If the door is sufficiently large for a Large creature:
Kugrim motions for the party to pause. He mutters some arcane words and then grows to immense proportions. Otherwise: Kugrim impatiently motions the party forward.
"I won't worry too much about it. Strange things happen to all of us during combat. I, for one, tend to grow to immense size." If mage armor has worn off:
Kugrim readies his longspear and says: "Hold up just a second, Montaign, dei me panoplian! Now, I'm ready!" If mage armor is still in effect: Kugrim readies his longspear and says: "Let's go."
"It is the duty of those who can fight to do it...so that those who cannot, do not have to."
Kugrim dismisses his spell so that he fits on the horse, and then remounts. "Let's go!"
Kugrim brings his horsechopper down on the goblin next to Strife. He almost clips Strife in the top of the head on the way by.
Having reached giant size, Kugrim lumbers around his horse and brings his horsechopper down on one of the goblins.
Seeing that he isn't going to be able to escape on his horse, Kugrim begins casting a spell.
"Can you tell what direction the voices are coming from? For all I know, they're between us and town."
"Goblins! They're coming for us! Everybody get ready," Kugrim yells as he chants a spell.
Kugrim looks around to try and find the source of the noise.
"Perhaps you could get ahold of a fancier horsechopper for me? I was tempted by one of the ones we looted, but it's too small for me. I would also like some acid and alchemist's fire, if you have it available. Maybe some tanglefoot bags..."
"Alright, let's go."
"Magic is useful, but so are sharp things." Kugrim finishes his dinner, bids the party goodnight, and retires for the evening.
"Fair enough. Food it is."
Kugrim nods his head at Shalelu as she hands the gold to Tavius. "Thank you." After she leaves, he turns to his companions and says, "If we are to help with this...situation, it would be a good idea for us to be prepared. We should sell what we took from the goblins, add it to what we were just given, and buy supplies for ourselves."
Kugrim swings his horsechopper at the boar as hard as he can and then steps back, daring the boar to close with him again.
Kugrim taps Tavius on the back hard and then readies his longspear.
Kugrim makes sure that his mage armor is still in place and then says, "Aye, it's strange, but there's nothing to do about it but keep going."
"If it attacks, it dies."
Kugrim smiles. "Allow me to amend my statement. Anything that will actually show up, not anything Tavius might make up to pull our leg."
You awarding XP for the bat reminded me: did we get XP for the skeletons?
Kugrim wipes the blood off his horsechopper. "Don't worry about it too much, Tarnish. We can dispatch whatever shows up."
Kugrim attempts to chop the bat in half.
Kugrim yells, "AARGH!"
Kugrim follows Tarnish and Strife.
Kugrim smiles at Strife. "I understood the general concept but not the specific application. I should have been more specific and said, 'To which two birds do you refer?'Thank you for your list of possibilities, however. Sheriff, were those more or less the lines along which you were thinking?"
"Certainly, you may count upon my discretion, but--if it's not too forward--what do you mean 'two birds, one stone'?"
Kugrim moves up beside Tavius, chanting a spell as he goes.
"Let me go first. I can actually see better without the lantern. Can any of the rest of you see in the dark?" With those words, he begins chanting a spell.
"If there is a goblin defiling the honored shaman's final abode, he will be needing one of his own before the sun sets!"
"Interesting. Truly, our peoples must be quite different if this works for you. I think I could grow fond of it, however."
"I'm sure I will eventually figure out how this bizarre society of yours functions. But, in the meantime, we must go see this 'sheriff' at once."
Kugrim looks at Tarnish as though he'd just stepped out of a portal to another plane. "The leader of your enforcers isn't in charge? Then who is? Somebody must be; otherwise you would be as wantonly destructive as those intruders yesterday. The only thing that keeps bedlam from occurring is the iron fists of law and duty. Who wields the fists in this town?"
Kugrim replies to Tavius: "I wouldn't have thought so, but I have to admit that I'm not the fairest judge when it comes to goblins." _______ When Ameiko suggests visiting the sheriff, Kugrim says: "I care not for thanks, but it's always prudent to report to one's commanding officer in times like this. He is the leader of your people, is he not? More intelligence never hurt, either. I fear we have not heard the last of my ill-mannered 'cousins.'" He spits the last word.
"I have observed the goblins around here often and 'focus' is not a trait I would usually impute to them. There's something afoot." After he finishes eating, Kugrim turns to Amieko and says, "Thank you for the food and lodging. Defending the town was no more than my duty; your generosity is appreciated."
Kugrim quickly steps behind the remaining goblin and uppercuts him with his cestus-containing hand.
Kugrim begins to carefully step around the goblin that attacked him as he lashes out at the goblin commando's legs with his horsechopper.
Kugrim rushes ahead, closing with goblin commando and another of his comrades. He swings his horsechopper at the goblin commando, trying to emulate the commando's attack on the dog.
"It may not be your duty, but it is mine. As for why, that's a longer story than we have time for right now. You don't have to come along, but I'm defending these people whether it's smart or not."
"You're probably right. Nonetheless, duty is duty."
I've got a feeling that there might be more trouble. Kugrim starts chanting and waving his hands as he heads towards the howling.
Kugrim swings his horsechopper mightily at the goblin in front of him.
"AARGH!!!!! Stand still and fight!"
Kugrim moves around the table and moves to a point from which he can reach two of the goblins. He lashes out at one of them with his horsechopper.
Seeing that the goblin in front of him apparently considers him of no consequence, Kugrim snarls: "Ignoring me? Poor choice, cousin". He steps back in order to have the room to use his horsechopper effectively, then swings it at the goblin.
