The Sceptre of Kings-A Heroic Dwarven Quest

[silentspace]

Eh? Elspeth had the chance to question the Hobgoblin but chose not to! She didn't look too happy that I had spared him. So what's she complaining about now? That hobgoblin showed us nothing but malice! Anyone knows that physical force is the best way to deal with such creatures. And the only way Terrick and I have, since Elspeth won't help! Why's she trying to stop Terrick? If the hobgoblin had given us some useful information, we would have spared him, but since he's not, Terrick's just finishing the job we all started! Why save a baby-eating servant of the Drow?

Turlough thinks about saying something out loud, but decides against it. Putting these thoughts from his mind, he continues on into the next room.

As Terrick moves to finish off the prisoner, Mohgrym looses interest and joins Turlough as he moves into the other room.

OOC: i guess my next response will depend on uriel's reply. this seems like it may turn into a "good cop, bad cop" situation. i like it.

 

[Uriel]

OoC: So, Elspeth and Terrick are at odds.
I made a Sense Motive for Elspeth, and she figured out what Terrick was going to do. Unfortunately, the rolls didn't fall in the Hobs' favor, either as a grapple or in any other manner.

Despite Elspeth's protest, terrick succeeds in deftly cutting the hobgoblin's throat, his foul blood spilling upon the floor as the band moves onward to the passage that Turlough has moved into.

OoC:I expect some heat on that one, but that's how the dice fell.

Turlough, with Denzenai and Mohgrym close behind, as well as Ghimlod and the rest (Terrick and Elspeth in the rear), moves cautiously into the next area.

A tunnel some 40 feet long, ending in another door, this one stoutly closed.

Terrick wipes off his blade and continues after the rest of the party.

 

[Erekose13]

"Another door for you Turlough. I could take another peak at what is behind the door if you like." Mohgrym adds as they reach the second door.

 

[silentspace]

"Aye, Mohgrym, that would be good. I expect something important behind that door, being protected by Glyphs and all."

Turlough searches for traps while Mohgrym scries.

 

[Knight Otu]

Skezzketh remains relatively unfazed by the fate of the hobgoblin, his only trouble being that he might have had important information. Then he remembers something that seems to have gone forgotten during the whole chaos.

"Ghimlod, doess your map give any hintss to what may be behind thesse doorss?"

 

[Erekose13]

"Right then, lets have a look shall we." Mohgrym says as he closes his eyes and opens his third, peering at what must be just beyond the door.

Terrick takes out his crossbow and keeps an out on in the rear of the group in case of ambush.
