[LPF] Rescue at Boar's Ridge

[Qik]

"I have no intention of lying to the creature," Mesem responds to Lem, "but I would not like to see him let go, either. His decisions have already determined his death, as far as I am concerned."

Mesem kneels to inspect the bound goblin and then attempts to wake him up. He speaks an incantation to help with the process.
[sblock=OOC]We're going to need Menik up here to interrogate, unless someone else speaks goblin.

Casting Guidance. Can I heal check to try and wake him?[/sblock]

Ru Brike, human ninja

Ru points to the northern wall with the tip of his Wakizashi.

"See the seam there? this wall opens into that hallway we were in before. And with all the symmetry in the architecture..." he turns to the opposite wall, then nods. "Yup. Another one here.

"I think we've seen all we're going to see without heading further in, and I don't know about you, whitey, but I'm not keen on that without our heavies.

"Besides," he adds with a mischievous grin, noticing Lem wander up the stairs, as well. "I think we need you to translate whatever nasty threats or empty promises we're planning for our friend upstairs. So what say we make our way up?

"How about you, Gal? Had about enough of carting corpses yet?" he says to Galandra by way of invitation to join the others.

[sblock=ooc]Trying to get everyone but the guarding Dogrin back upstairs for the interrogation, where I'm sure Ru will be appalled to discover lying has been ruled out. [/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]Mesem doesn't speak goblin, and what he know can't hurt him...[/sblock]

 

[kinem]

"Good eye, Ru. Upstairs, then."

Menik heads upstairs to take part in the interrogation. "I guess I'm the one who has to deal with him. I expect we'll need to offer him something to get him to talk. Normally, that would be his life. Unless anyone has a better idea."

 

[hemera]

Reianne looks at Menik, "I'll charm him, you can do the talking. Besides you can offer whatever you want. Whether you have any intention of giving it is a different story altogether now isn't it?"

Once Mesem rouses him, Reianne starts her incantation hoping that it takes effect.

[sblock=ooc]
So hopefully third attempt at a spell actually works. Charm person here we go!

Mesem doesn't speak goblin, and what he know can't hurt him...

Sadly, neither does Ru, or I have a feeling he'd subscribe to just that philosophy re: all these folks with so many scruples. [/sblock]

 

[soulnova]

Galandra drops the last goblin corpse on the pile and tries to clean her hands on the side of her trousers. She gives a slight frown at Ru but nods. "Yeah, this is done. Let's join them upstairs..."

[kinem]

"Killing him, especially after we promise not to, would set a dangerous precedent in my opinion. As far as we know, he has done nothing wrong. He fought as hired muscle, just as we did. The only difference is that we are supposedly on the good side - yet killing a helpless prisoner would hardly be a good example of that."

 

[soulnova]

"He doesn't have to be helpless." Galandra offers to Menik. "Give him a dagger and I'll dispatch him in a fair combat... otherwise, letting him go might become troublesome in the future. I heard Goblins have a thing with grudges"

 

[kinem]

"That wouldn't be any better. And from whom did you hear this bit of knowledge - from a scholarly expert on humanoid psychology and culture, or from a drunken man at the bar boasting of his adventures?"
