[PbP] Big Trouble in the Tzin

[Horacio]

[this all assumes I've read the letter, pocketed the gold and sucessfully searched the other hobgoblin]

"Good evening. I am not a damsel, nor am I in distress, but it is a pleasure to meet you. Perhaps you should venture down here, I am loath to leave these hobgoblins unguarded."

OOC: AFAIK we are also on ground level

Horax makes a sign to his companion and to the other guy there, and goes to meet that freindly voice.

Marak

You see an ordinary looking human male, wearing dark leather armour and carrying a rapier and some potions. He's wearing fairly ordinary looking boots, and holding a letter in one hand. There is a hobgoblin dead on the floor, and another unconscious hobgoblin tied up next to it. He extends his hand and says in kobold:

"Strength to the tribe, and honour to the scales. I am pleased to meet you. My name is Marak de Vries. I was just passing when I heard some noise in here, so I came to investigate. Please, what are your names?"

OOC: Hey, I know choosing kobold as a language was metagaming a bit, but it's fun, no? So please give me a description, and take that opening as a kind of traditional kobold greeting, OK?

OOC: Mr Fidgit has suggested that we start each post with our Character names, I think it's a good idea. I'm going back now to edit my posts on this page.

Grashnyu

Grashnyu walks over and asks the human man, "What's all the commotion? Need any help?"

Serei

Oh . . . In that case I don't try to tackle him.

 

[Knight Otu]

Jepraith

Looking at the juggling elf woman, Jepraith remarks "Some people never know when the festival is over.", with a smile to show that he isn't really serious.

As the goblin approaches, he wonders if the whole city has heard this commotion already. "I'm not really sure. There seems to be a fair number of loose strings going on in this house. Apparently, some hobgoblins tried to break into the house, and we stumbled into this whole thing. Then there still is this strange yipping... maybe you can talk to the remaining hobgoblin to clear up a few things."

Grashnyu

"Does the hobgoblin not speak Common?' asked Grashnyu.

Marak, the letter is in a language you don't know. The second hobgoblin carries a longsword and has a money pouch similar to the first hobgoblin's -- this time containing 2 gold, 2 silver and 18 copper.

Serei, you're no longer tackling Grashnyu, right?

Horax (and Takhop-hep if you're entering the hallway), in the hallway with Marak are two hobgoblins, one lying on the floor apparently dead, the second bound and unconscious.

Everybody else seems to be just talking to each other, you can carry on with that quite happily without my intervention!

Marak

To Horax and Takhop-hep: "I have found some money on this one. I'm not sure if I should keep it. Oh, and can you read this letter that I found? It's in a language I don't understand."

*Marak leaves the money in the 2nd hobgoblin, being as he feels he can't get away with just taking it in front of other people*

 

[Mr Fidgit]

*Berwan*

...follows the kobolds into the hallway

I should take that money, since they took it from me...may I see that letter, please?

(reads the letter, if i get it)




(OOC - it may be easier for everyone to post their names in the post (and not the 'post subject') so we can see the name in the 'topic review' on the reply page (otherwise, you can't see it) - /OOC)
