Mazra's Sunless Citadel Campaign

Portia will "sneak" with Xanth (stealth: 10)

((OOC so it looks like I made all my good rolls for the week yesterday, sorry mates))

follows Xanth checking for traps and things out of the ordinary. Perception roll Nat 1, plus 4 equals 5.

RAGDOR does not perceive any traps or anything out of the ordinary in this hallway.

There is a door to the south.  And another along an odd curved wall to the west.

Glynt will suggest that someone listen at the new doors.

I'll pick one, perception roll 23

The south door sounds just like the busy previous west door.  It is obvious that it is the same room.

The sounds coming from the curved west door is calmer.  Three or more speaking in a goblin-like tongue but it is different.  It is more specific or direct. 

(You or another can attempt a History check.)

history roll - 5 

whispering - sounds like the that door, points to the southern door, goes into the same room we just avoided, lots of gobos. 3 or four in this one, can't make out what they're saying though. Anyone speak gobo? I've can speak a little ork, but that's about it.

ERKY will go up and give it a listen and then quickly come back to the party.  "I think they are Hobgoblins.  The Goblin Chief is said to be a Hobgoblin, at least that is what my Goblin captors told me.  I think they were afraid of him.  There is too much noise coming from this other room to understand what they are saying."

"Shall we go after the head of the snake first."

Glynt agrees "Let's do it, best we go in fresh and ready for them than face them when we've spent ourselves."

Portia flicks her wrist and as if from thin air her new magical dagger appears in her hand (16 slight of hand because why not roll :p) while she draws one of her shortswords in her other hand. "If we take out the leader, the others might also decide to not fight us. Lets do it now."

Glynt will respond "I hope that's the Magic Dagger." 

(I moved the party to the west curved door.  Do you open the door?)

It is very obviously the magical dagger seeing as it was a ceremonial looking one (I think that was the magical one at least), compared to her standard boring daggers

Xanth give one last look back at the party to make sure there ready the kicks open the door.

Glynt moves back so he can keep an eye on the doors behind us in case anyone comes at us that way, then gives Xanth the thumbs up.

Moves into the room with the party, int roll 20-1=19

XANTH opens the door.  He sees a circular shaft pierce the floor of this forty-foot-diameter domed chamber. Dim violet light shines out of the shaft, revealing sickly white and gray vines that coat the walls of the shaft. The light is supplemented by four lit wall torches set equidistant around the periphery of the chamber. A crudely fashioned stone throne sits against the curve of the northwestern wall. A large iron chest serves as the throne’s footstool. A sapling grows in a wide stone pot next to the throne.

A large goblinoid with red-orange skin and wearing splint-mail immediately rises from the throne and calls out.  RAGDOR knows this is a Hobgoblin.  Four other Hobgoblins, one appears to be female, were lounging near the one on the throne.  A female Goblin in a purple dress lounge further to the left of the one on the throne.

RAGDOR will notice that there is about a two foot high wall surrounding the circular shaft.  (Map updated.)
