Next Steps
"Aw, man. You suck at torture," Horatio grouses at Canun. "Didn't anyone ever tell you that the first rule of torture is not to kill what you're torturing? And I was gonna try out some of those implements on him, too." the thief says, speaking evil intentions. "Well, I guess we better get these fine people back to their homes and all that," he sighs. "I guess I don't know my own strength" Canun replies in a rare apologetic tone as he flexes and admires his forearms. "You can have first dibs on the next one."

Rainey finishes his inspection of the door and the lock -- pocketing the torturer's key and one of the glass vials containing the red liquid -- when Canun asks him if he thinks the mutated head of the goblin mutant would be useful for magical purposes. "Maybe we should take it with us?" the cleric wonders aloud, securing one of the vials of red liquid for himself... as well as claiming the pouch with all the gold coins.

At Canun's urging, Rainey does take a few moments to study the torturer. The goblin mutant is larger -- almost human-sized -- with a hunched frame. It has bony growths growing out in multiple directions, which the mage suspects might have been where extra appendages were meant to grow, but never did. Or not. The limp second head, which is about the size of a closed fist, sprouts out from where its neck meets its shoulder. It is entirely possible that someone would be interested in studying its remains, for scientific or research purposes, but finding that person would probably prove difficult. You strongly suspect no one in Brighton, especially considering the blight they're still fighting, would be a suitable partner.

Rainey's torch officially reaches its end and flickers out.

"Time for our triumphant return to town!" Canun boasts.

I'm going to assume that one of the vials with the red liquid will will be distributed to each of Sacro, Rainey, and Canun.


Also, I will update again to reflect your return to Brighton with the prisoners over the weekend. If there's anything you will want to accomplish in Brighton (e.g. restock rations, light supplies, ammunition, etc...) during your layover, feel free to discuss those intentions here, now.

AdaRue asks the prisoners where each of them hail from to pass the time, wondering if the are all from Brighton. She also asks what information they might have about the place. I know you all might prefer to forget everything about these tunnels, but we intend to return here and root out these goblins and their plague. Anything you recall seeing or hearing will be of great use. Once she is aware of it, she asks what the red liquid might be, suspecting they are healing potions used to keep the poor men alive

Dimly concurs that we should escort the prisoners to Brighton, where they can receive better care.
