[PbP] Big Trouble in the Tzin

[Mr Fidgit]

"My name is Marak de Vries." *bows* "I was passing by in the street when I heard a noise in this house. The door was open, so I came in to investigate. I found some people and the hobgoglins, already dead and unconscious, so I bound the unconscious one and found this letter. Then you came in, with the kobolds."

Edit: Whoops, just noticed I have a shortsword, not a rapier. Consider all references to rapiers to mean shortswords. Sorry again.

"Where's the boss?" says the hobgoblin.

 

[Mathew_Freeman]

"Not a good start. We're asking the questions." *presses dagger a little closer to the hobgobs throat*

[Edit: Made a character change. He's no longer afraid of rope, but he is now afraid of undead. Just to let you all know.]

"I work for Argun Merrith," the hobgoblin says, as you hear the clinking of armour come down the stairs. He strug

Gruchet, as you come down the stairs, you hear the hobgoblin.

What does the letter say?! Speak quickly!

 

[randomling]

"Letter? This letter?" says the hobgoblin, nodding at the paper in Berwan's hand. "Unbind me first!"
