[LPF] Rescue at Boar's Ridge

[Qik]

Mesem seems to be growing annoyed by the philosophical debate. "I for one am not intending to lie to this creature, nor am I intending on letting him go, at least not until we have dealt with his master. And for that matter, I have made no claims to be on the side of good or evil - I am here to help the one who has hired us, and to test and grow my martial skills in doing so. Now, will someone help me awaken and communicate with this creature before I kill him just to end this discussion?"

[sblock=OOC]Don't mind me - Mesem's just getting a bit cranky. [/sblock]

"Look, we -can't- let him go and I wouldn't let him tied to starve here. That would certainly be too cruel. I wouldn't wish that for anybody. So, if you find another way to stop him from getting to his friends and try to get back at us, I'm all ears." Galandra shrugged. "Otherwise, a quick painless death is the only other option I can see."

She will poke the goblin to wake him up.

The rest of the party make their way back up stairs to deal with the one unlucky goblin. That is, except for Dolgrin, who is left all alone at the bottom of the stairwell. This goblin was struck hard enough previously that it is not simply asleep. It was severely wounded before being stabilized, and will need days of rest before he regains consciousness unless some one invokes some divine power.

[sblock=ooc]He is at -6 HP and stable. It is going to require some healing spells cast to wake him back up, not poking with a dagger.
Moral dilemmas are so much fun.[/sblock]

"Remember, nighteyes, no heroics? Give us a shout if you see anything," Ru says with a reassuring pat to Dolgrin's shoulder on the way upstairs.

Once there, he squats next to the goblin, biting his lip as he assesses him. After a nudge with his nunchaku, Ru sighs.

"Okay, goggles, looks like we're going to need that fancy stick of yours if we want to ask the sleeping princess anything," he says to Reianne as he stands.

"Easy. We can knock him out again, tie him up. Finish the mission. Then come back and cart him back to town, hand him to the authorities."

 

[soulnova]

Hand him over to authorities? Galandra frowned confused at Menik. It was getting clearer now that the "city-folk" had other ways to do stuff. Back home, no one would have said a word against giving the goblin a quick merciful dead. She shook her head but said nothing else. He sure liked to complicate things. "Whatever. Do as you wish."

She moved by the stairs so she would hear Dolgrin if he called, while keeping and eye on the interrogation.

Wonder when the others are going to get back? Dolgrin wonders as he paces around the room next to the wounded goblin. "<What do you think, Gobbie?>" he says aloud in Dwarven to the injured creature on the ground. He continues his pacing around, axe trailing the ground, scraping the stone floor.

 

[hemera]

"Mmhmm, mmhmm." Reianne nods. "Leaving him to die here would be pointlessly cruel, so I'm fine with dragging the little bugger along to face justice. As for lying to him, well he did try to kill us a short while ago remember?"

As she touches the wand to the goblin but before speaking the activation phrase, she also mutters "Besides, you kill him and it's just one more skeleton."

After discharging the wand, she casts a quick charm spell and waits to see if it takes effect.

Reianne heals the goblin with the wand and then smiling and talking softly, casts her spell. She seems to think it works because the confused little guy is smiling back at her. He looks down and sees the ropes that have him all tied up and is confuse, but the girl is pretty. Maybe the fact that Reianne had to bend over to do her work on the small creature giving him the opportunity to look down her blouse is making him docile and happy.

Seeing that the goblin is awake, Menik takes a deep breath. This'll be the first time he's actually spoken with a goblin, and about time too, since he went through the effort of learning their language. Which of the tales about them are true? They are nothing like elves, obviously, but are they even more barbaric than humans?

(ooc: in goblin) "Here's the situation, goblin. I am Menik. We are going to stop the necromancer. As for you, we are going to tie you up and put you in one of the rooms where no one will look. If you tell us where he is and anything else that might come in handy to defeat him, then after we deal with him we will come back and rescue you. But if you refuse to help, mislead us, or if we are defeated, then no doubt you will die of thirst.

Oh, and, uh, ahem, one more thing. You must promise not to hold a grudge. We are professionals, just like you are. Our fight with you and your late comrades was not personal. I am sorry about their deaths. What say you?"
