"Indeed that is his current designs, but I am more interested what his plans are after he has gotten his justice for being left in a hole to...die."
"If he is still in complete control of his mind and will, and he doesn't have any evil desires or intentions beyond his revenge...well maybe we leave him be and check on him again in the future."
"But if his heart has been corrupted and he plans to continue killing just to fulfil his hunger for evil, well that's another story."
Morph nods to Titus,
"If you still want to test him, I'm in favour of that course of action."
Morph looks around at the others to see what they think.
Titus bellowed loud enough to get his attention. He began striding towards the undead, his axe in its holster and his shield on his back.
“We must speak with you. We will not stand in your way, we will turn back and leave you to your quest. I would offer my services to you as a healer to help you if I could, just as I helped you from that pit.”
He was earnest, despite his inherent disgust for the undead.
“However, before we go we must know more about why you are here, otherwise we cannot trust that you are not against us. “
He spoke these words firmly and evenly, a statement rather than a request.
“Surely you understand. Speak with us now, we require only a few moments of your time.”
Irritated, Halleth waves his hand. "Bah, you have wasted enough of my time. I seek only one thing and nothing more. Vengeance against my former squad. Beyond that, I know nothing."
He turns east and marches into a room with a soaring, 60-foot-high ceiling supported by two rows of stone pillars. The middle of the chamber is taken up by eight vendor stalls. Twenty-two goblins are here, sixteen vendors (two per stall) and six guards who stand in pairs near the exits to the east and south. A granite throne stands against the north wall atop a rectangular stone dais.
Titus confidently follow Halleth through the threshold, he is preparing to close distance with the undead and physically prevent him from moving, but he is stunned at the buzzing commerce which suddenly fill his senses.
He continues to follow Halleth. Assuming the dead man remains true to his stated objectives, Titus will attempt to speak with him again once they make their way across the market, when they are in a more discreet setting. While they walk Titus will watch for how the Goblins react to Halleth, and how Halleth reacts to the goblins.

Halleth marches across the marketplace into an eastern passage. Following at a distance, standing just outside the next room, they hear the undead man say, "Hello, Copper."
"Halleth!" says a man with a dwarven accent. "What...?"
"I'm here to kill you," says Halleth casually.
"He is NOT yours to kill!" says another person with some kind of familiar accent.
"ENOUGH!" BellowsTitus as he issues his Channel Divinity: Champion Challenge on Halleth. "I am not asking that you answer my questions undead, I demand it!"
Titusarms himself with his axe and shield and hollers at the undead man. "I shall not let you proceed until you justify to me on behalf of the Open Lord this murderous vengeance quest! You alone do not determine who lives and dies down here!"
Readied Action: If Halleth takes any hostile move towards Titusdirectly, then Tituswill quickly move to close distance and grapple him.

Rethan gives a start of surprise as they enter...a giant market. Underground, in the middle of a supposed dungeon. But he does his best to go along with it, until Titus suddenly shouts out a challenge to Halleth. He also moves in to back up Titus if needed, darting a glance back at the guards to see how they react.
Halleth whirls around. "I told you to stay out of my way!" he says, stepping forward towards Titus.
Four goblin guards from the marketplace and four bugbears from the room beyond Titusflank Hallleth and the party but they do not draw their weapons. They seem more curious than anything else. Behind the bugbears, the dwarven voice says, "Yes, please! I've no doubt he will kill me!"
"Shut. Up. Copper," Halleth says, his visage ugly with determination. "You will get your turn."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As Halleth gets more aggressive, Atuan's eyes (all 4 of them!) narrow in concentration. He notes his stance, his style, the rigid way he grips his blade, and holds his shoulders in readiness. As a bonus action, Atuan will try to discern any weaknesses Halleth might have (Insightful fighting feature). Halleth makes a deception check against my insight! (Insight: 22)
If successful, Atuan will dart forward, rapier singing, to make his attack! (in the next post)

Rethan shrugs. "Seems like a decent way to get guidance on what to do."
“Halleth!”

(Believe it or not...you did!)
Morph follows Titus, as Titus follows Halleth.
Morph's eyes go wide at the sight of the next room.
Morph scans the room quickly, checking for any hostile intent.
Insight check to see how the room full of goblins reacts to the groups presence: 11

The goblins running the stalls chatter and watch everyone enter but nobody acts in a hostile manner.
Atuan's nose twitches at the possibility of a good bargain, but he stays near the back.
"Do you think those guards will stop the undead man with bloody fists?" he says in a low voice.
Titus confidently follow Halleth through the threshold, he is preparing to close distance with the undead and physically prevent him from moving, but he is stunned at the buzzing commerce which suddenly fill his senses.

Seeing no immediate outward hostility, Morph responds to Atuan.
"It doesn't look like they are looking for a fight."
Morph starts scanning the stalls, looking to see what's for sale.
Perception check, in case its needed: 21

Morph's eye go wide as Titus bellows out his demand.
Morph quickly moves to get closer to Titus, to be ready to back him up, if he has to engage anyone.
