Re: Old Ways IC
Quietly, Talsarios mutters to Jeanne, "Looks like my spell worked - I'd better stay out of fighting this wolf in case my new chum is protective and I break the charm."
Talsarios keeps back and tries to catch the goblin's eye with a little wave. "Look out, it's loose!" he calls, pointing at the wolf.

Re: Old Ways IC
Stefan loads another bullet and weaves into a position to get another shot at the wolf.
"Wait, hot dog? What?"

Re: Old Ways IC
Brandon cleaves a great gash into the furry beast and Stefan sticks sling bullet right into the thing's eye. It staggers back into apparent abattoir and dies.
The goblin points his cleaver at Talsarios and makes eye contact. "Run, friend! Invaders!" and with that he heads back into the room, off to the left, and out of sight.Last edited by Roland St. Jude; 2011-10-03 at 10:49 PM.

Re: Old Ways IC
Talsarios swears briefly under his breath and dives round the fight, past the wolf, and after the retreating goblin.
"Wait!" he calls, in the goblin tongue. "Take me with you!"

SpoilerRoland, into which room did the goblin butcher duck, please?

Re: Old Ways IC
Stefan grins, "Yeah, I kinda see what the problem with that spell is."
Loading another sling bullet, he asks, "So do we go help or just let Tal handle it?"

"The spell will only affect that one goblin. There'll be trouble if they run into more." Jeanne readies her trident and advances at Talsarios.

Re: Old Ways IC
Nathros follows after Talsarios.
It is a joyful thing indeed to hold intimate converse with a man after one’s own heart, chatting without reserve about things of interest or the fleeting topics of the world; but such, alas, are few and far between.

Re: Old Ways IC
Tal moves quickly around the fallen wolf and into the bloody room. The floor is tacky with dried and drying blood and the goblin seems to be headed down a stairwell in the far corner.
"Come on, friend! They killed fang!" the goblin repeated in his guttural language as he began down the stone stairwell.
Brandon, Nathros, and Jeanne follow Tal into the room of hanging parts of carcasses and bloody tabletops.
Stefan reloads his sling.Last edited by Roland St. Jude; 2011-10-05 at 12:52 PM.

Brandon huffs as he tries to follow in his armor, but when he sees the stairway he halts.
"Stop. Do we want to follow him? We'll be ambushed."
"I say we wait here and use the high ground advantage. We can get a lot of barrels and stuff and throw them down the stairs. We might be able to do a lot of damage even without Jeanne's spell."

Re: Old Ways IC
"The whole place will be up in arms if we do not catch him!" Nathros gives chase.

Re: Old Ways IC
Stefan glances around at the chaos, adjusts his helmet, and moves into the room. He's still behind the others.
He takes a closer look around the room, and waits to see what happens.

Re: Old Ways IC
Talsarios moved to the top of the stairs as the goblin descended out of sight into the darkness below. The goblin seemed to stop as Talsarios spoke, however, and called back up, "Stupid. Stupid. Don't bring others here. Fang killers."
Nathros and Jeanne follow closely, but there's too much light in the room to see into the darkness below.
Brandon and Stefan stop in the room, where Stefan spies a cooking hearth, an open pantry door in the far right corner, and a variety of meats, none of obvious human origin.

Brandon keeps his sword up while he looks around and into the pantry for any doors the goblin butcher might escape through.
If he sees none, he lets Talsarios overtake him so he can talk to the butcher. Otherwise, he prevents the magic-user from making a target of himself.Last edited by Frivolous; 2011-10-06 at 10:38 PM.

Re: Old Ways IC
Stefan whispers harshly to Talsarios, "Scare us away with a spell!" He motions with his head to the others, then winks at the magic user. "Now's yer chance."
Stefan raises his shield towards Talsarios, feigning hostility.Last edited by Valameer; 2011-10-06 at 10:51 PM.

Re: Old Ways IC
"No matter, goblin firned, I shall banish them with my magics."
Standing up straight and raising his arms, Talsarios intones deeply: "Partyos leavos, pursueos in stealthitato, rescuos iffum necessitato!" - and gesturing wildly at the party, he exclaims "Back, minions of Law!" in both the common and goblin tongues.

Re: Old Ways IC
Nathros looks confused, then tries his best to follow through with the play-acting.

Re: Old Ways IC
Stefan gasps, with a look of complete terror coming over him. He cowers behind his shield momentarily before making a mad dash for the door. He runs away as fast as he can. "Save yourselves!" he cries, though he snorts oddly when he tries to get the words out.
SpoilerOnce he's out of earshot he turns around, out of breath and doubling over laughing. He tries to speak, but gets caught in another fit of laughter, shaking his head.

Re: Old Ways IC
"Good work," the goblin says, still waiting in the dark below, "we should report to the King. C'mon."

Re: Old Ways IC
"Hold on - I can't see in the dark. Tell me the right way to go to get to the king, so I don't get lost."
Talsarios gets out his notebook and quickly sketches in the kitchen above and starts a new page - hopefully to record the goblin's directions...

Re: Old Ways IC
"Down here. Straight back. Bossman in the big room," the goblin hollered up the stairs. He didn't sound like he was moving as he spoke, but only the sound of his voice emerged from the darkness.

Re: Old Ways IC
In the common tongue - as though forgetting himself - Talsarios asks:
"What, the King's just along the passage at the bottom of the stairs?" and he points in what he assumes is the right direction, before "correcting himself" in the goblin tongue:
"Oh sorry, my little green friend, I forgot: Do you mean that the King is down there on the same level you are, and along the passage way in the big room? Are there lots of other rooms, too? I hope I don't get lost."
While he speaks, the scholar notes down what the goblin has said, and his reply, positioning himself so that perhaps his fellows might read the notes from their hiding places.Last edited by Altair_the_Vexed; 2011-10-09 at 12:44 PM.

Re: Old Ways IC
"Straight ahead and down the stairs," with that, he seems to be moving away. "Are you coming or not? The boss is going to be really mad about Fang. Fang's the best hunter."

Re: Old Ways IC
"Wait, wait, wait! Don't go - I need to strike a light. I got rid of those intruders for us, anyway." Talsarios fumbles around with his flint and steel for a while, stalling for time as his lantern is already lit...
While he does so, he whispers the goblin's directions in the common tongue to his lurking companions.Last edited by Altair_the_Vexed; 2011-10-10 at 05:33 PM.

Re: Old Ways IC

Brandon looks quite frustrated. After a moment of helpless dithering, he quietly tells Talsarios, "Ask him if this is the only way to the King. Tell him you're afraid of the dark and would prefer a better-lit path to the King. And also ask him how many goblins there still are. A cook would know."
After saying that, quietly as he can, he starts to look for large wooden articles he can maneuver to the top of the stairs, where they may be rolled or thrown down on any goblin attackers.
SpoilerRoland, how close is the abbatoir to the top of the stairs? And the abbatoir is a different room than the one with the pantry and fireplace, right?
Are there large barrels and tables in either room? The barrels are ideal for rolling down the stairs, and a big table would make an ideal barricade.Last edited by Frivolous; 2011-10-11 at 11:10 AM.
