King Mob (Alastair Danaan): I got a new keyboard at work yesterday, it was in French… the poor IT guy came in just to give us these keyboards and now he has to come in again when Dell ships the real ones
King Mob (Alastair Danaan): There was a key for the upside down question mark, is that French or Spanish or both?

King Mob (Alastair Danaan): Gaming session gone downhill sign #1
Having wiped out the goblins in this room, the party has a decision to make: North, West or back the way they came
Erethis: Shall we go left like last time? No sense in confusing ourselves with the chance of doubling back on ourselves.
Godryk: Sounds good to me.
Alastair Danaan: Well, I have no opinion either way.
Alastair Danaan: Just want to keep moving
Xuande: I would prefer the west.
Xuande: Less chance of reaching alerted foes.

Alastair Danaan: Who is listening?
Spiv: I’ll take a quick listen.
Spiv: Skill [Perception] [1d20 = 15]
GM: this room smells like the goblins are not belivers in the idea that one does not piss where one sleeps
Rich blinks in disbelief as Thalamus materializes from the Aether.
King Mob (Alastair Danaan): Argh gross
Godryk: Think we should move on quickly as it’s really starting to smell bad..
Alastair Danaan: Well, shall we?
GM: All is quiet on the other side of this door, as far as you can tell
Erethis: Lets.
Spiv: Does someone want to volunteer to lead?
Erethis: Do the stealth thing again? Or all together?

Alastair Danaan: Fine with me.
Erethis: Sounds good.
Xuande nods in agreement.
Godryk (Godryk): I’ve got a stealth of as well.
GM: There is a faint light to the north
Spiv sneaks and sneaks and sneaks.
King Mob (Alastair Danaan): up to you, man. You can vote to stay back if you like and we can all go together
GM: but the rest of the room is totally dark
King Mob (Alastair Danaan): frankly a surprise round is not a big deal to me
Nosferatu (Rich): the loos of the coup de grace kind of was a pain.
Nosferatu (Rich): but we made it out fairly unscathed.
GM: A picture in the middle of this room shows flickering images of a sinister castle in the middle of a swamp.
King Mob (Alastair Danaan): ooo scary
GM: There is a large floating light
Nosferatu (Rich): I’ll laugh if we do to Atras what one of my old groups did to a DM, randomly found the fastest least monster filled way out of a dungeon.
GM: showing a castle in the middle of a swamp
4dSwissCheese (Erethis): Hobgoblin propaganda?
Ferret (Xuande): Or travel agency ad.
Nosferatu (Rich): are the hobgoblins wearing brown shirts?
King Mob (Alastair Danaan): Hob propaganda: Join de army or else your clan will kill you.
Alastair Danaan: Fascinating… I must see it.
Alastair Danaan: More light? Ardril?
4dSwissCheese (Erethis): Check for traps as we go…
Nosferatu (Rich): and the door slams shut and locks!
Xuande: How interesting.. I’ve naught seen its like before.
Scaphism (Spiv): Don’t give him ideas!
King Mob (Alastair Danaan): … with Thalamus on the other side?
Ferret (Xuande): The doors already do everything else automatically, why not that? :P
Nosferatu (Rich): poor Thalamus all alone, with a bunch of hobgoblins…
GM: There are two doors along the north wall, one heading East, one West
Alastair Danaan: Do I have to light a lamp, or will you cast something for us, Ardril?
