Chapter 05: The depths of despair

[GreyWolfVT]

Korin smiles 'There be a reason I don't speak the language Jacob." and as if knowing his cue puts his dagger back and does as Jacob suggests taking out his battle axe and lobbing off the goblins head as was suggested to be killed per jacob and then takes the dagger out and cuts the ropes freeing the other. "An what about tha dog?"

[Dram]

Ox- Uh we are just going to let that go?? So it can run back to its boss? Then we will have every goblin in here hunting us?

L bow atk
L Bow to hit [1d20+2] = 9+2 = 11, to Dam[1d6+1] = 3+1 = 4

[Nordbo]

So that I understand previous post correctly: Is Ox firing his bow at the goblin that Jacob sets free ?

[GreyWolfVT]

if he's not Korin will.

[MonkeyWrench]

will respond with Jacob's reaction when the goblin is killed or not

[Nordbo]

Norbold points at the the released goblin fleeing back into the corridor from which the goblin attackers came, and exclaims "Oh no, now he" but is once again cut off verbally by that unknown force which currently envelops him.

Ox' arrow shot just misses the goblin. But <bang!> The party hear the goblin run straight into the war standard that the other goblin had jammed across the passage. It bumps its head, falls on its bum, groans, then tries to get up again.

[MonkeyWrench]

Jacob sighs, "They always try to run..." Then then flings his hidden dagger out towards the scrambling goblin...

Dagger (Thrown): [1d20+2] = 7+2 = 9, Damage: S/M[1d4] = 1, L[1d3] = 3

[Nordbo]

Jacob's dagger ricochets off the corridor wall and ends up buried somewhere in the folds of the war standard. The goblin dives under the standard and disappears into the darkness. A door slams somewhere.

All goes quiet after the migrained goblin that Korin beheaded perishes. The party is standing in the middle of the room, among the bloody remnants of 8 goblins and one war dog. The musty cave air is tarnished with the stench of violent death.

[MonkeyWrench]

Jacob looks to the others, shrugging, "So... What now?" after a moment he begins walking towards the corridor, "I need to find my dagger..."

[GreyWolfVT]

I never got a chance to react to the fleeing one i failed to post my attack in my last post.

Rewind before Jacob throws the dagger.
Korin throws his hand axe at the fleeing goblin or attempts to. Hand/Throwing Axe [1d20 +1] = 4+1 = 5 to hit [1d6 +3] = 2+3 = 5 s/m dmg
very well then even the dice roller didn't want that one to die.

[Dram]

Ox- We best be moving out of here? Were going to get a lot of company soon. Do we head out of here or find someplace to hide away from here?



Lucky little devil. 3 attacks and 3 misses. I think the Die roller needs to cleaned.

[Nordbo]

Norbold

although struggling with a 4-word communication limit, confidently suggests: "But we got them!" points to all the corpses.

"It prov we can!"

"Can take on more!"

[GreyWolfVT]

Korin "But we. Prov More Kill. Bwahahahaha haha ha! Just messin wit ya."

[Nordbo]

Norbold

getting even more frustrated but trying to keep his temper in check. First calming himself with a deep breath he then spells out carefully to Korin and the others, like speaking to a 4-year old:

"....Go out, we lose."

Marked pause.

"Go in, we win"

Points down the corridor.

[GreyWolfVT]

Korin "We know that ya dolt." the dwarf fetches his hand axe and goes in after the fleeing goblin.

[Dram]

Ox- Is on Korins heel following closely behind him. He motions to Jacob and Norbold to follow.Lets find this princess. We beat be alert they are probably waiting for us.

[Nordbo]

The war banner jammed across the corridor the group is entering. How to get past it ?

It's just a banner.

Korin takes out his axe and chops away at the banner.

[Nordbo]

Korin chops the banner in half and clears the way. Jacob's dagger, that was caught in the fabric, clatters to the floor. Straight ahead is the door to the 'barricaded room' where the group camped last night. In this corridor, all evidence of yesterday's fight with goblins and a zombie cleaner are gone.
Round the corner to the right, a passage the group has been down before.

Ox- We will go left. Be ready.
