Shackled City - Chapter II

[Dhes]

Feeling the sharp pain in his shoulder, Elyas cries out and takes a step back, but still trusting at his foe with his short spear.

(+1Melee, Short Spear, 1d6)

 

[Majin]

Elyas finds a bit of luck this time as his attack finds a chink in the hobgoblin's armor. Putting his full weight forward, drives his spear deep into the goblinoid, killing it (6 damage).

The last goblin falls pathetically to a heavy slash from Raven's deadly axe (8 damage).

With the room secure, Orpheus collects his spent arrows, and greets the chained strangers with no lack of flourish.
"It seems your predicament has become more fortuitous," he says in Common, and then in Halfling or Dwarven if needed.

 

[kirinke]

As the adrenaline of the fight wore off, she could feel the pain of a number of bruises, cuts and lacerations start to seep in. On particularly large one was causing her a bit of trouble.

"Blast and damnations." she muttered, looking at the injury. "How did that happen?" she asked herself, honestly not remembering how it had happened. The fight had started and ended so quickly, she had no clear idea. Dizziness swamped her and she managed to sit down on a nearby bench before she fell down. (Shock)

 

[Manzanita]

Raven

Raven still crouches, eyes darting about on the look out for more opponents. Finally she relaxes and lowers her axe. Allowing the others to question the now-free slaves, she examines the room for doors or dangers.

 

[Mimic]

With a small smile Althron watches the last of the goblins fall, he wipes off his mace on one of the fallen creatures before turning and addressing the Dwarven women.

"Who be you and how did you end up here?" As she answers he will check out members of the party to make sure they are ok and to see if they need magical healing.

[sblock] I an unsure how much damage everyone took but I would rather conserve the magical healing as much as possible. I have a feeling that we are going to need it.[/sblock]

 

[kirinke]

[sblock] True Manz. Alinis still has her healing kit. It's not as good as a heal-spell, but seeing as how she's still conscious, she'll use that. I think we should use the healing spells if one of us falls to neg points or something. Conservation, conservation.... [/sblock]

Alinis carefully removes the armor, looking at the nasty wound. On second look, nothing seems to be broken. A long slash and heavy bruising looks to be the extent of the wound. She cleans it, deciding that it doesn't need stitching and applies a mild healing/numbing ointment to the cut and bruised area before bandaging it throughly.

She looks at the ruined armor and shakes her head. "Didn't get much use out of it did I?" she grinned at Zeric, very happy to be alive. "Hope there's a spare somewhere around here that I can use." she said, shrugging back into it, figuring battered armor was better than no armor at all.

 

[Majin]

One of the halflings, a male, shys away from Calenthang as he speaks to them, red circles around his eyes, wide with fear. The other one, a female, seems more in control of her faculties, answers him, relief clearly in her voice at being rescued. "Thanks to you all for killing the guards. One of the goblins has a key in his pouch to our manacles. If you would be so kind as to release us so we can escape from this hell, it would be most appreciated."

The female dwarf looks Althron up and down. "I be Sondor Ironfold and I know who you be. A rude dwarf who does not give his name first when greeting a lady," she says, roughly. "As for how we got here, we were captured by some fiend who calls himself one of our kin. Bah! Looks more like his mudder had too much fun out at pasture and sumthin' terrible came of it, if ye get me meanin'. Him and his slavers, they sold my husband weeks ago. I'd of been next I'm sure if'n yer lot hadn't come. Me thanks is owed for that much."

 

[Manzanita]

Raven

Raven starts searching the goblins for keys. As she does she asks the dwarf. "Have you seen children down here? Were you kidnapped from Cauldron? Are there those dressed as clowns or harlicans involved too? We intend to rescue all the slaves, and kill those responsible. Do you know much of this complex?"

 

[Majin]

"Aye, there'n be children down here too, though the young ones seem to be held seperately from the adults. The slaver is using rooms to the west of here as cells, and his main chambers are in the south somewhere, I think. I canno' be sure exactly. We have not been treated too kindly, being roughed up regularly, and led here and there, me bearings might not be where their supposed to be."

Fishing through the goblins belongs Raven is able to find the aforementioned key with little trouble.
