The Tournament Paramount is coming up very soon and around the city people have been preparing for contests and games. People from all around have traveled to participate in the tournament games. Including a young buff gnome, with huge bulging muscles. He is probably the largest gnome you ever see. However this gnome seems to be lost and has a very worried expression on his face.
Orion is walking about the city, when he notices the worried look on the gnome face, "Hello there, it looks there is something troubling you. Perhaps I can offer some assistance?"
An influx of people means an influx of of the need for a watchful eye on the streets. Lydia moves along at a slow walk, left hand resting on the hilt of her longsword as she tries to enjoy the day and the sights of so many people.
Cressida is far more interested in the setting up of all the contests and games than anything about the security of the situation. But, noticing both the concerned gnome and Orion talking to him, she walks over to stand next to them. "Is something wrong?"
The gnome looks to Orion and nods, "Yes, I have a big problem! I just arrived in town with some friends, and we were hardly here for an hour and they went missing! I was looking all around for them, but I have no idea where they went."
Orion notices Lydia and waves her over to the group. He then looks down to the gnome, "Missing as in you were with them then next thing you know they disappeared. Or missing as in you guys got seperated and they are most likely exploring the city."
Lydia waves back at Orion before looking to the one he's with. Curiousity, and the beckoning, get her to come over to the people. "Is everything alright?" she asks, looking from one to another.
He looks to Orion, "I was registering for the tournament and they were with me, and when I turned around they were gone. We had some special training planned for the tournament as well, and they wouldn't miss that. I don't think they are just exploring, something happened!"
Cressida nods slightly, looking around a bit. "Well, we can see if we can help you find them. What did they look like? Were you all doing physical training, or..."

Everyone but Orion notice there is some goblin sneaking around in the distance and he seems to be watching the group. He would normally be pretty hard to spot but he bumps into someone by accident. He apologises then glances towards the group for a brief moment before he turns and runs away.
"Hey," says Cressida, pointing towards the goblin as he flees. "That guy is watching us... and now he's running. We should get him." She starts to give chase after him.
Lydia listens to the Gnome even as her eyes drift over towards where the small disturbance is. She frowns at the goblin and briefly glances back towards the others. When Cressida gives chase, she's quick to go after her a moment later.
Orion looks to Cressida, "What? Who is and where?" Cressida and Lydia then start to run, Orion looks to the gnome, "We better run after them." Orion starts to run after the others but make sure the Gnome stays with in his sight.
The gnome quickly follows after Orion and the group. The goblin notices people running and runs even faster. He turns and ducks down a back alley and you spot him running into some large warehouse, and quickly closes the door behind him.
Orion catches up with the others, and notices the goblin that ran into the large warehouse, he looks to the others, "Um do we have a plan, if not I will try opening the doors then going in." He looks to Lydia, "You might want to cast some of those longer lasting spells now?"
Cressida stops at the door to the warehouse, lookin gback as the others catch up with her. "This is where he went. It would be good if you took point, Orion. Not sure what we'll find inside."
Lydia considers things for the moment, looking around at those just outside of the door. "We don't know what's in there and I doubt going in single file will do much. If we're going to storm this place, I can shield the one who goes first and then the rest follow quickly will probably be the best bet."
The gnome decides to stay in the back. While he is pretty buff for a gnome he is just a bodybuilder not an adventurer. "Okay, you guys go in first and check it out, I will wait here in the back."
Orion looks to Lydia, "Ff the door opens you can cast the spell on Cressida." He then looks to Cressida, "Ok, going in." Orion now tries to open the door, if itdoes open he shall go in first.
Lydia nods her head in agreement, "Very well." she tells Orion before glancing towards Cressida and then back to the door as if to make sure where all is.
Cressida stands near Lydia as she prepares, so as to be close when it comes time for spells to be cast.
As the large double doors open, you find a large hobgoblin standing in front of the door with a longsword. Next to him is a smaller goblin warrior. Above them on a platform is two hobgoblins with longbows. Several other goblins are in the background, all staring right at the door as if expecting you. The hogblin in front starts to laugh loudly. "Oh look what we have here. Some thieves breaking into our warehouse." He grins as he glances back behind the group towards the gnome, "And what is this? One of the theives is a competitor in the tournament? I think this is grounds to get all the gnomes disqualified from the games." He lifts his sword. "Drop your weapons, you are under arrest!"
Orion looks to the Hobgoblin, "We shall not, we believe you and your group have kidnapped other gnomes to get rid of your competition. If we are wrong then lower your weapons and we can talk this out. If you do not lower your weapons, you will not live long enough to particpate in the tournament."
Lydia takes in the sight of all of them gathered and pointing bows and other weapons towards them. She told them it could get messy. For now though, she'll let Orion do the talking.
Cressida scoffs. "They think opening an unlocked door constitutes theft, and a gnome being visible constitutes clear involvement? They have some things to learn."

