Act 2, Scene 3: Twisting Paths

[Styrius]

Concentrating on the anchor, Findalsip doesn’t see the farmer go down. He gets to work freeing the anchor from the rock.

Bull rushes forward with his swords, ending the Shaman with brutal finality. The body jerks and twitches as it lies, smole bubbling up from the gut as it smolders. In a matter of seconds a dim flame appears, spreading across the corpse and drowning the area in the sickly stench of a grease fire. Linar and Katten move to the southern passage, watching for any sign of reinforcements…

Hey!? Fin!! Jordek calls in the dark. What's going on? It's ok if you're scared, I won't tell the tall-folk. You missed the battle but they're nearly done... now… The Forest Gnome pauses as he senses the dead bodies and the captives. Oh, Shit! Goblins! He hurls his dagger instinctively at the attacker.

Fin takes the crude pick and chips out the area around the anchor spike. After a few well-placed blows he manages to pull the ring free! The second chain of 4 prisoners is now free of the wall, but they are all still linked together.

Gorme moves over to drag the bleeding farmer back while Aldgild faces off against the goblin. Her movements are weak and slow from malnutrition and months of hard labor. The tribesman evades her clumsy handling and stabs the captive with his spear, shouting something in goblin. Other goblin voices can be heard behind him in the dark.

[Actions R8?]
[The captives are about to start dropping like flies, lol]
