Role-Play Chaos in Chalkos

[Meliva]

the shots on the right hit nothing but cave wall, the goblins having already ducked back around the corner and going further into the caves. The ones on the left make use of their cover, avoiding most of the shots and returning fire, felling a few men. Eloth takes a good look at the cage and the goblins in cover and with careful aiming chucks a fireball into a corner, killing a good chunk of goblins, and avoiding hitting the prisoners. He then rushes forward shouting.

They got cover, and we don't-so we are at a big disadvantage in a ranged fire fight, so we should instead rush them while their reloading and kill them in melee. I can't blast them anymore without risking hitting the prisoners.

[Jack Teach]

Fix bayonets!

the men fix bayonets and charge, some to the left some to the right. They leap over the cover and begin stabbing and hacking at the goblins, Malachi leaps over and swings cleaves two in half with his short stout cutlass, Charles thrusts intone after leaping over the left, and Edmund pistols one on the right.

[Meliva]

After a short while of intense fighting, the last of the goblins are killed. Eloth looks to the cage and as he begins to approach it, the door on the raised platform opens, and a single cloaked figure walks out, pulls a hidden level and laughs as they quickly go back behind the door closing it shut. A moment later the entire floor beneath the group retracts, dropping them all down a deep pit into a large damp room, with a sludge like liquid up to their knees, and filled with all manner of noxious items and refuse. The room is without any light, and all torches carried were put out in the fall. Many men vomit from the smell, and a few ended up with broken limbs from the fall. Eloth looks up as the floor they fell through closes back up before letting out a loud curse as he wipes the filth off him and starts making fire to light up the room as he looks around

I am going to use that bast*rds skull as a toilet for this. Sweet mother of mine I think this is where they dump their excrement. Everyone look for a way out, I want out of here asap.

[Jack Teach]

Malachi holds the long rosary hanging from his side out of the muck, Charles crinkles his nose.

Disgusting. Look around for a way out.

The men begin prodding the walls, trying to find a way out.

[Meliva]

After roughly 10 minutes of looking and finding nothing Eloth stomps his foot and shouts.

To hell with it, ill make a way out. I ain't spending another minute in this filthy hole.

Eloth looks straight up where they fell from, and with both hands chucks a massive fireball before Brian or Carl can warn him not to. The ball soars upward, crashing into the ceiling and blowing a hole into it, and causing the caves to quake, as rocks begin tumbling down burying Eloth. underneath the rubble, he grumbles in pain as Carl and Brian help him back up.

In hindsight, that wasn't my best idea. Anyone got any rope? I can fly on up and start pulling all of you out.

[Jack Teach]

Malachie reaches into a pack on his back and takes out a rope.

Here, this'll work nicely

[Meliva]

Eloth takes the rope, tests it for a bit, before jumping up and flies out of the hole. He then quickly begins pulling everyone out until everyone is back in the previous chamber. Eloth then plugs the hole with a nearby rock and goes over and snaps the lever that sent them there for good measure. He then starts trying to open the door the cloaked man came through, finding it locked and warded. He starts trying to force it open as he shouts back down.

You guys start trying to open up that door locking up the kiddos. Im gonna try to smash open this door. Brian, Carl you 2 guard the passage.

Brian and Carl nod as they both take defensive positions.

[Jack Teach]

Malachi runs to the door, takes out a metal lockpick, and begins working at the door. In a minute he has it open.

[Meliva]

The door Eloth was trying to open swings open as he tries ramming it, as several robed figures grab him and bring him forward before slamming the door again as it disappears.
Meanwhile at the cage with the children, the moment the lock is opened, the cage slides away downward, as the ragged children in the middle quickly toss off their rags, revealing themselves to be goblins, who quickly fire a volley with pistols, hitting and killing a few men, before taking out daggers and charging forth, laughing as they do so. Carl and Brian move to help defend, as Carl shouts in anger.

Damn it, bloody buggers are tricky ones. Cowards though.

[Jack Teach]

malachi swings his sword, killing one. Charles fires two pistols killing two more, the ones that get around them are shot dead by the marines.
