Not sure what the status of this game is currently, but just fyi, I am going to be travelling out of the country later today until August 9th. If things pick up again, feel free to bot me or skip me as necessary.

I'm still around and checking, although every game I am in seems to have gone worryingly quiet over the last few weeks and I am going to be disappearing for a vacation in about in week. I know the GM had some personal stuff going on, so I am hoping that things will pick up again eventually. However, I guess we can only wait and see.
Sheathing her rapier, Nariella turn and walks back to the hostage. Still in mission mode from the stressful past few minutes, Nariella instinctively answers his question with a military formality. "You were captured by goblins. We are in their cave now, but they have all been dealt with. We were hired to guard Gundren's wagon and we came here looking for him when we found your caravan overturned on the road. Any information you could provide..." Starting to calm down, Nariella trails off, realizing how unsympathetic she is being. This man has probably been through hell... Nariella thinks as she looks over his wounds.
"...But before we start with the questions. Are you okay, sir? Do you need anything? Taking her backpack off and rummaging through it, she gets out her waterskin and offers it to the man. "We have food too, if you feel able to eat."
Sorry to hear you are having a rough time. Take you time and thanks for keeping us posted.
Nariella moves towards the remaining goblins and fires.
Nariella focuses fire on the leader, hoping to take him down quickly.
Nariella moves to strike the nearest creature.
Suspicious of the hooded man, Nariella tries to get a feel for the situation.
Paranoia Fueled Actions: I can't let the goblins reach them... Nariella slinks backwards towards Arrius, before jumping the goblins with the hostage.
Trying to get the piece of sand that flew into her eye when the water hit, Nariella waits quietly, with her weapon ready.
While everyone is talking, Nariella moves around the bend to get a better look at their numbers.
Nariella nods at Torbin and begins moving around the bend.
"Are you alright?", Nariella whispers to Arrius when he returns, as she draws her weapon and prepares for the goblins.
Nariella replies, "If you are concerned about visibility we can follow the creek, since I don't think its wise to split up right now."
"Yes. Lets move forward, cautiously." Nariella whispers back, taking a scouting position near the front.
Taking advantage of the fact the wolf is distracted by Torbin and Peren, Nariella moves in and tries to knock the wolf out.
Not wanting to get to close, Nariella fires at the wolves with her shortbow.
"I have no objections." Nariella replies, matter of factly. "However, if you are uncomfortable with causing undue harm, perhaps we can aim to merely knock them out?"
"Ah right, yes, yes. That's how it goes...now I remember..." Nariella mutters as watches Arrius tie the goblin. Insight DC13:
She is trying to save face, but she had no idea what she was doing and is now rather embarrassed. Nariella over enthusiastically remarks, "Well, I'm ready to move on. Is everyone else ready to move on?" Of course they are ready you clod. They were waiting on you and that rope... "Yes? Let's...er...go...then..."
Nariella tries to tie the goblin to a nearby tree. However, she seems a litte lost. Their heads are so big...but their bodies are so small. How do I...? She loosely wraps the rope around once and then places a lose end on his shoulder and tucks it behind him, like it's going to do something.
Nariella nods and says, "Fair enough.." She begins searching her pack for rope, while they wait for the goblin to answer Torbin's questions.
As Torbin is talking with the goblin, Nariella asks the others, "What do we want to do with this guy when Torbin's done? Do you think its worth bringing him or should we tie him up out here?"
Nariella nods, saying, "I agree. I don't think we can consider this a random goblin raid anymore. There's a bigger picture and I would like to see a little more of it, before I go charging a fortress. I also vote that we see what we can find while we are already here..."
Nariella contemplates for a second, before saying, "Its a dangerous mission, no doubt...but if Gundren is being traded around by these creatures, instead of just killed, there is no doubt a reason...Klarg and this human can probably answer that question a lot better than some random goblin guard..."
Nariella seems distracted from the interrogation, as she stares intently into the mouth of the cave. Her eyes widen a little as she hears the snarling. "There's something in there..." she mutters to herself. Grabbing her bow again and backing away from the mouth of the cave, she repeats herself, this time loud enough for her companions to hear. "There's something in there...a creature in the cave. Didn't sound like any goblin I ever heard..."
"Careful. There could be more around..." Nariella mutters as she cautiously examines her surroundings.
Gesturing to the groaning goblin, she asks Torbin, "You can speak their language, right? Perhaps he knows something about Gundren and the caravan?"
Nariella quickly nocks another arrow and aims for the nearest goblin.
Nariella takes a moment to consider her shot. We'll want at least one alive if we hope to learn anything... Aiming to incapacitate the nearest goblin, she tries to shoot him in the leg.
Nariella signals back to Torbin and Peren, holding up four fingers and then pointing into the cave. Waiting for further indication from her companions, she holds her rapier at the ready and attempts to stay hidden from the goblins.
Nariella shrugs and remarks, "It's up to you. You certainly weren't a liability last time." Contemplating possible contingencies for a moment, she adds, "Just a heads up, though. If get noticed I am probably going to just run back this way. If you come, I suggest you do the same. If we are lucky, only a few will follow and we can pick them off as a group." Nariella moves carefully towards the smoke, trying to stay behind the trees.
Yeah, for whatever reason Paizo was not letting me post my survival roll last night. I must have tried to post in gameplay 10 different times. I think I tried posting in discussion to see if it would take. I thought it didn't work, but I guess it did...haha. I finally got it to post today by adding gibberish and then editing it out. Also, side note: If 10 different survival checks of 19 show up in gameplay, I apologize.

"Right. We shouldn't delay. Is everyone ready to head out?" Nariella asks, as she finishes her breakfast.
Nariella gives Arrius a shrug as she helps herself some of the cheese and bread. However, she seems to be listening to the conversation with interest.
Yikes...sounds like a rough time...
Nariella contemplates adding more money to the pile, but decides against it. The mercenaries just wanted him to have more than silver. He should have more than enough if they come again...in fact giving him too much could cause the mercenaries to expect more from him in the future. If we aren't able to deal with them, we could end up doing more harm than good... She gives Arrius and Peren a nod of respect and hands the innkeeper five silver pieces for the room, "This is all I can pay at the moment...but when more debt come due, I will be ready to pay what is owed..." She gives the man a wink, hoping he understands her implication.
"We can try..." Nariella says, seeming appreciative that Arrius wants to help, but not too hopeful. "However, I'm not sure that they will be willing to accept honest work. These types are likely to rob us...or at least try to...for even admitting we have money on us..."
"Of course. I know that. Gundren's the priority," Nariella replies, saying the words to herself, as much as she is saying them to Peren. "A room for me too, sir..." Nariella asks the innkeeper, as thoughts still weighing heavily on her mind. I suppose filling their coffers will keep them safe, for now...but what good is it, when these scum are only going to empty them...
Nariella stands at the desk awkwardly as the couple argues, until something catches her ear. "Wait a second! Are you telling me that these mercenaries have killed people!?!" she interrupts with a hushed, but angry tone. "...and the townmaster still does nothing?" Nariella breathes heavily, looking from Peren to Arrius, as if she is contemplating something very rash, but trying to control herself.
