Annie:

Cautiously the other youth advanced into the narrow passage, Brandr withdrew his flanged longmace from his back straps and advanced with them. Most of the youth were equipped with bows and arrows. The only person who didn't seem to be able to read the room was Annie, everyone had their weapons drawn. There wasn't much room in anyone's heart for mercy nor diplomacy. Even Belar had her weapons out. Even though Belar was a priest acolyte, and as such, was meant to be peaceful, Belar had her weapons out out of an abundance of caution.

To be fair, Brandr couldn't read the room either, he was a berserker who barely had any clothes on save his loincloth, and his Corinthian helmet, and he was already drinking from a flagon;" Belar spoke to Annie, " Oh, no, B-Brandr is likely drinking his 'battle brew.' It'll bring his rage to its highest point. If anything happens, Brandr will not stop killing until either he, or the goblins are dead."

Belar, read into the situation for Annie, "Annie, I don't like this, one wrong move, and it's a slaughter. There is one thing you could try, but it's risky: You could go in there alone, without weapons, or backup and try to convince the goblins to be our allies, or convince them to leave at the very least.

Annie, What will your character do?

A) Murder the gobboes?
B) Use diplomacy to gain an ally?
C) Convince the gobboes to leave?

The choice is up to you. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!

Annie:

Belar did not like Annie going in alone; she wasn't properly trained yet, the white haired drow spoke her mind, "If you are going, I'm going with you. It is likely there is a language barrier. I'm going to try and convince Brandr not to lead the youth into battle with goblins," Belar informed Annie, Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!

Brandr

Belar bade farewell to Annie and made her way to Brandr, who she observed sitting on the ground cross-legged, and a meditative trance. on the ground beside him were three bowls of dye. He dipped his finger into a red dye, and marked the area just underneath his right eye with it. He's mentally preparing for bloodshed, and honing his anger she thought to himself.

The art of berserking required intense focus on one's internal anger, and the honing of said anger into a weapon. It was originally a dwarf discipline, but the barbarians in Svairdia and Sudovia's northern mountains made the it famous and feared. Approaching a berserker focusing on his rage in meditation after drinking his battle brew was generally a horrible idea. Berserkers tend to lose focus of friend and foe after drinking it.


Cautiously, Belar approached Brandr. She knew it best not to approach Brandr in the state he was in. "B-Brandr, can you tell the youth to put away their weapons, Annie is going to try to solve this issue diplomatically." Brandr opened his eyes. They were bloodshot.

Brandr took off his helmet, he couldn't hear very well. He gestured for Belar to repeat herself, which she did. "You know I can't stop the youth from their bloodlust for long. I will talk to them, but If I hear sword fighting in the caves however, I will have no choice but to let them through. For her sake, I don't want to face Vyras and tell him that we sent Annie to her death." Brandr informed her, and them resumed his meditation.

Belar supposed that was the best answer she could get from Brandr. She made her way back to Annie, Once she got there she spoke to her, " Brandr gave us his blessing, but if he hears battle, he's going to let the youth into the caves. We also have to be quick. He can only hold the youth at bay for so long." Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!

Erik:

A pigeon carrying a message on its talons deposited a message in a letter box on a wooden table to the side of the lookout spot. the lookout position was boarded shut in such a way that the lookout himself was always obscured from the field of vision.

The pigeon stood on the table, staring at Darius, cooing as it did so to get Darius' attention. It then flew onto Darius' shoulder less than two seconds later. The bird seemingly lost its patience.

Darius opened the trap door allowing Erik to enter. He waited for Erik to enter. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!

Annie:


Annie and Belar cautiously made their way into the cave system. Since this was a diplomatic mission, Belar put her mace and her book of curses in her bag and left them behind. She instead opted for a regular Lathanon Bible, a set of gems in a jewelry box, and a ceremonial broadsword. The gems and the ceremonial weapon were to be gifts, depending on which tribe came rushing down to greet them. Once Belar and Annie went through they were met an impressive cavern. and an equally impressive goblin village.



Belar was awestruck by the fact that the goblins built their village around cavern support columns, and the village itself was quite large, encircling the perimeter of the columns in a complete rectangular circuit. There were lights adorned throughout the village. Perhaps some sort of celebration was going on. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!
