Of Sound Mind III

[Zhure]

Gholog

Gholog moves back as silently as possible to the western dead-end near the door the voice is coming from and begin searching for any signs of another door.

Take 10 on move silent, Total = 11. I'm assuming that's "west." it's on the left. Take 20 on Search, total = 21

At least this way we'll have a secure position...

 

[Jarval]

Gholog moves down along the western tunnel, checking carefully for hidden doorways. The sides of the tunnel still bear the pick marks of the miners, but the half-orc can find no signs of any portals.

Gholog

Gholog quietly waits at the entryway to the dead-end tunnel entrance until everyone else decides what they're doing about the door.

 

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Kerrick Jonez

"That's not a very nice thing to do to someone that gives so much. We're travelers, not from around here, you know."

Kerrick pauses, for a second and wipes the bead of sweat from his forehead. "We've actually been hired to do a job, but i was thinking. Maybe if we helped you with the goblins, you might help us with our job."

 

[Jarval]

"Perhapsss, if you kill the goblinsss, I will help you. What isss your tassssk?" The voice sounds calmer now, and a little curious.

 

[Acmite]

"Perhapsss, if you kill the goblinsss, I will help you. What isss your tassssk?" The voice sounds calmer now, and a little curious.

Adren will move towards the door and say, in a quite but clear voice, "I bear no love for goblins, but I also do not crave unnecessary violence. If these creatures have wronged you, I'm willing to help you--but I would need to know the face of the creature I'm helping.

How long have the goblins been here, harassing you? Have you done anything to provoke them, even unintentionally?"

Adren will take a short step back and wait for the creature's response while scanning his environs for any sign of attack.

I'm back! Thanks for the autopilot, Jarval!

 

[Jarval]

No problem Acmite, glad to have you back


"Three weeksss ago, the goblinsss came. They crept into our mine, yesss, and killed nearly all that remained of my tribe. A few of my warriors still lived, but then humansss and elvesss from the town came and killed the ressst, yesss. I am all that is left." The voice replies to Adren.

"We did nothing to the goblinsss or the humansss, but still they killed us. I do not care if you kill the goblinsss, or drive them away, but they killed my people, ssso why sssshould they not try to kill you?"

"You may enter, and ssspeak with me face to face. But do not attack me, for I have guardian. Take the passssssage to the right, and follow it, but do not turn from itssss path. You will find me at itsss end, in Hisss ssshrine."

You hear the sound of something heavy being pulled back from the door, followed by the sound of running feet.

Kerrick Jonez

"Well, i guess we may as well meet him. After all you only live once." Kerrick grins and waits for the rest to voice opinions.

 

[Acmite]

I agree, Kerrick. He's done nothing to suggest he's a threat, so I say we give him a chance. And, I must say, he's got me quite curious as to what manner of creature he is.

Jason Master

Jason unstrings his bow and returns the arrow in his hand to his quiver. "I trust him...but then again I tend to trust people too easily," he says, smiling. "Let's go."
