Ryxikor slowly stealthly quietly follows the goblins out, making sure they don't double back or anything trying to cause mischief. Once he is satisfied everything is clear he returns to the others, listening to the dwarf, Odlin, intently. The roguish elf remains quiet though, since he isn't as involved in all the recent events lately, like the others are, they seem to know more about it than him. But keeping any already gotten loot does sound good to him, he thinks to himself.

Stadvas comes out, and looks at his companions. "I think it's a good idea. Life over money." He simply puts it, without giving much detail. Then, he slowly looks at each of the others, waiting for them to make their opinions known to their teammates, and trying to guess them by their faces before they do.

Urrtarr returns an hour later by herself. She listens to the group proposal and at first she looks angry but calms herself down.
"I understand you position. Whatever you have already taken, you can keep. It is the spoil of war after all. But you cannot take anything more other than what you find in Noak's Lair. I have ordered the clean up of the bodies you have left in Bronk's room so we will keep the weapons and armors of the ones you killed there. Now if you are ready, let me lead you to Darax. He knows you are here but believe his elite hobgoblins will handle you. Now if you are ready, follow me."
She stops and turn around "Who is the magician in your group? I will let you look at my spell book once Noak is gone. And remember: Darax needs to be alive at the end."
She pauses for a second and adds "I am not sure I should tell you this but I want to make sure you save Darax. He will likely either defend Noak or run to him if wounded. If Darax dies, our deal is off."
OOC: XP have been added

Odlin stops the plans.
"Taking on a dragon is not a task we should do without planning.
Can you tell us of any traps the great lizard has? What are the exits?
We may need to gather supplies before tackling Noak."
The dwarf cant resist looking at his friends and their wounds, fearful that they may be too depleted to join a struggle against a dangerous opponent
"Can we meet you here tomorrow?"

Listing supplies to himself while Odlin negotiates with the hobgoblin, Augustine says, "We will want something to protect us from the acid breath of the dragon if we can get it, though I dont know if we can. We will need to either be ready to knock out Darax, put him to sleep, or something like that so he won't distract us from Noak."
Thinking of something he hadn't previously, Augustine looks up sharply and asks Urrtarr "How big is the dragon? I'm no coward, but I don't have very good feelings about going up against something that could use me as a toothpick."

Ryx remains quiet, he stands relaxed with his hands resting on his belt buckle. Thinking of this Darax and how he will likely interrupt their mission.

Urrtarr looks at Augustine “She is not very big but she spit acid and can kill a goblin in 1 attack. I believe that if Darax would have stood up to Noak, we could have taken her down. But she seduced him with her words of power and conquests. He was not happy just living in peace, trading and trying to increase the number of hobgoblins in the tribe.”
She turns silent, saddened at the reminder of the life she lost then turns to Odlin “I am afraid that if you wait one day, you will let Darax know that you took out his elite guard. He might even use goblins as cannon fodder. I believe it is best for you to go in now. He is waiting in his room for a report from his elite guards.”
Brettnor gets of the brushes and say “I can heal anyone who needs it and we have the wand.” He them looks at Augustine. “I think you should have it. I am afraid I am not cut for adventuring. Life was much easier and safer at the temple.”
OOC: Anyone needed healing can be healed. Brettnor has 2 CLW and 4 CMinorW plus the wand has 12 charges left.

Suddenly speaking up, Ryxikor steps out from behind the warrior, "Maybe you could draw Darax out somehow, " the elf says to the hobgoblin, "any way you can, just get him away from the area for a while, to give us time without the possibility of him coming in.
He then looks to the others and any obvious wounds they may still have, "If everyone is healed, we may as well just follow her back, about an hour or so behind, to give her time to try and get Darax away from the area. " He then checks his throwing daggers, then his rapier, then adds, "I'm ready to take on this wyrm."

The elf then looks to his traveling companion for the past few months, "Brettnor, you stay right here with us. We're gonna need you against this dragon. You can use you crossbow against him from a safe distance, then you can use your spells and be our medic in case someone gets hurt. After this one fight, you can leave if thats your wish." Ryx turns back to the others, obviously perturbed at the healer.

After a glance at the dents in his armour that conceal his many wounds, Stadvas raises an eyebrow at Brettnor sarcastically. "I could use some healing." The lack of initiatice from the cleric has not put him among Stadvas' favourite members of the group.
"Now... this dragon. We need everything we've got, and maybe more. My alchemist's fires are still unused. And remember, we better fight inside, so the dragon can't fly."
Current HP: 12/21. I wonder if out medic likes me.

"I am as ready as I can be, lets pray this works." Augustine looks truly nervous at the thought of facing down a dragon.

Urrtarr looks at Ryxikor and a sad smile covers her ugly hobgoblin face “It used to be easy to distract Darax for hours but this has not happened since the dragon invaded our lair. I will try my best. I will either come back myself or send a tribe member”
She goes back into the cavern.
Brettnor ready to leave is scolded by Ryxikor. The elf realized that he misjudged the young cleric but the group needs his skills at this time. He lectures him on his responsibilities and the human nods sheepishly.
Brettnor approached Stadvas and holding his holy symbol, invoke his divine magic. Stadvas wounds heal beautifully. He repeats it another time and all minor cuts are healed. He then go to Odlin and using his magic heals the dwarf minor cuts three time, allowing him to return at full health.
He looks back at Ryxikor “I have one spell left of good healing. After that it is the wand. I will follow you in the dragon’s lair”. Deep inside, Brettnor hopes he won’t soil his pants.
A few minutes later, Urrtarr returns with a big bruise on her face. “Well it did not go as well as I wished. Darax is in his room, nervous and afraid of you I believe. Whatever you do, do not kill him. I love him and I will not forgive you for killing him. Now follow me.” She returns to the cavern.
OOC: everyone is at full health. Brettnor has 1 CLW spell left.

Odlin grunts his disappointment at not having more time. He throws a glance to Augustine's bow and wishes he had a sleep arrow to subdue Darax.
"Well if we must go then go we shall."
The dwarf begins to worry that his arcane talent won't be the master of the black lizard and then her remembers the goblin's offer
"You bargained the trade of magicks for our help? What arcane insights can you let me glean?"
the only spell of use i have left is ray of enfeeblement which i shall use against the dragon. otherwise i'm only good for running errands and providing flanking.
edit: sorry for not posting yesterday, monday was a holiday in UK

Stadvas nods at Brettnor gratefully. "Thanks." While checking his equipment, he finds his arrows, and, looking at the others, asks, "Do I start with arrow or with flail?" The question shows a fragment of his mind's activity. The warrior is attempting to thing of every possibility and to prepare the best he can.
Another glimpse at his thought is shown when he briefly asks, nearly orders, the goblinoid, "Give us a quick description of the room."

Cal, we have had at least one night since the rest of the fighting, or are you talking about something that would be useful against a dragon? Augustine only needs four hours of sleep, so Odlin would be able to get eight hours easy, the elves just keep watch four hours each and nobody else needs to keep watch.
