Gallia Campaign 1

Gimble, while still holding his daggers in hand, chuckles aloud at Misty’s comment and the hobgoblin’s response. 

“Bout summed that one up Misty. All bark, no bite.” 

And with that Gimble continues to eye the hobgoblin while following after Misty.

Casmir, seeing his companions moving on, backs away from the hobgoblin and joins them.

"As you say." Misty says with a mocking bow. "The castle is all yours, do not make us return here, as you won't be spared a second time." She glances to her companions. "Let us go, I would like to get back to town today still, if that is possible." She would then skirt around the hobgoblin, and send her familiar soaring out to scout the way ahead of them as they travel away from the castle.

Gundren Rockseeker quickly follows the party not wanting to stand between the hobgoblin and the castle. Hobgoblin 1(in common) "You mock me at your own peril. I will certainly not forget this disrespect." The Hobgoblin eyes Stannic who hasn't followed the party past the hobgoblin. Gundren Rockseeker(whispering to Gimble, Misty and Casmir) "Are we sure we want to spare this one? I'm all for leaving and with haste, but He seems like the revenge-y sort."

“Hmmm...” Gimble mumbles quietly. “To always be looking over our shoulder or not...it’s the question.”

Gimble stops, turns back to look at the hobgoblin (loading a bolt into his hand crossbow) hoping others will pick up on the motion. He watches the hobgoblin’s motions as Stannic draws closer to it, considering shooting it while it’s distracted.

(OOC I could go either way...Gimble doesn’t want more behind him than needs to be—he hates looking over his shoulder, he’d rather control the trouble in front of him)

"I will not attack someone who has surrendered." Misty says with a shrug. She continues walking away.

Stannic eyes the hobgoblin warily.  “Remember, stay away from the caravans” he wags a finger at the hobgoblin and follows the others down the trail away from the castle.

Without a word, Gimble shrugs, turns with the rest, to finally put the little guy behind them.

The party leaves the castle and back into the triboar trail. The Hobgoblin clearly unhappy with the party but goes into the castle.

@ the party, (OOC: where to next? heading back to Emberhorn City?)

(Yep back to the city.)

Quote from DragonDenn >>

(Yep back to the city.)

 Ditto

@ the party, the party continues into the Triboar Trail for an hour and a half when it is time for the midday meal. You all make a temporary camp and enjoy some rations. (OOC: if anyone wants to talk to each other in character feel free to post your meal time conversation.) The party continues to travel through the triboar trail for 9 more hours until it starts to get dark and the party makes a camp for the night. Someone (OOC: feel free to decide who) makes a camp fire. The party has their evening meal. (OOC: mark off a ration, if you do not have a ration give me a survival check to see if you manage to hunt something down to eat.) (OOC 2: For those that will watch during the night give me a perception check.)

Gundren Rockseeker: (to the party) "I dont suppose any of you have some spare food you could share with me?"

(OOC: date July 27th. time 9:30 p.m.)

(OOC: quests in the spoiler below)

Sitting near the campfire Misty smiles at the dwarf. "I have some food I can share with you." She hands over a ration. She pulls out one for herself as well, grimacing as she starts to eat the less-than-savory food. "So, master dwarf, what was all this business over anyway?" She asks as she eats. "Why did those goblins find you interesting enough to bring you all the way to their castle?"

"I'd happy to share mine", Casmir answers, offering half of his rations to Gundren. "Not as good as the monastery's food, but it will fill you up"

(OOC: Casmir volunteers for a watch, Perception: 3 in the log. In hindsight, maybe he should have just slept through teh night ;-)

Gimble gets to work on building a fire for the group. Once the fire is going, he sets up a bell on a string around the perimeter. 

“May not cover the entire perimeter, but at least it could help a bit,” he says dusting off his hands. 

Hearing Misty’s question to the dwarf, he settles in by the fire to listen, while eating and then cleaning and sharpening his daggers.

(Gimble will take a watch Perception 15 )

Gundren takes the ration that misty offers. Gundren Rockseeker: (to Misty) "I can only guess they are after this map and what it leads to. I do know someone called the black spider is the one behind this. Why goblins would follow some mysterious persons orders i dont know. Unless this spider is a goblin. As for why they took me to the castle, it must be cause thats where these goblins hang out at."

Gundren turns to Casmir. Gundren Rockerseeker: (to Casmir) "Thank you, I dont know how long those goblins had me." Gundren takes the ration Casmir offers. Gundren starts eating.

Gimble setups a trip wire (trip string?) around a portion of the camp. (OOC: if you wanted to tie the bell to the string and use the string to tie it to your rope, your rope should be able to get around most of the party's camp.) Gimble also starts a campfire. As the conversations start, and people start eating their meal, Gimble also eats, and sharpens his daggers on his wetstone between bites.

(OOC: feel free to converse as long as you wish, just let me know when the party wishes to advance to the next day.)

"What's so special about the map?" Misty asks. She shrugs as the ration she offered is turned down, placing it back into her pack. She frowns at hearing someone, called the Spider, was pulling strings behind the scene. "Guess the Spider could be a goblin name, or something." She comments.

Misty will also do a watch. Misty's owl will keep watch with her. Owl perception: 19

(OOC Gimble would approach it that way, I’d like to encircle the camp)

“Is there anything that these goblins may have said about where this spider is or what some of the plans are?” Gimble asks Gundren.

Stannic leans against his new staff as he sits by the fire, listening to Gundren’s story with great interest.  “What will you do when you get back to the city?” 

As the group discusses the Spider, his thoughts go back to the Drow they fought in the castle. “What about the Drow we fought in the castle, could they be the spider?  Was that even a Drow remember what the body looked like?”

Stannic will take a watch during the evening as well. Perception: 20.
