[QUOTE="Hairy Minotaur, post: 3148360, member: 11574"] [b]So that's where baby goblins come from.[/b] The group heads back down the stairs, Kessen scouts ahead of the party and sticks his head through the "T" to the right. Peering to the north he sees a dead end with a small drainage gate near the bottom of the wall, to the south he sees a long passageway extending into the darkness beyond his human vision. Listen he hears no sound from either direction. "As far as I can tell, it looks clear this way." Kessen reports "Which is what fifteen feet? Go running up and down that hallway screaming for your clothes and weapons to be returned, if nothing attacks you, we'll know it's safe." Menthos counters "What's down that hallway Gorga?" Haimish inquires from the gagged goblin The bard removes the gag and Gorga spits out "Party, Gorga no allowed to eat. Gorga take wine anyway and sit alone." "Party? They got food?" Doopa asks Gorga nods and Doopa points towards the hallway, "Doopa go that way, Doopa need food badly" "Let's make sure there's nothing behind us first. What's down there?" Haimish asks Gorga pointing down the left corridor at the bottom of the stairs, the first room contained the goblins and badger they fought yesterday, but there was also a door at the end of the corridor. "Firt." Gorga says solemnly "That way." Kessen and Menthos says simultaneously The party reaches the door and Xanthos and Kessen both press their ears to the door. They seem to remain there longer than what would indicate no sound. "What do you hear?" Haimish asks "Grunting, moaning, and crying." Xanthos reports "Hmm, that would seem odd. Better check it out." Haimish answers Doopa moves up to take lead with Kessen, and the ogre shoves open the door to reveal a dimly lit room. Opposite of the doorway is a crudely constructed altar to some goblin god. Laid out on the floor in front of the idol are food stuffs along with burning candles and a couple of sacrificed rats which are still bleeding. The noises that the centaur and scout heard are coming from two goblins in the center of the room attempting to increase the numbers in their clan through breeding. "Ugh, I'm going to be sick." Kessen states as he backs away from the room and falls to his knees trying to breath slowly and counteract the urge to regurgitate. "What's going on?" Xanthos inquires as he moves u to take Kessen's spot "Looks like we found your diabolical lust altar of sacrifice after all." Menthos tells him Xanthos views the room and thinks for a moment, "Yes, appears you are correct. I shall handle this." The centaur moves up to the rutting goblins and takes his time to [I]coup d' grace [/I] both of the preoccupied goblins. The rest of the party enters as Xanthos throws their ratty clothes on top of the bodies. Menthos enters to investigate the altar along with Doopa, as Menthos passes the dead goblins, Gorga calls out, "Firt!" Gorga twists and rolls against his bonds, the movement causes Menthos to crash to the floor as Gorga attempts to escape his bonds, "Firt!" he calls out again. Turgar comes over and slams the head of Gorga against the stone floor, knocking him unconscious. "Doopa think this goblin fertility god, Doopa see this before in homeland." The barbarian announces "What? Are you sure?" Xanthos asks "Of course he's sure, his familiy uses the same one in their cave." Turgar answers "Doopa not live in cave." Doopa replies "Wait! I just killed two creatures doing what nature intended? What have I done?" Xanthos bemoans "Nature certainly did not intend for that." Menthos says standing up again and pointing at the goblins, "I would go with this is a diabolical lust cult, whatever helps your conscience get through it." "You're certainly a heartless bastard." Kessen remarks "So, he's half-ass. What did you expect?" Menthos counters "Now you're just mincing words."

Menthos responds "People, focus on the gold at the end of the path. This beating on the astral dream isn't going to get us there." Haimish speaks amid confused faces "I must bury them, to atone for my actions." Xanthos states "Bury them in your rear, we don't have time for you to bury them, nor the tools to do so in here." Menthos tells him Xanthos drapes both naked goblins across his horse back and exits the room. Haimish kicks over the ratty straw mat the goblins were on and locates some silver and copper pieces. The bard pockets them and heads out of the room with the rest of the party. The group heads back to the "T" Kessen looked down earlier, they take the south passage and come to a "Y" to the southeast the passage extends through darkness even for those with darkvision, the southwest passage goes about twenty feet and then turns to the west. Smells of cooked meat and spilled ale waft from the southeast passage, amidst the faint sound of music and voices. "That way!" Doopa announces and charges down the hallway. The rest of the group struggles to keep up with the lumbering ogre, whose strides rival that of a giant's. Doopa reaches the room where the smells seem to be emanating from and he eagerly points to the door while wiping the drool from his mouth. "Doopa break door down, kill all goblins in room, is good plan!" Doopa offers "Let me check to see how many there are in there first, okay?" Kessen asks Doopa thinks it over for a moment and decides that would take too long and shakes his head "no". Haimish produces one of the copper pieces he found under the straw mat and holds it in front of Doopa. "Oh, a shiny." Doopa remarks and takes the copper from Haimish "I'm a quick study." Haimish replies. Kessen smiles and opens the door slightly to peer inside. He spots at least two dozen goblins, mostly females and children, eating and drinking away the day inside the room. [/QUOTE]
