Finally.

I'm still worried about those Hidden Skulls working with the Hand of Throngs.

The heroes look around. They find themselves alone, but again in the dark.

[-obelix-]

"I'll try to make a light spell work. Alexander and Sarge would you mind looking for a way to open that door. The rest can tie those ambushers as soon as you can, there are some questions that need answering."

I'm still worried about those Hidden Skulls working with the Hand of Throngs.

"Those kind of questions, exactly..."

Thalion attempts to cast a light spell using his diamond.

[Pyrovisionary]

Sarge reluctantly hands 100 gold to each of the other heroes in the party and does as Thalion says.

Ooc: After all, Who needs 1170 gold?

Loot:

190 gold

Nostum x2

[-obelix-]

Thalion bows as he receives the gold from Sarge, "Diola Ile. Sarge, you are most kind..."

As for the loot, Thalion hands 70 gold to Alexander and 60 gold to Brickington. He keeps one Nostrum for himself along with 60 gold. The other Nostrum he tosses to Sarge. Finally, he tosses his Mead to Alexander.

Ooc: After all, Who needs 1170 gold?

OOC: Yes, its a heavy burden to bear...

Edited May 28, 2013 by -obelix-

[Pyrovisionary]

"Your idea anyway" mutters Sarge as Thalion happily accepts the gold

Ooc:

[Wedge09]

"Diola Ile." says Alexander to Sarge and Thalion; after taking the gold and the mead, Alexander moves to inspect the door and try to open it to let in some light.

No gold for us?

Leave it, Quellir.

Thalion lights up the room, but the heroes are unable to budge the door. It would seem the only way to go is forward.

[Pyrovisionary]

Sarge goes forward through the next door.

[-obelix-]

Walking alongside Sarge forward, Thalion taps him on the shoulder, "Sarge, here, take this. There might be trouble ahead..." He hands him a Potion.

Thalion paused, "Hang on a minute, we almost forgot to question our friends here..." He turned to Hidden Skull member, "What are you doing here?"

Edited May 29, 2013 by -obelix-

[Wedge09]

Alexander stays behind Thalion and follows the rest of the party, however he remains in guard ready for any incoming attacks.

[Pyrovisionary]

Sarge downs a potion, and fought to get it down his throat! These Duplovia ones were disgusting, they burned.

Edited May 29, 2013 by Skyrimguy

[The Legonater]

Well that's the million dollar question, isn't it? Untie us and I'll give you a good answer.

Heh heh, can't take a good Duplovian drink, Sarge? I would've figured you tougher than that.

[-obelix-]

Heh heh, can't take a good Duplovian drink, Sarge? I would've figured you tougher than that.

"I think its not that... I reckon he is just too used to tasting alcohol so everything else has trouble going down the hatch... Am I right Sarge?" Thalion adds with a nudge.

Well that's the million dollar question, isn't it? Untie us and I'll give you a good answer.

Thalion's face takes a grim look as he turns to face the Hidden Skull gang member, "Guess again... Once, we left your people tied, they turned out just fine later. So if you wish to keep your life, by remaining tied, you will answer the question now. Otherwise, those ropes will be switched with these..." Thalion creates several tendrils of pure darkness around his hand.

He then turns, and looks at the Cell Soldiers, "That goes the same for you. What are these hypocrites doing here?"

[The Legonater]

Yeah, we heard what you did to Vastin. Left him and his group tied up with no food, no water - that supposed to be heroic to you? 'Heroes', pah. We know your type. Vastin never talked, neither will we.

Don't go looking at me, I just work here.

[-obelix-]

Yeah, we heard what you did to Vastin. Left him and his group tied up with no food, no water - that supposed to be heroic to you? 'Heroes', pah. We know your type. Vastin never talked, neither will we.

"A gang member lecturing us about heroics, AGAIN!? People who do not even have the decency to say why they attack someone, unprovoked, 3 times in a row!!! And, for the record, we did leave them water, so they can at least have a way of surviving until they free themselves. Just like you've had your chance by talking. I made a mistake once by just leaving them without getting information, not again." Thalion casts a darkness spell and kills the ambusher. He then turns to other prisoners, "Anyone else think of something, or shall we repeat this and continue forward?"

Don't go looking at me, I just work here.

"Why so serious?"

After a short pause he continued, "Speak and speak fast, unless you wish the same fate! Who do you work for, what are your orders and why are these backstabers here and attacking us?"

[Pyrovisionary]

Heh heh, can't take a good Duplovian drink, Sarge? I would've figured you tougher than that.

"Don't know where you got good from!" Sarge mumbles, embarrassed

"I think its not that... I reckon he is just too used to tasting alcohol so everything else has trouble going down the hatch... Am I right Sarge?" Thalion adds with a nudge.

"Listen to the elf Quellir" Sarge turns to the ambushers and goes on to say; "No! You will continue to be tied up, it's just the rope will be around your neck! Now I aint no expert hangman, so it may take a while."

[The Legonater]

The Ambushers are silent, clearly furious at the death of the other Ambusher.

You want the truth, chaps? Go beyond that door. He points to a dark door in the corner.

[-obelix-]

Thalion turned to his companions, "Leave them as they are, unless Sarge wants to play hangman, then let him have his fun... Afterwords, lets go through that dark door, we've wasted enough time on them..."

Edited May 30, 2013 by -obelix-

[Pyrovisionary]

"Let's go"

[Wedge09]

Alexander, having nothing to say, follow the rest of the party through the dark door, not before he embraced his bow more firmly.

The Dark Side is felt Thalion, the power of the Dark Side Tomorrow I will at Bruce Springsteen's concert, therefore I will return saturday afternoon, Obelix to you the command.

[The Legonater]

The heroes walk through the door, and are surprised at the figure they see standing there.

Took you long enough.

[-obelix-]

Took you long enough.

"Well, your guys were gracious enough to delay us on every turn. Not that I don't have my own theory on the matter, but do tell us, what are you dong here? I was (I am sure the others were too) under the impression that this was your enemy's hideout..."

[The Legonater]

That was the impression we meant to give. Heh, for a time it was even true. But thanks to you, this all worked out.
