Ignoring the wound at his neck for the moment, Balam hopes to finish off the remaining kobold while he can.

Happy to finally be in the fray, Balam gets to work swinging his axe.

Balam eagerly awaits an opportunity to join the fray, occasionally looking around to make sure nothing is creeping up on them from another direction. "Curse my wide arse...stuck in the back when there's blood to be shed..."

Balam backs up slightly to give his companions room and stands ready, waiting to cleave any kobolds coming out of the room.

Balam makes brief mention of the door leading to the outside. It may have slipped out through here.

He then moves up to the unblocked door and gets ready for trouble.

Balam takes a slow walk around the room looking for any signs of anything hiding or where that breeze is coming from.

Were the situation different, Balam would like to examine the room further as well, but things have not worked out that way. Grrr, no chance of this ending well I'm sure...

Balam will back up Beato and make for the stairs, taking a cursory glance around on the way if he can.

Balam looks at the doors, at each comrade, then nods and tries to open the doors.

Balam will look around for any obvious entrances or possible areas to maybe boost Heff up to, if he is willing, to find a passage in.

He will closely examine the doors for any structural weaknesses or anything that jumps out at him on a possible way in.

Balam listens for a moment and gives pause to see if anything else is said. If not, he swiftly dispatches the hobgoblin with his axe and begins walking toward the entrance. "Let's get this done..."

No worries.

Balam's brow furrows as he thinks about the hobgoblin's words. "Puppies, eh? I wonder if he means the wee ones we're after or if he means kobolds. Either way, I don't think we have the time to be wasting bringing him back to town on the hopes of someone knowing it's language and coming across o...

Re: Buying supplies

Balam has a decent amount of gold left. If anyone in the party is short on funds *cough*Heff*cough* Balam will be happy to pay the tab for the good of the group for reasonable supplies, just post the total here so I can deduct it.

As the hobgoblin seems to be surrendering, Balam will recover his axe and scratch the most inappropriate place he can reach.

Hearing Beato ask for the hobgoblin's surrender and seeing as he is momentarily axeless, Balam will try to move to the side opposite Heff and attempt to slam into the hobgoblin. He is attempting to tackle the hobgoblin to the ground, hoping that Heff will react quickly enough to take out the legs/th...

One taken care of, Balam turns and looks for an opening in the fray with the other, attacking if he can do so without endangering his comrades.

Not having a good feeling about Heff being the distraction out there, Balam takes his hand off his sling and grips his battleaxe tightly. Hoping the Hobgoblins are distracted with Heff enough not to notice him until it is too late, he heads out of cover and, leaning over begins making his way toward...

Sorry for the delay on my part. My internet has been a bit flaky the past few days. Got 1/2 a post written and then lost connection again.

Off to post now. (and the current posting speed is normally fine with me)

Whispering to the others, "We could turn around, circle around the hill to the south, and then come north on the other side. Slowly and quietly. Then we could get a better look at the front of the house, how many hobgoblins are there, how they are armored, what weapons they carry and so on.&qu...

Balam grunts disgustedly and says, "Makes me sick to see a fine built house like that despoiled by the likes of them..." "It seems we are in a similar situation. While I feel we are sure to alert them sooner or later, I don't think now would be the best time to smack the beehive. I wo...
