Round 0
Raif begins to enter the room, intent on requesting a parlay, when Vernon, whom had been guarding the door, allows the door to open, and for Raif to enter, then pops out and lashes at the unsuspecting foe with his bastard sword!

"I was just going to say that you have three of my mates," Raif says, hopping back, glancing down and noticing a light flow of blood seeping through the links in his chain mail. "You will pay for that," he says smugly, loosening his two handed sword from where it had been strapped behind his pack.

"You all will pay!" he sneers.

Junius tires of the sneering and lets fly a perfectly aimed shot toward the gang leader.
Shortbow [1d20+1] = 20+1 = 21; [1d6] = 3

Sacro follows, but with less success.

Vernon doesn't bother replying to the chatty brigand, instead, he raised his shield while lashing out with his bastard sword again. He is surprised as an arrow appears in Raif's chest.

Bastard Sword [1d20+1] = 17+1 = 18, dmg [1d8+1] = 2+1 = 3

Miss AdaRue Hanspitcher, midwife and devotee of the Mother, races forward toward Yara, lashing out with the mace she took from the dead goblins. With so many creatures trying to kill then in the world, she hates attacking humans, but these two were just trying to kill her friends in the other room.

Mace [1d20+1] = 16+1 = 17, dmg [1d6+1] = 3+1 = 4

"We're attacking people without provocation now?" wonders Horatio. "Cool!"

He keeps an eye on Dorick. "Guess it's time to show whose side you're really on, huh? Just remember: we split shares equally and no one claims to be able to boss the others around." He refrains from participating in the missile fire against Raif in case Dorick decides he'd rather fight for Raif after all.

