Chapter 11: Anxiously Contemplating the Hobgoblins!

[PyroArrow]

eh ? how did Wolfram get teleported 30 ft forward ? Maybe Tenebaum's mace is more magic than he thought ? Exciting....

I can move Wolfram back if you want, especially if you want him throwing more throwing axes if he has more.

[Nordbo]

affirmative, I would like that Wolfram was moved back to where I last left him (unless, of course, he was eg magically transported across the room ?). Many thanks

As Lutha has at least 4 rows of friends between him and the enemy, he daren't swing his sling at this point.
Spotting concealed door without actively searching 1 in 6: [1d6] = 6

Wolfram also feels that throwing axes at hobgoblins in a line that goes straight through Sister Opal and Kormak would be an aerodynamically unsound idea, and therefore abstains.

[PyroArrow]

Dungeon Master:

After the party finished off the Hobgolins in this obvious Torture Chamber the party takes note of several humanoids in manacles along the north & south walls:

1) a plump looking bald human male, stripped naked

2) an Orc fellow

3) A young looking boy with a nasty head wound

4) a normal looking female with a bald head, stripped naked, with a Heretic's Fork attached to her throat

5) a Gnoll

6) a young man also with a head wound

7) a human male

8) a human male

In this room you seen an iron maiden & a spiked torture chair & a Rack.

On the table are various other torture implements:
a neck torture device (round with spikes on the inside)
a Lead Sprinkler (Molten lead or silver, boiling oil or water or tar is used)
Thumbscrew
Tongue Tearer
Breast Ripper
Crocodile Shears
Pear of Anguish
Head Crusher
Knee Splitter

[Nordbo]

Lutha Cee

quickly looks over the chained prisoners: can he see if anyone of them is Luna Cee ?

If not, he will bellow out in an authoritative yet, of course, non-threatening voice: "Has anyone seen a magician that looks like me ? Or heard of a man called Luna ?"

He then repeats the question in Gnoll language, for the benefit of the chained gnoll prisoner.

[PyroArrow]

Dungeon Master:

As Lutha Cee says that to the prisoners,

One with a nasty head wound says, "Aahhh, i'm over here, Lutha."

[GreyWolfVT]

Mort goes over and removes the implements of torture and tries to remove the chains.

Kormak searches the dead hobgoblins.

[Pulpatoon]

Idonea and Ewat begin doing their best to free the prisoners, saving the orc and gnoll for last.

Idonea: "You're safe, now. We'll have you out of here in a moment, and bring you to the Keep. Are any of you well enough to speak? Can you tell us your names and how you came here?"

[PyroArrow]

Dungeon Master:

The Young Lad says,

" I am Oddrick, this is Luna Cee, Stormbrow Okenfell & Durgan Lightwater. "

" There were others, in my party, something about they were being prepared as warriors for the Hidden Temple. "
The Plump old guy says,

" I am Mikel Kmartie & this is my wife Sasha. "

" You have arrived in timely fashion as my wife & I were to be tonight's dinner for these foul beasts. "

" I had 2 guards with me, like, with what Oddrick said, they were taken to be prepared for the Hidden Temple. "

[AlToMi]

Borum will help Mort remove any torture devices still on prisoners and strip enough hobgoblins to dress the naked prisoners. Whispering to those near him "Should we arm them?" He also checks to see if anyone is on their death bed,

Wexley will watch the halls for anyone trying to sneak up behind them.
