Moffdust loiters just outside the gate, still under the protection of the overhanging cliff, and watches to see what happens as the orc leads off across the open space towards the castle.

 She stops and loiters with Moffdust too, just watching the men folks follow along with the others. She looked at Moffdust and shrugs cloak to settle better over her feathered arms. She couldn't see much from where they were except those crossing to the castle.

 "Wat we gonna doez Moffy? We gonna eyeball em or we gonna hidez in cas dey needz reskuin latron?"

Riza stops momentarily with Raven and moffdust Hidesss if you wantss to. I'm going hunting

With that she moves out to the fringes of the walking party and blends in with the shadows.

Moffdust nods vigorously at Raven and replies quietly so the orc cleric won't hear "Yes dats just what I's goin, waiting heres ter sees who needs de rescues." She adds something in goblin tongue for Jurz and Dregz to hear.

 She followed Moffdust's example and just kept watching. She tried to be as quiet as possible. When Moffdust asked about what to do, she looked to Jurz and Dregz to see what they suggested.

 "Wat youz sayz? I helps youz wateverz you duz."

Just for a moment Jurz turns and looks over his shoulder at Moffa and Raven.

The orc cleric waits until everyone is out of the tunnel then closes and locks the gates again with the original chain and lock. He has the key for the lock on a cord around his neck. Then he leads the way across the open area to a small gate set in the wall of the fort. Nothing nasty happens to him on the way there, nor is there a sudden downpour of arrows raining on anyone else who accompanied him.

So, who is going to the fort? Is anyone staying back by the (closed and locked) gate?

Minmorc will go with the Wee cleric, he's keen to meet Sawtooth.

Dregz shares Bully's reluctance to fight a whole platoon of big orcs ... indeed he's not at all keen on even meeting them, lest bad things happen.  Nor can he see how that will get him closer to the bit of the Magic Stick which is to be found somewhere on the cliffs above.

Nodding to Moffa, the little goblin steps into the shadows, hoping the Dark One will not miss him.

Jurz nods at the decision of the other goblins, but knows that mounted on Rog he won't just be able to slip into the darkness like the others.  Instead he maintains a steady pace  behind Minmorc and Bulldust as he follows the cleric towards the castle.

Moffdust stands in the shadows near the gate with Raven and Dregz.

Riza continues to shadow the group following the cleric. she will move in close to make sure she gets into the fort with the group. But will then go back to hiding where she can and following and observing as much as she can

 She nodded her head up and down then bent to work on the lock again. She worked the tools in the lock until it clicked softly.

Moffdust grins toothily at the soft click and quickly pulls away the chain and swings the gate open silently on its well-oiled hinges. She sneaks off into the tunnel back to the side passage with the locked door to the zombie room.

When he's sure the Dark One isn't looking, Dregz follows Moffa and Raven.

She unlocked the locks and relocked the ones she is asked to relock, as she followed along behind the others.

Moffdust hops from foot to foot and claps her handses with excitement.

Dregz is rather more reserved ...

Moffdust stares at Dregz wide eyed in horror!

Oopses looks around and quickly realizes he is alone with the bigguns, and proceed to be as quiet as possible to avoid their notice.

Bulldust stays on alert and sniffs the air as he follows the orcs into the castle.  Can he smell anything other than orc ... and Oopses, Jurz and Rog?

 She went with Moffdust but isn't sure what she has in store for the dead things. She hopes her wand can take care of them things!

 "Iz gotz yur back Moffy."

Dregz recoils !

The orc cleric headed off into the darkness toward the fort with Minmorc, Bulldust, Jurz riding Rog, Riza and Oopses tagging along behind.

Moffdust, Raven and Dregz stay quietly at the gate and as soon as the orc cleric is out of sight Raven picks the lock on the gate and they slip inside the tunnel again, chaining and locking the gate again behind them.

OOC: Separate threads created for the two groups.

 She hopes she isn't locking them IN with danger!
