(this takes place the same day ... about 6pm in the night.. of the first FG game session, first day of Autumn Dark (what we would consider to be november 1st in the "real world" ) ... The sun sets on the carnage of the battle... Six hobgoblins have been killed, two ran away , but their leader, a fewmaster Toede has been captured thanks to Adam pummeling him senseless as he tried to flee and Reika laying some - literally - surpressing fire on him.... the hobgoblins have little of value on them save their longswords and the flies noisily buzzing around their corpses... Toede however carries a finely made short sword, a normal looking steel shield, and a finely made suit of leather armor.. though given it was custom built to his bloated frame it's unlikely the smelly disgusting thing will fit any of you. " Look.. my name is .. Fewmaster Toede.. and I'm a VERY important person" Toede tries to smile at you, shivering in fear as the stink of hobgoblin sweat fills the air. " Let's say we avoid all this unpleasantness and let me go - you wouldn't want to get my employers upset , believe me " ... Eolaer stiffens for a moment, looking off into the distance.. abruptly he blinks and looks around as if surprised to see the rest of you (the reason why this happens is detailed in Eolaer's private forum) .Toede's horse whinnies weakly as the scaled half-devil apologizes to it, stroking it's fur softly as Adam murmurs to the pony. Grass-sniffer comes strolling in long after the fight has ended... judging from his lopsided gait and the overly friendly look on his face you could tell even without looking at what 's clamped in his mouth he's found another patch of "special grass"... he dumps the whole slobbery mess in front of the tree Nine has climbed up in (Nine sees nothing approaching in the distance ) , barking proudly, obviously expecting his master to partake of it. Reika appears to be talking to her staff.. Daemy cleans the gore off her blade with a disgusted look at the hobgoblins as she checks their bodies.. it's hard to believe the delicate, incredibly lovely elven woman could dish out the carnage she did .... stabbing not one but two hobgoblins right through the eye sockets... though from the arrow she shot into Toede's thigh as he lay on the ground one can tell she doesn't take insinuations that she be captured as a "pleasure slave" lightly.... Rin eyes Toede with a beady look in the black shining orbs that serve as his eyes... looking down at the bits of testicle still on his whip the bird-man grumbles " This stuff is IMPOSSIBLE to get out .. Ah well, it'll teach them not to even talk about molesting the women-folk" He gives Reika and Daemy what seems to be a grin from his beak (note .. everyone probably already knows this but Rin is not a divine-type character so no higher authorities to answer to so to speak )

Shrugging Rin puts the whip back on it's loop, and walks over to Toede.
"So then tell me what were you sent here for? Surely "'Interrogating the women"' wasn't worth risking your lives over."
Rin squats down next to Toede. "For all you knew we could have been highly trained soldiers."

" It's.. um... classified" Toede replies, looking every which way but Rin's as he nervously licks his lips, fresh beads of sweat collecting on his greenish-yellow skinned brow... Toede's eyes keep straying in fascinated horror to and then away again from the strands of testicle still caught in Rin's whip.

"You don't sound too sure of that, Maybe I should use this to persuade you some."
Rin points to his whip, and grins.
"Or you can tell me and we can avoid the nasty.... consequences."

(go ahead and make an Intimidate check Rin, will use the scout's honor system here , just tell me what the result of the roll was
Also as an FYI expect a lecture on morality from Adam the Lawful Good monk.. while we should all bear in mind he IS a monk - almost priest-like in his demeanor - and is bound to lecture PC's no matter what , one thing I do want to point out from tonight's FG game... administering a coup de grace on a helpless opponent, even an evil one , is technically not considered Good aligned behavior.. Good aligned PC's in the group please take note of this... we could debate the morality of it forever and never come to a resolution, basically a DM has to make a ruling at some point and this is my ruling I'm afraid... just want to head off any problem areas before they start. Far as I'm concerned however once a foe is NOT helpless and is on his feet attacking you anything goes, you can slice and dice as you please and still be Good aligned (long as it's not say some poor hypnotized not-in-control-of-himself peasant slob you could defeat with one hand tied behind your back )... scaring the hell out of prisoners with threatened violence, making them BELIEVE you'll do something horrible to them is also fine you can still retain your Good alignment.. but actually physically torturing them would not be considered Good aligned behavior either.
Also bear in mind what i mentioned on skype a while back.. released prisoners, even ones of evil alignment, will never come back to haunt you or create trouble in some way - it's unfair of me to punish good guys for acting like good guys basically... the prisoner will either hide away in secrecy removing himself from the whole thing entirely or may even become a good guy so to speak working on your side given time.
Also , for the record in the bar brawl in the Inn of the Last Home we went over in FG, Eolaer inflicted subdual damage on Adam far as I'm concerned (there's been some confusion over this which is why I bring it up) ... he did score a 'critical effect" in the same way Adam is able to on his subdual attacks but the effects tend to go away, being healed along with the subdual damage (an ad-hoc decision on my part).. Adam's ribs were bruised, not broken in the fight... Sorry if I didn't make this clear on FG my sincerest apologies but basically here's what happened :
- Eaoler made an unarmed trip attack against Adam and succeeded - Eaoler scored a crit so I decided to apply the crit effect from torn asunder crit hits sourcebook - HOWEVER since it was an unarmed attack the crit hit (and the damage from it since malkav565 felt it should result in some hp damage) was considered subdual.. as far as I'm concerned if you attack someone with unarmed combat type stuff,unless you have the ability to do lethal unarmed combat AND you declare you're doing lethal damage, any such attack and any crit effects or damage automatically fall into the "subdual damage" category

