he asks, looking straight at Gellan.

Gellan shrugs. "That depends on you. You have property that does not belong to you. We have been tasked with retrieving it. It is not required that we kill you in the retrieval, but it is not forbidden either." The halfling squats on his heels in front of the bound man, a tan'gat across his knees. An expression that could be called a smile crosses his face.

Thorn speaks quietly to his friends (...just loud enough for the bearded man to overhear).
"I don't think we have to get our hands dirty with this lot. When Wendel's boss finds out how bad he and these others have messed-up this evening's job, he'll kill him for us. Unless..."
Thorn leaves off with a long pause, waiting to see the captives reaction.

[sblock=skill check]
I'm not sure if that is an intimidate or bluff check, but Thorn has +0 in both.
1d20+0 (social skill)=20 Wow! What a time for a natural 20!

[Tomalak]

Quietly and without comment, Minharath is tending to the visible (even if not hit-point related) wounds of the combatants, starting with the captives not being addressed by his companions.

 

[DMDanW]

"OK look I don't know what yer talkin about buddy" Wendel replies. "Me and my friends 'ere were just hanging around and yer shapeshiftin friend there jumped poor Glef, spittin flies and bugs and such at em."

Wendel then glances towards Thorn as he overhears their 'private' conversation, and his confidence seems to melt away.

"Ok ok, I'll tell ya what. Hows about your friend der - da nice one in da white robes, fixes up da boys and we just pretend dat dis never happened OK? Yous can continue on yer way and me and da boys can go on ours". Wendel finishes with a weak smile on his face, a trickle of blood seeping forth from his split lip as he does.

Zharne listens to the man and studies him
