Seeing the extra goblins, Garrath growls and his face fills with Rage. As the goblin clambers over the body of his friend, Garrath notices the slight stumble and takes advantage to attack.
Using the momentum of the swing, he turns the Greatsword onto the other poor goblin standing nearby (#6)
Brandark grins at the goblins that happen to be creating a breeze, and then attempts to drop number 6
Garrath reacts to a Goblin negotiating another fallen Goblin, sending the little green meanie to the same fate as the Goblin it is stepping on.
Kelvin puts an arrow in a Goblin , and as it begins to fall, Garrath cleaves off its head splattering Goblin goo all over the room.
Brandark buries his ax into another Goblin, it falls unconscious, bleeding heavily from its wound.
Stone sticks his scimitar in the Goblin to make sure it's dead.
"We know there are goblins behind the last door. Do we go there next, or take this door by door?" whispers Kelvin.
Brandark clumps over to where Kelvin is checking the door.
Kelvin will not hear anything, nor find a trap or lock on the door he is standing next to. When Brandark opens it, he finds a stairwell heading down.
"On to the next door" and Kelvin moves to the double door, listens and checks for traps.
Kelvin doesn't hear a thing behind the double doors, even the Goblin Dogs behind the next door have quieted down a little by his perspective. He likewise will not find a trap or lock.
When Brandark or Garrath opens the double doors they lead to another set of double doors.
Looking around at the rest of the group. "Thru the double doors ahead, or out into the courtyard where we saw goblin dogs before?"
How about those other doors that were in the room with the door to the courtyard. I do not want anything behind us when we go down.
Kelvin moves over to the double doors on the western wall, listens and checks for traps.
Kelvin listens and hears a very faint sound of what could be described as snoring. Kelvin finds no trap or lock upon the door.
When Brandark opens the door he sees yet another set of doors further to the west. There is also a single door to the north.
With Brandark watching his back, Kelvin moves to the first door on the right, listens and then checks for traps. Regardless of the outcome, he moves to the double doors and repeats the process.
Kelvin doesn't hear anything through the door to the north. It appears this door is nailed shut. It does not appear to be trapped.
Kelvin can more clearly hear the snoring sound through the western most double doors. These double doors are neither locked nor trapped.
Once Kelvin checks the door out and steps back, Brandark opens it up
Brandark sees two Goblins sacked out at the bottom of the West Tower.
When Brandark opens the door and Kelvin sees two sleeping goblins, he very quietly switches to his rapier, and tries to murder the little beast in his sleep.
Kelvin drives his Rapier into a sleeping Goblin. The Goblin goes from sleep to unconsciousness.
Kelvin then notices a sack under the stairs.
Brandark clumps over to the other sleeping goblin.
Brandark sends his Goblin to unconsciousness. You can finish them off now at your leisure.
There is another set of double doors to the north.
Taking the sack "we can look at this later. Up the stairs Brandark?"
Aye, we should look up, though I feel it will go to the roof. You are quieter than me, so if you don't mind to look. If there is a problem, give a holler, or come back down.
Brandark then Coup de Gras's his goblin, and moves to the one Kelvin stabbed.
Kelvin will notice that the sack has a vinegary aroma.
This tower is similar to the east tower. It has a flight of stairs up to a landing; then a ladder to a trap door.
The party will discover that the Tower above is empty. Its watchmen now dead on the ground floor.
Once Kelvin comes down, and looks over the door to the north, Brandark will open it up.
Elektra will make a quick sketch of the fort so far.
After coming down from upstairs, "all clear up there. North to the goblin dogs?" and Kelvin checks the double door to the north.
Kelvin doesn't hear anything directly beyond the doors, though the Goblin Dog's strange baying can be heard from the courtyard.
Kelvin does not find a trap or lock on this door.
When Brandark opens it, he discovers that it leads to yet another set of double doors.
Should we force that door? Brandark questions, while indicating the boarded up door.
I think the goblins nailed it shut to keep something in, and I think it might be the horse that they were talking about.

Wouldn't that be noisy and let everybody know we are here.And if it is the horse are we really in a position to be calming it down while also fighting whatever heard us not to mention who or what ever those snots might warn and bring with them. How about we kill all the little green headaches first. If it is the horse and it has held out this long a few more minutes should not make a difference. Plus what if it is not the horse and we have to fight it and the rest of the fort all at once. Stone will interject .
It might be noisy, but there are some risks that we have to take.
Looking at the exits, there is two sets of doors to the outside, and I think that the amount of noise will not be unusual in this place.
If it is the horse in there, you can be assured that there will be no goblins in there.
If it is not the horse, then I would rather it not at our backs.
"I agree Brandark. But we should be carefull, just to be on the safe side!"
"Let me get to work on this door". Kelvin pulls out his tools and starts fiddling around with the locked door.
After 3 minutes Kelvin manages to free the nails from the door.
When Brandark opens the door he finds a storeroom half-filled with crates, barrels, and large sacks of grain. A small hole has been chopped into the lower side of one of the barrels, allowing pickles and brine to drain out and giving the room a singular stink of vinegar.
The smell is very reminiscent to Kelvin of the smell of the sack he found under the stairs. A brief look inside the sack will discover that it is about one third filled with pickles.
Smelling the pickles from the barrel, Kelvin takes a look into the sack.
