[WinterSpartan]

I'll refresh the surges too. It will basically be a new day.

[Gveoniz]

Veonis agrees with Merik that going down the stairs is a good idea.

[Jorbles]

Did we do the usual search for keys/clues on the bodies of the fallen? (if not I do that)

[Kuildeous]

Searching the room!

Then down the stairs!

[WinterSpartan]

No further items of interest were found in the room.

Heading down the stairs, the party finds more filthy furs and bedrolls, and sacks and rucksacks of basic provisions and unappetizing food. The goblins have been using this chamber too for their camp. But there's nobody here at the present. In the far corner of the room, a short hallway leads to another set of those thick stone doors.

[Kuildeous]

Hroksull tosses a few of the bedrolls on the way to the hallway, ensuring that there are no drunk hobgoblins who missed out on the party above.

Unless prompted to stay in this room, he listens for anything interesting behind the stone doors.

[WinterSpartan]

Perception check? (Unless someone else is doing something first; I'm presuming Hroksull's putting his ear to the door to listen.)

[Kuildeous]

[Sorry, should have mentioned that I'm accessing docs less frequently now. I got a message from work admin asking for justification of my use of sharing sites, like Photobucket and Google Docs. So I go off of memory if I access this from home. Still, I'll roll 1d20 and ask you to apply the modifier? During the evening, I'm more accessible.]

Rolled 1d20 : 17, total 17

[WinterSpartan]

(With your +7, that's a 24). Hroksull can indistinctly hear an argument in Goblin on the other side of the door. There are two different voices involved, and they don't seem to be moving closer or further away.

[Jorbles]

[Think we can drop a couple Goblins (let's assume they're tough ones)? We're pretty banged up right now, but we're going to have to fight something probably to get our level up.]

[WinterSpartan]

[Veonis and Hroksull still have their dailies, and everyone just got a new action point. On the other hand, you have no tank, and Hroksull is fragile too.]

[Jorbles]

[Maybe we can get the drop on them? Is anyone able to do a good goblin impression?]

[Kuildeous]

I don’t think anyone even knows the language.

Hroksull can probably do an ogre impersonation, but his Charisma sucks.  That would lose our element of surprise.

Barging in on them would probably be the most surprising, as none of us have Stealth either.

[Jorbles]

[I was thinking someone might be able to do a good goblin impression to get them to come out and investigate, but yeah, given our skills, just kicking the door in might be most effective.]

[Kuildeous]

[And not that Hroksull is a good tank, but he does have Stone's Endurance he can activate in the first round to give him a little reduction. But don't expect him to stay engaged for too long.]

[Gveoniz]

[Veonis is probably best the best tank we have with enough HP and AC.]

"We may choose to lure them out even if we cannot impersonate them, they may just be a bit more readied, I don't think those thick stone door can be kicked down." whispers Veonis at a distance from the door.

[Jorbles]

[Well we doing this? I'm okay with exploring elsewhere if we don't think this is a good option.]

[Kuildeous]

"No, not kick," muses Hroksull as he examines the doors. "Two of us open doors. Others rush in. Veonis take lead?"

[Gveoniz]

"That is one way, but maybe we can also try a diplomatic method and take advantage of the argument."

[shraeye]

"I don't see what you're driving at."

[Gveoniz]

"I thought we may be able to deal with them using a diplomatic approach, namely intervening their argument, but it is improbable. What Hroksull suggested is probably better."

[Kuildeous]

The gears in Hroksull's mammoth skull grind slowly as he takes in the suggestion. Looking around, he notes that nobody here has the same skills as the scouts in his tribe, so stealth is not an option. Since they couldn't be stealthy anyway, there is no harm in attempting to drive a wedge between two possible factions in this ruin. Images run through his head of an interloper dramatically flinging open the doors and striding in confidently while flanked by capable warriors. The thought strikes him as absurd, but he smiles regardless.

With a shrug he says, "Could try. Not sneaky anyway."

[Jorbles]

"We'll have to try and look like we're less worse for wear than we feel."

[Possibly an intimidate check to look like we're not bleeding to death?]

[WinterSpartan]

"We'll have to try and look like we're less worse for wear than we feel."

[Possibly an intimidate check to look like we're not bleeding to death?]

[Technically, you're the only one bleeding at the moment. Hroksull's lightheaded from blood loss, but he's not actively bleeding. ]

[WinterSpartan]

[Bump? What's the plan?

Also, I'll be on hiatus from ~June 20 to ~July 8.]
