D&D: Horror on the Hill: Beginnings

[train]

So Rondo will cover Kurik's hole...

(do I have another sleep?)

 

[Spiderman]

Yep, there's room for Rondo.

And you do have one more sleep; since you didn't say during the overnight resting period, I assumed you memorized two Sleeps again as you did in previous days.

So the plan so far is Si'Nat casting Sleep and Gareth and Rondo meleeing any survivors that come through?

 

[train]

I'm good with that...

 

[TomB]

Rondo is careful to AVOID Kurik's "hole" as he reinforces the line...

 

[train]

(Bring it...)

 

[Spiderman]

Si'Nat murmurs the words to his trusty Sleep spell yet again and the remaining hobgoblins (four of them) fall asleep. Gareth breathes a grunt of relief. "Thanks elf, that wasn't going too well for a bit there."

 

[Oversoul]

Cugel will move to finish the hobgoblins.

And someone is tending to Kurik, right?

 

[Mooseman]

You're hurt..... let's cure light wounds and bandage the rest of his wounds......

 

[train]

Healing potion offered if needed...

Si'Nat
"I'll check the room, and if possible, let's make some room to get Kurik in and make sure we're protected while we recompose..."

 

[Spiderman]

Cugel moves among the hobgoblins, slitting throats and making sure they stay down.

Wilhelm casts his Cure Light Wounds on Kurik, reviving him, and then Kurik drinks a Healing Potion, but he still looks groggy and weak and his eyes are slightly haunted, having faced death briefly (Kurik used his one free life).

Si'Nat checks out the room, which appears to be some kind of barracks or sleeping quarters - there's 14 filthy bunks, each of which has a straw mattress and a blanket.

 

[train]

(Suggest everyone move into the room for now and I'll begin checking the bunks for anything of value...)

Si'Nat
"Hey guys - if possible, try moving in here to make sure there are no further surprises in the hallway... Now... where's the shiny?..."

 

[Spiderman]

Si'Nat doesn't find anything in the bunks, but does notice that each hobgoblin carries a little pouch...

 

[train]

Si'Nat

"Hey Cugel - you might want to check the pouches..."

 

[Oversoul]

*Cugel searches the pouches for traps.*

 

[Spiderman]

Cugel looks slightly unfocused after checking 14 pouches, but he doesn't find anything on any of them.

 

[train]

Si'Nat

"Cugel - you ok? and Kurik - how are you doing? We'll rest here a turn or two and then get ready to head on..."

(Si'Nat finishes searching the room for any hidden doors and other goodies... then prepares to tend to the guys if needed...)

 

[Spiderman]

Sorry, I meant no TRAPS on the pouches. There's bulges to them though

Kurik says, "I'm a bit unsettled by my near death experience - resting is good."

Si'Nat doesn't find any secret doors or goodies, but does drink a Healing Potion.

 

[train]

(Si'Nat drinks another)

"Man - sometimes these things come in handy... Cugel - I'll assist with the pouches if needed..."

(Si'Nat cuts them off the hobgoblins, then takes them to one of the beds and begins sorting what's in them...)

 

[Spiderman]

After his second potion, Si'Nat looks refreshed and ready to take on the world.

The pouches contain a mix of golf, electrum, and silver pieces. The total haul is 104 gp, 110 ep, and 105 sp.

 

[train]

(raises the roof!!!...)

"Well - let's finish resting up and see about heading out... Kurik - whenever you're ready... and if need be - you can make sure Wilhelm is well protected..."
