Chapter 02: Aquifers & anaglyphs

[sastaz]

After having looked into the easter corridor, Thorelf just stares at his comrades, gaping, apparently letting this thing play itself out.

[Nordbo]

The three standing surrendered goblins, upon seeing Korin and Tiny suddenly waving their weapons against imaginary enemies, and seeing that Thorelf has disappeared into the next corridor, quickly realise that as now there is only one person (Eaton) guarding them, they will exploit this opportunity and make a run for it.

The three standing goblins quickly rush past the trio and out of the 'northern' door (into the hall where the zombie was burned), all while Thorelf comes back into the goblin room from the 'eastern' 'western' passage.

Remaining in the room is the hobgoblin that tackled Tiny but fell. He made an attempt to rise and follow the three goblins out but is much slower: by the time he was able to get up on his legs, the three others were already gone. He is still unarmed.
Somewhere, the flapping creature is still hiding. The fire is still burning. All remanining goblinoids' weapons lie safely pushed to one side.

Actions!

[Gebex]

Eaton

Dear Hobgoblin, that was a bad decision.

Eaton hits the last Hobgoblin.

[1d20+1]=13+1=14


[1d6+2]=3+2=5

[Rex]

Tiny

Tiny attacks the hobgoblin.

Two-Handed Sword [1d20+3]=18+3=21 to hit [1d10+6]=7+6=13 damage

[GreyWolfVT]

Korin tries to take the hobgob down.
Longsword [1d20-2]=3-2=1 to hit [1d6]=5 dmg

[Nordbo]

Eaton, Tiny and Korin collaborate in over-killing an unarmed hobgoblin whose only act was to get up from its lying down position.

No living goblinoids remain in the room. In which direction the three goblins that fled continued after they left this room through the 'northern' door, you were too busy too observe.

The swooshing rustling sound although faint, can still be heard through the 'north' door opening.

Actions!

[sastaz]

Thorelf just stands there gaping for a few seconds as the mangled body of the hobgoglin hits the floor with a *thud*.

He then swoops up the weapons the goblins dropped and sets off through the eastern door, which he just checked.

"C'mon, we can't stay here, we have to keep moving or we are easily found, let's go!"

[Rex]

Tiny

Tiny will look for any of the following, taking any he finds. Short sword, dagger and/or throwing axe.

He then follows Thorelf.

[Gebex]

Eaton

Walks slowly to the east exit trying to find valuables along the way.

[1d20]=4

[GreyWolfVT]

Korin waits to see what is found on the hobgoblin if nothing he can use he will wait and see what the others do and follow.

[Nordbo]

Ahem, sorry guys, going into super-specific mode now

Thorelf (...) swoops up the weapons the goblins dropped and sets off through the eastern door

That equals two maces and two longswords = 320 gp / 32# weight which will reduce Thorelf's movement rate to 9" - please adjust character sheet accordingly. Also pls remove (thrown away) dagger.

Tiny will look for any of the following, taking any he finds. Short sword, dagger and/or throwing axe.

Where, or in/under/behind what will Tiny look for such items, and how thoroughly ? A general search of this kind of room cluttered with chaotic jumble (see earlier descriptions) will take 1 turn per 20'x20' area - while a detailed search takes 2 turns per 20'x20'. The room is 40'x30'.

Korin waits to see what is found on the hobgoblin

by whom ? And on which hobgoblin.

Eaton walks slowly to the east exit trying to find valuables along the way.

the only thing lying in his way on the floor when walking towards the western door is one of the previously mentioned 5 mattresses.

[Rex]

Tiny

Tiny is just going to check the goblins/hobgoblins and the weapons he kicked aside earlier. Just quick like, looking at the obvious places for those type weapons. Belt. boots (daggers) or the piles he slid away earlier.

[GreyWolfVT]

Korin who thought Tiny and Thorelf were searching the dead hobgoblins takes it upon himself now to do grumbling the entire time.

[Gebex]

Eaton

Looks out through the east exit. Trying to see the creatures.

[Nordbo]

Tiny and Korin share the duty of searching the goblinoid bodies. The hobgoblin that Tiny searches, was carrying 216 gp and 15 cp.
The hobgoblin Korin checked had 172 gp and 14 cp in his pockets.
Finally, the single dead goblin carried 10 sp.
(Thorelf had already picked up all their remaining weapons).

Eaton peers into the same eastern 'western' passage that Thorelf had looked into - but no creatures there.

[Rex]

Tiny

Tiny pockets the coins for now and follows Thorelf.

[Gebex]

Eaton

Hmmm, I wonder if the illusion was some kind of a trap or if there is some evil illusionist moving in the shadows.

Be cautious around here.

[GreyWolfVT]

Korin takes the coins he found and joins the others.

[Rex]

Tiny

"I found some coins but nothing useful at the moment."

[Nordbo]

Thorelf

has picked up two maces and two (long) swords (pls update character sheet inventory & movement rate) and has urged the group to go away from here.

Tiny

pockets the 216 gp and 15 cp (pls add this amount to your character sheet) and follows Thorelf.

Korin

bags the 172 gp and 14 cp (pls add this amount to your character sheet) and joins the others.

Who took the 10 sp. off the dead goblin ?

Eaton

proposes that some kind of illusion has been encountered.

All four are presently standing in the debris-cluttered 'goblinoids gathered around a fire' room, 'south' of the 'burned undead hall with floor symbols'. Double doors are open 'northwards' to the 'undead hall' and 'westwards' to a passage that Thorelf briefly looked into.