If and only if Dorick attacks him:
Longsword (THAC0 19): [1d20+1] = 8+1 = 9 [1d8+1] = 5+1 = 6

~~~~~

"Stand down. You can't win," says Keebler. He watches Yara. If she makes a hostile move, he fires an arrow at her.

Long bow (THAC0 19): [1d20] = 11, [1d8] = 8

Round 1
Raif attempts to make good at his promise and brings his massive two-handed sword around at Vernon but fails to connect with a vicious slash.

Yara, assuming Rainey to be an obvious user of magic, successfully targets the mage with a tossed dagger that would have disrupted any casting attempt (if one were available), and manages to nearly drop the magic user.

Dorick does not show any hint of allegiances but hurries over and wakes Craimmar and Elowen; ignoring the calls from Horatio. He places a hand on each of his now woken companions' shoulders, keeping them down, and leans in and whispers something to each of them.

The aggressive act by Yara triggers a response from Keebler. While his accuracy was less than perfect, he still manages to hit his moving target -- the arrow sinks deep and sends the rogue toppling over, landing in an unmoving and bloody pile. AdaRue makes certain the fall isn't an act and clubs Yara with a mace with a loud tunk.

Junius with his bow, and Vernon with his blade, both manage to strike Raif, who stumbles and manages to cling to life.... until Canun, with a clumsy but near perfect mace strike, eliminates Raif as a threat.

Dorick, Craimmar, and Elowen, with their leader down, remain on the ground, not brandishing any weapons, awaiting their fates.

Canun wipes the gore from his mace on Raif's robe. "And that's" he calls gleefully "how you kill the bad guy."

I hereby commission Dave to do all of my rolls :lol:

Canun quickly searches Raif's body for belongings, calling over his shoulder to Dorick and his buddies. "We're nice, and we're bad-ass too. I'm fine if you fight by our side."

Junius likewise searches the belongings of Yara.

Sacro stands guard over the others, but also awaits their answer with no ill feelings.

Indeed, it is! Vernon smiles and offers Canun a high five, and Junius a not-as-high five, knowing it was his excellent swordsmanship that had weakened Raif enough for the others to finish the ruffian. He closes the door again, blocking it with Raif's dead body. He asks to inspect Raif's sword, swinging it a bit, wondering if it is magical. Once done, he begins watching the door again. This time more more closely and carefully, intending that no one actually be allowed to enter the room.For all his talk, Raif wasn't so tough. Or maybe he was just used to picking fights with goblins...

is there a lock on it?

AdaRue tends to Rainey's wounds, binding them.I'm sorry, but I don't have any more healing prayers today. She says a prayer over both Yara's and Raif's bodies.

AdaRue objects to freeing more of the prisoners. Not yet, anyhow. A few hours ago they were trying to kill us. How do we know we can trust them? That one certainly didn't just step up, did he? She recommends binding and gagging Dorick again and allowing the party to rest to regain spells.

"Yeah, make sure they're all tied up," Horatio says. He scowls at Dorick. "You blew your chance to prove yourself. If you're lucky, we'll drag your useless ass back to town for them to decide what to do with you. If you aren't...well." He shrugs and grins.

Junius asks the prisoners,
How many goblins do you think are still down here?
Knowing they are now gagged, he counts higher or lower and follows their grunts.

Q&A
Junius asks Dorick, Craimmar, and Elowen how many goblins they suspect are ahead, but the bound and gagged prisoners apparently have no idea, or are not in a cooperative mood, as they struggle with their binds naturally but do not give off any meaningful clues.

Unwilling to be in a room with the dead, AdaRue drags Raif and Yara into the small torture chamber and pulls the door closed, blocking them from view. She asks the prisoners which of them have spells available. She looks meaningfully at Ellowen and Cranmar, believing one of them to be a cleric. If you have a healing spell or two, it would be appreciated.

Vernon continues to look for a way to watch/lock the door. He spikes the door with two spikes. He points out he wouldn't mind resting before continuing.Been a long day already, what with talking skeletons, wolves and those slug-things.

IIRC, this room is within another room. If so, he will spike the outer door, too - also with 2 spikes.

If the outer doors are breached, we can hide in the torture chamber, dragging the dead into the room we are currently in. Hopefully the goblins will think Raif and Yara barred themselves in after being injured.

"So, you got a choice," says Horatio, pacing in front of the prisoners. "Dorick here screwed up his last choice, but maybe you can redeem yourselves. Tell us what you know, and you get to avail yourselves of the tender mercies of the Brighton justice system. Refuse to cooperate with us, and your bodies will rot in this cave. What's it gonna be?"

I never heard of anyone being foolish enough to stick around Brighton after the were banished, so I don't know that there's any reward for turning folks in. Noting a look of confusion from a few folks, Vernon adds, It makes no difference to our purses if they're ever seen again, is what I'm saying.


AdaRue stays silent, wondering if this is a ruse, or if Horatio and Vernon are really likely to murder these prisoners.

"There's another option, if these three shits won't be cooperative" Canun adds excitedly, and loudly enough for the captives to hear. "They've killed a lot of goblins, right? The goblins will want revenge, right? Well, look at how the goblins tortured the crappy fighters from Brighton.
I'm sure they'd love to do the same to these three. I say we offer to sell 'em to the goblins. Let them have their way with 'em."


Canun grows more fond of his idea as he speaks. "Yeah, we leave a note on Raif's body. Name our price, and we leave the prisoners here. We get rich and Brighton loses its traitors. It's a win-win. Of course, we can come back later and kill the goblins and take all their stuff if we want!"

Q&A
While AdaRue works to clear the room of dead bodies, dragging Raif and Yara into the torture chamber, Vernon spikes closed both sets of doors leading into the room the group is in.

"So, you got a choice," says Horatio, pacing in front of the prisoners. "Dorick here screwed up his last choice, but maybe you can redeem yourselves. Tell us what you know, and you get to avail yourselves of the tender mercies of the Brighton justice system. Refuse to cooperate with us, and your bodies will rot in this cave."

"What's it gonna be?"


Dorick, Craimmar, and Elowen, still bound and gagged, make no effort to respond to Horatio's threats. AdaRue, freshly returned from transplanting the bodies, looks meaningfully at Craimmar and Elowen, asking which of them have any healing spells. AdaRue believes she notices the eyes of Dorick and Craimmar briefly glance in Elowen's direction, but she can't be sure. Elowen moves her jaw, as if efforting to speak, but her gags prevent any meaningful sound from escaping.

"There's another option," Canun interjects, loudly enough for the captives to hear. "If these three shits won't be cooperative," he continues. "They've killed a lot of goblins, right? The goblins will want revenge, right? Well, look at how the goblins tortured the crappy fighters from Brighton. I'm sure they'd love to do the same to these three. I say we offer to sell 'em to the goblins. Let them have their way with 'em."

The cleric's plan appears to make the prisoners nervous, but they remain uncooperative in their bound and gagged condition.

Horatio pulls the gag from Elowen's mouth. "Got something to say?" he asks. He holds his sword nonchalantly near his waist. "Speak in common, please. We wouldn't want a hole in your neck because I thought you were trying to cast a spell on us, would we?"
