Yeah; you can; it's pretty flimsily built...pretty thin stuff.
(edit)it's pretty long, so it hangs down to about 2 feet above the ground, in a loop as it were...
alright, Beldan drops his rapier, whips out his cold iron dagger and tries to cut the chain. 18+4 = 22. Damage: 3+1 = 4

It is cut loose, and the tiny fairy flies free.
"I drop the shield! You're a veryveryveryverymeanmeanmeanie, and I hope you pay!" she shouts at the hobgoblin wizard.
ALTAI:
"So, Jag Doom; he's in the Chapel. He's brought a vat up, from the dungeon, with my permission of course. He's proven himself interesting enough to the rest of my kinsfolk to humor him and his little experimentings.
The vats,...they are used to make magen. Artifisial humans, as it were. He and my cousin, Gisele, have twinked around with it, and using his blood and....other body fluids, have made clone hobgoblins, and the others you see herein." He motions at the twenty or so warriors in the room, who aren't clones of Jag Doom per se. "I think he's been quite successful with his sciencing. I'm considering actually taking up a small stint as a field marshall on some world or another, with an Army of Doom. I don't know which world yet exactly, probably one of my brother Giles'. He's such a vexsome tit."
ALTAI:
"He doesn't command the whole thing, just a nation or two. And, well, usually the nation in question ends up spending itsself out in battle against another nation on another world...say my brother Jacqes' or JeanClaude..."
I gotta crash....tired....
<...wipes some blood off his axe.>
:D
It's attached to his wrist. You can jump up and attack him biting his foot, or try to yank him down; either or.
To yank him down'll be an opposed str roll I reckon. If that's your game, go for it.
Sorry; Mondays and Tuesdays are s*&@ty to post at work anymore.
ALTAI:
I've fed much of the staff to the ghouls, in the interim."
Elgan snarls at the flying Hobgoblin, then grins ferociously as the fairy is set free.
"Righ' chere', Now iz Mah Turn!" He cries, and the fleet-footed elf dashes off, stepping lightly on Gittik's back, then Stiggy's head, the druid hurls himself into the air and shimmers. Then a large predatory bird hurls itself at the flying wizard, screeching in a familiar tone,...
Elgan's arial attack!: (1d20 5=19, 1d6 2=4)
:)
heh heh....the predatorform druid grabs hold of the hob's foot, scathing him badly.
The hob points his wand at Gittik:
"Ere you sprinkle in my skull, wumpling, I'll sear it off!"
another scorching ray from the wand; Gittik takes 16 h.p. damage.
Then the tiny fairy princess flies up to Gittik.
"I heal you, yesyes?"
she can't yet; she took a standard action dropping a spell, then a move action.
Round 6!!! Huzzah.
ALTAI:
"Oh, no...they don't take to domestic work all too well. The only use for them is as psychological warfare...you know, soldiers, trying to sleep at night; ghouls eating their feet, whatnot...they're really more of a nuisance than anything."
At that your friend retorts:
"Not true! Not true at all. We ghouls are capable of the highest forms of artistic expression! Consider Pickman!"
There's a long uncomfortable silence, then...
Amber: "yerrrs, how.....esquisite...." rolling his eyes.
"Sooo... This is actually very interesting." Altai visibly perks up as the topic becomes more academic and weird. "Do you ghouls engage in, erm, let's call it... ah, mortal interests when eating is impossible and the urge to feed can be controlled? Do you read books, paint pictures and contemplate the nature of the multiverse? Or is it all food all the time?"
Then the tiny fairy princess flies up to Gittik.
"I heal you, yesyes?"
Gittik eyes the fairy suspiciously. "OK, but me no like short people."
Gittik leaps upwards for the wizard, trying to grab his leg and aiming to stab him in the groin .
Round 6!!! Huzzah.
Round 6!!! Huzzah.
Nope. Just the wizard.
Then the tiny fairy princess flies up to Gittik.
"I heal you, yesyes?"Gittik eyes the fairy suspiciously. "OK, but me no like short people."
Gittik leaps upwards for the wizard, trying to grab his leg and aiming to stab him in the groin .
Gittik jumps and grabs ahold, but the hob kicks him in the face (3 subd. hp dmg), and Gittik falls.
"Ankle biting Wumpling....heh heh..."Stiggy, Beldan, Riese, Elgan...
ALTAI:
Just let them convince you that they're human. They'll eat you in your sleep the moment you let down your guard.
How's the banauna split?"
"I'll sizzle your pizzle with yon wand, you hobniz sprat! Then you're next, you fatbeard dwarf."
;)
Elgan's second aerial assault: (1d20 5=25, 1d6 2=7)
;)
As the wand spits forth another gout of flame, the Druid-turned-Hawk screeches painfully loud and strikes again at the floating Hobgoblin caster. His avian howl seems to plainly say,...
"No hurtin' mah frends!"
Or possibly,...
"Hey! Whut am Ah here chere'? Chop' liveh?!?"
Right on; you shred his face up, some more. He's starting to look pretty injured. You red his right eye up with a beak, or a talon, or a little of both.
Beldan steps back (5 foot step) and reloads his crossbow. Then prepares an action to fire if the wizard moves.
Right on; Stig's and Riese to go...
If he's low enough and close enough:
[2HPA] Axe, damage: (1d20+7=20, 1d10+13=19)
If not, Stig'll just take a position underneath him.
Stiggy chops his left foot off, and blood sluices out under him.
Pretty hurt now....
Riese!!!
ALTAI:
The milk comes from cows, and magic chills it....
the cookbook is from another world.
Time to die, hobgoblin. Imebelia furtion de'flar!!5d6=26 firebolt damage, DC18 reflex for half. Burn you son of an orc!
"MNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!"
his head catches fire as your bolt shoots into his eye and splodes his head. He flops heavily onto Stiggy. Stiggy's on the ground.
Underneath him.
With a burnt hobgob head in his face.
Exp shortly...

