OOC: Perhaps he would be more tempted to follow if someone let fly with a few choice insults of their own?
Also I wonder if the human he has chained up is the Wizard whose tower we are currently exploring.

Poncho: Taunts hum.. ok..
"Noo, why don't you come over here and say that, you evil toad dog killer bastaaard! Set our people free!"
Oh hell, Poncho lets loose with an arrow too. Either he'll chase us or clear the doorway so we can move in.
OOC: Were there any other exits visible from our quick view of the throne room?

Quinlan: "King Atatruk, lord of the deep, we have come bearing tribute from the vermin of Esperance but at every turn our attempts to contact you have been thwarted by your able but overzealous guards. We will withdraw to the kitchen area and await your arrival."

The King deftly dodges Poncho's arrow and laughs menacingly.
"Such toothpicks are barely worth avoiding. Now quit your cowardly escape and come back here so I can have you for lunch!"
OOC: The room did not look like a throne room, there were some odd niches on both sides, but your torchlight did not carry very far.

"Should I make us invisible now?" Alwyn asks quietly.

"Oh enough of this" Drugan growls.
He angrily stalks from behind the impromptu shield wall.
"Verklud when they come through let fly with flame and spell"
"Alwyn don't hold back this beast sounds like he needs killing in the worst way"
Drugan pokes his head around the corner & points at the "King".
"So is that you I can hear bellowing like an incontinent pregnant dog ( b.i.t.c.h ) in heat you fatherless by-blow of a crippled frog"
"I will personally cut your heart from your still beating chest and feed it to whatever base sleeper (w.h.o.r.e) was unfortunate enough to nuts ( excrete ) you into this world"
"Now face me & die!"
Drugan casts Laceration at the "king".

Poncho: "Wow, Drugan! You're pretty good with those insults."
"If your spell doesn't shift him let's move in a little closer and see if a combination of firebombs and caltrops will do it."

Quinlan adjusts his hat in a menacing fashion, secretly wishing he had DEX enough to hold a bow, let alone fire one!

OOC: If this doesn't work I'll cast "Oh go Away" and lead him back to our trap. Just be ready for me to dive behind our table-fort like the cowardly wizard I am!  |

Poncho: "I spotted an odd-shaped iron dagger in the King's fist earlier."
"I've heard tell these blades can protect their bearer from certain magicks. I fear this may be how Atatruk flummoxed the local Wizard... surely that poor fellow at the tail of the chain fits the bill."

OOC: Yeah the old meteoric iron thing, however I really don't think an armored ( thrown dagger bouncing off ), arrow dodging, magic resistant super bad-guy with a ton of backup minions is likely in a 1st level adventure.
I mean that would be a bit much for a first outing wouldn't it?

Poncho's suspicions prove correct. Drugan's magical expenditure of strength seems to have no effect at all on the gill-man king. He just laughs raucously and sets off down the corridor after Drugan.
"Is that the best you can do, you mushy humans!"
While Drugan, Poncho, Quinlan and Melanthios are occupied in the western corridor, Alwyn, Charles and Varklud who are still in the abattoir hear approaching footsteps and slamming doors from the south corridor. Apparently the gill-men have you cornered!

Verklud: "Alwyn, I'd say you should throw up the veil as soon as our companions return."
In the meantime, I will throw a flask of oil down the south hall, and lob a torch thereafter.

"Wait Verklud, let's secure the door after you throw the oil. We don't want to smoke ourselves out again.
Charles rushes to the southern door and closes it after Verklud has tossed the oil and torch into the hallway beyond. He then returns to his position beside the overturned table to await the charging leader.
"Do you have any magic to seal the door closed?"

Poncho: "Yikes, here he comes... back to positions everyone. Leg it."
OOC: Poncho will drop torch and caltrops in the east-west corridor as before. If this big guy is magic-resistant maybe we could surprise him with a round of veiled vorpalled blades.
