A low growl emits from the wolf at the goblins side by the entrance. "What is it mutt," mutters the goblin as he peers out into the darkness.

Cursing under its breath the figure hurriedly raises its crossbow and takes aim.

The crossbow thwacks and the bolt flys toward the goblin. The moment before impact however the wolf leaps up and the bolt sinks into the wolf's flesh, it tumbles and rolls across the ground then goes still.

The Goblin lets out a shriek and flees into the maze.

Swearing even louder the figure rises to its feet and sprints after the goblin.

The goblin runs fast but the intruder is faster, coming up quickly from behind the goblin, the intruder stabs a knife into the goblins back. The goblin trips falls and lands on a trap blades spring from the wall and the intruder tries to doge them, succeeding by only in avoiding death as one of the blades slashes the intruders side.

Letting out a small grunt the intruder checks the wound and decides to continue on, dripping blood.

Stumbling through the maze the intruder walks the hallways lost. Time slips by as the intruder stumbles around trying to find their way through, when another trap triggers. With the roof sliding down the intruder dives out of the way barely making it. As the ceiling crunches down on the intruders crossbow. Letting loose another curse the intruder rises back to their feet and continues on.

Many minutes later the intruder stumbles out of maze starring at the main hallway with 3 doors to choose from.

based on the rolls our goblins heard the traps and are waiting

>>2621541
yeah thinking about it, Selenas doesn't seem to be an important piece in their master plan. Seems doubtful they would send an important figure like the assassin hero to rescue a literal no one. Maybe to retrieve the glowy sword but Selenas doesn't strike me as important enough to send a big mover like Valenca Saren to save her.

Swinging the barracks door open the intruder steps inside. Unfortunately for the intruder the swinging door collides with a weapons rack and the weapons clatter on to the floor. The two goblins sleeping inside bolt awake and one of them lets out a shout "INTRUDER."

Inside your room, you hear a loud clatter and then a shout of "INTRUDER" Causing you to bolt upright.

Guys, the intruder lost their crossbow and if this is an assassin they will most definitely have poisonous daggers. We should get our armor on before rushing to fight an unknown enemy who decided to kick our door in. The goblins can hold their own for a hot second while we get our armor on. Besides, we get reinforcements today

>>2621658
Putting on armor takes a while. Killing goblins does not

>>2621658

it's not a second man, its a plate armor if I'm not mistaken.

and we don't know any of that, we just know that there's an intruder in our barracks and he already passed the traps, fuck he can be on us while we are fumbling to put that thing on.

Why would that be a good idea? The reason why she's questioning her views is because no one is coming to her rescue. If we bring her living proof of a rescue attempt then it would revert all the progress we've made with her thus far.
>>2621776
Honestly I'm really damn surprised insurrectionist leaders are already starting to show up. Maybe it's because we are really close to the already captured cities, the map doesn't really clear up how much the rebellion captured already. It might just be a lesser boss in one of the lower rings. Maybe a goon of the assassin or an assassin to be and it was their test to prove to the heroes that they can do assassin tasks. Which I'm pretty sure is what Selenas was to do, prove her worth to the heroes by capturing a small bumpkin town of McNobody. So maybe after not hearing anything they send out another to test them against the same thing.

I don't think stringing up a bloodied corpse to our front door would really send the right message to Resis. We would become just another brutish, mindless, and dishonorable warden. Not only would that be bad for us that wouldn't really gain any favor with the queen. Depending on who she is, should kill her unceremoniously or in the upcoming talk with the village as a public execution. Show how their false heroes are weak. We could also try to bind her and imprison her depending on why she is here. If her mission was to save Selenas then we kill her. If her mission was to retrieve the sword then we keep her and show Selenas how much the heroes really think of her.

>inb4 nat 1

>>2622352

the damage for combat works like this

(average of your rolls) - (average of enemy rolls) = (damage dealt) whoever has the higher average does the left over damage

Crits work like this if you get a critical but less average damage the damage from the enemies dice is halved, If your average damage is higher than your attacks dice damage is doubled.