The goblins start their assault, and one of the hobgoblins nails cressida with an arrow, as the others attack the people in front. The smaller goblins don't seem too effective but they remain hiding near the back where it is safer. The hobgoblin and a brave smaller goblin meet the paladin and cleric head on in melee however. In the back one of the goblins chants a spell and tries to make Orion fall to the ground laughing but he resists the spell.

OOC> Orion says, "I am going to use smite on the hobgoblin in front of Orion. Is he evil?"

Cressida looks around the edge of the warehouse wall, now in a much better position to avoid being hit with a rain of arrows.

GAME: Cressida rolls ranged+1: (1)+3+1: 5
Cressida sees things starting to calm a bit. She moves into the room, running across the room to duck under the ledge of the platrom, keeping cover from the the archers. She invokes and throws a little ball of acid at the goblin as he moves for the ladder, then looks to her comapanions. "Careful, there are traps on the floor. There, and by the goblin back there."

Now on top off the plateform Orion seeks to deal with the archers, his longsword strikes the hobgoblin archer that is closest to him, the strike lands hurting the hobgoblin a little.

GAME: Orion rolls weapon3: (5)+6: 11
Cressida isn't seeing a clear shot coming any time soon, she she keeps her crossbow in hand and runs across the warehouse, standing next to Lydia as she resorts to invoking a blast of fire to burn the goblin. The goblin remains nimble, however, and ducks out of the way of the full force of the blast.
Orion misses once again with his attack. Perhaps it is because the Sith'makar is not used to being this high up while fighting that is causing him to miss the Hobgoblin over and over again.
GAME: Alice rolls 5-1: (11)+5+-1: 15
GAME: Alice rolls 4: (5)+4: 9

GAME: Cressida rolls 1d8: (2): 2

GAME: Orion rolls weapon3: (9)+6: 15
The nimble hobgoblin is able to move out of the way of Orion's attack. Orion's aim was better just not good enough.

Lydia moves around the corner fully. She's had it with this goblin and goes into a spin as she brings her longsword about to bear once more, intent on finishing the creature off. This time, her longsword strikes true, dispatching the goblin!
GAME: Cressida rolls weapon1+1: (9)+3+1: 13
Cressida moves a bit closer to Lydia, planning to keep close to a location of cover as she fires at one of those archers. The angle is not ideal, however, and her bolt simply soars overhead.
GAME: Orion rolls weapon3: (1)+6: 7
Orion can't be to sure of it but he think the hobgoblin is just mocking him, the hobgoblin is easily able to avoid Orion's longsword.
The archer fires another arrow at Lydia and misses but his friend continues to attack Orion on the platform, and scores another hit against him with his sword.
Lydia moves back now that the goblin she was fighting is dead and starts for the ladder to the platform. "Cressida, will you scout the rest of the place? Make sure there's no more surprises?"
GAME: Cressida rolls weapon1+1: (17)+3+1: 21
GAME: Cressida rolls 1d8: (4): 4
Cressida nods to Lydia, taking aim at the hobgoblin once again and firing at him, this time hitting him solidly in the shoulder. "Sure thing. I'll have a look." She's quick to move to the other side of the wall, avoiding any return fire that might have been coming her way and taking note of a set of levels, as well as another door.
<OOC> Orion says, "Will try a normal attack."
GAME: Orion rolls weapon3+1: (6)+6+1: 13
GAME: Alice rolls 5-1: (6)+5+-1: 10

