The crate tumbles down the shaft, with wood splintering as it reaches the bottom with a loud crash. You hear a pained howl cut short by the clattering impact and scattering of the box's contents. "Graahhh---".
A moment passes, and all you hear down the passage is the yips and growls of the wolves, barely audible over the loud crashing of water, as if from a waterfall.
You are no longer in initiative order. What would you like to do?
Because you all made the checks going up and the climbing gear is still in the chimney, no further checks will be needed while travelling through this passage.
You see Klarg sprawled, face-down, a few paces away from the wolves. He has several broken bones and a grievous injury where the crate has appeared to have landed on his torso.
He lays there, dead, still clutching his weapon.
The contents of the crate are scattered across the floor.
"A crushing defeat for you I'm sure" Stonegrin says as he moves towards Klarg, "Let's see if you have anything on you" he then bends down and begins searching Klarg for anything of use.
Stonegrin shook his head at finding nothing on Klarg, "All this wickedness for what" he silently questioned, then he raised his eyes from the fallen hobgoblin to the wolves, "Hungry still?" Something about the hobgoblins treatment of the Goblins in the cave above made him think he probably didn't win these wolves loyalty out of understanding, or mutual respect, they were definitely starved, probably beaten, or worse. He then drug the body of Klarg closer to the wolves so if they made the choice to they could survive for a bit longer. "If possible, I will come back and let you go, I just can't put the others at risk doing so." he then turned and headed back toward the chimney, reascending to join the rest of his party.
Meleager gets one of the crates, but is only able to get it within reach of Stonegrin.
OOC: If it is within my reach can I assist Meleager in pushing the crate down the hole?
Meleager used all his movement. Stonegrin, you may attempt the same action of you like.
OOC: I think I would like Athletics: 9
The crate is brought just shy of the opening.
The dwarf Stonegrin has used his full movement while dragging this crate.
"Sorry lads, couldn't quite make it the rest of the way" Stonegrin says between heavy breaths
Meleager
The hell with it
says he, panting
where is he?
Says Meleager, looking down the hole with a javelin in his hand
If Zuix or Mitsu would like to push the crate into the hole after Klarg, give me an athletics check.
Mitsu, begrudgingly at first, then more enthusiastically after realizing the plan, helps push the crate.

And that's all I have to say about that.

You are no longer in initiative order. What would you like to do?
"We'll need to confirm he's dead lads, don't want him sneaking up behind us"
Because you all made the checks going up and the climbing gear is still in the chimney, no further checks will be needed while travelling through this passage.
Mitsu shakes his head, blinking a few times.
That was strange, he thinks.
And that's all I have to say about that.
With no objections Stonegrin takes hold of the rope and lowers himself back down the chimney to check to make sure the hobgoblin is dead below.
You see Klarg sprawled, face-down, a few paces away from the wolves. He has several broken bones and a grievous injury where the crate has appeared to have landed on his torso.

Klarg has nothing on his person. He attempted to escape with his life....and failed.
Also, excellent pun. Take one inspiration for Stonegrin.
Meleager, also take an inspiration for finding such a creative way to prevent Klarg from escaping.
Ooc: yesss
Meleager relaxes and wait for Stonegrin and goes to check if the goblin he had hit is dead or just conked down
Ooc: when I had hit the goblin Iwrote TO KNOCK IT DOWN, dunno if it enough or I should have stated NON LETHAL DAMAGE
OOC: Haha thanks mate!