So for example:

>your rolls (20,15,10) [15] - enemy rolls (6,5,4) [5] = 10 damage X2 from crit = 20 damage

>your rolls (20,2,2) [8] - enemy rolls (19,18,17) [18]= -10 damage X1/2 from crit = 5 damage dealt to you

and crit fails work in the opposite way

>your rolls (1,14,15)[10] - enemy rolls (5,4,3) [4] = 6 damage X1/2 from crit fail = 3 damage

>your rolls (1,5,9) [5] - enemy rolls (11,10,9) [10] = -5 damage X2 from crit fail = 10 damage dealt to you

Your halberd passes through her, you curse and turn waiting for a strike from the right. The intruder on your right continues to posture and you swing your halberd to her only to have it pass through as well. It is then that the image fades and reveals the dark entrance of the base. Outside you can hear the songs of bugs and night animals accompanied by the sound of parting grasses, The bitch had slipped you.

Plan for the day:

>Link up with reinforcements and talk with the town's Mayor/Eldar and address the town as a whole afterwards (release the prisoners at this point)
>Make preparations for training a local militia and patrol routes for the garrison. Get more local labor to work on the dungeon. I'm thinking the next build project should be a prison. We need to, however, organize with the locals to work on food stores and see what we can do to keep our guys fed.

leave goblin or two behind, dogs with us.

>>2622935
We should have 5 goblins in total. 1 is probably injured. Two goblins would need to stay to watch out for anymore attackers and to check on the wounded. The other two would come with us and the dogs. Or I guess we should leave the goblins behind and only take the Wolves?

I'd say take only 2 wolves and our resident warg rider.

You stop at the entrance to your base and catch your breath, for now she could run but with those wounds she couldn’t travel for long and with your wolves you could easily track her.

While you wait for your goblins to catch up you hear soft whimpering noises and see one of your wolves lying out in front of the base’s entrance. You approach the beast lying on its belly looking up at you with a pained expression. Examining the beast you see a crossbow bolt jutting out of the beast’s chest. The bolt had missed the wolf’s lungs but it had struck deep and judging by the blood leaking out from around the shaft, it had hit something important.

Coming up behind you, the two goblins you had sent to chase the intruder come up and panting heavily give you a report “We lost… the intruder,” one breathes.

“Man down… in the corridor… Niddle… poisoned,” wheezed the other.

“Go get Grintol and tell him to bring both of his wolves to the entrance we’re going to get the bitch that did this.” You say and the two exhausted goblins turn back to the maze.

Damn this wasn’t good, you could try to save the wolf and the goblin, but that would mean you couldn’t pursue the intruder, and your goblins might need your help.

>The intruder must pay for her crimes, get your armor on it was time for a hunt.

>>2623928
Let the goblins give chase while we help heal.

Make sure to tell the goblins to take no chances she is out if ranged weapins but she is still very dangerous. Just harras and chase her untill she drops from blood loss or exhaustion.

>>2623928
>If you can save the wolf and Niddle then you have to try, let your goblins give chase.
I think we can afford to give our goblins the benefit of the doubt and trust in their abilities to sneak attack. It would be preferable if they bring her back alive, but if it's too dangerous then they should kill her. Take what they think they will need on their hunt.

>>2623936
>Just harass and chase her until she drops from blood loss or exhaustion.
You're right. She will eventually bleed to death from her wounds. Unless she has a healing potion on her!- no wait that can't be it. if she had one then she would have used it by now.

You reach down and gingerly pick up the wolf. Heavy as it is you bear its weight as you walk back into the maze. On the way back you have the two goblins pick up Niddle and lay him down in your room as you lay the wolf down on one of your sturdy tables.

You turn back to the two goblins who brought Niddle in and give them additional orders. "Grintol is to lead the search party for the intruder, she should be bleeding heavily and will be weaker. Do not under estimate her though, wear her down and wait for her to drop if you can, bringing her in alive is preferred but don't kill yourselves for it, Understand."

The two goblins give you a nod and leave your room as you set about dealing with the wounded.

A quick examination of the goblin showed a knife wound in his back, around the wound the flesh had grayed and smelled of rot. Niddle's breathing was labored and he coughed with every exhalation.

Niddle needs your immediate help, so you set to work with what you remember from your days as a solider, you fill two pots with water, one you keep cool the other you boil. You place the cool rag on Niddle's head to help with his burgeoning fever, while using the boiling water you clean his oozing wound. This poison was nasty and you weren't sure you could do much else for the poor man when you remember the detox shot from the herbalists book.

All you needed was some Bitter Root, Pigs Tail Flower, and Tromple Wart.

The Tromple Wart grew in abundance on the manure piles in the kennels and the Bitter Root was an easily find able plant, but the Pigs Tail Flower was another matter entirely it was rare, even in your area where they were the most common.

