"Since you are so generous with your information. Tell me about the poisons she uses and the ones your goblin buddies make? Like this red stuff on this dagger?" Tolly takes another look at the necklace before tossing it to Allien, "Can you tell what this does?"
Still toying with the dagger near the goblins throat Tolly says, "And what uses would those be?" After hearling Allien's speech he nods at him. Taking the rope he makes sure to tie up the goblin as securely as possible. He also searches him again for any hidden items.
With a savage sneer across his childish face he says, "You heard em. What about them gobbies?" As he finishes he twirls the dagger in his fingers before stopping just short of the goblin spy's neck.
Sidestepping to avoid the green ball of slime Tolly grins at the goblin. "So you are at least smart enough to speak common. To bad you are still to stupid to realize the situation you are in." He casually walks over to the dead woman. Carefully picks up her dagger still dripping with some kind of red toxic substance. He carefully weighs the weapon in his hand. Making sure to take his time and that the goblin has a clear picture of what will be happening next. "Now I ain't no expert on poisons, but I can tell you this doesn't look like the berry jam I like on my bread. I can also tell you that you only have one chance to tell us what you know." Tolly slowly stands up and starts walking towards the goblin.
Tolly steps out of the southern building holding the box and the gauntlets. With a big smile on his face he says, "Look at all this they left for us. Mighty nice of them, eh?" "These big gloves might be worth something. The box has about 50 silvers and a junk necklace. The silvers look like they come from all over the area. All kinds of different kingdoms money in this one. The necklace may fetch 50 gold at a decent size town. I think yer right. These guys be terrible toll guards. They ask 10 gold each but they only has 150 silvers and a broken necklace. Either no one comes this way, these turds send their money somewhere else, or they got it hidden someplace." He sees Praxus come out with the goblin in tow, "This the spy, eh?" In Goblin he says, Kuush maagaan o dhaan akaaraal tuuc or a ghuukhaagaan huuch. An kuukac agaan huuc duun duul or tekec shuugaan ac daan kegaar akaan o daach an dar daan dac duun muul" If you speak Goblin:
Spoiler:
"Look here you flea infested son of a motherless gnoll. Us longshanks are going to throw your stinking corpse in the river unless you tell us what we wants to know"
Startled, Tolly slams the lid shut on the box. "What the ..." Flexing his fingers and checking his hand he says to Kronag, "Ya see that thing? Quick as lightning but not quick enough." Grinning as Kronag he says, "There might be something good in there. Or maybe we can throw it on some goblins to see how poisonous it is." Thinking it over for a second, "Nah, wouldn't be worth lugging that thing around. I am going to let it out in the field so we can check the box." Tolly proceeds to let the viper out away from the others and checks the box.
Continuing to look through the guard posts he spots a Under the lower bunk pillow next to the locked chest is an iron-shod gauntlet with a two foot leather sleeve. "I got something else. Some kind of big metal glove. These dummies trying to hide all kinds of good stuff." He says with a grin.
Mr. Wolf:

Tolly will pocket the small pouch of 5g and the agate. "Hey look at this." Tolly holds up a box with 100 silvers wrapped in squares of cloth. "Wait a second there is something else down here." He carefully pulls up another box with a scroll inside. "Allien, this might be something you could use."
Tolly nods at Allien. He quickly searches the buildings for some rope starting with the one closest to him. "I'll get him tied up right quick." Pulling the big mans arms behind his back Tolly ties the rope securely around his wrists. He then pulls some rope back and runs it tautly down to his legs where he ties his ankles up. "There you go" He says as he kicks the man in his thigh. "This dummy ain't going no where." He then moves to retrieve his sling where he dropped it near the barrels. Mr. Wolf:
Spoiler:
Perception (1d20 5=22) Check to find any valuable looking loot in the rooms. If something stands out such as sacks of gold, important looking documents, or anything else that can be easily tucked into hidden pockets he grabs it quickly.
There is a loud roar from behind him. Spinning around Tolly sees a flash of colors. He quickly covers his eyes blinking rapidly to clear the effect. Just as quickly as it started the effect has subsided. In its wake is a burly man with a gigantic sword laying on the ground under him. Tolly gives the slinger an approving look and a quick nod before spinning back around.
"Why am I standing in here waiting to get skewered as they come out." Just as the thought finishes an explosion of dirt and wood splinters causes him to jerk back. Not an inch away from where his head was is an arrow embedded halfway up its hilt wavering slightly from the impact. Eyes wide he spins his head around to the southern archer and gives him the finger. "Great, not only am I going to get sliced by the guards or fried to a crisp by their slinger, but now I gotta worry about being a pincushion." He gives Praxus the evil eye for such a foolish plan as he hides in safety behind his shield.
Now that Allien and his magical hand have the door covered Tolly moves 5' to cover that door.
