She smothers a smile when Kriv threatens to shame the orc, though it could have been her shame if she hadn't finally bested the orc. So close... | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 17,964 Likes: 1 Moderator | OP  Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 17,964 Likes: 1 | Orc
"Know not Coogmer Kips is. Many Arrows no care about."
ooc: I'll just toss you this one, with any insight roll you can tell that the orc clearly has no idea what he was asked. He has never heard of Cragmaw Keep. His tribe is "Many Arrows". | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,611 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,611 | Kriv
It was so much easier to believe that from an Orc rather than a human, no dissembling or concealment. Then again, a tribal sentry wasn't exactly in 'Glasstaff''s league. He nodded curtly.

It looks confused for a moment and then said, with a look that indicated it was guessing at the answer, "You. You?". | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 17,964 Likes: 1 Moderator | | OP Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 17,964 Likes: 1 | | | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 22,130 Likes: 8 (Buffalo) Moderator | | (Buffalo) Moderator Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 22,130 Likes: 8 | Kallista
"Do you know the Black Spider?" She asks.

She has half an ear on the conversation, the rest of her attention is on keeping watch. She hopes they can find out what they need here, it will make things easier.

He was already quite intimidated by the other female human and answers the one with horns "Me kill many black spider. Eat spider too".
Then he hears a question about the "Arrows". He seems to know the answer but doesn't know what number goes with the answer. He didn't do well in orc math school. So he answers, as best he can, "more than finger on hand". | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 13,061 Likes: 9 Wobbly Headed Administrator | | Wobbly Headed Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 13,061 Likes: 9 | Chandan
He listens and watches, not just the orc but the faces of his companion's too.
Some are fixed on the orc, some are more attentive to the surround.
Their orc captive is proving to be a subpar performer, but a fisherman doesn't always catch minnows or whales, sometimes they just hook a soggy old boot.
Chandan twizzles his hair.
"Who is the leader of your party?" | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 17,964 Likes: 1 Moderator | | OP Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 17,964 Likes: 1 | Orc
He struggles with the last question.

Nodding sagely, the old man continues.
"Which direction is Many Arrows home from here? How far?" He asks. | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 17,964 Likes: 1 Moderator | | OP Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 17,964 Likes: 1 | OrcHe points to the cave. father was a rolling stone.

He continues to keep an ear and out for any trouble, but is also listening in to the orc's answers and not liking the quality of information they are getting so far from the dumb orc. It is almost enough to cause him to return to his human form and ask his own questions, but he will hope the others can nail down the orc numbers better since they did promise to deal with the orcs here. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 22,130 Likes: 8 (Buffalo) Moderator | | (Buffalo) Moderator Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 22,130 Likes: 8 | Kallista
She frowns and grunts in frustration. "He knows nothing. Kill him, kill the rest, and let's get back to finding Rockseeker." | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,611 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,611 | Kriv
"I gave him my word, and he has answered truthfully. So, he gets to fight me. Untie him, then throw his weapon into easy reach."
The Dragonborn hefted his maul and stood ready, a quick glance to Kallista and Jaliera, their experts at range, in case the Orc decided that discretion was the better part of valour. | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,489 Likes: 57 Wizop Administrator | | Wizop Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,489 Likes: 57 | Jaliera
She is ready and half wishes the orc would bolt. She is not sure what Kriv hopes to gain from this, certainly not to promote his self esteem as she thinks it a stupid move. He risks injury or death and as a group they cannot afford either.
She decides that she did not give her word so she'll wait and see if Kriv needs help.

He stands back to watch this rite, if that is what it is. He's a monk, he understands the importance of rites.
But Chandan is also quite preoccupied with what they've learned. Or rather, from what they've not learned, as it seems to tell them more. Once the orc is dealt with, he'll share his thoughts. | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 17,964 Likes: 1 Moderator | | OP Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 17,964 Likes: 1 | DM
The orc, now freed, had no desire to run. It picked up it's great axe, lift's it over it's head and charges at the dragonborn.
orc initiative,hit,damage if it hits
Neptune rolled 1d20+1,1d20+5,1d12+3 and got 19, 18, 6 (looks like a hit and that Kriv will take 6 pts damage.
AJ, roll your initiative, to-hit and damage. If you win initiative, roll your round 2 attack and damage.
The orc is AC 13 and has 15 hp
I think we can bang this melee out quickly.

He was ready to run down the orc if it tried to get away, but instead he will back away to allow them to fight. | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,611 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,611 | Kriv
If he seemed concerned as the Orc, fractionally quicker, got in a solid hit with its axe, it certainly didn't show. He swung his Maul sharply, twice. The wet crunch at the end of the second swing said it all.

The orc got his shot it but Kriv finished him off easily. They trimmed the enemies numbers by one but they came here to rid the place of the threat and it's still there. | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,489 Likes: 57 Wizop Administrator | | Wizop Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,489 Likes: 57 | Jaliera
She relaxes as the orc falls. Kriv certainly looks unhurt.
"OK, what now? We should probably take advantage of them not having a sentry, assuming they haven't found that out? Do we try for another prisoner if the opportunity occurs, someone higher up the food chain this time?"
She is still watching their surroundings. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 22,130 Likes: 8 (Buffalo) Moderator | | (Buffalo) Moderator Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 22,130 Likes: 8 | Kallista
She grins evilly. "Well, our Orc said the cave was not that big, so not a cave complex. Why don't we gather some green brush, set it alight, toss it into the cave mouth and then I can block the exit with a Web spell."
She glances at Kriv. "Not honorable combat, no. But simple, effective, and gives us the possibility of killing them all without risk." | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,611 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,611 | Kriv
He shrugged at the Tiefling, and commented,
"I have no problem with exterminating vermin on principle, but I would prefer to check to see if any useful information can be gleaned first. They might have prisoners we can make enquiries of. Maybe have Davroar scout it out as a rodent, to see if there's any good reason to refrain before we torch them?" | | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 22,130 Likes: 8 (Buffalo) Moderator | | (Buffalo) Moderator Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 22,130 Likes: 8 | Kallista
"Good point. Not good if we inadvertently kill hostages." | | |