You tear through the pages of the plants section until you stumble upon a weed with some what similar properties to Pigs Tail Flowers. The Snag Weed a common enough plant with sticky fibrous growths that tangle up and trip unwary travelers.

With the ingredients for the detox shot arranged, you take a look at the wolf, after you take the arrow out you will have to close its wound and for that two options were available. You could either sear the wound shut which was easier but the wound would take more time to heal, or make a poultice for it which would be more difficult but heal the wound better.

You grip hard the bolt and yank it out the wolf gives a snarling bark and bares its fangs at you. You sneer back at it and say "Stop whining it doesn't hurt that bad."

You take the now red hot knife and press it into the wound. The sound of searing flesh, mixed with the snarl of the wolf as it swings its head down and digs its teeth into your arm you hold the knife in the wound waiting for about three more seconds and then you drop the knife and use your fingers to pry the wolf from your bare arm. Blood welled from the bite mark on your arm and you curse wrapping it in clean cloth. The wolf gives you what you think is a knowing smile, the smug bastard.

With the wolf taken care of you proceed outside to find the herbs.

You rush out of the base, torch in hand and search the surrounding terrain for the plants you need. Stumbling through the near dark you find a lot of the plants you need, so much you could make several of the detox shots. When you approach the top of the hill looking for even more plants, you trip over a gnarled looking root, when you pick yourself up you find yourself in a whole patch of Pigs Tail Flowers, now you should easily be able to make detox shots anytime you need to. Collecting a few you then return to your room and toss the ingredients into the boiling pot of water and wait for the ingredients to brew. While you wait you rewet the cloth on the goblins head and adjust him into a sitting position for the tea.

The pungent scent form the pot meant that the brew was ready. Taking a ladle full of the tea you press it to the goblins lips and have him drink the concoction. He drinks it down easy enough and you then sit back and wait.

After about ten minutes the detox shot takes effect. Vomit spews from the goblins mouth, and you quickly give him a bucket to puke into, it is then that you notice that he is sweating profusely and has also in fact pissed himself. You gather more buckets and bedpans as the goblin starts shitting himself as well.

Half an hour later, having emptied himself completely. Niddle collapses to the floor passed out from exhaustion. You check the goblin, his breathing had stabilized and he was beginning to cool and come down from his fever, you had saved his life. Now though he owed you, owed you for having to clean up every nasty expulsion from his body, oh he would pay just as dearly as the intruder would when your goblins caught up with her.

The illusion had worked like a charm, confounding that damned relentless, halberd wielding, maniac in his bed clothes, allowing the intruder to escape. The intruder crashed through weeds, wheat, and grass on her desperate escape path stopping only when her lungs and bleeding wounds demanded a stop. Falling onto her hands and knees, the intruder caught her breath and checked her wounds. All that damned running and fighting had widened the slash in her side and blood still ran from it although more slowly than when it had first been opened, While the large gash in her shoulder from the halberd still burbled blood in dark hues. The intruder attempted to move her arm with the cut up shoulder “Damnit,” she cursed getting only a weak response from the limb. Removing her face cloth and hood the intruder attempts to bind up her wounds.

Slicing the clothes into strips the intruder wraps the pieces around her midsection and pulls it taut, then she quickly binds her wounded arm into a sling before packing the wound with cloth. "There that should hold," she says, satisfied with her work.

Just when she finished binding her wounds, a wolf howl pieces the night making blood run cold. the hunt had begun, and the real chase, started.

The intruder tears off through the night heading for the planned escape route. Moving at surprising speed the intruder makes early head way distancing herself from the hunting goblins and wolves. but as she moves she encounters a patch of nasty brambles that trip her step and tear away the arm sling as she finally breaks through the patch having lost a lot of her lead.

Finally the intruder bursts from the grasses and down onto a muddy creek bank.

"The creek, I made it," the intruder breathes as she leaps into the water and swims down stream.

Only minutes later your goblins burst on to the bank wolves sniffing the mud.

"She must of jumped into the river," said Grintol atop his wolf "She was injured which means she'll probably be traveling down stream." Grintol turns his wolf that direction and bounds off in search of her the other goblins and wolf following.

Gintol and the search party walk the bank for hours but the wolves fail to pick the scent back up. Cursing Grintol turns the party around, the boss wasn't going to be happy about this.

