4. Searching the Settlements

The river looks to be less than a foot deep. You see pebbles and rocks of all sizes sticking out of the water.

Renardius (Cleric)

"What's the loss of a few horses if we can route out these goblins? The odd thing is why aren't there any guards or lookouts? Seems mighty suspicious."

Renardius carefully examines the streambed and the opposite bank for any signs of a trap.

Athelstan - Fighter

Athelstan says "Agreed. We could also send these goblins on there way. Or do with them what you will. I think the most important thing is to go pay our respects to these goblins inside."

Soldath - Mage

Soldath shrugs: Or, we disarm these gobbies and force them through the door. If what they say is there they will no longer be a problem.

Tret, rogue

Good idea, Soldath. Let's do that.

Athelstan - FIghter

Says quietly, "Or we let them keep their arms, and we let them lead the way in, telling them if they help us defeat their foes, we'll give them all the food they can carry. If they betray us, we can eliminate them, and if they help us, they get food, and we get a couple of extra blades for this assault."

OOC: He knows these guys could turn on us, but 3 goblins isn't much challenge for us. Not to mention that when the Viper ones (who seem to not like these guys) see us stroll in with their enemies, the gobs will have to fight or die by us, or the others.

That's my thoughts. Buy Athelstan will go with majority rule.

Soldath - Mage of doom!

I like that idea, they might actually sack a few their own. Nice, let's do that.

[tumblingdice]

Okay, then. What will you tell the goblins?

[greyarea]

Tret, rogue

I say we tell them that they lead the way in because it could be a trap. If they comply, we will reward them. If they betray us we kill them. If they disagree, we kill one and repeat the offer to the two remaining. If they still won't lead the way, we kill another and make the offer again to the one remaining. If he won't, then the goblins aren't a problem anymore cause all three are dead, and I'll scout the entrance.

Athelstan - Fighter

Athelstan stares at Tret as he absorbs his proposal for the goblins, and he slowly cracks a smile. "Fine with me. Let's tell em' and get on with this."
