Re: OOC Table Talk
Treasure allocated. Done and done.
I saw no votes other than Lardo for the potion, and Ampersand says he will back out of contention due to the fact that he got a magic item last time. So Lardo it is.

Re: OOC Table Talk
You are no doubt aware that perhaps a week or so ago, a merchant caravan was raided, by what we believe was either goblins or hobgoblins, or both acting in concert. It was thoroughly pillaged, and most who were present were slain...but one teamster did escape, and he said that prisoners were taken.
"Two of those prisoners were a master merchant named Gregor and his wife. While it is quite possible they have already met with a grisly end, I heard you have recently battled with these humanoids. If you were to continue your assaults, I would ask you to please look for them and if possible, rescue them. You would have the Guild's gratitude, which is no small thing."
======================
The Goblins or Hobgoblins might have these prisoners. We didnt see any in the Goblin lair, so maybe the Hobgoblins? That should be our first target, before any possible captives are killed. It cant hurt to get on the good side of the Keep head honchos and the Guild. The Goblins might be fixing up their defenses after our last attack, even though they have been weakened. I say we hit their bigger cousins the Hobgoblins- though they are tougher and probably better organized.
No guts no glory. (or gold)

Re: OOC Table Talk
Lardo's going to try to get a little more specific intel before we set out, but I don't want to hold things up either.
Since we know they're inclined to feud anyway, I still think we should try to play the hobs and goblins against each other and go in for mop up work. It could also provide the diversion we need to sneak in for a rescue. Work smarter, not harder.

Re: OOC Table Talk
Time can also be a factor if there are live prisoners.
Maybe the Phantasmal Force spell can be used here. Make it look like the attack is by someone else.

Re: OOC Table Talk
Hey, we killed the ogre, killed some goblins, wonder if we could use some of that equity to influence the kobolds to help us? Maybe we take a few gold and buy some good and booze to ply them with and see if they have heard if any prisoners and would they help us. Might get us some help (doubtful) and might save us some time. Just a thought....

Maybe the kobolds know something at the least.

Re: OOC Table Talk
We might try to use the fake gold on the kobolds.
As for goblins or hobgoblins, we have weakened the goblins. But haven't explored their cave or taken out their leader. It would probably be a good first stop, and if the merchant isn't there we could find another prisoner to question.

Re: OOC Table Talk
Im not sure if going right back at the Goblins is the best idea. They are weakened, but they probably have posted extra guards or traps. They might be expecting another attack and preparing. I think we should strike elsewhere then come back later after it quiets down a bit.KingOfCowards wrote:We might try to use the fake gold on the kobolds.

Re: OOC Table Talk
Well the goblins numbers are far fewer than the hobgoblins aren't they?

Re: OOC Table Talk
Probably, but we cant be sure. We killed some, but there were probably more Goblins to start with. Goblins are usually more numerous then Hobgoblins.GreyWolfVT wrote:Well the goblins numbers are far fewer than the hobgoblins aren't they?
If the group want to strike at the Goblins first- Im ok with that. But my preference is a new target.
Last we saw were the King a few bodyguards, a wolf, his concubines, and a couple regular Gobs.
This:
Before long, a tight group of goblins does venture through the secret door. 3 goblin warriors lead the way, javelins held ready to throw. Behind them come a pair of burly goblins in scale tunics, carrying shortbows with arrows nocked. Behind them is a very tall goblin, nearly 5' in height; he wears a mail shirt and flaring helm, and carries a polished metal shield and a short, heavy cudgel of black wood. Pacing at his side is a huge wolf in a spiked collar. Behind him, guarding his back, are a pair of goblin females; they wear short dresses, not armor, but carry wooden shields and shortswords like they know how to use them. Bringing up the rear is a quartet of goblin warriors, with javelins and axes.

Re: OOC Table Talk
Either way we will have to fight both as we don't know which of the two has the captives.

True.
I'm for setting off at the first opportunity.

Re: OOC Table Talk
I'm good with going after the hobgoblins first if that is the consensus.

Re: OOC Table Talk
We can see what everybody thinks. If the majority wants to go after the Goblins, that's fine. I'd rather the Hobgoblins, but that's ok.GreyWolfVT wrote:I'm good with going after the hobgoblins first if that is the consensus.

Re: OOC Table Talk
My .02: I think we should capture and charm a goblin to get a definite bead on where the hostages are located and save ourselves the trial and error.

The prisoners might only have a limited amount of time. If we can pull this off it looks really good on us. Besides, how much treasure can kobolds have?GreyWolfVT wrote:that or change it up go after the kobolds but they weren't mentioned in the capturing of the merchants.

I can imagine our triumphant return.
You have slain an Ogre last time. What did you accomplish this time?
We killed some kobolds.
What? I couldnt hear you.
We killed some kobolds.....
Oh....