And gear, Riese likes that wand! Riese will loot the body after kicking it off of the dwarf.

<From under the dead hobbo.>
"At leest he didne jobby up afore he fell."
Gnarly!
Elgan lands and shifts back into an elf. After a swift glance to make sure there is no more immediate danger, he pulls out the wand and begins playing a drum roll with it on Stiggy's head,...
;P
EDIT-
Elgan observes the fairies work with an admiring eye.
"Dat's gud work hon'. T'ank yeh Chere, yeh gots a nice tech." He compliments her as he stretches his formerly wounded arm.
Riese grabs the wand and the spellbook to share with Altai later and looks at the fairy....
"I guess you should've decided to help us earlier. You chose to help them so I had no choice but to treat you as one of them. Get over it and be glad you are free and still alive. I must apologize though, I am sorry you chose to continue helping them when rescue was obviously eminent and got yourself hurt. Magnanimous of me, I know, but I felt that an apology was in order."
"Humph!" She says to Riese, and shoots daggers at him with her eyes.
She smiles at Elgan though. "Keep the red stuff INSIDE, shiftyelf, not OUTSIDE."
Gittik drops his trousers and pisses on the hobgoblin wizard's head, chuckling evilly all the while.
The fairy princess doesn't bat an eye.
"If littlebigbig hurt in his head, I can't fix that."
“Heh. That’ll learn him,” chuckles Beldan (he’s easily amused sometimes).
“So what’s your deal?” he asks the fairy. “Can you tell us anything about these guy’s,” he kicks one of the dead hobgoblins, “buddies? How many, where they are, where’s the boss?”
"They make me prisoner, make me fix them.
Purpleface meany, he go through door out there, to left.
(she points to the same one Altai went through).
"I got map; I show you. Follow me!"
She flies down the hall.
There's a few rooms and halls in here; much like a Mordenkainen's Magnificent Mansion.
She shows you this....
"They went to this big place."
If you scroll down the page, there's a side-to-side scroll near the bottom; it's kinda big.
