Omaron moves to the rear of the poisoned hobgoblin, his axe lashing out again. The axe cuts a brutal swath into the creature, though the armor turns the heavy blade before it eviscerates the goblinoid.

That was close...Marik saw the blade rushing toward him and slightly deviate at the very last second to hit his shield...He doesn't quite know how to explain it, but it seems the spirits smiled on him that day.


As the hobgoblin try to lift his guard again, Marik see his opening and trust his elven blade at the creature face. The tip of the blade soon become red with blood.


OOC: Marik rolled 23 to hit and does 8 point of piercing damage

The two remaining hobgoblins parish to the onslaught!

OOC: DEAD and dead

As he see the enemy fall, Marik is about to breathe in relief when his eyes catch Raszire bleeding out of the floor.


"Oh, dear...Rani, down now!" He says, as the panther approach the fallen dragonborn and lower him down. Marik drop his bloody blade and shield on the floor and rushes to take out his healing herbs.


OOC: Marik use a healing kit on Raszire.

Map

As Marik is working on Raszire, he respond in a broken Common to the halfling standing right next to them.


"Others?..." He curses under his breath. "Can.. us...hide somewhere?" he says as he point to him, Omaron and Raszire. "Where...go?"


Holding the healing herbs on one hand, he use the other to slap the Dragonborn large scaly head

"Come, Raszire. Wake!"

Filimena turns to the elf. "Perhaps we should retreat quickly for now," she says. "If what she's saying is true, the last thing we want now is more company. We could head to the room with the Grell, and hide up in the balcony. Unless you know a better place." She speaks the final sentence to the halfling.

"Auction day?" Omaron asks. "Are there children among those to be sold? The way we came is safe, now. We should probably escort you three back to the lift, just in case."

"They know this place better than us...Can't hide...Need to keep moving fast to keep them guessing." Marik says as he look at the entrance where the hobgoblin ran. "They will come soon..." he turn to the Omaron "...We go back with them and branch out at the ogre lair...". No that Raszire appear stabilised, Marik get back on his feet and climb on Rani saddle one more.

"Go...Go now!" says Marik, as he signals Rani and the others to go back the way they came by the secret passage.


OOC: If Raszire hasn't woken up yet, Rani will take him on her back, groan under the weight, and start running.

OOC: With her smaller legs Filimena is not exactly a fast runner, but she will try to move ahead of the group, Mage Handing away any obstacles that may slow them down.

OOC: so WHERE is the group heading? Back to the ogre lair? back to Jzadirune?

Omaron watches the southern door while speaking to the halfling, "Do they use other methods of travel aside from the lift?" He cocks his head, and glances over his shoulder at her. How were you brought here? And please forgive our manners, what is your name? I am Omaron Stonehammer, windspeaker and earthwalker."

Map

Maple? What kind of name is that? Filimena thinks to herself, pausing before the group. "We have to head back up, quick," she says.

OOC: I think back up to Jzardirune for now. Right? Oops.

"And do what? Wait for them to climb up and play a game of panther and rabbit with them in the walls of Jzadirune?" ask Marik with snark, as they head back to the ogre lair. He pause... his expression changing as he think. "Yes...Maybe that could work...If you hide upstair in shadows...I could make them run...Lead the [Language unknown: waslatillingher] out of the settlement while you sneak in...

Filimena swallows. She's not so sure she likes that idea. "And what of the dragonborn?" she asks? "It's going to be sneaking around with him out. Not to mention it might benefit us to speak to them" - and here she motions at the halflings and the dwarf - "to learn what we're up against, figure out a strategy. The balconies in the last large chamber we were in might be a good place to hide. If we're quiet enough they might pass right under us. And if we're not, there's only a single stair up. That should make it relatively defensible."

"My worry is that the auction will conclude while we tarry," Omaron says. He takes stock of the wear and tear on the party. "On the other hand, I don't think we are currently able to mount much of a rescue. I can heal somewhat of Raszire's wounds, though I will be bereft of the spirit's gifts until I can center myself once more. Perhaps we can leave trace of our egress to Jzaridune above and seek refuge in an unused room nearby?"

"If there is army in there, we need more than stealth... need reinforcements. And Titan's Gate need to know... warband of hobgoblins that could enter the city at any time by the portal at Ghelve's...If we stay here and these things catch us, nobody in Titan's Gate will know what happened here."

He pause, before adding.

"I say we leave the settlement and escort them (he point at Maple and the two others prisoners) back to Titan's Gate, just to make sure they won't be eaten by Dragon on the way back. Without them, nobody will believe stories of what happened here. If church or city are serious about stopping kidnappings, they will send guards or give us means to carry real rescue later in the day before the end of auction...At very least, heal our wounds...Seems to me better and faster option than hiding here and lick wounds while they search us. "

"Returning to Titan's Gate may be the best option for us, considering the force we have thus encountered," Omaron sighs, running a hand down his face. "I can entreat the spirits favor over a short period of meditation, but I fear we have few resources left us, collectively. Unless this auction is going to last for a long while, we need aid."

"Twenty hobgoblins...of which we should have killed about half if I counted correctly. So not exactly a army. It is still a lot, but it could be feasible with a good plan and some stealth." Marik think, getting calmer by the second and taking more time to think of his words.

"We need to think this through in peace. Let's follow Filimena advice and go back up for the time being. I recall there was a room with some sort of invisibility spell... You know the one where Raszire kept disapearing while walking around. We could hide there and evaluate our options while we gather our strenght. Omaron, could you still extend that soothing aura like you did earlier?"

"I can indeed," Omaron begins. "Though it will merely allow us to recuperate in moments what would normally take an hour to refresh. If we are seeking refuge, it will offer no more succor then a short break would. Maple, do these auctions happen often since you've been here? Do they take long periods of time to conclude?" As he speaks, an etheral, mist-like rain seems to fall in a short distance around him. Those that stand within the mist feel refreshed, their spirits boosted and their pains seem lessened. "The ambush room would be a fairly decent position to rest up, if we have the time to do so before the auction ends. This is probably the last chance to rescue those who have been taken."


OOC:
Soothing aura allows anyone within 10' to spend hit dice as though during a short rest. No other benefits are gained. Let's move toward the invisibility room while we talk, yes?