The hobgoblin turns to look to Orion as his friend gets chopped up and he fires an arrow straight into Orion, hitting him hard.
GAME: Lydia rolls climb: (17)+-3: 14
Lydia glances up as she hears that release of an arrow and the thud of impact. QUickly, she moves up the ladder to gain her footing on the platform above. "Alrighty, I got this."
Also Cressdia finds two tied up buff looking gnomes in the backroom. They can't say anything because they got rags stuffed in their mouths to keep them silent.
Cressida lowers her crossbow and steps into the room, moving carefully over to the bound gnomes, kneeling down as she pulls out her dagger and starts to cut their bonds. "We're here to rescue you. Your friend tipped us off that you were missing."

Orion gets struck by the arrow pretty hard. He now shakes his head to the archer, "You are not going last as long as your friend did." To help prove his point Orion strikes the archer with his longsword.
With everyone up on the platform now the archer decides that is the last place he wants to be and he leaps off. He hits the ground and does a little roll before shooting an arrow back up towards Orion.
GAME: Lydia rolls cmb: (6)+5: 11
"Come back here!" Lydia growls as she moves to take off after the creature. She goes right to the edge of the platform and jumps! She tries to aim for the creature but misjudges and land for a solid thud and clang.
Orion is some what hurt and he remembers how succesfull the first goblin was at jumping off the plateform. He will get to the ground using the ladder.
Cressida moves to the other gnome, cuttin ghis bonds as well, leaving her dagger with them. "Here, stay here for now. There's still a bit of a fight going on out there. I'm going to help them finish things off." With that, she moves back out of the room and towards the combat.

GAME: Cressida rolls 1d8: (6): 6
Cressida moves to the nearby corner, looking back to the combat. Seeing the hobgoblin on the ground level now, she brings her crossbow up again and lets loose a shot. The unsuspecting hobgoblin is hit solidly in the chest, letting out a cry as he collapses to the ground.
Lydia looks at the body of the last hobgoblin before turning to see where the bolt came from. "Did you find anything?" she calls out towards Cressida.
Orion looks on to everyone, "Well we are all in one piece." He goes back to the first gnome to let him know it is safe for him to come inside.
The gnome peeks into the building and looks around, and he spots the other two gnomes coming out of the back. He rushes over to give them a hug, "You are both still alive! I was really worried about you." One of them nods his head, "Sorry for worrying you but they got the drop on us."
Cressida nods, gesturing to the reuniion. "I found the gnomes tiedup in back and undid them. Also, some levers. But, I'd guess they controll all the weird traps in the building, perhaps? I didn't stop to play with them."
Lydia grunts at the words. "That damn axe came from no where and hurt." she grumbles before looking at the bodies around them. "So, time to clean up."
Cressida nods. "Carefully. Though, I think we've pinpointed the traps now. Maybe it really was a training thing." She looks to the trio of gnomes. "I don't suppose any of you would know a weird training room by the controls?"
One of the gnomes shakes his head slightly, "Even if it was a training room, I wouldn't trust anything a goblin made."
Orion looks to Cressida "We could wake the goblin that jumped off the plateform first. He might know something more about this place and the training if this is information we think we need to know."
Cressida shrugs a bit. "I think we can just have all these guys taken away for kidnapping and let the guard deal with the warehouse. Though, we should check them for anything interesting first. It is customary."
Lydia moves towards the last of the creature to fall and kneels down to begin searching through what he has. "These guys seemed to be organized, that's for sure."
