"What do you think Eli?"

"I'll bet the key to open this lock is among one of these."
Eli stoops over the formerly pinned goblin, searching the two halves for the key and anything else of importance.
After Xazt's words, Carys looks even more convinced of his trustworthy character. Seeing that Lucas and Eli have his release from the cave, she retreats to the chair to continue flipping through the pages of her book.

Ariana walks up the the cage, and examines the lock, attempting to open it on her own.
Disable device:
Quickly righting the vials to prevent any others from spilling, Eli snatches up the ring of keys.
"Aha!" He raises and jingles the keys, looking up.
Seeing Ariana already fiddling with the lock, he subdues his excitement, and extends the ring of keys to her.

Taking the ring of keys, Ariana says, "Thank you, friend. I ought to have this open in no time."

Ariana tries key after key until, eventually, the lock opens with a loud click.
"Thank you, friends," the goblin says to everyone, while nodding to Eli and the woman who just released him. "I know that goblins like their keys and locks, we may want to hang on to that keyring just in case, you know?"
He then eagerly goes to the table to snag all of his items. Xazt seems to have gone into somewhat of a trance as he begins strapping on his leather vest and checking his things , placing them in their typical place on his body. A pouch or two on his belt, a backpack and bedroll off his back, and a crossbow strapped to the backpack, Xazt finally picks up his scimitar and hooks it to his belt. The glazed look in his eyes during this brief moment of concentration becomes a more fierce look as he suddenly unhooks his scimitar and brandishes it in a fashion that you might see a performer dance with an object.
Quickly, but only somewhat gracefully, sweeping the sword in circular motions around his body, the fierceness in his eyes calms just as he begins to re-sheath the weapon.
"Well, it may not be pretty yet, but just wait until there is an evil gobby in my path." Snickering to himself, Xazt points at the entry to the northern hallway. "I came conscious while entering through that direction. I'm not sure of the way out, but I'm guessing I know these goblins well enough that we could likely backtrack with a little patience."
"What sort of goblin are you? I've never seen one dance about with sword like that."
Grinning appreciatively, the goblin looks to the brawler. "It's not often my fighting style is recognized as unique. I like you. It's called the dervish dance. The more dexterous a dervish dancer may be, the more deadly. And just as important as the dancer's skill, is the blade itself. The curved scimitar, somewhat heavier in weight, allows a dancer to keep moving and slashing, building momentum as they go. It's really not for everyone, but we goblins are naturally very deft anyway."

Lucas gives Xazt an interested nod.
"Well, Shall we?"
Lucas raises his arms to indicate the passages they have not yet taken.
"Which way is out goblin? You said you knew the way."
Pointing toward the southern entrance, Xazt mentions, "I think that's the guards' quarters..." and then to the northern passage, "and that's the way out."
Suddenly, the goblin's eyes widen at a thought. "All this talk and I realized I never got all of your names. Being caged up does weird things to you."
"Lucas Tavington. That lady there is Ariana, the woman with the book is Carys, and you seem to have some understanding of Eli already."
At the sound of her name, Carys looks up, clearly oblivious to anything going on outside of her book.
"Have we decided which way to go?"
"North will take us out. I suggest we go north."
Eli nods and hefts his axe. He makes sure to fall in behind Xazt...just in case.
Also, has Eli solved his compy issues?
Yes he has!
Finally have it today!
Are we starting this up again?
Sorry for all the delays. Rick's trying to figure out a way to get the PBP on his work computer. He's really excited about it though! It will probably be a bit slow at fist while we figure out the best posting times. Hang in there a little bit more!
Woot!
Okay, everyone! What do you say we get this going again?
YEAH!
We're finally adjusting to life over here, and I think I have things figured out so that I can post from work.
So sorry it took so long! Sound off if you're ready to play/have thoughts about the game.
:) HURRAY!!!!
DO IT!!!!!!!!
Eli and Xazt?
They're both around. The keep forgetting to post. I know Xazt can still play. Im 80% on Eli.
Cool, cool. So are we ready to go, or should we wait for them?
Go Go!
"Agreed."
Toward Lucas and Xazt Lead the way
Lucas looks down at Xazt.
"Why don't you lead? You might give the others pause so we can attack first."
Smiling at the brawler, Xazt nods and begins to head down the north hallway. Not exactly rushing, but also not being too careful, Xazt briefly checks over his shoulder to see if the group is in-tow.
"I'll be watching you, Dancer. Lead the way."
After a glance to Ariana, Lucas, and Carys, Eli cautiously follows the goblin down the hallway, greataxe in hand. He furrows his brow in concentration as he listens ahead.
Lucas follows as quietly as possible.
Seeing the others crouch into a quieter posture, Xazt follows suit, also looking down the hallways.
