renau1g's Red Hand of Doom

[renau1g]

As you move to the town, the guards let you in, somewhat surprised that the two groups that were sent out return together, considering that most adventurer's are loath to share their quests with others.

You return to the jail where the hobgoblin prisoner was located. The guards there send for Captain Soranna. She comes out and a smile is evident on her face as she spots the captured hobgoblins and your safe return.

"Welcome back heroes! You've ended the hobgoblin threat I trust?" she says excitededly "We shall have a feast to honour you, The Green Apple will be alive with our celebration tonight. I must let Town Speaker Winston know."

Zazz smiles sadly, and shakes his head. "Soranna, I am afraid the threat is worse than was thought...some many thousands hobgoblins gather at a place called Cinder Hill, and prepare to wage a war of conquest upon the vale. We have hurt them, and perhaps even slowed their advance, but they are not stopped."

These prisoners spilt the beans, they did m'lady. Best you question them while you can. Sascha waits for the prisoners to be taken before taking the cart to the Inn and following the others where they shall go.

"There are dragons among them as well as the goblinoids. We fought one at the bridge and were able to drive it away. As Zazz said, we destroyed the bridge over the gorge, but it won't slow them for long."

 

[renau1g]

She looks at you incredulously at the mention of the destroyed bridge, "Uhh....what? The bridge is gone? Oh... dear. Um, please go wait at the Inn, I'll go grab the Town Speaker and we can talk further" she gestures for two of the guardsmen to take the hobgoblins into the prison, the she turns and runs at full speed away from you into town.

 

[Rhun]

Zazz frowns and claps Hurrow on the shoulder on Soranna runs off. "I was trying to avoid mentioning the bridge until we had to explain how we slowed the horde down. Best mention the hundreds of hobgoblin reinforcements marching down the road toward the bridge that led to our decision." The elf winks at his companion, and then heads out, leading the way to the inn.

"I hope they don't expect us to pay for that bridge," says Virashil with a slight grimace.

"To make an omelet, you've got to break a few eggs..."

"When the rest of you are done here, head back to the Inn. I'm going to take the unidentified items over to the wizard for identification."

"Wait, do we have any money for that?"

 

[Voadam]

"If you don't, I have more than enough to cover the costs of a petty divination if he does not choose to voluntarily aid us due to the rightness of our cause. Let us see what the Speaker can do. At the very least alert the other settlements of the oncoming horde, raise the alarm and call out what military aid these lands have to offer."

"I can not offer much in the way of money, but I would be interested to meet the wizard, too. Perhaps he will identfy on loan and we could sell him some of the items. I will come with you." Scavenger suggests.

"I have a few quid on me," says Zazz. "How much do you need?"