Sitting in your room tending to wounded you hear the returning search party. You hurry out of your room to see how they fared, only to be met with a party of exhausted and defeated looking goblins. Your anger builds but then subsides, the hero had escaped true, but the damage she had done had been reversed so all in all you had broken even.

Plus the "hero" didn't even see anything other than walking into a bunch of sleeping goblins. The only thing they saw of actual note was our face which means she knows us but we don't know them so going about anywhere incognito will be problematic.

All of our guys seem fine enough, set them to their usual patrol and then go talk to Selenas. Maybe we can glean off a few details about herself and possibly about people she knows in the rebellion or sympathize with her. Sticking to my plan >>2622862

>>2626335
We don't have the old boss's armor and we don't know where it is. We would have to talk to the village leader for the whereabouts, which is already a part of the plan. As for traps, we can have our goblins set about to reset and clean them. No need to waste our time on it when we have minions

After our reinforcements arrive we will meet with the village leader in full armor, yeah

Right now I don't think there is any more insurrectionists to bother us as is. The assassin is most likely either a scout or just someone to get in and retrieve something. But as is they gained very little information on anything, with them stumbling in and out of the dungeon I doubt she knows the maze very well either. Doubtless to have another assassin attempt to properly scout the base or they will come in force at a much later date. Regardless it's not an entirely immediate threat. Plus they don't know of our reinforcements so if and when they return they will have sorely underestimated our forces.

Another thing on the bucket list we might have to deal with is the rust in the kennels. It would be awful of anymore prisoners or the dogs get rashes in the future.

One was the living quarters of the herbalist and his apprentice , two beds and trunks containing the personal affects of the herbalist and his apprentice.

"There has been an unknown individual that has been sighted in the area within the past 5 to 6 hours and has been noted to be heavily wounded. I wish to know if she has acquired your services and if so, do you know where she went?"

You give out a sharp whistle and call out “Grintol, bring me the wolf,” before turning your attention back to the old man.

>Can you be batman? Roll some d20s to find out.

Rolled 20 (1d20)

I think the dice gods are making it pretty goddamn clear how we need to start playing this.

The herbalist didn't deserve this. You guys are mean.

He deserves everything that's coming. And I think Baldr wanted an excuse to punch his lights out from when he was talking shit about us.

So we got a 4 degrees or success from this. Think we can get a perk out of this?

>>2629766
Dice are fickle motherfucks. Because otherwise we would have gotten that assassin with the search party way earlier.
Or not gotten crit'd by that bandio batter.
So no, I highly doubt the dice are making clear because I'm betting the're setting us up to fail with the aggressive stance.

>>2629798
You're next, once we finish with the old man.

>>2629789
crit plus dub 14s have to count for somethin.

>>2629798
I dunno man, I remember the last time we talked to the villagers we rolled pretty high. We might be really good conversationalists.

>>2629799
K bro, whatever floats your goat.

>>2629800
Never hated on the talking part, I'm just doubting the aggression part.

> 4 Successes (Holy Shit)

Your hand shoots to the herbalist’s throat and his eyes go wide as you squeeze his neck and lean in close to his reddening face.

“Listen here, you withered old skeleton. You are going to tell me where you hid the injured girl who came in here or I am going to flay you alive,” behind the herbalist, the wolf enters the hut “And then I am going to feed you to my wolf piece by blood soaked piece until you answer my questions.” The herbalist face was starting to turn purple in your hands, so you through him to the floor directly in front of the wolf which was emitting a low, menacing growl. “I would start speaking now old man before my wolf runs out of patience and I don’t even have time to cut you up before he devours you.” Your wolf stands over the herbalists face and licks its lips before baring its teeth and drawing closer, ever closer to the herbalist.

“Ok, Ok, I’ll tell you just get this beast away from me,” The herbalist screams as tears start to stream down his fear frozen face.

You give a short whistle and the wolf backs away from the herbalist, “Now where is she.”

“In a barn south of town, she is with my apprentice who is looking after her, please don’t hurt him. He is just a boy doing what he was told, he doesn’t know anything. Take the girl if you must but leave the boy alone,” he pleads.

With the location of the intruder in hand the only loose end left to deal with was this sobbing and broken old man.

>A public execution, he will share the fate of all traitors and rebels
>Apprehend him for now and deal with him later, you have to take care of this intruder first.
>[Write In]

>>2629971
Oh god my fucking heart. Leave the poor old man alone.
Let's just go get the bitch and be done with this.
