Not With a Bang, I: Its Own Reward

[Manzanita]

Arkan

"It looks like our element of surprise has ended. I suggest we regroup, take a defensive position & search these bodies. Earlier, one of the goblins had healing potions. Tuli, perhaps you would go back & check the bodies behind us."

Arkan will then sheath her weapons and begin searching the bodies, starting with the 'wizard,' assuming the others will brace for attack. Otherwise, she will cover one corridor with her longbow.

Grunlor

"It looks like our element of surprise has ended. I suggest we regroup, take a defensive position & search these bodies. Earlier, one of the goblins had healing potions. Tuli, perhaps you would go back & check the bodies behind us."

"I agree. We should drop back to the edge of the hallway here where it meets the 'T'. That is more easily defended and we can take cover."

"Or, we could just charge down one of these corridors. I suggest the left. My pappy said 'When given a choice, always go left. Or down. But left is good.'"

Grunlor gets ready to act as the vanguard down the left corridor. "Telenn, by your grace and light, shine on us your favor and allow us to defeat these enemies of good."

"Looting the corpses is a good idea, but we can't wait forever", Baril says with a stern look. "Every minute we give them to regroup will make our mission to retrieve a certain precious jewel that much harder. Remember, this is their home turf, I'm not certain they are in any hurry to attack us. I say we must make the first move and it can't wait too long."

"I agree with Baril," Brevin says. "Let's keep moving, and take the action to the enemy. They are likely to just stay put and wait for us to come so we might as well get moving and get it over with, although I am not going to be much more good for healing spells. I'm all but tapped out." Brevin hefts his mace and prepares to move on.

Grunlor

"Let's move then. By Telenn's Light!", shouts Grunlor. He then looks behind him and says somewhat sheepishly, "what? It's not like the gobblers don't know we're here."

(OOC: Laz, can you give an update on the hp status? I'm pretty sure Grunlor was hit earlier, but don't see it now. Thx.)

 

[Manzanita]

Arkan

"I've been hit several times; I'd like to see if we can find some more healing potions. If you don't think the Goblins will attack, I don't see what the hurry is to move against them. But if you want to advance, I'll just take a rear position and try to use my bow."

OOC: Arkan will search the shamen's body, at least, before moving on with the rest.

 

[Casar Couer De' Lion]

"Aye we need to be movin on, the goblins have numbers and familiarity, but we be havin more than half a brain to use against em. Let's see if we can cause a distraction and send them down the wrong path."

Nojin begins to gather some small rocks that may be laying around, as well as any metal that may be on the goblins.

Sam: Heh, good thing you called for an HP check. For those who haven't been keeping track:

Nojin: 12/14
Grunlor: 3/12
Tuli: 4/6
Brevin: 10/10
Arkan: 5/9
Grinder: 7/7
Baril: 7/7

Even if you guys keep moving, Grunlor will want to down one or maybe two healing potions before you move. Also, I'll assume Arkan has at least one round (during discussions) to search the body of the mage. She finds:

140 gp, 200 sp;
A pouchful of spell components;
One scroll (ghost sound and grease, both CL 1) [Grinder Spellcraft check 15+7=22];
One potion of CLW.

Also, there seems to be little consensus on whether moving on is the best idea, so I'm holding back on your movement until that happens--consider one round to have gone by in discussions so far.

Arkan

"Here you go, Grunlor," says Arkan, handing him the healing potion, "drink this. I've got one more, too, if anyone else needs it more than I do."

Arkan proceeds to search another body, as Nojin prepares his distraction.

Grinder finishes his cursory inspection of the scroll Arkan found on the dead goblin caster. "Hmmm...mind if I hang on to this? Would be nice to use their own magic against these vermin." With that, he spits on the fallen caster.

"I'm all for takin' the fight to them," he says, noting that most of the group appears to be in reasonably good shape thus far. "No sense letting them have too much time to get organized."
