Of Sound Mind III

[Jarval]

Gholog throws his weight against the wooden door, but it resolutely refuses to give. As he steps back, a voice calls out faintly to you all, heard not by your ears but rather your minds...

Help me... he's trying to take me away... he's hurting me, just like the other one...

 

[Zhure]

Gholog

"We missing a kid?" Gholog asks, scratching his head to get the sound out.

 

[Other Guy]

Jason Master

"Fine, we'll help you," Jason tells the voice, hoping it can hear him, "just tell us where you are."

 

[GnomeWorks]

"As if the weird things downstairs weren't enough." Seraphina says, shaking her head.

OoC: Can I try to pick the lock again? It doesn't say anything about retrying it in the 3e PH.

 

[Jarval]

Looking back to the cage, Gholog does a quick head count. One, two, three. The children are all still there, two now away and cowering against the back wall, while the other lies still on the floor.

I'm in the dragon. The bad man has come in, and he's hurting me... The voice continues, echoing around your heads pitifully.


(OoC: There's no lock on your side of the door. You'd guess it's held closed by bolts on the other side.)

 

[GnomeWorks]

"There was a dragon corpse in the other room, right?" Seraphina asks quickly. "Could that be what the voice means...?"

 

[Other Guy]

Jason Master

"Maybe. Let's go!" Jason says, running quickly to the door. "Gholog, Seraphina, help me out," he says as he begins violently kicking it.

 

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Kerrick Jonez

[OOC: Sorry for fallin behind guys, real life has been sucking big time lately. Cripes! You guys sure picked up the pace a bit while i wasn't looking. ]

While Seraphina was off checking ahead, Kerrick had decided to examine the mummified dragon. He was so intent on this that he failed to even notice the halflings call for help, and by the time he caught up with the others the battle had ended and the group was attempting to free the children.

Even as he approaches the group he seems a bit lost in thought.
"Errrr, sorry guys! Didn't mean to leave you all hanging, but i've never seen anything like that...that corpse back there. It really creeps me out. Why would these goblins keep that thing around? Seems more like something you'd expect of Kobold's or something."

Finally bringing his full attention to the here and now, Kerrick takes a quick look at the room, "The kids alright?"

 

[Jarval]

While Kerrick intently examined the draconic corpse, he witnessed a remarkable sight. A blue skinned goblin came running full pelt down the ramp, dodged past him, and dived feet first into the dragon's mouth. From inside, very faint sounds of movement can be heard...


(OoC: Good to have you back with us Sir Osis Sorry to hear you've been having RL problems, I hope they're getting better.)

 

[Zhure]

Gholog

Gholog continues trying to free the children. "Once these kids are out, we can concentrate on other things, but this takes priority," the half-orc says.
