[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 6261967, member: 1465"] If you have troubles moving forward, I can tell you something OoC. Not really suggestions, but rather clarifications: - the last hobgoblin still alive was badly wounded, and very nearly died while unconscious; I just thought that prodding/slapping or any other physical (however [I]mildly[/I]) solicitation wouldn't really wake up someone who's just almost died due to physical solicitations... You need magic to restore him concious (a healing cantrip is enough, if you have one), or maybe the Druid or Ranger could find some natural substance that would also wake him up, but it would take an unreasonable amount of time now. Therefore, the trade-off is simple: spend a spell or potion, get information on what's next (or whatever you want to ask him). I know what he can tell you, but I don't know myself how useful it will be for you for real. - you are probably worrying too much about his reaction if woken up... he would be bound and surrounded by enemies 5-to-1 - hobgoblins also speak Common; not in every fantasy world for sure! for I just picked these from the 5e playtest Bestiary, hence they do ;) - the boulder will just wait for you, you already know you can move it away if 3-4 of you push together, so the trade-off "one spell/potion for some bits of information" is really the only decision you have to make! After that, move the boulder and go on! [/QUOTE]
