Victory again!
With a grimmace, Brandark somehow manages to stop his axe from striking home on the last goblin.
What should we do with this one He asks while resting the blade of his axe on the goblins neck.
Speaking in a very broken Common, "Podthickle can helo Longshanks I can." the little Goblin smiles up at Brandark. Several of the Goblin's top teeth are evenly broken. " I have a strong back. Carry many things for Longshanks,' he will take a frightful glance at the Waraxe positioned at his neck.
"What's a den-i-zen?," Podthickle questions. "But Podthickle not allowed in lower-level," the strange but somehow different little Goblin responds.
Brandark saws lightly on Podthistles neck.
Answer them. . .
"Podthickle not like other Goblins. Podthickle does not like taste of Longshanks. Dog is tasty," the little Goblin quickly wanders off topic, but quickly recovers when Brandark performs a little sawing action with the blade of his Waraxe. "Ouch. That hurts. There is big Bugbear. He hates longeared Longshanks. He now has Ripnugget's Harem. I too would like Ripnugget's Harem," the little Goblin begins to wander again.
After Brandark, not so subtly, reminds him to stay on task, "There are other Longshanks. Only see big male with scary face shield. Never seen female Longshanks. But others have. One is dark. The other is light. The light one has arm like demon. Other Goblins scared of this Longshanks. But other Goblins now dead. I guess no longer scared of Longshanks."
"A bugbear, a male, 2 female. At least we know who is behind this situation. Well lead us to the harem, we start with the bugbear. Come on, lead us little goblin!"
Brandark roughly shifts the goblin to Elektra's care.
Let him know if he runs, he will not make it.
Podthickle looks up at the pretty long-eared Longshanks, "Podthickle thinks Bugbear comes up from these stairs." The little Goblin leads the party toward the front stairs.
Brandark hoists his shield, and slowly starts to make his way down the stairs.
Brandark waits until Kelvin checks the door, and then pulls his spike out.
Brandark then hoists his shield, and slowly starts to make his way down the stairs.
The door is not open. Brandark will need to remove his spikes. Kelvin has already checked the door for traps; and there is none.
In goblin to Podthickle, Kelvin (and he translates for the group), "if you do bad, I will kill you slowly." then turning to Brandark, "let me lead the way down, and you keep a close look on our "friend" here." and he heads to the door heading down.
Podthickle frowns at Kelvin, "Podthickle not be bad."
The bottom of the stair appears to just open up into a room.
Garrath follows at the rear of the group, keeping an eye open for anything coming up from behind. "This place is old, yes? Probably lots of places for nasty things to hide in wait for us. Keep an eye out for hidden doors and tricks."
Putting a hand to his ear, then pointing down the hall, Kelvin signals that he hears something. He signals Brandark to hold up a moment as he sneaks forward.
At Kelvins signal, Bradark pauses and waits to see what Kelvin does.
A single lantern hangs from a hook on the wall next to where the stairs enter this room from the north. Several rickety doors open into this room, and a few discarded dog pelt rugs lie forgotten in the northeast corner. Kelvin sees three hideous Goblin women, the stink of Goblin sweat and a foul perfume invades your nostrils. A big Bugbear, with an impressive looking longbow, appears to be directing the Goblin women. Kelvin will be repulsed when he notices that the Bugbear has a necklace of Elven ears around his neck.
Round One
Kelvin steps onto the floor and shoots the none harem girl.
Brandark goes lumbering in and at an angle There is one hard right He yells
He then lumbers up and attacks
Garrath rushes down the stairs, pausing only momentarily at the revolting sight of the goblin women, and nearly retching when he sees the Bugbear, and realizes that this is that foul creatures harem. Gods PLEASE don't let them have been breeding He comes to a stop near one of the "women" and thrusts his greatsword at the hideous creature, attempting to skewer her.
As the Bugbear sees the party rushing down the stairs, he moves into an open door that appears to be a hallway heading West, "Orik!"
The Bugbear knocks and arrow and sends it toward the big Shoanti Human. But the shot sails way over Garrath's head.
As the party enters the room they can see an open door to the South. Other Goblin women can be seen in the room.