(Also to clarify the post above a bit further... the bar brawl with the PC's was awesome , I'm not saying that was a bad thing by any means ! I'm a big fan of non-lethal combat between PC's ... if it devolves into lethal combat it should be because a PC crossed the line (a paladin going after a PC who is behaving in an evil fashion for example) ... and this isn't intended to be a lecture either , I myself had my paladin's powers taken away for a day in one campaign I was a player in because the DM and I had different views on morality - once I knew what the DM's views were though I modified my paladin accordingly... so again, not trying to pick on any particular player ! It's just a matter of working out what the DM's views on morality are so players know in the future - I made a few comments about the treatment of helpless prisoners before but I don't think I commented on helpless combatants so my bad ..... )

(I deal lethal with my unarmed. Improved Unarmed makes unarmed damage lethal.)
Eolaer walks over to toade and kneels before him.
"Listen to me and listen to me well." Eolaer bellows as he stares into Toade's eyes. "Tell us what we want to know. If you do, we can protect you. I will let no harm befall a friend, or someone who helps me. On this you have my word. But if you do not speak, I will leave you here in these woods to die."

(go ahead and roll Intimidate as well Eoaler... also Eolaer as far as the unarmed combat , the way I see it you have a choice whether to deal lethal or non-lethal , DM's decision ... is it safe to say in a brawl with PC's you'd do non-lethal unless the PC is really going "over the line" somehow? )

(daemy sits near the toad and looks at him sweetly (batting eyes and everything))
c'mon, just tell us what we want to know and you'll be protected. i hate to think of what would happen if your employers found out we kidnapped you...
(rolled seduction 15+11=26.....this is also assuming the intimidate checks didn't work out)

(Cool Daemy's on the forum this is awesome welcome ! Ok I'm going to go ahead and advance this thread w/o worrying about the PM I sent to Rin earlier since I have two players waiting on a reply on it ) Toede SHRIEKS and backs away from Rin and his whip with the bits of testicle still on it... bumps into Eolaer bellowing at him, screams like a little girl and crawls on his butt away from him (it appears he is slowly regaining sensation in his legs) ... then looks desperately at Daemy.. as she coos to him he nods frantically " You'll protect me right ? " The combination of threatening him and Daemy's approach.. "good cop bad cop" as it were... appears to have worked wonders. Daemy's striking good looks don't hurt either. " All right.. all right .. remember you said you were going to protect me ! " Toede points frantically at Daemy ... " You're.... you're about to be .. invaded... by.... dragons" Toede covers his head as if expecting a beating... his reaction is understandable - dragons are a fairy's tale, a myth, a story you tell to children .. " It's true I tell you, dragons are real... for god's sake you've got bits of ball hanging off your whip" Toede points a wavering finger at Rin , " You speared my man right through the groin when you killed him " another wavering finger pointed at Eolaer " And you're real nice and all but you stabbed two of my men through the eyesocket without even breaking a sweat " a third wavering finger pointed at Daemy.. " For the sake of the true gods do you REALLY think I'm going to lie to you at this point?" ... Toede is babbling in fear... he certainly appears to be telling the truth.. the question is, is he delusional? (DM's note.. the last true dragons on Krynn were seen one thousand three hundred years ago ... Reika is the only one who would even have a chance of knowing this and even then only if she passes her knowledge arcana roll (DC 20) , spellcraft checks unfortunately will not help in this regard.. as far as everyone else knows dragons are a children's story - not real.)
