"Would you like a warrior's death?" Hroksull asks solemnly. Despite this creature's vile temperament, Hroksull did not much like the idea of it being held prisoner, awaiting execution. "I don't think these humans want you to walk away. But I can ensure you die bravely and with a weapon in your hand. Just tell these people what they want to know, and I'll stand ready to receive you."

The hobgoblin seems unsure of how to reply. [That's good for +2 to the next Diplomacy roll, but since you were specifically aiding another I shouldn't really give a reaction until said Another rolls...]

"I wish to help you, but you have to cooperate with me and answer his questions first. " said Veonis "I may not be able to help you get out of here immediately, but with your crucial information, I can at least figure out some ways to help you and your kinds." Veonis hope that the goblin is dumb enough to believe his story.

"You... will help Morrik?" The hobgoblin ponders this for a moment. "Then Morrik will help you. Sinruth is taking the prisoners back to the castle. All the goblin army was with Sinruth, but not our gnome friends." He shudders a bit. "Morrik does not like the gnomes. Or their dead pets."

Grujah · « **Reply #282 on:** July 12, 2013, 07:51:47 am »

This makes no sense.

Castle? What castle? Moreover, goblins have a castle? Gnomes with dead pets?

Bel thinks to himself..

Grujah · « **Reply #283 on:** July 12, 2013, 07:52:29 am »

Also, I come to Veonis and tell him to ask about that and the size of the army as well.

Kuildeous · « **Reply #284 on:** July 12, 2013, 08:31:09 am »

Having not heard what Veonis promised the hobgoblin prisoner, Hroksull beams with joy at the prospect of facing this foe in battle. Even better, this Morrik acknowledged that Hroksull is willing to help him obtain a glorious death.

The words confused Hroksull, and he began to doubt that he even understood the common tongue correctly. As he saw the bemused looks on his companions' faces, he realized that he did indeed hear about the dead pets of gnomes and goblins living in a castle. This last part troubled Hroksull. He never heard of goblins living in a castle. Who was the real owner, he wondered.

"Morrik, I have a important message to deliver to Sinruth. Tell me where the castle is so I can head there as soon as possible. Also tell me size of your army so I can make preparation according to the situation. Also, cooperate with the humans and answer their questions, I have told them to delay your trial if you do, so I can have time to call for helpers to rescue you once this emergency is dealt with." said Veonis to the goblin.

[Do I need to make rolls again?]

Also, traps, how do we avoid them?

((I assumed that too, but if Veonis was quiet in his dealings, then Hroksull would piece together that Morrik agreed to help because of the prospect of a warrior's death. Although, tricking it into thinking that it'll be spared works fine and won't require me to spend healing surges afterwards. Just expect Hroksull to be confused.))

"gnomes and goblins...? Have any of you heard about anything involving gnomes last night?"
[this last question is directed at the guards and the PCs; the first is rhetorical and just muttered outloud]

"The castle is by the swamp. Fell down long, long time ago I think. Basement is still dry, though - good place for a warcamp. Morrik doesn't know how many soldiers still with Sinruth - lots died last night." He looks sad. "Morrik should have died in battle too, but it went black. The gnomes didn't come - we hobgoblins don't trust them. But Sinruth said we needed friends, and when soldiers died the gnomes made them pets. One still looked like Grung, but was not Grung - tried to bite me!"

The soldiers are as puzzled about gnomes as the party is. None were apparently involved in the attack. Nobody has any recollection of gnomes and goblins working together historically, either, though Beleren realizes it isn't out of the question - hobgoblins will generally ally with or enslave just about anything.

"What was Grung? Goblin? Hobgoblin? Warg? "

WinterSpartan · « **Reply #293 on:** July 12, 2013, 10:20:12 pm »

"Grung was hobgoblin! Fought with Morrik! Killed dwarves with Morrik! Got axe in the head - not like Morrik."

[Necromancers/Undead? What do I know about that?]

WinterSpartan · « **Reply #295 on:** July 13, 2013, 07:29:01 am »

[Probably not much, since that's based on Religion checks. It'd be sort of a case-by-case basis with Monster Knowledge checks, since there are many different types of undead; Morrik's being far too vague to specifically identify them, likely because he doesn't have any idea himself.]

Grujah · « **Reply #296 on:** July 13, 2013, 08:03:03 am »

He's being too vague about everything!

"Are there traps at the castle?"

Grujah · « **Reply #298 on:** July 13, 2013, 08:04:14 am »

"And where is the Castle? And what is teh one thing that Siruth is afraid of?"

[Do Veonis know where "the swamp" is?]
