Brun finally makes it up the stairs an into the room and sees the two dead goblins and the cowering one. Having heard where the conversation is going the young man pulls his manacles out and steps towards the goblin. By the authority of the Sandport guard I place you under arrest. Now understand that as long as you are my captive it is my duty to protect you until trail or release you. It is you duty to cooperate and follow all of my orders. If you don't I would be well within my right to release you from lawful custody and just leave you here with... Brun gestures the half-orc and Gene. Then Brun cuffs the poor creature. Tell me all about your plans and your boss.
Brun is he telling the truth? Ceinwynn pokes the goblin lightly in his back with her short sword. Someone had to have told you to do this.
Ceinwynn detects magic to see who was using the alter self spell and if it is still in effect.
Brun fixes the goblin with a hard stare.
Tekk grimaces, "How did you find this house? Who told you to come here?"
Conversing with this runt is going to cause brain damage, I just know it...
Why did you come to house? How did you know that is was empty? What did you do it this house? Where are you supposed to meet the others of your tribe? When?
Get every one inside and hide the horse. We may have more showing up and we have to be ready in case they do. Fix that rear door so that they do not notice anything wrong on the way here. Spectrum, can you have little keep watch from the roof unseen and send the other with a note to the sheriff? Ceinwynn, look around outside and see if you can find anything. The rest off you search the house for anything useful and try and find out where the owners are. I will keep an eye on this one. pointing towards the cuffed goblin. So why did you raid the city and who is in charge? Since you can cast magic I will have to assume you are unless you can convince me otherwise. Brun then starts search the room for some ink and paper.
"Done." The pale elf says with a nod. A moment later a shadow of small wings flapped away from the sil.
The elf began looking around at the shelves and drawers, casually opening things and glancing inside.
Ceinwynn looks throughout the house (especially for secret doors) and then around the perimeter of the house.
Perception:
Gene slips into the darkest corner of the house. Figuring he may get to use his inflect spell yet. Trying to find anything hidden while doing so.
So mister goblin, you did not tell me your name and you did not tell the name of the person who should burn at the stake for leading this raid. There might be mercy for those who were not in charge. Right now it looks like the stake for you. Brun's tone is very civil and his demeanor are not threatening but there is conviction in his words.
[ooc]I will not let more then an hour pass before I go because I have to keep my word to the young lady. Unless the goblin becomes more talkative I am going to search house and find nothing.[ooc]
Tekk moves downstairs without comment and attempts to place the door back into the opening as well as possible.
He spends approximately ten seconds attempting to do it before wandering outside to look around.
Brun secures the goblin to bed and comes down the stairs. When he see the door still on the floor he quickly gets to work and matter of few minuets has the door back in shape. Once this is done hangs the door back on the hinges. Well no close to door will be fooled and strong wind could put back on the floor, it may just fool the goblins long enough to get them close.
I have to attend to rats because I gave my word. If a few of you want to come with me I would be grateful. I shall return as quickly as possible
Ceinwynn looks at the goblin: Describe what the man and woman looked like.
After the description, knowledge local:
Anyone else familiar with them?
I will come with you Brun.
Tekk crosses his arms over his chest, "Hold on a minute. Before you go running off like that, do you mind if we settle this business first? Like what did you find out from the goblin? Did they tell you anything about the person leading this raid?"
Knowledge Religion:
Brun shares all of the knowledge that he obtained from Grak with the half orc. [b]Do you want to stay here on the chance more goblins can will show up or come with me and with a guarantee of combat with big rats. I want to leave at least 3 people here. Little one, you got anything to handle swarms?
I do not have anything for swarms.
"Is there a reason this rat problem must be dealt with immediately, during a goblin invasion? Will the rats destroy the bakery by morning?" Spectrum says dryly.
I gave my word that I would help her today. I can not break my word. I will go alone if I have to and I will explain to her that she will have to wait if it can wait, but for all I know it could be related.
Spectrum eyes Brun flatly. "Indeed. Goblins are well known for coordinating their raids with rat infestations of bakeries. You should probably hurry."
I know it is unlikely and I will tell her she has to wait if it can not be quickly handled but I gave my word. Other then Ceinwynn any one else joining me?
Ceinwynn gets her things in order obviously very excited to be heading with Brun for some more action.
Lets go big guy!

Ceinwynn and Brun walk down towards the meeting place as the sun sets over the town. They find the girl from earlier, and she leads you to her house. No one else is home at the moment. She lets you in and leads you down into the basement. "Miss, could you go check the other side of the basement please? Brun can get this part."
Tekk looks around after Brun and Ceinwynn head back to town. "I don't know about any of you, but I'm not hanging around this dump. Nobody is coming back here."
With a violent (and totally unnecessary kick), he batters down the door that Brun had propped up only a few minutes ago. Tekk heads upstairs to the bed where the goblin is tied, "Listen here, we're going for a walk. If you behave, I won't hurt you, but if you try to escape, I'll cut off your legs, then I'll kill you. If you scream or make a loud noise, I'll cut out your tongue, then I'll kill you. If you try to attack me or my friends, I'll cut off your arms, then I'll cut off your legs, then I'll cut out your tongue, then I'll keep you alive and feed you to my dogs. Now let's go!"
Tekk unties the goblin from the bed and uses the rope as a leash to lead it back to town. "I'm taking this one back to the sheriff, maybe there's a reward for it! Anybody want to bring the dead ones? I bet we can get something for them too."
As they are walking back to town, Tekk questions the goblin, "This man longshanks, why did he need the goblin tribe? What did he want? Did he say anything about what he wanted?"
[ooc] Very nice Tekk, you character is fun. Well I see nothing [/occ]

Ceinwynn goes into the other room, and Brun looks around, not seeing any rats. The girl approaches Brun, then grabs him by the collar of his shirt. "I finally have you all to myself" She says in the most seductive voice she can muster. She pulls him towards the cleverly placed cot in the corner of the basement.
Perception:
Brun is stunned my a fantasy coming true but does not let himself be dragged along right away. He stumbles a bit in confusion and it takes an extra minute to get to the cot. All of his experience as an outcast in this town leads him to distrust this affection and as he stumbles he takes assessment of this situation.
Spectrum sighs as everyone leaves him and Gene in the derelict house. Lacking anything better to do he lights a candle at the desk, opens his book and reads.
Gene having started to doze off notices the light.
"Spectrum?" Were you able to figure out the religious symble the goblins talked about? i wasn't"
Brun still does not believe what is happening but the hormones flooding his system overwhelm his ability think clearly and willingly falls into the cot with the young lady. Along the way he drops his sword and shield and starts to strip his armor from his body. In his haste he fumbles with straps, pulls buckles the wrong way and generally manages to bungle the job.
After several embarrassing minuets his scale mail falls to the floor with a load clang. Finally free off his weapons and armor Brun embraces they comely lass and kisses her passionately.
