8. The Ruins of Xitaqa

[tumblingdice]

Tethir - Elf

Tethir takes a quick scout around for an recoverable arrows before following the others.

Does he find any TD?

Yes. You find two of your arrows, and one of Tret's.

[saalaria]

Tethir - Elf

The elf stows the arrows in his quiver, catches up to the others and returns Tret's arrow to him:
"I think we are running short, my friend. Its not a lot but this will help a little."

Tret, rogue

Thank you, Tethir. I usually consider these to be a lost cause and rarely search for them. Perhaps I should change that habit.

Let's continue on...

[tumblingdice]

You collect your gear and move on. Winding along the floor of the gulley, the overgrown cobbles of a ancient street lead you between the dismal ruins. From around the corner of a building just ahead, you hear the sound of shuffling footsteps and several voices talking and cursing. Tethir and Harn recognize the language as goblin. I'm assuming one or both will translate.

"Damned baboons! What are they going on about this time?"
--Who the hell knows? Maybe it's those meddling buggerers ole' Skinny-Legs's lackeys warned us about."
"The group with the werewolf? Ooh, I'm scared. Look at me, I'm a werewolf. Ah-ooooooh!"
--Slap! Shut yer noise-hole. You're making as much noise as these monkeys here."

With that you hear the pulling of a chain, followed by a hoot and a howl.
Actions?

[kipper]

Old Anja (Shaman)

Anja stops and looks to the side for a convenient doorway.

[greyarea]

Tret, rogue

Tret motions with his hands and draws his sword silently. He will sneak (hide in shadows and move silently) and try to get a look at the potential enemies we face.

Jörg - Fighter
Jörg readies his axe. "Goblin speak! Hey Thyatian, maybe you get some luvin' from gobbo girl...or boy...Jörg not judge you," Jörg snickers quietly.

[Spanningtree]

Soldath - Mage

Goblins, my favorite. The forests little winners.

Athelstan - Fighter

Athelstan scowls at Jorg and whispers "Enough! I've killed countless goblins for Duke and citizenry as part of the Crushers Brigade, and I'll tell you - despite their size they are not to be trifled with! Now lets stand side by side and kill these scum, and rescue your fellow Traldaran, the honorable Stephan, and get him home. Let's go, people!" And he'll bring Chrysomer up ready to charge in as soon as the recon is complete.

OOC: Assuming this is winnable or even suicidal, he'll wait till he hears the odds, then likely charge in like a dope. Here we go.

Jörg - Fighter
Jörg smiles as he spins his axe in his hand."You talk too much. Gobbos not killed by many words. Gobbos killed by Jörg's axe!" Moving to stand shoulder to shoulder with Athelstan, he eagerly waits for the enemy.
