Act 2, Scene 2: "To Crush the Wetrocks" (Main Game Thread)

[Jenara]

Simple [1d20]=19 Sadly due to her small size, they obviously dont think she looks that scary!

[Dargon Lonewolf]

Bull Str Check Vs 19

[1d20]=12 Str Check

[Styrius]

Findalsip remarks in a dead level, emotionless voice "Death may come but once for you but I will make your soul spill all your secrets in between its screams when you are dead. You can choose to live and tell me what you know and perhaps find a way to rise above your other tribe members. Remain silent at your own risk, a false front gains you nothing. Be quick with your decision." Findalsip steps a couple of steps back and states: "I need to prepare the space to rip the knowledge from their souls should they choose the hard way" and pulls out some clerical items.

[TristenC]

Katten's arrow remains trained on them, but the orcs do not seem to be intimidated by it. The hulking Minotaur looms above their seated and bound forms, musing about beating them with their own arms... Fin also lends some rather creative imagery to the conversation.

Though the first orc remains silent, one of the others begins to speak up.
We tell you all we know! We search but not find Dwarf city. It lost! No way in! Broken piece there like small statue!

[Chris1234]

Linar says in elven, "Bull, ask him for directions to the broken statue. Don't bother with asking about numbers of foes; these creatures can't count."

[TristenC]

[presuming cooperation to keep things rolling]

We not know where. Only that we told it in old broken Dwarven city. Tunnel collapsed, can not get through. We look for other way in, no way in.

======
If Linar means to ask where the tunnel collapse is, he will give directions. Linar will recognize that the directions lead exactly to the collapsed tunnel and the hidden Dwarven City-State of Dorinkak he found when he went on his solo walk a few days ago.

"Fine; thanks. We can deal with that later. For now, we need this lot out of action and then possibly go find their colleagues," proposes Linar.

======
OOC: @ Triistan - I'd thought "... Broken piece there like small statue! ..." meant that they had found a statue.

[OOC] Sorry if that was unclear. that is what they were told to look for. but even before the combat Linar heard them speaking in orcish saying they had been searching but couldn't find 'The old Dwarf tomb'.[/ooc]

"So, are we going to sort out the rest of this gang?" asks Linar.

======
OOC: @Tristan - all good, TY!

[Jenara]

"We take out of action?" Katten fiddles with her bow string, ready to aim at an Orc, if it were up to her she would kill them here and now, the urge to do so is obvious on her feline face as she waits rather impatiently.

(Katten wants to just kill them and be done with it!!!)

[Nocturno]

Nocturno has no love for them. If The others kill the orcs, he won't stand in there way. But he won't execute any creature.

[Dargon Lonewolf]

Kill'em Now or Kill'em later makes no difference to Bull.

[Chris1234]

Linar says to the orc in its own tongue, "Thank you," and then switches his attention (and language) to Bull. "I understand 'now or later, Bull,' but it may well make a difference to the farmers and travellers that these creatures may accost." He signs. "Nocturno, I respect your view but do not share it for goblinoids. Katten, Bull, one each?"

======
OOC: Perhaps best to gloss over the next bit.

After that, Linar intends to scout ahead taking full advantage of his near-silence and superior infravision.( Happy to cover this narratively so that the others (PCs) aren't hanging around too much.)

[TristenC]

[ooc] Am i to understand that several good aligned pcs are about to execute helplessly tied prisoners? last call...[/ooc]

[Jenara]

(Yes I have been considering this.. while she hates them she won't murder anyone.)

"Hold." She calls in a halting voice. "We take them to Guard, they get locked away. I hate, but I not kill." She will physically stop anyone trying to kill the creatures. "We take them first. Or I take.." she shrugs. "Take all weapons, keep them tied together. We not kill."

(Sorry have been a bit distracted.)
