Piers wastes another sling bullet.

Sling Bullet (THACO 18): [1d20] = 3 Damage: [1d4+1] = 4+1 = 5

Lug chases after the goblins, but pulls up when he runs out of light.

If he gets an attack in:
"Reason" (2-handed sword) (THAC0 18): [1d20+2] = 6+2 = 8 [1d10+2] = 4+2 = 6

Would the ranged folks get a second attack too then? (Aside from Bremen, who use a crossbow.)

Just in case:
Short Bow (THAC0 19) - [1d20+1] = 1+1 = 2, dmg [1d6] = 4

Baxtaw pulls his bow at one of the fleeing goblins. Seeing Lug give chase.Leave one alive. They may be able to help to find a way to sneak in on the dragon.

Shot #1
+1 MW Bow(THAC016)[1d20+3] = 3+3 = 6 Dam[1d8+3] = 8+3 = 11

Shot#2 In case Baxtaw gets 2 shots
+1 MW Bow(THAC016)[1d20+3] = 14+3 = 17 Dam[1d8+3] = 3+3 = 6


Marullus If I remember correctly? We killed the goblin leader in the first expedition. And then all of a sudden a dragon appeared in the hold.

Piers, Rowine, Crowgar, Stantz, and Bremen raind down missiles on the fleeing goblins; Stantz' arrow strikes home and fells one of the smaller goblins (-3) when he almost reaches the door. Dorbeck and Lug chase the goblins to the doorway, failing to hit the little critters, but Lug continues the chase into the hallway where a second goblin is reduced to utter gobbets by his massive sword (-11). Two of the goblins skitter away into the darkness as fast as their legs can carry them, running up the hallway.

Baxtaw yells for one to be kept alive - Clauson yanks the choking goblin over into the midst of the group and releases it, sputtering and gasping for air. It crouches, cowed, looking up at you all with a dubious and uncertain expression. The bonfire glows brightly, shedding heat over you. The goblin knows when it walked into a trap and does his best not to squirm...

Well, we have our goblin. Who's going to convince this waste of flesh to lead us to the dragon? Bremen retrieves his quarrel, inspects the fletching and reloads the crossbow.

"Want me to Reason with him?" says Lug, holding up his big sword and grinning.

Piers strides over to the goblin and addresses him in his own language. "Goblin! I will give you one chance to live! Where is the dragon? Take us to him, or I'll feed you to him!" Piers points at Lug.

"If you lie to us, or try to trick us, you will die. Tell the truth and you may live".

Unsure what is being said, Bremen takes no chances. Remember. We want the sneaky, back way in.

"Yeah," says Lug, glowering cheerfully at the goblin, "or Reason takes the sneaky, back way in."

Bremen smiles a wicked smile, wondering if Lug really meant it that way.

"Is there a back way to enter the dragon's lair, goblin?" asks Piers. "We want to go in there quietly, not walk right into it's teeth."

The smarmy young cleric threatens the goblin in his own language, leering and offering to feed it to Lug if it doesn't tell the way to the dragon. The goblin spits back, bold at first, "Why that hard? Down the hallway, through the doors melted by dragon fire. Duh."

"Is there a back way to enter the dragon's lair, goblin?" asks Piers. "We want to go in there quietly, not walk right into it's teeth." Lug looms, his massive sword offering Reason.

The goblin cracks, his eyes cast to the floor. "Okay, okay! The back way, and I live, yes? You go find dragon the back way. We go up the hallway to the secret stairs. Don't hurt me!" Looking sufficiently cowed, he offers to lead you up the grand hallway.

(Marching order?)

Bremen offers his rope to bind the goblin. Silk rope is better than what this thing deserves, but I'd rather not have it run off and get friends.
