[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 5627376, member: 16069"] "Did you see someone/thing other than the dwarves or the goblins in here?" "More of my loyal Goblins patrol the area beyond the secret door, watching over the entrance- that is our responsibility, make sure we get good gold! There are Orcs there too- Orc leader smell bad- he further in, he big stinky... And then the Gnolls- everyone hate Gnolls!" "How long have you been here, and is there someone from the crazed dwarves that you communicate with?" "Big Uppity lead men here six months past... we welcomed because we dead hard and mighty warriors. I talk with Lord Garbage's Dwarf crazies every now and then- mostly they leave us alone." "Did U ever follow some of these dwarves to see where are they going or doing here besides , well being mad..." "Dwarves mostly further in- they spend time worshipping black gods and slaughtering prisoners- we give captives to Lord Garbage..." "Food?" "There is lots of fine Goblin food available- Beetle parts, Stirge stew, Dwarf... oh right..." There are indeed a dozen or so pots of not very well preserved foods in the chamber- most of it is rotten however, you do have lots of trail rations- as we discussed at the start. [GM]Waiting on a decision by Pinotage, or anyone else, to agree to Big Uppity's offer- you can get a map but it will cost you his freedom...[/GM] In the meantime, while this has been going on, then you have managed to take an Extended Rest. [sblock=Combat] Encounter Turn: Initiative (* = Next to play) Grim Kathra Mardred Krogan Cinara Kazz HP & Conditions PCs Cinara 29/29 Surges 10/10 Kazzagin 31/31 Surges 13/13 Krogan 34/34 Surges 10/10 Mardred 25/25 Surges 7/7 Grim 25/25 Surges 2/2 Kathra 26/26 Surges 9/9 Monsters Actions To Date Turn #1 [/sblock] The eight or so hours pass quickly at first, interrogating Big Uppity and Piggy his burnt companion... then the questions and queries dry up, and you become aware of your surroundings. The rooms smell- bad, the food is bad and there's nowhere much that's comfortable to lie down. Flies buzz. Every now and then the stones groan... And once or twice you hear a scream, or cackling laughter. The atmosphere gathers in, the Goblins need to be dealt with- clearly Piggy is no threat anymore, Big Uppity just wants out- you get the feeling that if you let him go then he wont be coming back here anytime soon. The time drags, and no-one comes, you're all on your own- you have an exit but for the most part- from what Big Uppity has told you there are many trials left ahead- Mad Dwarf Trapmaster More Mad Dwarves lead by Lord Garbage. More Goblins. Orcs. Gnolls. A strange Wizard looking for the Forges. & Traps... [GM]Finish off with Big Uppity and then we can move on...[/GM] [/QUOTE]