As the others swings miss the guards Tolly says a silent curse to himself. "Should have listened to me, but no one listens to Tolly." As he lets loose a bullet he harumphs.
Rubbing tears from his eyes, and wiping his snot on his arm he pleads, "Thank you sirs, but we do not even have 5g between the four of us. Couldn't you find it in your souls to let us through to see my Uncle Hiram?"
Hobbling his way past the two brutes he gives the guards his most pitiful, poverty stricken look. "Please sirs, may we pass? I have an uncle ahead that is bed stricken and I am all that is left. He hasn't much time left in this world. And I wouldn't know what to do if he were to pass without a member of his own family to hold his weary hand as he sets foot across the great divide." Looking up at the sky with tears streaming down his face, "Finally seeing his wife again, who passed four years ago. Aunt Natty, oh how I miss your corn muffins." Gently sobbing he peaks at the guards reaction from shielded eyes as he wipes his face. Persuade on bridge guards (1d20 6=24)
Edit: I put persuade when I meant to type Deception.
As the others finish speaking Tolly's childlike voice pipes in, "Like cap said the direct approach looks best. How about dragging me down there by my arm as I kick and scream. Bring up Angoll's name a few times. Maybe I took some items that belonged to him or I am a long lost son hes been looking for. We might be able to slip right on by that way."
"Looks as if someone with some brains set this up. Those barrels will slow ya down while the bowmen pincushion ya." Squinting towards the buildings, "The problem I see is we don't know where that slinger be at." Looking at the river flowing under the bridge he says, "I would slip sneak past them, but I ain't getting into that water unless the risk of me drowning is smaller than whats chasing me. If they ain't paying to much attention I could slip past them to check those buildings out. Now if you look close those bowmen are standing on open roof in the middle of the day. That's smart and dumb. They can see everything but that leaves them open without cover. I wouldn't be much good sneaking on them and once the guards are fighting they will let the ones in the building know for sure."
*edit*
It seems he is back on his feet with a wide smile across his face before some of you can even react. "Ya got me Cap. A slinger with an intellect like that, no wonder you saw that one coming a mile away." He dusts his clothes off, which look as if a pincher wouldn't even wear them, puffs out his chest, and introduces himself, "Tolman Cooper at yer service Cap. Everyone calls me Tolly though." He flourishes with style and grace that would make a court noble look like a fool. "Since we are about to leave I guess you might want some of your stuff back." Winking at the group he drops a sack of gold, wooden holy symbol, dagger, potion of cure light wounds, spell component pouch, and punching dagger on the table, "The very small sack of gold and holy symbol came off you,"He nods at Kronag. "The potion and spell pouch came from the Elf with the brains, and the punching dagger came of the other big guy. Did you know you only have 5 silvers and 8 pence on you? I would have taken that to, but it would have been an insult to my skills." He looks at each of you still smiling, "All in good fun, heh Cap? I wouldn't have kept it all." He says with a grin. Allien Layshien: Spoiler:
Thanks for saving my intro. :)
As soon as you finish speaking the door bangs open and a small blond blur whips by the table and hides behind the big human . Before anyone can react the young, blond haired, blue eyed child, grimy and obviously starving looks pleadingly at you. Out of breath and in seemingly complete distress he says, "Please sirs, there are some terrible men after me." Suddenly drop to the floor in exhaustion. After a moment he starts to stir again. Mr. Wolf:
Spoiler:
Sorry for interjecting Tolly before you approved him, but I thought I would get him into the game. The stats we can work on if they need to be adjusted which they probably do. As for his intro here is what I had been thinking of. Tolly was going to work his pitiful, malnourished look to get a hot meal or two and a dry bed to sleep in at the shrine. However after seeing the Elf walk in looking as if he owned the place another idea formed in his head. Almost out of money and no civilization close by he decided to play his role out above. His plan is to take whatever money he can find after everyone is asleep and steal one of the horses. As he was scouting out the building he happened to overhear parts of their conversion about the castle. Their talk of castles and nobility got him thinking of even bigger plans. This might be his big chance at some real wealth. If the others don't want him right away he will follow them out. (Once they give up on waiting for the 4th member) Shadowing them for a day or two before openly walking into their camp at night. If they happened to get attacked before that happens he planned to flank their attackers and show his worth hoping they will take him on.
In case the other guy doesn't show up here is your replacement. I decided to stay with the halfling as he picked mainly because of the bonuses. A couple things I was not sure of:
The background for this character will revolve around him using his childlike appearance to deceive and trick his way into whatever he needs. Tolly lives on the streets or traveling with merchants who believe he is an orphan. Stealing, pick pocketing, lying, and cheating are some of the things he does during a typical day. He believes he has a right to a better life and the only way to get that is by taking it from others. However what little bit of money he gets is quickly spent on buying affections from whatever working woman is willing to spend a few hours with a "child" or gambling it all away in the back alleys with all the other pauper kids. |
